Chapter 14 just to have fun
Paul patted her hand and tried to comfort her, âKayla, you know Mr. Harris. He didnât mean it.â
Kayla was unwilling to let Kevin off easily. Although she used to be a top prosti tute in the Nightshade, she didnât want to hear the word âsellingâ again now that she was with Paul.
She couldnât argue with Kevin, but she could deal with his
woman.
âLetâs forget about it. Weâre here just to have fun.â
âBut sitting here is boring. Why donât we play a game?â
Hearing the word âgame,â everyone became interested
âWhat game?â
Kayla took out a few decks of cards and placed them on the table.
âLetâs play a team card game. The losing team must take off one piece of clothing.â
âInteresting.â
Kevin was thrilled with the idea, and he agreed right away. And the other men would not resist the temptation either.
Concerned that James might not be used to such activities, Paul turned his head and glanced at him.
âJames, they often play like this. If you donât want toâ¦â
Before he could finish his sentence, James took a card from Kayla. âHow do we play?â
Paul was shocked. His cousin had always avoided such places, yet today, just because Kevin invited him to meet a woman who looked like Ms. Moore, he had agreed to come and was now patiently playing games with them. That was odd.
Kayla didnât expect James, who was rumored to be uninterested in women, to be so easygoing and willing to play with them. She immediately smiled.
âItâs very simple. Let me explain the rules to you.â
After explaining the rules, Kayla gathered everyone to draw lots and form teams.
Amelia sat stiffly on the sofa, not sure what to do.
Just as she was hesitating about how to refuse, Kayla seemed to read her mind and spoke up first.
âEveryone has to participate. Ms. Garcia, are you not going to turn me down in front of everybody, right?â
All eyes turned to Amelia, making her feel uncomfortable as if not playing would ruin the fun for everybody.
She could not afford to offend anyone here, so she could only force herself to participate.
Seeing that Amelia was willing to comply, Kayla didnât say any more words.
