214 The Class Reunion (2/2)
Jia then looked at all of them closely. Brian had large ears,Jess had mole on his forehead,Ed had earrings, Ric was curly - haired...
” Are you ready? ” The organizer asked.
”Yes!”
”Sure? ”
”Very sure! ”
Jia was then tightly blindfolded. Then,the organizer guided her towards the first set. Jia then touched their faces .She then recalled that Brian had large ears, Jess had mole...
However,because of the awkwardness in touching them,her memory suddenly went blank!
The crowd then erupted into a round of laughter!
”Jia,you may proceed to the second set. Please try to recall them. We had been great friends before so there's no reason that you can't make a right guess! ”
Jia sighed and tried to focus this time. She then touched the faces of these second set. No matter how she tried to find the mole or the beard or Brian's large ears,she really couldn't find!The continous laughter of the crowd and their cheering set her mind again into a mess!
”Jia, focus!Take a breath. The next set will be your last chance. ” As the organizer cheered her on,the more the crowd broke into hysterious laughters.
As Jia touched the last set,the thuds of her heart were like the drumming of the cicadas on an eerie night. And as her fear set her thoughts into a turmoil once again,she again failed.
The laughters and the teasing of her classmates were intensified that she was almost tempted to cry.
”Jia,no one can save you now! Please take your pick. ” The organizer made a pitiful sound as he handed her a bowl to pick up a random number.
She gave him back the number and stood trembling inwardly,accepting the fate of the loser. Then, she heard the crowd squealed more madly in thrill and excitement...
Grrrr! Her heart seemed to burst as she felt him approaching. She could now smell his scent.... and dear saint,itseemed familiar!
”Jia, try to put your mind back into someone you really love. If he is going to ask you a song, what will you sing?Just sing one stanza, kiss him afterwards,then your ordeal is
done! ”
”Okay,let's get this done! ”
Jia regretted the moment she decided to come. Ifonly she knew that this would happen, she would have not come.Yet,she was still able to manage a smile though her tears started to fall.
”You're my everything
Forever and the day I need you close to me
You're my everything
You never have to worry,never fear
For I am near... ”
She stopped but the crowd continued it for her before they hissed into another laughter.
”When I kissed your lips, I feel the rolling thunder through my
fingertips...
And all the while my head is in a spin.. ”
She remained smiling as she allowed them to finish the song. Then,the organizer finally guided her hands and placed it in the shoulders of the lot owner.
The screeching and squealing became more deafening.Her heart got crazier...
As she reached out for his face to pull it down for a kiss, a hand was placed, instead,at the back of her head and tilted it backwards. Before she knew it,her lips were sealed into a deep and a hungry kiss!
Startled,she pushed him hardly backwards as she stripped off her blindfold. The moment she saw him,her eyes widened and she stood frozen!
Then,Anthon smiled and drew her back towards him in a warm embrace.
Little did she know, as Jay and Giselle were the program coordinators,there was no way she could win!
