CHAPTER 88

**Kapittel 88**

**"The bottle's pointing at you."**

Hades averted his gaze from Allison's stunning face painted with artistic freckles and turned to face the clique members who were staring wide-eyed at him with sinister smiles smeared on their faces. "Truth," he said sternly with his voice velvety, serving like music to her ears that began flapping in delight and ecstasy.

It was Valentin who spoke, "Tell us something about you that Allison doesn't know yet."

"That's a lame question, Valentin." Alissa scoffed before lifting the rim of her bottled beer to her lips and chugging down all of its contents. Valentin just ignored her remark and grabbed another bottle from the cooler then threw it to Hades who luckily caught the bottle in one swift move, which Allison did not see but instead, felt. It made her think that the man had such remarkable senses and quick reflexes.

Hades lifted the bottle to his mouth and bit the cap between his lips. "I'm a former member of the Special Forces," he answered before chugging the beer down to his throat. The woman's eyes grew wide and her jaw gaped open in bewilderment when she heard his statement. So that explained his bulging muscles and mastery of boxing!

"Woah!" Alexandre drew out a bewildered sigh, looking at him with wide eyes like the man was some kind of an alien.

"Cool," complimented Stijn, also staring at him in pure awe and aghast, his slender fingers losing their grip on his bottle, making it drop on the sand with a small thud.

Meanwhile, the girls gasped and complimented him, their drunken state immediately died off and they became sober out of pure astonishment. While Allison clandestinely imagined the man in a camouflage uniform that would hold tightly on his buff muscles, holding a Close Quarters Battle Reciever and crouching down the bushes, trying to hide from the enemy and waiting for the right time to do a good ambush.

"It wasn't a lame question after all," Alissa stated, taking back what she had said earlier and quaffing her beer like a doyen alcoholic who drank once again after a very long time. She sighed in pure ecstasy before taking a hold of the bottle and spinning it again, which turned to Alexandre who immediately answered dare, shocking Allison downright to the core. The boy did foolish things when drunk, she was sure of that.

It was Stijn who told the dare. "I dare you to sing Mikey Bustos' parody of Despacito which is I Wear Speedos while doing a sexy dance."

The dare-given teen imbibed his beer heartily before standing up, his face all red and tipsy with a cocky smirk etched on his innocent face. "Is that all? Wooh!" he began hopping like a kid, wiggling his hands. "Easy peasy, lemon squeezy," he said before complying with his dare.

The boy raised his arms in the air and began swerving his body, shaking his waist in a very funny and cocky manner then began singing the parody's chorus.

*"I wear Speedos

When I'm at the beach you see me wear my Speedos

Cover your kid's eyes 'cause I'm wearing my Speedos

I am feeling fresh like I'm an ad for Mentos~"* he then started to twerk his butt, making everyone in the group laugh, except for Hades who tried to cover her eyes but unlucky for him, the woman blocked his huge palm. He frowned at her response and she just stuck her tongue at him in return.

She then returned her gaze to Alexandre who was enjoying himself complying with his dare. She may be shocked because of the timid boy's sudden change of attitude and level of charisma brought by intoxication by she enjoyed every second of this moment, watching the drunk, unfazed drunken guy swerving and shaking his body crazily whilst singing with his non-singing voice out loud with all his heart and soul and tiddly.

"I wear speedos!" Alexandre shouted in the air one last time, ending his performance number that earned a standing ovation from everyone, except for Hades who didn't seem to be impressed, let alone amused. The boy smiled widely at his audience before doing a high five with Stijn and Valentin then sitting down on his spot.

The game went and on and on and on until the bottle's lips pointed at Hades once again.

"Hades," Khuleen muttered the man's name with such admiration in her voice. The girl had d been talking to the man like he was some person part of the royal family ever since she'd learned that he was part of the Special Forces before.

Allison turned her head to face the man who had emptied almost 7 bottles since his first. She saw how his eyes averted at the girl before quaffing his beer, emptying it, and saying, "Truth." She couldn't help but admire how adorable the man looked with his slightly red, strong, angular cheekbones and ears.

"What do you sometimes imagine of yourself with Allison?" it was Estelle who asked, still sentient but drunk, like a person who had a high tolerance for booze. No one reacted negatively with the question, expecting an exciting answer coming from the man.

He threw his empty bottle and asked for another from Valentin, who immediately gave him one. Like how he did with the prior bottles, he opened it by biting the cap off the bottle, brought the bottle's rim to his lips before drinking a small amount, and trailing off, "I always imagine myself... working in my room..."

"Aw, that's... hiccup! Bor...ing, and it... hiccup! Doesn't even answer the question... hiccup!" Delphine pouted with her remark, disappointed in his answer. Allison saw it crystal clear that the girl was going to pass out anytime from now. Among everyone else, she was the one who had been drinking aggressively.

"... with Allison, only in her underwear, probably one that's so thin that I could see her cute, little, tight pussy... she'll make hot coffee that is enough to make me stay awake all night... while she tempts and teases me by... touching me on places she shouldn't touch..." he slurred, finishing his answer and chugged his beer once again.
