Montana Mansion

Truth or Dare

Jess's POV:

Finn and Philby sat on the floor, Maybeck was stretched out on the couch, and Amanda and I were chilling on the love seat in the family room when Willa and Charlene walked in. They were dressed as gypsies and looked amazing. Willa was adorable and Charlene was stunning. Charlene's eyes skimmed over all of us, a disappointed look in her eye when she saw our very unfashionable pajamas. 

Her hand on her hip, she started to talk in a low, seductive tone. "Come, darlings."

Amanda was smiling. "And where are you taking us, my gypsy girls?"

"The gypsy cove, of course!" Charlene said in her sexy voice as she put her hands above her head, looked to the left, and thrust out her right hip. Willa looked plain uncomfortable at this point. I glanced over at the boys who were staring at Charlene like dejected puppies. I chuckled. It was pathetic, the hold she had over all of them. Pretty does things, I suppose.

Willa put her hands on her hips and looked over our heads. "Are you coming, darlings?"

We all scrambled up as Charlene turned around and sashayed back around the corner. We followed them up three flights of stairs and down half a dozen hallways before we finally came to a rough, wooden ladder. Charlene quickly scaled it and the rest of us followed suit.

"Wow," I gasped once I reached the top. The room was elaborately decorated with Indian style decorations, but much more dramatic. Dim lamps were the room's only source of lighting. There were no windows, and once Charlene shut the door that we had entered by, shoving a chair in front of it, there was no way out.

"Creepy," Philby muttered as he watched Charlene push the chair in front of the door. 

"Now," Charlene put her hands on her hips, "I believe there was a game we were supposed to play?" Finally, she had dropped the facade and returned to her normal self. 

"Truth or Dare!" Finn announced. "Who's going first?"

"I will!" Amanda exclaimed. "I love this game and we haven't played it in forever." I saw Finn and Willa wink at each. What was that all about?

"Philby!" Amanda said. "Truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to let the person on your left sit on your lap until your next turn."

Charlene laughed before plunking herself down on Philby's lap. He settled his hands around her waist, holding her there snugly. She bent down and whispered something in his ear that made him laugh. Willa glared steadily at him and the smile fell from his face.

What was wrong with Willa tonight?

"Okay," Philby scanned the room, "Jess. Truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"Exchange your outfit with Willa."

I glanced over at Willa, who appeared to be doing a happy dance. I was mortified.

"Wait, but, Philby, I-"

Willa cut me off and hauled me behind a curtain. "You heard the man. Give me your pajamas and you take this thing. After we swapped, we came out, strutting our stuff. Charlene, Finn, Maybeck, and Amanda were laughing and Philby sat with a satisfied smirk on his face. 

"This is way too short, Char!" I exclaimed, tugging my skirt down. "What were you thinking?"

"That the costume was for someone's Willa's size, not someone 5'6''." Charlene bent over, howling with laughter. Even Willa smiled. I looked to Philby. "How long do I have to wear this?"
