Chapter 90: The picnic ( 3 )

Clare span again. This time it was between Alyssa and Calcel.

" Wow , Aunty and Calcel. " Clare said with a clap.

Calcel was the one to ask. He looked at her and he could see she wasn't comfortable .

" Truth or Dare ? " He asked .

" Truth.. " She answered.

":Aunty you can't do truth twice. It has to be a dare. " Clare reminded.

" A dare ? " She asked with her eyes widely open..

" Yes. Bro give her a dare . " Clare added.

" I can't do anything. I will quite the game. " Alyssa said and stood up to leave when David stopped her by his words.

" You can't quite the game until it's done. " He said.

" Buh sir , I am..." She was trying to explain with Clare added. " Aunty come on ! "

" Huh.." She sighed and sat back.

" Bro , Go ahead. " Clare said to Calcel.

" Anything ? " Calcel asked Clare.

" Sure . " They all said.

Calcel looked back at Alyssa and then said.

" I dare you to say that you love me. " He said which surprised everyone.

" What ? " Alyssa squealed . " I can't do that.." She said.

" Aunty come on , It's something small. " Clare said.

Alyssa's heart started pumping fast. How could she just say that word before everyone.

" Buh I can't . How can I..." She was talking when David stopped her Midway.

" Aly , We are playing a game. " He reminded.

She looked at all of them and then Calcel. She heaved a heavy sigh and then said.

" I love you . " She said.

" We didn't hear .." Clare said.

" I ..love you , Calcel. " Alyssa said in a calm voice.

Calcel smiled on hearing that word from her. Ya , It was a game but he felt like it was real.

" Excuse me ! " Alyssa said immediately got up and left .

Calcel made a sigh while smiling but didn't realize that they were all looking at him.

" Huh...I. ..I am sorry. I will excuse myself. " He also said and left.

Alyssa had gone to the car and she stood there leaning against the boot. ' How could he make say that I love him ! ' She cursed innery . She turned around to open the boot when she heard a voice say.

" I love you too , Alyssa . " On hearing that she turned around again. And it was Calcel. He had his normal cold expression.

" What are you doing here ? " She asked looking away from him.

" I just came to tell you that I love you too. " He answered.

" You are unbelievable , How can you give such a dare ? " She asked.

" Because I wanted to hear you say it again. " He answered.

Alyssa sighed in disbelief. " Calc..Don't do this to me. Okay ? " She said pleading.

" I don't want it either. But I can't stop thinking about you. " Calcel.

" Calc , What happened was because we were both drunk. It wasn't out love. Please don't talk of it again. " Alyssa said her eyes turning wet.

" I know Alyssa. I know it was mistake , But we love each other. Don't we ? " Calcel asked moving closer to her.

" Calcel , No. " She said shaking her head helplessly in disagreement.

Calcel moved closer and covered the distance between them. " Alyssa , I want you to know that I love you. " He said.

" You shouldn't. " She said immediately.

" I know. It's forbidden. But I ...." He said as he cupped her face. " I can't control myself. " He said in a husky voice.

Alyssa was already releasing tears. " If you don't want me to marry May you can stop me. I will go tell Dad and everyone that it's you I love. " Calcel.

" Don't ve stupid ! " Alyssa backed at him. " Do you think that will change anything ? " She asked.

" Ya. As you as long you love me. I don't care about anything else. " He said

" But I don't. " Alyssa said.

" You don't mean it. Right ? " He asked still looking at her wet eyes.

She kept silent and released tears.." Fine , Say it. That you don't love me. Then I will leave forever. And will never bother you again. " He said.

" Do you mean it ? " Alyssa asked.

" mm.." Calcel nodded.

" Fine. .I will say it. " Alyssa said and swallowed hard. Looking straight into his eyes she said. " Calcel , I don't..." She was still talking when she kept silent again.

Calcel looked at her asking her to continue. " I don't...I don't..." She kept on saying starting to sob.

Seeing this Calcel bent closer to her to kissed her lips. His kiss was gentle and his eyes were closed.
