Chapter 55: Chapter 55

Ezlyn pouted her lips and said, "I choose to dare."

Rosalie said enthusiastically, "Okay, then, dance for us."

Ezlyn responded, "Okay, no problem."

Ezlyn danced to a song, amazingly. At the end of the dance, everyone clapped their hands and applauded. The bottle was turned again. This time it stopped in front of Calista.

Ezlyn asked, "Truth or dare, dear?"

Calista answered, "I will take the truth."

Harold said with a crooked smile, "This time, I'm asking."

Harold looked at Rhino first then at Calista and asked, "Calista, has anyone ever proposed to you?"

At Harold's question, Rhino's heart felt a sudden thump.

"Did someone really propose to her? Has anyone come before me in my love's life? No no, it can't be. Never. Calista is only mine and no one else's."

Thinking these things in his mind, Rhino was eagerly waiting to know Calista's answer. Hearing Harold's question, Ezlyn burst out laughing. Seeing Ezlyn laughing like this, everyone looked at her with furrowed brows.

Ezlyn stopped laughing and said, "What do you say? Calista and propose? It is never possible. The girl who starts shivering at the sight of boys always stays twenty hands away from boys. How would someone propose to that girl?"

Rhino breathed a sigh of relief at Ezlyn's words. A little more patience would have given the poor man a heart attack.

"Again, I am very happy to think that Calista is really a pure soul. Which is only mine and no one else's."

Edith looked at Calista and said with a smile, "Do you know Calista, you and Rhino are of the same nature in this matter. Just like you stay away from boys, Rhino always stays away from girls. You may be afraid and stay away. But he deliberately stays away. You might not believe it. Even after living in America for so many years, Rhino is always far away from girls. He never had a girlfriend. Although girls are always crazy about him. Yet he never let them approach him."

Calista was very surprised to hear Edith's words.

"In today's era there are such men? And look at him! He is too handsome. He is such a good man."

Calista felt very good when thinking about it.

Harold said from the middle, "Yes Calista, Edith is right. Girls are always arguing behind my brother to have him. But he drives them away like flies. I sometimes had doubts. What if he is a gay!"

Everyone laughed at Harold's words. Rhino looked at Harold with fire in his eyes and scolded him.

Rhino scolded, "Shut up, idiot. You have started your nonsense again."

Calista never had a chance to gossip with people. She always went to school, had her classes and then went to her home. She never talks about anything but studies. So she had no idea what gay means.

She said with a confused face, "But what is this gay again? I don't understand that. Can anyone explain it to me?"

At Calista's words, everyone looked at her with surprised eyes.

Harold said, "Like seriously Calista? You are a girl of this era and you do not know what gay is called?"

Calista pursed her lips and shook her head. She didn't know.

Rosalie explained, "Let me explain it to you. When a boy loves another boy they are called gay. And it is not only for boys but also for girls."

Calista smiled and said, "Oh, I see, but that's a good thing. What's wrong here? If you look at it like that, I am also a gay."

Poor Rhino was drinking a cold drink when Calista said that. Calista's words made cold drinks stick in his throat and he coughed. The cold drinks in his mouth came out from his mouth while coughing. Everyone looked at Calista with wide eyes. Harold put both hands on both ears and turned his face towards the sky.

Harold uttered, in a dramatic way, "What is she saying! Why didn't I put headphones on my ears before listening to this? What will happen to my brother now?"

Seeing everyone's reaction, Calista was shocked.

"What wrong did I say that everyone is reacting like this?" Calista thought.

Rhino somehow stopped coughing and looked at Calista and said, "Calista, what? What are you saying?"

Calista said with a sigh, "What did I say wrong? I said right. I love Ezlyn too. So I'm gay, right?"

By Calista's words, everyone understood that Calista had misunderstood what Rosalie said. Poor Rhino breathed a sigh of relief. He tried to fix himself with his hand on his chest. A little more would have given the poor man a heart attack.

Ezlyn said with her mouth close to Calista's ear, "Calista, what are you talking about? This love is not that love."

Ezlyn explained everything to her. Calista's ears warmed after understanding everything. She was very ashamed. She did not understand what she should say. Now she was ashamed to look at everyone.

"I want to break through the ground and enter. What the need to blubber so much!"

Rhino understood the matter and looked at Harold and said, "Why does your game stop? Spin the bottle again."

Harold nodded his head and turned the bottle again. Now it stopped at Harold. Harold chose to dared. Rhino smiled devilishly at this.

He said with a crooked smile, "Harold, you will dance to Chris Brown's 'Take you Down' song."

Saying that, Rhino smiled.

Harold stood up from sitting and said, " What's it, brother? How do I do that?"

"Dare is dare, my brother. Do as you are told."

Everyone else agreed with Rhino's words and asked Harold to dance. Poor Harold got up to dance as he could not find any other way. 'Take You Down' was played in the sound box. At one stage of the song, Harold was doing step by lying on the floor while holding one leg with both hands. Everyone else ended up laughing seeing that. After a while Harold came up after dancing. Holding his waist with one hand, he bent his back and walked towards his seat.

When Harold came and sat down, Edith smiled crookedly and said in Harold's ear, "Will you be able to bring your future generation to the world or is it all over today?"

Harold looked at Edith with angry eyes and said, "Huh, your time is still good. I will see everything when you have a girlfriend."

Edith laughed.

After chatting like this for a while Rhino said, "Now we should back up. Otherwise it will be night before reaching home."

Everyone else agreed with Rhino's words. Suddenly Harold's phone rang. Harold answered the phone and spoke.

After speaking, Harold looked at Rhino and said in a worried tone, "Brother, we have a problem."

Rhino raised his eyebrows, "What's the problem?"

"The driver said that there was a big accident at the intersection of the road here. That's why the road is blocked. The car cannot move. The road won't be clear before tomorrow morning. The driver can not come because of this."

Everyone was worried by Harold's words.

Edith asked, "What to do now, Rhino? There will be no problem with us. But will it be a problem if Ezlyn and Calista can't go home?"

Ezlyn uttered, "There won't be much problem in my house. It would be a problem for Calista to stay out at night. But there is no one in her house now. So I think it doesn't seem to be a problem."

Calista did not know what to say. Although there was no one at home, Calista didn't feel like staying out at night like this.

Seeing Calista's silence, Rhino said, "Tell me if you have a problem. I'll drop you to your home anyway. So, don't you worry."

Edith said in a worried voice, "It will not be right to go out in this condition. You may end up in trouble with the police."

Calista got scared after hearing the police.

She said, stutterly, "No, no need to go. There will be no problem at my house."

Rhino asked, "Are you sure?"

Calista nodded her head, saying, "Yeah."

Then everyone decided to stay there for the night.

-----------------------------------------------

It was 9-30 pm, and a little earlier everyone had dinner . Now they were sitting on the couch talking. Rhino went to his room to freshen up. A little later he came down. Rhino furrowed his brows, not seeing Calista anywhere.

He asked, "Where is Calista? I do not see her."

Ezlyn said, "Brother, I saw her go outside."

"Outside? What is she doing outside at night? Okay, no problem. I see."

Rhino went outside saying that. Calista was sitting on the edge of the pool with her feet under the swimming pool. The pool water was sparkling in the moonlight. She was looking around. She was sitting and enjoying the atmosphere. Rhino came out and saw Calista sitting by the pool. Rhino smiled and walked towards Calista.
