65. Girl talk
'It's so good to be back', Jodi said, sitting down on the hay. 'But why do we sit in the barn?' She stared at Kate, who smirked. It was great to have her best friend back. She still couldn't believe it. 'It was kinda my idea, cause we are with so many and I thought it would be fun.' 'You still have strange ideas Squirt.' 'I know', Kate said pleased.
Stevie almost started to jump when she saw Grace and Tayler bringing all kinds of chocolate candies. 'This is better than a stripper.' 'Okay, call the stripper off', Tess yelled at Regan. They all sat down on the ground in a circle. 'So what are we gonna do?', Rose asked. 'Truth or dare!', Jodi said immediately. They lay a bottle on the box in the center of the group and started to give it a swing. 'Okay truth or dare?', Regan asked to Jodi. 'Truth!' 'Okay let me think. If you would have to choose one of the men at Alex' party, except from Rob of course, to have a one night stand with, who would it be?' Jodi thought hard, a serious look on her face. Kate poked her. 'Come on Jodes'. 'Hey I'm thinking here.' 'For such questions you don't have to think with your brain Jodi!', Grace shouted.
'Okay, okay, fine; it would be ...', her answer got accompanied with a ruffle, 'Riley.' 'Riley!?', all girls were laughing now. 'What? I think it would be interesting.' Jodi said with an innocent face for once. 'Maybe Stevie could fill you in on ...' But before Regan could finish her line Stevie already had both her hands on Regan's mouth. 'Regs!' Regan gave her a 'what on earth did I do wrong?' look. 'I have a daughter sitting here', Stevie stated. 'Owww ...' 'I'm not sure if I wanna know this', Rose said, knowing exactly were this was heading to. 'No you don't!', Stevie added immediately. 'I'm so glad mum offered to baby-sit Aislin, instead of joining us', Jodi said, looking at Stevie and Rose.
'Maybe I should check on Aislin', Rose said, standing up, brushing the dirt from her jeans. 'Call me back when you have finished this game', she added as she walked out of the barn. 'Smart girl', Tess smirked to Stevie. Now all eyes were on Stevie. 'What?' 'Riley, hey. I didn't know you two ...', Grace had to fight her laugh. 'That was a long time ago, nothing interesting to tell.' 'Okay, so we don't have to try him', Jodi concluded. 'And what about Alex?', Grace asked all of a sudden, making all heads turn to Stevie again.
Stevie almost started to blush, so as Tess noticed it she decided to jump in. 'He's talented, but that runs it the family', she grinned. 'What?', Stevie said, 'You two? You never told me that, neither did Alex!' Tess was surprised her redheaded friend didn't know, but waved it away. 'That was ages ago, when I just showed up on Drovers. Nothing serious, just fun.' Stevie shot Tess a strange amused look. 'So, is he?' Grace tried to get back to the subject. Stevie thought. 'Why do you have to think about that one?' Jodi asked. Stevie now started to smile in herself, getting even more asking looks. 'Cause it's been a year ago.' 'WHAT?!'
Stevie tried to calm the girls down, who seemed to start talking to any and everyone. 'We're waiting for the wedding night.' 'That is so cute', Kate squealed. 'And Aislin?', Jodi asked, definitely feeling she missed out a lot being away for a year. 'You could call that a one night stand.' 'You're kidding?', she continued, 'I'm here for two days and you two can't keep your hands of each other, half of the time you can't talk to me cause Alex claims your lips, and you are know telling me you only did it once?', She was totally flabbergasted and the others had to giggle about the look on Jodi's face.
'Not exactly once, but that doesn't mean we didn't do anything. He's talented it many ways', Stevie added with a high voice, a wide smile on her face. She than let out a sigh. 'I wish it was tomorrow.' 'I betcha, here take some chocolate!', Regan said, offering her a plate full with chocolate snacks.
