A Little Getaway: A Sherri Polo Adventure

Ch. 2 Truth or Truth

"Okay, here's how it goes:  First, to ensure that there is NO cheating," Teri emphasized as Sherri pretended to act shocked, "we'll go through the questions ourselves and write our answers down and what we think each others answer would be. Then we'll take turns asking the questions that we both have to answer about each other. There are 75 questions, but they're short. If you get it right you get one point. If you get it wrong you get a shot of whiskey.  Did you get the app?," Teri asked as she walked back to the table with two pads and 2 pens.

"Yep right here," Sherri answered holding up her phone. "So what does the winner get?" 

As she asked she leaned towards Teri putting her hand on her thigh a little bit higher than she intended, her face just inches from hers.

Suddenly the tension in the room changed.   Their eyes locked and the silence was deafening.

"Um, to be determined later?"

Sherri pulled back quickly, clapping her hands in mock bravado, and breaking the tension. "Alrighty, unknown odds!  Let's get this!  You're going down Polo!"

"Now I've never gone down in my entire life. Why would I start now?" Teri snapped back full of innuendo as she wiggled her eyebrows at Sherri.

"You're so bad!  Just write!" Sherri laughed picking up her notebook and pen.

She leaned back in her chair and dangled her legs over the side of the table, and put the notebook against her legs.  Teri leaned back in her chair and did the same thing on the opposite side.

10 minutes passed and they continued answering questions, stopping only to get another beer.

After 15 minutes they both finished, and Teri moved her legs off the table and sat back watching Sherri finish. "You good Saum?" she asked leaning forward and attempting to look at Sherri's pad.

"Back off woman! Don't even try to cheat!" she squealed pulling the pad towards her chest.

"Cheat? Me? Seriously? I'm hurt! I was just looking to see if you were almost done." She sucked her teeth in mock hurt.

"Yeah, sure Polo. Sit your pretty ass down and keep your eyes on your own friggin' pad!"

"It is a pretty ass isn't it?," Teri said turning around and putting her hand on her hip as she pushed her ass out to put it on display and shaking it back and forth.

Sherri leaned forward and swatted at her smacking her with a loud thwack across her ass. "Sit down woman!"

"Such hostility! Don't hate on my fine ass! You've got some nice globes yourself!," she laughed. "Just give me a minute. I'm going to go grab another beer. You?'

Sherri held up her bottle and nodded her head yes.

"These are going down...," Teri began.

"...like a cheap date," Sherri finished which caused them both to chuckle. "Ha! Great minds Polo!"

Teri handed her another beer, and then sat down putting her pad right in front of her face being careful to keep it facing her. "Okay, go..."

It started simple: birthdate, birthplace, family member names, pets, and things that most people with access to Google knew about them. Then it got more personal: first boyfriend, first kiss, first lover, first job, first car... Question after question they answered correctly about the other. After the first 25 correct answers Teri stopped the game and made Sherri take a congratulatory shot. They both winced as they threw the shots back, and chased them with the last of their drinks sending Teri back to the refrigerator.

She handed Sherri another beer as the questions continued: celebrity crush, favorite movie, most embarrassing moment, biggest regret, favorite position, and favorite body part. The next 25 questions were more difficult and they both got two wrong but they were questions that could have had multiple answers so technically neither of them were wrong. They still knew every detail about each other. Score-wise they were neck and neck, and it didn't look like there would be a winner.

They both went 24 for 24 in the next round, and the last question looked to be the tie breaker if one of them answered it wrong.

Teri went to the fridge one more time to get them both a drink before reading the final question. "One more shot?"

"Bring it Polo. It'll make this L so much less painful for you."

"Oh, you're confident aren't you,?" Teri laughed as she poured Sherri's shot and pushed it towards her.

"Yep, you're going to lose."

"We'll see about that," Teri winked as they clinked their shot glasses and threw them back.

"Wooooo! Fire! Whoooooo! That's good shit! Alright lets go! Read..."

"Okay," Sherri started as she moved her legs off the table and sat up. "What is your biggest secret?" Sherri smirked with confidence as she watched Teri's face fall. There was no way she knew this one.

"I'm going to have to think about this one. You go."

Sherri laughed and poured a shot of whiskey. "This is for you when you lose. And then you need to think of my prize. It better be something good."

"Oh it will be. Tell me my biggest secret my smart ass Polo Guru."

"Drop - Off," Sherri laughed.

"Really? You picked... of all the things... seriously. I can't believe... what the fuck?"

"Am I right?"

Teri flipped her pad around to show her. "Bitch," she laughed. "I thought it was too obvious."

"Not at all! So what you got Polo..."

Teri just stared at her studying her face. She looked almost defeated. She hated to lose. Then suddenly she smiled in a gotcha type of way. "What do you have Polo... come on..."

Teri's smile grew wider as she leaned forward towards Sherri and confidently stated two simple words: "Hall pass."
