Today we went shopping. Anisha was super excited. She wanted to look her best so that she could catch Mike's attention. (Her 25th crush... No... was it 27? Whatever... Number is not important) She is pretty serious about him and I really did not want to break her heart by showing lack of interest.
Anisha is one of those crazy romantic types... She would talk to her boyfriend for hours. She would love when he would shower her with gifts and stuff. Bonnie on the other is passionate only about one thing. Science. She would lock herself in her room and read books about science. She could go on for ages forgetting even about meals and sleep.
I am kind of neutral. I don't know. I haven't felt so strongly for anyone till date. I hope I will be able to spend some time with Sameer. Then maybe I would feel the same way as Anisha.
Even I got myself a purple and black one piece. It's really pretty. I am now really excited for Saturday's party.

Bonnie, Anisha and I arrived at the destination. Soon Anisha spotted Mike and went off towards him. Bonnie had promised to help her in her Biology assignment if she managed to kiss Mike tonight. Anisha was fully determined. We met some of our classmates and joined them inside the hall. I could see many new faces. Tables were stocked up with booze as well as soft drinks. I got a small coke for myself and we sat at a round table
A group of four guys and two girls were sitting nearby. They were playing spin the bottle. I watched them play out of the corner of my eye. I could see everyone except one guy. He was sitting with his back to me. I couldn't see his face. One of the guys's spun the bottle. It stopped at the girl. 'Dare' she shouted immediately.
'You have to give a lap dance to your boyfriend', said her friend guffawing.
'How cheap', I thought and turned towards my friends to chat.
After some time I glanced at their table again.
The bottle stopped at the man who was sitting with his back to me. Everyone cheered. 'Dare' he said.
'Okay... You have to give French kiss to a girl who is sitting right behind you. The one with a purple dress', said his friend with a wicked grin at me.
Yes! He was pointing at me.
I turned away. What the hell? My heartbeats increased. I should run right now. But I couldn't move. I heard the scratching of the chair as he got up. He walked towards our table.
'Excuse me' he said.
'Just go away. Leave right now. I won't tolerate this nonsense' I said.
'It's a dare. I have to do it', he said.
He grabbed my arm. I stood up and faced him.
'What the hell? You can't...' my voice trailed off as I set my eyes upon him. He was indeed very handsome.
He was almost 6 feet tall and incredibly toned and muscular and looked to be in his early thirties. His hair was slightly messy in a sexy way. His features were sharp and he sported sexy stubble. He was the most gorgeous man I had ever laid my eyes on.
He flashed a charming smile at me and suddenly I snapped back out of my reverie. I was breathing heavily. He leaned in closer and pressed his lips on my cheek. I inhaled his aftershave. 'Don't worry... I am not going to give you a real French kiss. But we'll have to act. Close your eyes. Relax.' he whispered softly.
I didn't know why but I obeyed him. His lips touched just around the corner of my mouth. He lingered for a few minutes and then broke off.
'Hey you didn't give her a French kiss', said his friend.
'I did. You didn't pay attention. And why would I waste a chance of French kissing such a beautiful girl?' he asked looking at me.
I flushed and hated myself for doing that because even he noticed it. He flashed a mischievous smile at me.
'Okay... Let's go back then' said his friend.
'I'll see you around' he said to me and followed his friend.
Bonnie turned to me. 'What was that?'
'What?' I asked.
'You let a total stranger kiss you... He was gorgeous though!' said Bonnie.
'Hell I don't know what happened. My god! How can I be so foolish?' I said.
'Relax. It's fine... Forget about it. I was joking', said Bonnie.
