Gregg wiggles his eyebrows and smiles widely at Chloe. ‘Of course. I think the London dare is the most interesting one?’
‘No way,’ Tate says, pushing upright in the seat. ‘Not going there. Gregg, shut it.’
‘Oh button it, Tate. Chloe asked a reasonable question. It’s only polite we answer it.’
Dillon nudges Tate in the ribs. ‘Quit glaring. So, we were in London two years ago. It was the last day of our European tour so we went out afterwards. Ellen recommended this authentic Chinese restaurant in town. Top class joint. Bit different from our usual haunts, but we thought we’d push the boat out. In all fairness, the food was the best we’d had for a while, especially after being on the road for so long. We had an amazing meal.’ Dillon grins at Tate. ‘Well most of us did.’
‘What happened?’ Chloe asks, leaning forward in her seat.
‘During dinner Gregg mentioned he’d dared Tate to learn a new instrument in a week a few years ago and Tate did it. So we decided, thanks in part to a little too much beer, that we’d dare him to eat something he really didn’t fancy. A century egg.’
Chloe covers her mouth. ‘Oh God. Those are the black eggs, right?’
‘Fucking rotten things,’ Luke continues. ‘It had to be done. So we dared him to eat two or face a forfeit.’
‘Did you eat them?’
Tate makes a face. ‘Of course not. The look of the damn things was enough. There was no way I was going to stick one in my mouth let alone two.’
‘Understatement. He bolted for the bathroom after looking at them.’ Dillon snorts and shakes his head. ‘Waste of an expensive meal.’
‘I’m fairly fucking sure you were quick to follow me in there,’ Tate fires back at Dillon.
‘Of course! I was watching out for you. It’s what mates do.’
Tate snorts as he looks over at Dillon. ‘Is that what you were doing? Cause it sounded like you were throwing up.’
‘This is about you, buddy. Not me,’ Dillon replies as he grins at Tate.
‘So what was the forfeit?’ Chloe asks.
As one, Dillon, Luke, and Gregg point to Tate’s groin and he grins.
Chloe looks at the four men sitting opposite her and then down at Tate’s groin. ‘Hang on one second. Are you saying you wouldn’t eat rotten eggs so you had to get yourself pierced? Is that seriously what you’re telling me?’
They grin and Tate nods. ‘Believe me. It was better than eating the eggs.’
‘But why the two piercings?’
‘Two eggs,’ Tate explains.
‘He cried like a baby when he was getting them done.’
‘I did not cry, Gregg.’
‘There was a tear in your eye.’
‘There were two needles in my dick. It wasn’t entirely comfortable.’
Luke snorts and waves his hand at Tate’s arms. ‘Like all those tats were comfortable. You had no problem with getting the piercings. You were just pissed you lost the dare.’
‘Of course I was.’
Chloe shakes her head as she looks at the four of them. ‘I can’t believe they actually let you four out unsupervised. You need a babysitter. So are you done with these dares now?’ Chloe asks.
Gregg makes a face. ‘I’d love to say yes, but you see Tate here isn’t one for backing away from something. He was the same in school.’
‘Half of the trouble I got into was down to you.’
