Recap:-
"Hey, Mia! Are you done? We were playing truth and dare. Do you wanna join us?" Asked Sofia.
"Ya, sure. Why not?" I replied and sat in between Sebastian and Atlas, who was sitting next to 'now turned very red tomato with blushing' Delilah. She has a huge crush on Atlas and Atlas has a crush on her too. Both are idiots to confess their feelings. I can play matchmaking though. Maybe this game can help.
So boys and girls, Let the game begin.
--------------------
Mia's POV:-
"Everyone ready? So let's spin the bottle," announced Sebastian.
He spun the bottle and I secretly wished it to stop on either Atlas or Delilah. And it's stopping!!! It's stopping!!!
Oh No! It stopped. No, not on Altas. Neither Delilah. On me! It's stopped on me. Oh God! Why do you have to do this to me? Okay Fine. There is no point in overthinking. I brought this on myself so now let's face it.
"This will be interesting. So Mia truth or dare?" asked Sebastian with a smirk. Ah, this is hard. If I took a dare then they would tell me to do the most embarrassing things. There is no way I am doing that. And if I choose Truth then they might ask weird questions. Let it be. Truth is sounds better option here.
"Truth," I replied confidently.
"So the truth is it. I will ask," informed Sebastian. He moved forward. He glanced at me and kept looking into my eyes. As if he was making sure I won't lie. Come on ask already. Quit staring. I wanted to say but I let him take his time.
"So Mia, have you ever fallen in love with someone besides your family, if yes then who was it?" Asked Sebastian, waiting for the answer.
Delilah chucked, "Do you have to ask that? Isn't it obvious? She doesn't even 'believe' in love. Let alone 'Fall' in love."
"Let her answer." Sebastian groaned.
"Delilah is right. And to answer your question, No and No one. And I don't think I will. Now spin the bottle." I started without hesitating and that shut him up.
He spun the bottle and it landed on........Me. God, Are you serious? Are you kidding me? Why did I decide to play again? Huh, for Atlas and Delilah. Just for this once Mia. It's for them.
"Truth. I choose truth. Ask." I answered before they could ask.
"Okay. So Mia, Why don't you believe in love? What I meant to ask is... Is it because of something or... rather someone? Did you get heartbroken or something like that?" Asked Sofia.
"Sof! That's rude. You can't ask something personal just like that. We are playing it for fun. Mia, you don't have to answer it." Delilah scolded glaring at Sof. God, Thank you for giving me this little gem.
"Hey, It's okay. I don't mind it. No Sofia. Nothing like that happened. It's just because I think love doesn't exist. I mean, how can I believe something that I haven't experienced myself? What I think is, that love is just a chemical reaction in our brain that makes us addicted to a person, makes us think that we can't live without them and grow dependent on them. It makes us think that we are on Cloud 9. And when the person leaves, we are left depressed. As in your words "heartbroken". I mean think about it yourself. It is scientifically impossible. The heart has just one function, to pump blood. It has nothing to do with feelings. So why drag it in these types of things? It is just what we like to believe. Some people say 'I love you from the bottom of my heart' and blah blah but love has nothing to do with heart, so how can they say it? It's simply illogical. And do we have to find someone to fall for? No right? I am quite good alone and single. Simple." I explained myself. I glanced at their faces. Their jaw was dropped with all the Scientific knowledge I had used.
