"So?" Winnie glared at her friend, who was sitting clueless about what happened to this girl, who was glaring at him since he, Riley, and Shirley reached Stacy's. Riley and Shirley were just wandering around the beach to have some fun.

"So?" Tyler was confused.

"One of my best friends met his sweetheart and didn't care to tell me?" Winnie raised one eyebrow. Tyler's eyes went wide in shock.

"How do you know?"

"That doesn't matter" Winnie scoffed.

"Fine. I was going to tell you."

"Okay.  I believe you."

"Thanks, dear," Tyler said with a relaxed smile.

"Not that easy. You have to give us a yacht party"

"What??"

"What what? Didn't you hear me? That's your punishment," Winnie said, shrugging her one shoulder.

"Fine" Tyler muttered under his breath. Perks of having best friends who would act like best enemies.

Larra and Ron came back by afternoon to Stacy's, where their friends were waiting for them. As she said before, Larra flaunts her tattoos before her cousins, who were surprised to see her inked skin.

"Guys, let's play a game," Winnie said, shaking her phone.

"What game?"

"It's a compatibility test. Since we don't have any couples here, can we do it with you cousins?" Winnie asked the trio expectedly. They looked at each other and nodded.

"Aahh. I am so excited" Winnie squealed.

"Is there anything in this world you are not excited about?" Ron stuck out his tongue, teasing.

"Yes. Your dick!" Winnie deadpanned him and others burst into laughter.

"It's because you are not into Ds. Otherwise, you would have definitely-"

"Okay. Enough. Can we just not talk about your, you know?" Tyler felt embarrassed, not wanting to discuss his friend's D in front of the girl he liked. Ron shrugged nonchalantly and smacked Winnie's head.

"Fuck off you idiot. Let me ask them questions " Winnie sat far from Ron and checked her phone.

"First question, the most caring one?"

"Shirley " Riley and Larra said immediately.

"The one who doesn't stop saying sorry for a single mistake?"

"Shirley," both again said in unison.

"Fast sleeper?"

"Shirley"

"Why is everything about me?" Shirley asked surprised.

"Most committed one?"

"Uh, Shirley and Riley" Larra said thoughtfully.

"Excuse me?" Riley asked offended.

"Oh come on. You act tough, but inside, you are nothing," Larra said, chuckling.

"Like?" Tyler seemed curious.

"Like she acts like all carefree and wild, but inside, she is that most loyal woman with ethics and morals. You know, once she is committed to anyone, then it's final; she will love them with all her rights," Larra explained to Tyler, knowing why he was curious. Tyler sat with a proud smile.

"Next one. The first one who lost her V-card?" Winnie grinned reading the question. Shirley slowly raised her hand earning a gasp around the table while Riley and Larra laughed thinking about the 'cute' boy she lost her virginity.

"No way. I thought it must be Larra." Winnie said surprised.

"That's rude," Larra said, offended.

"Oh. Larra is the last one. She was the girl 'who would lose her V-card to only that man' type," Riley said playfully, only to regret the next second. Shirley glared at her deadly. Riley gave her an apologetic look.

Oops.

"Really? Then you found him?" Tyler asked grinning. Everyone around the table looked at her eagerly making her nervous. Riley and Shirley looked at each other feeling her inner turmoil.

"No. I found that there is no man like that." She brilliantly covered up the truth with a smug reply. Riley and Shirley sighed deeply while others laughed with her.

"That's Larra" Winnie high-fived with her.

"Most expensive one?"

"Shirley"

"Okay. Next one. Most sensitive one?"

"Riley" Larra and Shirley said in unison. Riley nodded with a proud smile.

"The one who gets jealous easily?"

"Riley" again Larra and Shirley said in unison. Ron stole a glance with Tyler, a playful glint on his face.

"Best cook?"

"Me," Shirley said proudly.

"Okay. They both can cook well. But Riley is the most versatile cook I have ever seen in my life. You just give her tomato and cheese, she will give you a pizza. While Shirley is a perfectionist. She can cook like a pro." Larra explained.

"And she hates cooking," Riley pointed to Larra.

"Next, most brilliant one?"

"Riley" Shirley and Larra said in unison.

"What? No," Riley tried to act offended, but her cousins rolled their eyes.

"Most unpredictable one?"

"Larra" Riley and Shirley said in unison.

"Yeah. Maybe," Larra said with a sheepish smile.

"Not maybe, but definitely. She can write for two days without closing her eyes even once, and she can sleep for two days without opening her eyes," Shirley said.

"Woah. I didn't know that you were this crazy" Ron said with an impressed face.

"Like I said before, a match made in hell. Ron is just like that" Tyler patted his shoulder. Ron glared at him and looked at Larra.

Wait. Did she just blush??

For a split second,, Ron thought that she was blushing. Her cheeks became warm for a few seconds and she composed herself. But it wasn't only Ron who saw that, but Riley too. For a blink of an eye, she saw that flushed face, she would have missed that if she was looking at someone else. But she wasn't sure about that since she was seeing Larra flustered after so many years.

Did she? What the fuck!

"Okay. Next one, best singer?"

"Larra" Riley and Shirley said.

"Riley" Larra said.

"What the fuck?" Riley asked offended.

"What? I heard you singing" Larra said in a duh tone.

"So, you both can sing" Winnie nodded impressed.

"It's a tie" Tyler said playfully earning a chuckle from everyone.

"Best dancer?"

"Larra" Riley and Shirley said in unison.

"Most organised one?"

"Shirley" Riley and Larra said. Shirley looked at them puzzled.

"She is lazy but she is organised" Larra said with finality, Riley nodded agreeing.

"Most reserved?"

"We both" Larra said pointing towards she and Riley. Everyone looked at her confused.

