Fun and Games
"Alright, who's gonna start?" Jackie asked the group.
"Hell, I will." Teddy jumped up.
"Teddy, watch your language!" Exclaimed Gwen
"Stop being such a goody-two-shoes!" Teddy shouted back. Gwen seemed somewhat hurt at this comment.
"Teddy- who are you going to pick?" Chris spoke up to move things along.
"Um....Gracie. Truth or dare?" Teddy smirked.
"Dare." She replied without hesitation.
"You've just signed a death wish asking Teddy for a dare!" Vern shouted, seeming worried.
"Shut up, Vern!" Teddy replied, "Gracie, I dare you to kiss...Jackie!!"
"Excuse me?!" Gracie yelled
"Finally a lesbian session- and you're related!! Totally hot" Gracie and Jackie looked disgusted.
"You're a sick man, Teddy" Chris remarked
"How twisted can you get?!" Jackie asked in a revolted tone.
Gracie got up and made her way across the tree house to the hammock Jackie and Gordie were sitting in; and, as all eyes were on her in shock, she kissed Jackie on the cheek.
"You never said where or how long the implied kiss had to be" Gracie said as she smirked and everyone else started to crack up at the seriously dismayed Teddy.
"I'm gonna remember this!" Teddy exclaimed as he took a mental note.
"And I'm gonna remember to not ask for any more dares from you again" Gracie smiled. "Alright, who should I pick? Hmmm...Gwen. Truth or Dare?"
"Umm...truth" Gwen replied, looking a little nervous.
"Surprise, surprise" Teddy replied receiving an elbow in the stomach from Sophie "Ouch, hey watch it!"
"Watch what you say about my best friend then" she grinned at Teddy.
"Whatever you say darling" Teddy stated angelically.
"Ah...how cute," Gracie responded, "Gwen..how far have you and Vern gotten?"
"Good question" Chris remarked as Vern and Gwen turned the darkest shade of red any of them had ever seen.
Gwen seemed really nervous, you could tell she didn't really like being the center of attention. "Well, we've kissed.."
"Come on, details, details!" the group chanted.
"What do you mean?" Gwen responded
"Where has Vern kissed you?" Gracie prodded
"Well, in the diner..." Gwen answered as the whole group cracked up at Gwen's innocence and naivety.
"You two are hopeless, six months of dating and all you've done is kissed the girl Vern?!" Teddy exclaimed.
"Shut the hell up Teddy!" Vern yelled back, obviously distraught at the comments. His sternness surprised the whole group.
"It was just a joke...Jesus" Teddy responded
"Hey guys, why don't we do something else" Chris suggested after a few moments of awkward silence.
"What time do you all have to be home?" Gordie asked.
"11:00" replied Sophie. Sophie benefited from very liberal parents who were usually out at late dinner parties or cruises. She was an only child and was very responsible due to this type of upbringing. But tonight her parents were actually home and had set a curfew for the first time in ages. She assumed it was because they found out that her boyfriend was Teddy Duchamp, something they really weren't too happy about but really had no control over.
"It doesn't matter" Teddy responded.
"10:00" answered Gwen. Her mother was very overbearing. Gwen had always been raised to have perfect manners and "Cleanliness is Godliness" had always been her mother's motto in the household. Everyone outside of the family knew that Gwen's father's frequent "business trips" involved much more pleasure than he let on to his wife. Denial was something Gwen's mother was extremely accustomed to, and Gwen never even had an idea that something was wrong.
"10 o'clock sharp" Jackie replied as her and Gracie shared an inside joke.
"Vern?" Gordie asked noticing that Vern was zoning out again.
"Oh- um 10:30" Vern answered.
"That gives us, what...two hours." Gordie thought out loud, not waiting for Chris to answer. Everyone seemed pretty stumped for ideas.
"Hey- isn't there a lake somewhere around here? I remember seeing it on the map when I first looked up the town" Gracie asked
"Yeah- about five minutes walk" Jackie answered.
"Well- let's go swimming!" Gracie suggested.
"Yeah," everyone seemed pretty pumped, except Gwen. "Come on guys, you know how dirty that water is" she whined.
"Come on Gwen- live a little!" Sophie encouraged "It'll be a lot of fun!"
"But what will we swim in?" Gwen asked nervously.
"Our underwear" Gracie said simply as Gwen moaned.
"Fine- I'll go." Gwen said as she gave in.
"Alright- let's go!" Teddy was more and more excited "Our first swim of the summer- with girls!!" Everyone just laughed at his entertaining enthusiasm.
On the walk down to the lake, Chris and Gracie walked together again. Gracie noticed that Chris seemed a little uneasy.
"What's wrong?" She asked, concerned.
"Nothing ," he smiled trying to cover up his emotions, without success.
"Liar," Gracie responded with a grin, "come on, tell me"
"The truth?" Chris glanced at her.
