Past, Present and Future

Game Night

"So Gene, do you want to host a game night?" asked Paul after a Friday rehearsal. "I would but you know your place is bigger."

"I guess so. What kind of games? None that will hurt feelings or start a fight."

"Um, how about an adult version of Truth or Dare?" he smirked, knowing I can't resist a challenge.

"Who do we invite?" "Bruce?"

We went over the details and I sent out the invites. Of course Eric jumped at that chance and Paul already invited himself. Bruce reluctantly agrees and Tommy said  yes just because he thought he had to.

The night comes and Paul shows up with food while Tommy brought  the sodas and water. Eric showed  up with booze and Bruce brought desserts.

After sitting on the floor with food and drink, I start. "Truth or dare, Bruce?"

"Truth always. I'm not taking ANY dares from any of you. The last time I did, well....."

I grin, knowing the answer to that statement. Let's just say Eric C. dared Bruce to stand on his balcony with just a towel on in a wind storm and....good thing Bruce kept his boxers on. Of course he was tipsy at the time so that explains a lot.

"Okay then, when you were in the band what is the one thing you did that none of us ever knew?"

Bruce turns bright red before he answers. Paul has a shit-eating grin which makes me wonder what he knows. 

Everyone is waiting for the answer. Bruce finally replies. "One night when Eric and I were at his place enjoying dinner, he dared me to go out dressed as a lady the next night. He wanted to go to a club and I blindly agreed. Of course when you're 6'4" it's a bit hard to pose as a woman." 

"You just wear flats!" piped in Paul. "And something showy so people look."

I rolled my eyes as Tommy looked at Bruce in shock and Eric started laughing. "It should have been Eric."

Bruce continued telling the story. "I settled on wearing a long black dress and a red wig. Of course I forgot to shave so there's that. Anyway it lead to an interesting night." "Now Eric, Truth or Dare?"

"Dare of course!"

"I dare you to walk outside around the yard in as little as possible without getting caught. You have ten minutes." 

Eric immediately jumped up and started tossing clothes everywhere. Tommy hid his face in Paul's shirt while I just shook my had and Paul tossed back a beer. Bruce gave Eric a thumbs up as he took off. 

"Paul," whispered Tommy, "please don't ask me to do that."

"I won't sweetie. I know you're uncomfortable."

The door shut as a completely naked Eric came back and started re-dressing. "I woulda stayed out longer but it's raining." He grinned and asked Paul, "Truth or Dare?"

"Truth."

"Okay then, Paulie. When you and Tommy finally get together, what's the first thing you're planning on doing?"

"Definitely not telling you or Gene anything." "Now Tom, truth or Dare?" 

"Truth?"

"Okay, what's the weirdest combination of food you like together?"

"Oh that's easy! Sour pickles with white cheddar cheese and peanut butter. On wheat bread." 

Faces were made all around. "Now Gene? Truth or Dare?"

"Dare of course."

"Okay. Go into your closet and put on the most outrageous outfit you own."

"That should be Paul's dare but okay."

I came back about thirty minutes later dressed as Velvet from the movie I had made. Bruce choked on his beer, and Tommy's jaw dropped. Paul snorted as he started laughing and Eric got a wicked gleam in his eye.

I shook my head at Eric and sat down on the floor. "It took too long to put this on, I'm not taking it off anytime soon."

After a few more rounds of Truth or Dare, I went back to change. Eric whispered that he wanted me to wear the corset later after everyone left. I said maybe and headed back to the living room.

Luckily game night ended without fights or tears. Of course if Tommy hadn't been here, it probably would have been more x-rated.
