Chapter 184 - Truth Or Dare

The beat suddenly increased the tempo, making everybody wild on the dance floor. Dani was not new to the scene since she was a party girl once in her life. So, she started moving to the beat. She knew that Alex would soon follow her lead.

Although she had mellowed in her ways through the years, she did promise to enjoy this night with Alex. She intended to do so as she danced to the music with him moving along to the beat.

"Come on. I think you can do better than that." She challenged Alex, who was barely moving his feet. But she knew that he was a good dancer. She had seen it several times before.

"Fine." He placed his hand on her hips and started swaying with her.

Then, he was once again lost in her, pulling her body closer as they stared at each other.

What was one upbeat music had become nothing more but a background sound to the beating of their hearts. The crowd that surrounded them was mere noise that they shut out as they were both enveloped in their private world.

Nothing matters but his eyes on hers and his possessive touch protecting her, telling anybody watching that she was his and nobody else could have her. She did not feel that he was branding her. On the other hand, she felt safe and reassured by his action.

When the music changed into a slower beat, she rested her body against his, savoring the feeling of his warmth. She could not stop feeling the firmness of his shoulders as her hands rested on top of them.

"Hey, you two. We are going back to our seats. Do you like something to drink? We are about to order some." Jacky interrupted them as she and Sebastian stood beside them.

"Yeah, sure," Dani answered as the magic of their moment died down. "Shall we also sit down?" She suggested to Alex.

"Ok." Alex nodded and pulled her towards their table.

He wished they did not have to stop, but he felt she needed some rest too. They had been dancing for quite some time, and although they had the stamina for it, it was still a long night ahead of them.

As Alex and Dani sat at their table and waited for the other two to come back with their drinks, they decided to talk about their day. It was something that was becoming a routine with them.

"Here are your drinks." Jacky handed them each a glass of their orders.

"Thanks." Alex and Dani simultaneously said to the other couple as they joined them at their table.

Barely a minute had passed since Jacky and Sebastian came back from the bar when Troy walked over to their table. He did look great in his suit minus the tie.

Dani and Jacky thought to themselves, but neither of them was interested in him. They believed that Troy was a good guy and with a good sense of humor. But they only saw him as a good friend.

"Hey, guys. I hope that you are enjoying yourselves. By the way, I put all your drinks on my tab, so no need to pay for it." Troy returned the card that Alex left in the bar. "It is my birthday, so let me all give you a small treat." He offered as he stood beside their table.

"Would you join us for a few minutes?" Dani offered since it was only fair. They should at least celebrate his birthday since they considered him their friend.

"Sure." He signaled one of the bartenders to serve them another round of whatever they were having. Then, he sat down on the available seat next to Jacky, slightly across from Dani.

"Jacky tells me that you are a doctor. That is such a noble profession." Troy commented, trying to strike up a conversation with the doctor.

As much as possible, he tried to stay clear from Alex after their last encounter. He knew that Alex did not like him because he saw him as a threat.

He did not plan to poke the bear. That was not how he would play this. If he was going to get Dani to his side, he had to be the knight in shining armor and save her from that prince.

"I am a doctor, but not too sure about the noble part. But I think all professions can be noble as long as you have every intention of helping in the betterment of man." Sebastian answered him.

"I think what you do here is great too," Jacky interjected, indicating the bar. "You make a lot of people happy, including us." She jokingly said.

"If you put it that way, maybe I also have a noble profession." Troy acknowledged Jacky's words.

He did not exactly receive a college degree. Going to school was the last thing he enjoyed about his youth. But he had a way with his words and a wit to match that he used to get where he was now. Call it street smart, but it was good enough for him.

"I think you are also doing well with your business." Dani finally commented, wanting to join in the conversation. She could see the place was full of customers, just like the last time they were here.

"Yeah, I agree. This business is very lucrative. If handled well, then it could easily grow." Alex finally gave his take of what he thought of Troy's trade.

"Coming from you, I am honored," Troy said upon hearing Alex's remarked.

"Enough of your nonsense. We are here to have fun. Why don't we make this a bit more exciting?" Jacky interrupted them as she tapped on her chin, thinking of a better way to enjoy the rest of the evening.

"What do you have in mind?" Sebastian asked as he also would like to take advantage of his day off to enjoy it with Jacky.

"Why don't we play truth or dare? Are you guys in?" Jacky said excitedly, believing that it was the most ingenious idea she ever made.