"Yes, the truth would be nice" she joked but maintained her interest.
"Well, its the cobras" Chris exclaimed.
"What do you mean?" Gracie seemed confused
"It makes me a little nervous knowing that they're probably gonna be after you and Jackie when Ace is done recuperating" Chris confided.
"So...you're worried about me?" Gracie grinned and Chris couldn't help but smile back at her.
"Well, not really," Chris teased, glancing at Gracie's hurt expression, "you see, with Ace mad at you, he'll probably send his pack of wolves on Teddy or something and then my group will be rid of our entertainment."
"Shut up," Gracie replied when she figured Chris was just joking, "but, would they really do something to Jackie or me?" Gracie asked, a little concerned.
Chris, noticing her fearful tone, tried to make the situation seem less grave than it really was, "I wouldn't worry about it. Ace will most likely forget about it by tomorrow morning" Chris tried to comfort her but he wasn't a very good liar and Gracie saw right through it.
"Yeah, right" Gracie responded. "Well, I'm not gonna let him dictate my life. If he has a problem with me, he's welcome to come and get his balls kicked again."
"Remind me to never get on your bad side" Chris replied
"Never get on my bad side" Gracie replied with a half smile as the group reached the lake. Everyone seemed quite nervous to shed their clothes so Gordie set some ground rules.
"Okay, how about guys get in first, turn around and then the girls can take of their clothes and get in?" He suggested and everyone seemed to agree. In a few minutes, everyone was in the lake, splashing around and having a good time. Teddy and Vern thought it would be a good idea to play chicken with their girlfriends. After three rounds, surprisingly, Vern and Gwen were the champions, something Teddy wasn't too happy about.
About an hour went by and things were starting to get a little couple- oriented, even Vern and Gwen started to kiss a little! This left Chris and Gracie to entertain each other, again. They decided to ask each other random questions for fun.
"Who's your favorite super hero?" Chris asked.
"Definitely Batman," Gracie responded
"Batman- are you kidding?!" Chris seemed flabbergasted
"What's wrong with Batman?"
"He doesn't have any super powers or anything" Chris answered matter-of- factly
"No, but he's mysterious, dark , enigmatic; therefore making him extremely sexy" Gracie answered, getting closer and closer to Chris.
"Oh, so it's all about the sex" Chris teased.
"Most of the time..next question- my turn. Umm- chocolate or vanilla"
"Definitely vanilla...favorite movie?"
"Gone with the Wind, hands down." Gracie answered
"Can you say boring?" Chris joked as Gracie rolled her eyes.
"Well- what's your favorite movie?" She questioned.
"Dr. No, hands down" Chris answered
"A James Bond film? Can you say boring?" Gracie commented obviously mocking Chris.
"What's wrong with James Bond?" Chris asked defensively
"Well, for starters, he just goes around killing the "bad guy". Nothing is ever that simple, I mean good and evil, right and wrong, its nonsense. Second, he feels like he just can get any woman he wants without even trying and you know he doesn't care at all about her feelings.." Gracie's rampant outburst allowed Chris to be even more attracted to her than before.
"What can I say, I can relate to the guy on many levels" Chris jokingly stated.
"Oh, you can, can you?" Gracie replied as she slyly inched closer and closer. When she was close enough, she used all of her body weight to dunk the unsuspecting Chris. She was successful to say the least. But Chris was never one to back down from any contest and returned the favor joyfully.
This "contest" went on for a good five to ten minutes when both became exhausted and closer in proximity than ever. The convenience of having Gracie's lips so close to his own was too tempting for Chris. He was caught in her eyes as he placed his hand on her cheek and leaned in...
"Hey guys! Chris, Gracie, its time to go!!" Gordie called out to his friends. Chris and Gracie quickly pulled apart, both quite disappointed at the interruption. "It's 9:45- you have to be home in 15 minutes Gracie!!" Gordie yelled out again.
"Okay, coming!!" Chris yelled back. He and Gracie smiled at each other as they began to walk out of the lake. When they reached the shore, everyone else was dressed and ready to go.
"How long have you guys been out of the water?" Gracie asked as she started getting dressed.
"About half an hour" Jackie replied, "Vern, Gwen, Teddy and Sophie already left."
"Why didn't you guys call us earlier?" Chris asked
"Oh- thought we could use the time alone, buddy" Gordie replied grinning. And then more quietly he said "Didn't think you'd mind the time alone either" as he winked and laughed. This received a punch in the arm from Chris and no reply.
"We're heading off now!!" Jackie yelled at the boys.
"Oh- Wait up, we'll walk you home" Chris replied.
Alright- that's it so far. Gonna leave a nice little cliffhanger for ya. Again- thanks for the reviews, more are always welcome. Hope you're enjoying the story and have a marvelous day!!
