you’re kind of scaring me right now. What have you got up your sleeve?”
“Oh you’ll see,” I said, walking off to find Mindy.
Mindy had this thing for games. She was very competitive and could never shy away from a challenge. I knew this would be to my advantage now.
I looked around the hall and spotted her sitting next to my mum having a chat.
“Hi darling,” my mum slurred.
“Hey, Mum, you enjoying the wedding?”
“It’s great. I think they’re about to cut the cake soon, so they can get going. I can imagine they’re both eager to start their married life.” I saw the wink and knew exactly what she meant.
“Eww, Mum, could you not talk about that stuff with me?”
“What’s the matter dear, it’s only the truth? One day you’ll find the guy that gives you that ear-splitting orgasm and you’ll never want to let him go.”
“Mum!” I shouted. “Please shut up now,” I begged.
Within an instant she started laughing, but I was too eager to complete my mission. “Mum, I need to speak with Mindy a few seconds.”
Obviously feeling the effects of the alcohol, she just waved at us. Mindy was still laughing, but I pulled her from her chair and walked a few paces away from the table. “What do you think of David?”
Mindy frowned in my direction. “David? Why do you ask?”
Eager to get to the point, I thought I’d just be direct with her. “He’s cute, right? Don’t you think he’s cute?”
“Angelina, where is this going?” she asked, impatiently.
I took a deep breath and went in for the kill. “I dare you to walk up to David and give him a big smacker on the lips. And I’m not just talking a little peck either. I want to see tongues, Mindy. Tongues!”
“Fucking hell, Angelina. We’re not in school anymore,” she said smiling.
“I know, but I know you like a challenge. Do you want to forfeit the dare?”
She looked stunned—beyond stunned—she actually looked mad. “Don’t you dare ask me that question, Angelina. You know me better than that.”
“So you’ll do it?” I asked excitedly. I know I’m twenty-six, but I can’t help but embrace the child inside of me.
“Oh, you just watch me,” she said, storming off.
I watched from a distance as Mindy edged closer and closer to David. He spotted her soon enough and the look on his face was priceless. He could see her coming, see she was on a mission, but looked confused as hell.
I walked briskly toward the pair of them, wanting to see the outcome of this risky dare I placed on Mindy’s shoulder. I hoped beyond hope that I was doing the right thing.
I started quickly self doubting what I had done, and wondered if I should pull Mindy away to tell her that I forfeit. If the outcome of this was that David thinks he was in for a shot and finds out it was a dare, he would never speak to me again.
Just as I was about to rush towards Mindy, she was there. She pulled a very shocked David to her mouth and gave him that belter of a kiss. All I could do was watch from the sidelines and hope and pray this didn’t end badly.
What started off a bit robotic, within a nanosecond turned into something more passionate. They were kissing and it wasn’t just a little kiss either. Very soon, Mindy had her hands in his hair, gripping tightly as she practically dived into his mouth. I thought she was going to swim in it, the way she was going.
David was just as bad. He pulled her to his body in one swift tug, his hands all over her back, then in her hair.
I stood there, frozen, my mouth agape. I looked across at Julia and Naomi, both staring with the same shocked expression as me. Julia looked across and signalled to them, but I just shrugged my shoulders and smiled. Just when I thought they were about to get it on, there and then, they broke off the kiss. I watched as they looked at each other and laughed. She leaned in, whispered something in
