boulic raised eyebrow and said resignedly, "Truth Go easy on me."

Leonard glanced over at Bella. "I'll let Bella ask. I'm afraid I'll get punched if Lask"

Bulla was about to decline, but a seized the moment and urged her, "Go on, Bella. Ask away! Lying in a game brings bad luck. He has to answer honestly

Bella hesitated for a moment before turning to Dominic, "Have you ever truly loved someone?

She couldn't think of anything else to ask, but this was something she had always wondered. If he had experienced a deep, unforgettable love like she had, maybe hewouldn't mockher feelings aminote, Domine looked at her intently and answered seriously, "Yes,"

Bella suntled, and it was Dominic's tum to spin the bottle.

He skillfully spun the bottle, and unsurprisingly, it pointed sight at Bella Bella felt he was trying to get back at her, so she chose the sater option. "Truth. Go ahead and ask"

He seemed to have already planned his question and immediately asked, "Do you still like the person you once liked?"

Bella's heart skipped a beat. She had only ever liked one person, and he lose it. He was asking if she still liked him.

For a moment, she didn't know how to respond. If she told the truth, she feared becoming a joke, but if she lied, she'd break the rules of the game. She opened a bottle of beer and downed it in one go. "I'm not answering."

That was the game's penalty. If they refused to answer or couldn't complete a dare, they had to drink

Dominic's expression darkened, but he said nothing

When Hella spun the bottle, it landed o

lonceline barbecue.

Celine chose dane, but Bellawasn't great at coming up with pranks. After thinking for a while, she finally asked Celine to grill some barbe Celine was both amused and exasperated. "This is the first time I've seen someone give such an easy dare in this g game!!!

After completing her dare, Celine kept her eyes on tan while spinning the bottle, but it ended up pointing at La

Lia, who had just bren enjoying the show, suddenly stopped smiling. "I don't want to grill barbecue like you did. I choose truth."

Celine smirked. "How many boyfriends have you had? And I mean the kind you've slept with."

Everyone was in it for fun, so i didn't hesitate Smiling, she said, "None at all, I did have two boyfriends, but just when I held hands with one, Leonard messed it allup. Such bad luck!"

Leonard quickly waved his hands. "We agreed not to hold grudges! That's already in the past Let's continue with the game.

When it was Lia's tum to spin, it landed on Bella.

Since Lia was het close friend, Bella wasn't worried and chose dare. She new If she picked truth, Lia would definitely ask something outrageous

La rubbed her hands together, excited to prank her friend, but Domine suddenly cut in, "buy that chance from you. Name your price."

Everyone was stunned. Lia looked between Bella and Dominic before finally giving In "She's my best friend, so it's going to cost you."

Dominic pulled out his plone, opened Venmo, and placed it in front of Lia. Put in whatever amount you want."

Bella frantically kicked Lia under the table. Yet Lis held back the pain and typed in a string of numbers with tears in her eyes. "Thank you, good sir!" Bella admitted defeat "Alright, what do you want me to do?"

Boli smiled family, stood up, and said, "Il save it for later I'll let you know when I decide. Game's over for me."

Bella telt a sinking feeling. It seemed like he had just paid for a chance to prank her later, and she had a feeling it wasn't going to be minor.
