Chapter 31: Chapter 31

I nibbled on my bottom lip."Romeo." I called out his name in a whisper.

I met my boyfriend's gaze. My honey brown eyes locking with a pair of beautiful forest green eyes.

My hands tightened into fists, as I looked into his eyes. My tongue was tied, I couldn't mutter anything anymore.

"Why are you holding my girl?"

Romeo's voice resounded in my head. His words came out deep and high pitched. He sounded so cold. Was he already pissed off about the kiss?

Xander instantly released his grip on my wrist."Take it easy. You don't have to shout." He muttered under his breath.

Romeo threw him a deadly glare."I don't want you to touch her anymore or even talk to her." He warned him.

"What if I do? Mind you, I've kissed her. Tell me, what's the point?" Xander blurted out and walked out of our presence, before his words could sink into our memory.

"You shared a kiss with Xander, right?" Romeo asked, picking his words one after the other.

My eyelids dropped. I have landed myself in trouble. I made a mental note to deal with Xander later. He kissed me and went ahead to tell my boyfriend. Where did he get the audacity from? He was a chicken. He didn't wait for Romeo's reaction. He left, after putting me in trouble.

How I wish Joey was here with me right now. I didn't think I could do this by myself. I didn't know what to say, I had run out of words.

"I believe I asked you a question, Ivy Young."

I flinched. How did Romeo sound so scary? He has been pushed to the edge already. I hate when he is pissed off. Romeo was such a hot tempered person. I think he has changed. It has been a while since he got upset over little things. But, today would be so different. Obviously, I had succeeded in getting him mad, all thanks to Xander Cullen.

"Romeo." I muttered.

"Did you share a kiss with Xander?" He repeated his question.

My eyes roamed where we were standing. People were around, enjoying their life to the fullest. I wish I could tell Romeo that we should have this discussion in a private place. But, I didn't have the courage to form the words, not to talk or say it out loud.

I cleared my throat, avoiding his intense gaze."Look Romeo, the kiss happened by mistake. I didn't - "

"I asked a simple question and I want you to give me a direct answer. Stop beating around the bush." Romeo snapped at me.

I nodded my head gently. My eyes flooded with tears. I hate when people shout at me. Yelling at me was enough to make me shed tears.

"Did you really kiss Xander Cullen?"

"Yes." I said gently.

I didn't want him to bark at me. I had to reply to him even though the question wasn't correct. I wasn't the one who kissed Xander. He kissed me.

Romeo didn't say anything for a few minutes. I still didn't have the courage to look into his eyes. My gaze was fixed on the ground.

Romeo started."Ivy, you - "

"Latest couple in town."

Mason interrupted my boyfriend with his usual mischievous grin on his face.

"What are you doing there? The game is about to get started." Mason said.

Before I could protest that I wasn't interested in the game, Mason already grabbed my wrist. We were going to where the game will take place.

I turned to look at Romeo. Our eyes met. He had a blank look on his face. He didn't say anything, he only shook his head.

His silence was dreadful. I hoped he wasn't up to something.

Mason and I entered a room where they wanted to play the game. Romeo was also behind us. I didn't bother to look at him. I hated the way he was staring at me.

The room was filled with some familiar faces. I knew some people there. They were Romeo's football teammates and some cheerleaders.

I also saw Samantha. She waved at me and I waved back. Thank God, she acted nice to me. I would have thought that she was jealous about my relationship with Romeo.

Something popped in my mind as I sat down beside Mason. I hoped it wasn't another truth or dare game or spin the bottle. Would it be okay to play a "truth or dare" game when you're in a relationship? Well, my boyfriend was here with me too.

Truth or dare would be okay, as I didn't cross my boundary.

"Time for Truth or Dare. If you know you're still underaged, you can make use of the door. We don't want kids here." Samantha announced, her high pitched voice filling the room.

I couldn't stop myself from rolling my eyes, even though she didn't direct her sentence to me. I feel attacked. I was underaged. A seventeen years old. But, I'll be eighteen soon.

Soon, the game started. It was the usual stuff. Kissing, giving lap dances, making out and other kinky things.

I was glad that it hadn't reached my turn, since they started the game. I wish I could sit in the room, without being noticed by anyone. I only want to keep stealing glances at my boyfriend. The blank look mixed with anger was still plastered on his face. The game hadn't reached his turn. It even seemed like he wasn't interested in the game.

"Ivy, your turn."

My heart skipped a beat when I heard my name. Guess my plan to stay unnoticed failed. What bad luck!

"Truth." I said.

My fingers were crossed. I didn't want a dirty question or any question that would make me land into trouble.

"Among everyone in this room, you are sexually attracted to who?" A boy I didn't know asked me the question.

I heaved a sigh of relief. At least, it was a question I could answer without lying or bothering my head.

"Romeo Sparks. My boyfriend." I replied.

"The last sentence was unnecessary though." One of the cheerleaders muttered under her breath.

I hissed inwardly. I knew the girl would be among those who were jealous about my relationship with Romeo. Making her stupidity known to everyone was also unnecessary.

The game continued. I didn't focus on the game until it reached Romeo's turn.

I expected him to choose "Truth" just like I did , but I was disappointed when he chose "Dare". He shouldn't have done that. He was in a relationship and he knew his friends. They would surely dare him to do something stupid.

"Romeo, I dare you to kiss Khloe."

My eyes widened. Why would one of the cheerleaders dare him to do that? She knew that his girlfriend was here.

As if on a cue, almost everyone in the room turned to stare at me. Did they expect me to be pissed off or what?

I gave a half shrug. I trusted my boyfriend. I was sure he would refuse the dare. The punishment of refusing the dare was taking a glass cup filled with alcoholic content. It was something easy. Romeo would surely refuse the dare.

I looked up. My eyes with my boyfriend's. He nodded his head gently. I wondered why he gave a nod.

A line appeared between my brows when I saw that Romeo stood up and walked over to Khloe's side. I watched as he captured her lips.

Wait, is this an imagination or what?

Damn! It was the reality.

My boyfriend kissed another girl in my presence.
