"Yeah, sure. That's what the card says." Greyson said.
For an unknown reason, Stefan's heart thrust against his chest. Erica doesn't ask this many questions unless she is planning something. He wishes she would call him and acknowledge him; he is the love of her life. Erica, on the other side, took her phone nonchalantly. She scrolled leisurely through her contacts. The ladies held their breath because Erica was unpredictable. Stefan squeezed the stress ball with everything he had. Erica paused at a name.
The sound of a phone ringing echoed in the room.
"Um, Erica, why are you calling me?" Greyson stuttered.
Was she crazy? He was trying to act low in front of Stefan because he knew Stefan had a thing for her, and now she was calling him. Stefan was going to kill the shit out of him; he could already feel the murderous aura. Greyson cleared his throat and picked up the call.
"Hello?" Greyson said.
"Hey, babe. I just wanted to call you and say you're the love of my life and I love you." Erica said intimidatingly
Greyson took in a shaky breath and hung up. The room fell silent. No one was expecting that. Eyes turned to Stefan, and his angry gaze was on Erica.
"Ok, my turn to spin," Erica said, clapping her hands together as she gained their attention.
"Ok, Avery, your turn."
"Umm.., sure," Avery said as she brushed her hand through her hair.
"Truth or Dare?"
"Um, dare."
"Are you sure?" Erica asked her.
Avery's eyes widened, and she nodded her head. There was still tension lingering in the room, and the last thing she wanted was to add more.
"OK, eat a banana in the sexiest way for ten minutes."
"Whoa!"
"No!" Alex exclaimed.
Avery glared at him. He stared down at her.
"It's just a game, Alex."
"Yeah, right. A game that is making people uncomfortable."
Avery sucked in a deep breath. She brushed her hand in her hair again. He was right, though, but it is just a game, and she was eating a banana.
"Ok, I'm going to give an exception. Since Alex doesn't want Avery darling to eat the banana. Maybe Alex could eat it on her behalf."
"No!"
"Yes! Two shall be one. I'm taking this dare for my wife"
Without hesitation, Alex took the fruit from Erica and consumed it. The last thing he wants is for people to see his wife's feaky side. It was his only.
Avery rolled her eyes at him and spun the bottle.
"You turn, Sam."
Sam cleared his throat and nodded. He was uncomfortable down there and was just grateful he was the last person left.
"I choose truth."
Before Avery could read the card, Alex beat her to that.
"How long are you?"
"What the fuck?" Sam exclaimed.
"C'mon, Sammy, it's just a game. Share." Alex taunted him.
Sam rolled his eyes at him. He knew he was doing that for revenge.
And he refused to answer. He carried Suzzy in his arms and stormed out of the living room. Suzzy shrieked at the sudden moment. Laughter filled the room once again as everyone dispersed.
"Since when, Rica?" Stefan asked, since he was left in the living room with her.
Erica looked at him with a furrowed brow.
"What do you mean?"
"Since when did that jerk become the love of your life?" Stefan growled.
Erica chuckled before saying,
"So? Can't I change who I decide to love next? I have decided not to cry over shitty issues; rather, I move on. If that's bothering you. Then leave. Leave this place and also move on in life"
Stefan combed his hand through his hair. " I should have finished him long ago. I can't believe I didn't end his fucking life when I saw him moving into your house.
Erica gave him a fiery look.
"What do you mean, you saw him moving in. Are you stalking me? Cause nobody knows about Greyson staying with me. Not even Clifford."
"You want to know, you want to know how I knew he had been staying with you. Because I have eyes on you, Erica. I have cameras and people around you."
"PA!,PA!, PA! How dare you? Huh? Do you know the definition of privacy? Do you own a brain, Stefan? What has come over you?"
His words got stuck in his throat. He just gave himself out due to anger. Now she knows. She knows about the cameras.
"How many? How many cameras do you have in my house?" She yelled.
"For-forty cameras. Except the greenhouse"
"Oh my days. Forty fucking cameras in the house, and you're saying except the greenhouse. You have to be kidding me. So you have one in my bedroom?"
