That man was a master of flirting Wendy s face turned a mix of red and white as she remembered everything about that night how he kissed her with his eyes wide open how he mocked her when she was lost in the kiss
He had the nerve to bring it up again
Stanley grabbed her chin his eyes filled with mischief as he looked down at her Let s see if you really don t love me anymore
Without warning he leaned into kiss her lips
Wendy felt like Stanley that arrogant jerk was certain she still had feelings for him He though the could just bully her into showing affection
She wasn t about to let him win In a swift move she bent her knee and shoved it into his
groin.
Stanley wasn t expecting it He gasped in pain clutching his stomach

Wendy returned to the lavish booth where Jessica and Trish were already seated again The Truth or Dare round was clearly over and she couldn t just let them fight over Stanley any
longer.
Stanley had returned to his spot as well his face clouded with an unapproachable air
Wendy avoided his gaze acting as though nothing had happened
The third round of the game started This time the beer bottle s neck pointed toward Benny while the bottom of the bottle pointed at Nathan
Benny rubbed his hands together excitedly Finally my turn Nathan it s your turn for ad are Just like Trish I want you to pick one of the ladies here and kiss them for three minutes