"What? We are only wild when we go on trips. Otherwise we are just hidden for the world" Larra stated.

"Most friendly?"

"Shirley" Larra and Riley said together.

"Most determined?"

"Both of them. I am just living my life because I have to live" Larra said with least interest. Ron and Tyler gasped hearing her. Everyone around the table looked at them, confused.

"From where are guys getting this line? Ron says the same quote whenever he becomes bored" Tyler said, still shocked, and making everyone shocked.

Damn! Why is this girl exactly like me?

Shirley grabbed Riley's hand under the table and squeezed, passing the message. While Larra was also taken aback by the confession of Tyler. And everyone around the table was mentally curious to know how it would end.

"Most overthinking one?"

"Uhh, Jenner," Larra said with a groan.

"Riley" Shirley also agreed.

"The one whom we can easily fool?"

"Shirl" Larra and Riley giggled.

"It's because I am an innocent soul," Shirley said, offended.

"Yeah. The most innocent one who lost her V-card at fifteen" Riley said with a duh tone, deadpanning Shirley.

"Guys, can we play something else? It feels like you are interviewing us," Larra said, yawning.

"True" Riley also agreed.

"Okay. Then we can play truth or dare," Winnie said excitedly; Tyler and Ron groaned, irritated, showing they were fed up with that game.

"Okay," Shirley agreed.

"Okay, the rules are, once the bottle stops at someone, we can ask them a question, and they should answer only the truth. If they can't, they have to go for a dare"

"I am in," Riley said excitedly.

"Okay. I will spin the bottle first," Riley said, showing the empty beer bottle. And the bottle stopped at Shirley.

"Okay, I will ask," Tyler said excitedly. Shirley nodded yes.

"To whom did you lose your V-card?" Once they heard the question, Larra and Riley started laughing harder, earning a deathly glare from Shirley.

"It's a joker," Riley said, hiccupping in between laughter.

"His name is Jake, my schoolmate. " Shirley said with a straight face. Hearing his name, Larra and Riley again laughed harder.

Then Shirley spun the bottle. And the bottle stopped at Ron.

"Come on, ask me" he stood in a defensive position like he was getting ready for a wrestling competition.

"The person you value the most in this world?" Riley asked.

"Me!" He said with a proud smile.

"Typical Ronald!" Tyler rolled his eyes. Then it was Ron's turn to spin the bottle and the bottle stopped at Larra.

"I will ask," Ron said excitedly. Larra knew he was up to something, seeing his smirk.

"At what age did you lose your V-card?" Larra rolled her eyes, she expected more from him.

"Eighteen," she said nonchalantly.

"What?" Ron, Tyler, and Winnie asked in unison, shock evident on their face.

"What? Do you guys think that I lost it in kindergarten?" Larra asked sarcastically.

"I expected more from you McLaren," Ron said, disappointed.

"Me too," Larra said and spun the bottle. And it stopped at Riley.

"I will ask," Larra said with an evil smirk. Riley knew that something evil was coming.

"Who stole your heart first?" Larra said smirking. Tyler sharpened his ear to know the answer, whoever it was.

"Okay. Dare," Riley said, sending daggers to her cousin. Larra smiled victoriously.

"Kiss Tyler," Larra said in a challenging tone.

"What?" Tyler and Riley asked in unison. Riley looked at her cousin with a betrayed face. Isn't it too much for a dare?

"Now, it's interesting," Winnie said and high-fived with Larra.

"I can't do it, "Riley said with a straight face, hardly trying to control her blush.

"Then you will get a punishment" Larra deadpanned.

"Uhh" Riley stood up from her seat and walked towards Tyler, who visibly gulped in his seat. Riley leaned towards him and kissed his forehead.

"Hey.. that's cheating," Larra said, offended.

"You didn't say where" Riley smirked victoriously and sat back in her position. Larra huffed in defeat. Next, Riley spun the bottle, and it stopped at Ron.

"I will ask," Winnie said. Ron gave her a narrowed look, suspiciously.

"The most embarrassing moment in your life". Tyler started laughing immediately, and Ron groaned, irritated. Winnie was talking about the first day of their university, he fainted seeing the blood. Now he is a neurosurgeon!

"Okay. Dare"

"Dance to the song I play now," Winnie said with a crooked smile. Ron stood up from his seat hearing the easy task.

"Uh uh, I am not finished. With one of the three cousins," Winnie smiled sweetly and played 'Seven by JK'. Ron's eyes widened in shock and he stood confused. Whom will he choose?

He walked towards Larra and extended his hand, his friends 'ooh' ed behind. Isn't he being too obvious?

"Sorry, Ms.Editor. I don't wanna get murdered by Rayan or Tyler." Larra placed her hand in his, giggling; he pulled her up to the center. Riley turned a tomato and peeked at Tyler, who was already looking at her with a proud smirk. Winnie started the song and both danced for different choreography.

"Don't you dare to play the explicit version, Winona," Ron blackmailed her in between, and she only grinned in response.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday..
Every hour, every month, every second..
You know night after night..
I will be fucking you seven days a week..

"Oops" Winnie fanned her face smugly.

"Winona!" Ron yelled in between dancing; others laughed and cheered for the dancing pair. Larra gestured for him to follow official steps from the video and both danced in sync to the rest of the song, providing a free show to the others.

Riley and Shirley looked at each other, surprised; Larra was laughing, like she was really laughing in his arms, like she used to laugh years back, with no pain inside. They never saw her like this carefree in these years. She acts like all wild and carefree, but they know what she kept hidden inside. But, at this moment, when dancing and cheering with Ron, she looks genuinely happy. Both cousins don't know when their eyes teared up. They have been waiting for moments like these.

To end her misery!
