Bar Scene

A lonely figure walked aimlessly on the banks of the river which runs through their city. Tears cascaded down her cheek as she walked, barefooted with her heels in hand.

How great would it be if happiness was as simple as a love song?

That was the only thing on her mind

***

A young man was nervously fixing his tie in the toilet of a bar. Fidgeting with it, he didn’t notice his friend coming up.

“Why are you still here?” his friend questioned

“Almost done…”

“Are you sure you want to do it this way? It’s so unromantic.”

“It’s romantic because nobody has done it this way before”

“Alright..alright..now come on, let’s go back.”

The two men went downstairs to join the rest of their friends. They were having a fun night out. With everybody on the table slightly tipsy, they decided to play the classic game of Truth or Dare. All sorts of question were thrown across the table and also all sorts of ridiculous dares. The bottle spun and stopped at a short haired girl, who so happened to be that young man’s girlfriend.

“So, Truth or Dare?” the others asked eagerly

The girl was hesitant and looked at her boyfriend for help.

“Truth..truth..” he said

“Alright then..truth it is” she announced to the table.

“ok ok ok! I got one! So how many were there before you two met? This question is valid right?”

“How many what?” she asked back

“Oh come on, stop pretending. How many men were there before you two met?”

“Hey, do you know how many were there?” another friend asked him

“I don’t know..I could’ve sworn she told me she was a virgin” he shrugged and the whole table roared laughing.

“Shut up” she playfully slapped his shoulder and continued “ok ok, 3..there were 3..happy?”

And with the bottle began to spin again. The young man was sitting anxiously thinking why hasn’t the bottle landed on him yet. He looked at his friend on the right and gave a nod. The next thing you know, the bottle stopped pointing at him.

“Woohoo!!! Finally!! Come on! Truth or Dare?”

“Dare” he bravely replied.

“Alright! Propose to her.” The table fell silent as soon as the dare was said.

“Hey..guys, why so quiet all of a sudden? Don’t scare me” she asked the gang when she saw her boyfriend got up and kneeled.

“This is my Dare and also my Truth. From the first moment I saw you I told myself that I have to marry you. Will you marry me?”

Before she could react, another person had came up to the table and stared at the young man and the shifted her gaze to the girl. Slowly she bent down and whispered huskily

“Congratulations..” before crashing her lips onto the girls, leaving the whole table gasping at the sight of the two girls kissing.

The girl pushed the intruder away a few moments later after a bit of a struggle. Standing up right, the intruder merely smirked and walked off.

Everybody was stunned, to say the least especially that young man.
