The doorbell rang, Rebecca was just finished getting "ready," so she yelled out that she would get it and so Eric could continue cooking. Rebecca finished pulling her hair up into a ponytail before she opened the door.
Jade showed up to the house with a few bottles of chilled wine, Rebecca greeted her with a smile and a hug.
"It's one of my favorites," Jade said. "It doesn't taste like alcohol or fermented grapes, so it's more like white grape juice. It's still pretty strong, but you can't taste it."
Eric had been busy all day, getting ready for the evening's meal for the three of them. He had already mixed a homemade Cesar salad, marinated chicken breasts, and prepped some vegies. The veggies were already grilled, and the chicken was almost finished. While Jade and Rebecca watched Eric grill from the kitchen, they talked.
They decided to play some games instead of watching movies, which would have been the norm.
The first game they played while they ate. It was a trivia video game Eric had found which ended up being pretty fun. It was a 2 player game, so they decided to be "boys versus girls," which was unfair for Eric, but he didn't mind, he knew that he was going to lose in almost all categories except "movies."
"This wine is good," Rebecca remarked, finishing off her first glass.
"It's one of my favorites," Jade said. "It's a German Riesling."
"Oh, then it is one of Rebecca's, too," Eric said, laughing.
"Oh, God," Rebecca said.
"What...?" Jade asked.
Eric told Jade the story of Rebecca while they were in Germany. Jade didn't know that they were there and wanted to know all about Germany. Eric and Rebecca took turns telling her about it while Jade and Rebecca finished beating Eric at the trivia game. Rebecca and Jade continued to talk while Eric cleaned up from supper.
When Eric joined them, they were discussing what game to play next. Eric suggested a card game that was easy to learn. Rebecca suggest Scrabble, one of her favorites. While they were thinking about what to play next, Eric put on some music.
"Do you know what I have never played, but have always wanted to?" Jade asked.
"Hhmmm?" Rebecca asked.
"Well, don't laugh, because it's a little childish, or immature sounding," Jade said.
"Okay," Rebecca and Eric said at the same time.
"I would like to play 'truth or dare'," Jade said.
Eric smiled. But when Jade frowned, thinking he was smiling at her suggestion, he explained that as wild as his high school days were, he hadn't played it either, but Rebecca had. He then started explaining what he knew about her experience. Rebecca interrupted and explained it better.
"Well, since you are the expert, how are we going to do this?" Eric asked Rebecca.
"I guess we ask questions and make dares," Rebecca said, half sarcastically.
"Do we go around in a circle and ask each other, or spin a bottle or something?" Eric asked
"No, that's 'spin the bottle," Jade said, laughing. "I think that we should split up into teams, 'boys against girls' again."
Rebecca and Eric agreed. Jade and Rebecca sat on one couch and Eric the other.
"What do we do if someone doesn't want to answer a question?" Eric asked.
"We make them do a dare," Rebecca said.
"Well, what if they don't want to do the dare?" Jade asked.
"Hhmm, I don't know," Rebecca said.
"What if we make them drink a glass of wine?" Eric suggested. Rebecca and Jade agreed.
"Who goes first?" Jade asked.
"I think that you should," Rebecca said. "It was your idea to play."
"Oh, I have a question," Jade said.
"Okay, go ahead," Rebecca said. Jade asked Eric "truth or dare," and he chose "truth."
"Where is the craziest place you have had sex?" Jade asked.
"Hhmm," Eric thought. "Once, after a date, the person that I was with asked to drive to her old high school. I think it was a weekend, but I can't remember. I don't remember if anyone was in the parking lot, but I think it was almost empty. Anyhow, we park next to an out building in the parking lot out front and she climbed into the back seat and told me to come back with her. We had sex in the back of the vehicle- with her on top- in broad daylight, in her old high school parking lot."
"Nice," Jade said.
"That sounds familiar," Rebecca said, smiling.
"Well, it was your idea to go your old school," Eric said, pointing at Rebecca. Jade laughed at the two of them.
"Okay, truth or dare?" Eric asked.
"Truth," Rebecca and Jade said at the same time.
"Have you ever kissed a girl?" Eric asked. He knew Rebecca's answer, but wanted to know Jade's. They both looked at each other.
"Dare," Jade said.
"Hhmm, okay," Eric said. "I dare you to take turns giving me a back rub. I worked pretty hard yesterday and really need one."
"Okay, how long?" Jade asked. When she asked. Eric noticed that the music changed songs.
"How about for one song worth," Eric said.
"Do you mind if we take turns giving each other a back rub?" Jade asked. "I had a hard shift yesterday, too."
"I don't mind," Eric said.
Rebecca messaged Eric's back while Jade messaged hers. When the song was over, they turned around and Eric was messaging Rebecca's back and she was messaging Jade's. Then the third song came one and Jade messaged Eric's back and Rebecca messaged Jade's. That way, Eric had his back messaged the most, for all three songs. No one said much, except if Eric was pressing too hard, or to focus more on different areas. It was good for them all.
