Salman's POV

"Allie, here you go with your dare"

"Stuff ice cubes in your mouth for a minute"

"God! That's weird" Aliza replied laughing.

            Harry, Anna and Fred ran downstairs and after two minutes returned with a jug of ice cubes. Aliza started stuffing a few ice cubes, maybe around three and she indicated she's done with the dare.

"No Allie, that's not enough!!!"

"You should stuff till we say you to stop"

             Poor girl, she opened her mouth even more wide stuffing more ice cubes and I think that's all she can open, not more than that. One or two ice cubes started falling out.

"Now the timing starts" said Omar looking at his watch.

            Aliza's looking up while her mouth opened, stuffed with ice cubes, holding the face with both her palms. The ice is melting and water started dripping out of her mouth.

Just then Omar screamed, "Yayyy, Allie, you made it."

            Aliza spat the cubes quickly in the wash basin in a corner of the balcony and rinsed her mouth,

"I thought it was easy, but that's so disgusting" she said while wiping her face with a tissue.

"Yeah we saw you drooling" Laughed Edgar

"You all made me do it"  She responded while trying to squeeze sprinkles of  water off her Hijab. 

"Good that the whole thing didn't get wet" I said looking at her.

"Yeah, I can't imagine wearing a wet Hijab." She replied.

"Okay Juliet get ready for your dare" said Omar and gathered all of us to discuss on one. After we are done, Kaym read it out loud,

"Smell the feet of everyone in the balcony"

"Phew, what a dare?!"

"Start dude, start with mine or Olivia's" Aliza said.

"Olivia stretch your leg" Juliet said.

She smelt it slightly without her nose touching the foot.

"Don't cheat Juliet! You can't do that"

"What else should I do then?"

"Get closer and smell"

"Alright, but I don't want my nose touch your dirty feet."

"Ha ha"

She went closer to Olivia's foot, just one or two inches away from it, as Olivia said,

"God bless you" she winked laughing which made us all laugh.

"Idiot" Juliet said annoyed.

She went one by one smelling their feet. She was hilarious. I wanted to tell that to her just to annoy her but I didn't. 

One, because its public and I don't feel like talking to her when everyone's around.

Two, because things weren't good between us. I fear if she hates me and she would hate me more if I annoy her anymore.

When she came to Edgar, he said,

"I didn't wash my legs since months"

"Phew, dirty fellow" 

I was just thinking about how I would ask her about what happened a few minutes ago, in a pleasant way, I didn't realize she was sitting in front of me waiting quietly till I give my feet for her to smell. I was sitting cross-legged. 

"Salman is always dreaming"

"Something fishy"

"Should find out"

"Salman, you are not hiding anything from us!" Aliza warned.

             Only then reality hit me and I was speechless again when I found out all eyes on me.

What's wrong with me?

Why am I getting embarrassed always?

Next time I should be careful when I go to my imaginary world.

All because of Juliet. She changed me to a person whom I never imagined I would be.

"Um... No... I am sorry" I apologized stretching my foot towards Juliet watching her.

            I felt my body tingle when she caught my foot in her cool hands. As she bent down closer to my feet I wanted to lift it up slightly so that my foot will touch her nose just to annoy her, but again, I didn't.

            If it was Aliza and since Allie doesn't take things seriously, I would've slightly hit her nose and I imagine how her reaction would be. She would surely hit me playfully and scold me saying 'idiot' or something, or she would push me back hardly. She's one of a kind and I like that in her. 

            I don't know how Juliet would react and I don't want her to hate me even more. So I left out the idea.

             But, as if though Omar read my mind, he did exactly what I wanted to do. When Juliet leaned closer to Omar's foot, he slightly moved it up and it hit Juliet's nose. Juliet moved back rubbing her nose,

"I hate you Omaaarrrr" All of us laughed which annoyed her even more.

"Shall I massage it for you?" Omar asked winking.

"Don't talk to me idiot"

              She didn't take it serious though and when she told she hates Omar, she didn't mean it. But I am certain that if I had done it to her, she would react in a different way.

She sat back where she was seated before, after she was done with her dare. 

Next to Juliet sat Olivia.

              Edgar read out the dare to her, "Olivia, your dare is... 'Sit on any guys lap for five minutes'... Please don't choose me" he laughed.

"Who would choose you?" She laughed winking.

"Thank God" he replied.

             As Olivia stood from her place, Juliet almost whispered to Aliza "I know whom she would choose" and I heard it.

             She said it in an annoyed tone for some reason or the other. I don't know what jealousy she has with Olivia. They don't get along most of the time.

            Olivia stood and looked around at all of us, but she didn't seem like she's trying to figure out on whose lap she should sit. Her expression showed that she already chose someone since she was wearing a smirk.

            I pray that she doesn't choose me like how she did before when she had to answer the question.

She's really irritating at times.

I don't know why she keeps choosing me always.

           I don't hate her nor do I love her. She's a friend of mine. A good fried, but sometimes she gets into my nerves. Maybe she doesn't realize that.

But I want to know why she annoys me out of all.

What does she see in me?

I didn't get a perfect moment to ask her about it. I ignore her most of the time, hoping that it would stop her irritating me. 

"Olivia, Fred is waiting till you come and sit on his lap"

Kaym said gaining a shot from Fred as he replied,

"No way! He's lying Olivia"

Fred paused and then said,

"Maybe Kaym wants you to sit on his"

"Haha, No please" Kaym responded.

"Olivia, we know on whose lap you are going to sit, so proceed fast" Omar said looking at me smirking.

Why did Omar do that?

Why did he look at me?

Why did he smirk?

Is Olivia going to sit on my lap?

No! Please, God save me.

I just don't want her to do that.

I hope she sits on someone else's lap and not mine. 

Chapter's done :)

Whom would Olivia choose? Any Guess? I think it's obvious. Lol. 

XOXO
