The Traps of Black Swan

Aarvi wasn't expecting such an intense reaction from Dax and Shawn and turned to Aaron who was still waiting for her to complete.

Aarvi slowly pointed to Aaron and revealed playfully with a cheeky grin, "He said he stole my first kiss in the school without my knowledge."

Aaron: "..." He felt like he should have expected it. 'Damn'

Shawn and Dax looked at each other and burst into laughter, their friend loves to create mystery. They could already guess Aaron made up a lie as she doesn't remember anything and they were happy to know Aarvi's first kiss wasn't Vance Hays but the person she liked.

Tia who was seeing the new side of Handsome doctor continued to look at him in awe, of course, the little fear of his stoic face never would let her get close to him.

The next turn was Aaron's. Aaron never played such games, he got to know the rules of it when Shawn had explained to them so he was careful not to disturb the tower. Anyhow he removed the block effortlessly than the two girls.

He turned the cube and was speechless. Aarvi peeked at it and burst into laughter as she told others, "Text your mum that you're pregnant."

Shawn quickly added, "You can text big dad or mom." He meant Connor or Megan.

Dax and Shawn low fived while Aaron couldn't believe he was playing such a stupid game. He wanted to leave but his eyes landed on Aarvi who was happily waiting for him to choose either playing the game or three shots.

He knows she wanted him to play without being a spoilsport. He decided to accept the round for Aarvi and pulled his mobile out. All anticipated which contact he will choose and glued their eyes on his mobile screen.

Aaron's finger loomed over the contact named 'Dad' but he didn't choose it. He didn't want to give strokes to his father in the early night. He chose Megan as she is a more outgoing person. 

He typed in extreme hesitation, [I am pregnant.] 

He wanted his mobile to lose the network or don't work because he didn't want to click on send but a hand sneakily clicked on send and Shawn squealed finally believing his brother was playing with him.

Tia was giggling while Aarvi was teasing Aaron asking, "How many months?"

Soon Aarvi's mobile rang with a contact name 'Aunt Megan'.

Shawn was quick to snatch it away and turned on the speaker. Megan must have felt the noise and difference so she proudly said, "GiggleMug, you have worked hard, well done."

Aaron: "..."

The rest burst into laughter hearing Megan teasing Aaron completely aware they were having fun together.

After the first round, Aarvi let Aaron go without forcing him to play what he doesn't like. She was asking him to rest in the guestroom and Shawn quickly added, "Bro, only two guest rooms are here, Tia and Little Heart in one and I am with you."

Aaron glanced at Aarvi, they were in Dax's villa so he unwillingly nodded at Shawn and climbed the stairs.

Shawn and Dax after glancing at completely cool Aarvi: "..."

They expected Aaron to take Aarvi back to the Avron mansion or ask for a 'couple' room.

Shawn actually teased Aaron. He was thinking to let the couple be in one room and he could share the room with Dax but they were disappointed thinking the couple is too slow as a snail.

Shrugging it off, Shawn played next and wailed to Aarvi after reading his dare, "Little Heart, this is so unfair." He handed her the block to read and Aarvi grinned, "Smell black pepper until you sneeze."

Dax excitedly bought the pepper and Shawn sniffed a few times and started sneezing, it worsened due to chili flakes on pizza, he ended up with tears leaving the three entertained.

Dax facepalmed on his turn, "Do a staring contest with a player next to you."

He turned to Shawn to choose him but the latter was still sneezing so he ended up with Tia. Controlling his sneezing, Shawn and Aarvi grabbed their drinks and watched Dax and Tia intently.

It didn't take long to turn Tia's face pink while Dax had a smirk on his face. When Aarvi thought it was going intense looking at the smirk fading away from Dax's face...

"Achoo…" Shawn sneezed loud enough to distract Tia who blinked turning to Shawn.

She didn't notice the change of expression of Dax and held the floor cushion to chase after Shawn, hitting, screaming, and chiding him.

As the game progressed, Tia had to give up and drink due to dirty dares and truth she got. After cutting the cake, their game continued.

Bad luck was in her day, Tia got a dare of, "Play left-handed again."

She was already tipsy and her heft hand disturbed the tower. Aarvi tried to stop her but Tia followed the rules and drank ten shots back to back without being a killjoy. 

"Dum Dum, she can't handle more. Take her to the room." Dax said seeing Tia cupping her face and giggling to herself.

Aarvi chuckled and stood up with Shawn to take Tia to the guest room but Tia snapped at Dax, "You are the one who can't handle it."

Tia's raised and tough girl voice surprised Shawn and Aarvi while Dax's brow raised in the provocation, "Really?"

Drunk Tia slapped her hand on the floor and yelled at Dax, "Yes, you..." but she cried shaking her hand, "Sister Aarvi, it hurts."

The trio: "..."

Aarvi moved next to Tia and rubbed her hand, "Here, here, now it's alright. It won't hurt anymore."

Tia hummed sobbing but her eye landed on Dax's evil smirk and sharp gaze, She pointed her finger at Dax and hurt Aarvi's ear yelling loudly, "Stop scaring me. I am not a little school girl."

Shawn suggested near Aarvi's ears, "Little Heart, let's flee."

Aarvi might have really done that but she felt responsible for Tia so she didn't leave and looked at the two glaring at each other. "I didn't expect Tia to be rowdy after getting drunk." She murmured to Shawn.

Tia is boisterous but a little frightful if she has to face high society people. Why she feared the rich was unknown to them, they never asked as it is her private matter and they weren't close enough to speak about it.

Dax knew their friends well, sending a warning glance at the two, he looked back at Tia who was standing in front of him in akimbo with a grumpy face.

He slowly stood up and Tia who was looking down had to raise her head to face Dax. She disliked their change in position. 

Her hand reached Dax's shoulders and tried to push him back down, "Sit... Down…." She used all her strength to pull him down but Dax was like an unmoving iron man, she failed to even move him an inch.

"Little girl, go to the room and sleep silently." He shrugged her away, almost tripping her.

"Dax…" Aarvi reminded him Tia is drunk.

She didn't feel it was fun anymore and Dax was losing his cool. So she held Tia by the shoulder and turned her to take her upstairs.

Anyway, Tia went out of Aarvi's hold and again stood in front of Dax and glared at him fiercely.

Looking at her in the state of befuddling, the trio wasn't expecting her to scrape the old wounds of Dax.
