Baby take off your shirt.....real slow!

“We’re here guys!” Becca called as her and Cassidy entered Nick’s front door.
Brian bounded in and scooped Becca up in his arms.
“I missed you, I missed you….” Brian kissed her between every word.
Cassidy looked at them with a smile on her face. She sighed wishing she were as happy as Becca and Brian. She heard someone clear their throat behind her. Cassidy snapped back to reality and turned around. Nick was smiling.
“Tsk tsk…it’s not polite to stare..” He grinned.
“Like they would notice…” Cassidy joked but was a little embarrassed by Nick’s observation.

“Ok, well against Becca’s immense protests, I didn’t allow her to get too many “chick flicks”. We compromised for Bad Boys and Armageddon..” Cassidy announced trying to ease the tension between Nick and herself.
“Cool! Umm just dump your stuff anywhere for the moment..” Nick said taking the videos from her and placing them on the VCR.
“Why hello everybody!” AJ announced as he and Kevin entered and gave Cassidy a hug.
“Ewwww….public display of affection!” AJ smirked and grabbed Becca around the waist and pulling her away from Brian.
“Hey….” Brian pouted.
“Sorry partner, I’m just protectin’ your poor ‘ole heart from being lassoed and taken away into the sunset by this little filly…” AJ said in the funniest “old western accent.” Everybody looked at AJ with weird expressions.
“Sorry, there was a John Wayne marathon on this morning…..you have no idea how influential those movies can be!” AJ apologized and everyone laughed.

“Ok sweetie…..” Cassidy patted AJ on the back with mock sympathy, everyone sat down in the lounge room.
“I’m hungry….” Nick whined.
“What do you guys wanna eat?” Brian asked looking around.
“Ummm…pizza ok with everybody?” Nick said much quieter.
“That’s fine…” Everyone nodded in agreement.
“Hey Cassidy did you bring the nail polish?” Becca smiled.
“Sure did!” Cassidy went to retrieve a travel vanity case to give to Becca.
“What’s that?” Kevin asked as Rebecca took the case.
“That’s mine and Cassidy’s nail polish stash…this is a sleepover of course!” Becca showed him the impressive selection of little bottles every colour of the rainbow.
“Cool…” AJ picked out a bottle of black.
“Can I paint your nails while we’re watching the movie AJ?” Cassidy pleaded.
“Ok….” AJ shrugged, “What are we watching?”
“Bad Boys!”

“Awww…if you get to paint AJ’s nails I get to paint someone’s too!” Becca grinned at Brian.
“Don’t look at me!” Brian laughed, Becca turned to Kevin.
“Kevin……..can I please paint your toenails….” Becca asked with innocent eyes.
“No way!!” Kevin shook his head strongly.
“Awww please. I’ll make it worth your while….” Becca smiled, she saw Kevin thinking about the offer.
“Like..”
“Oh I don’t know….maybe a game of strip poker…..Becca and Cassidy style?” Becca grinned slyly. Kevin thought for a moment.
“Alright…your on… but don’t even think about using the pink…”
Becca giggled.
“This should be interesting!”

“Here’s Will Smith…..I mean Bad Boys!” Cassidy laughed handing the video tape to Nick.
Nick laughed.
“Now I know why you too chose this movie!”

Brian pouted at Becca.
“You think Will Smith is hot?”
“He’s not nearly as gorgeous as you….” Becca said kissing Brian.

“Get a room!!” Nick yelled throwing a pillow at the couple.
“Ok!” Brian said hoping off the couch pulling Becca along with him.
“Brian!” Becca laughed loudly.
“Only kidding…” Brian grinned pulling Becca back to the couch.
“Ok guys, movies on!” Nick turned the TV on and sat down on the couch next to AJ.
Cassidy was sitting on the floor in between him and AJ.
“I love this bit when they’re in the car..” Becca giggled.
“Yeah me too….so you want the black AJ?” Cassidy waved the bottle of nail polish up at AJ.
“Yeah baby…” AJ rested his foot on Cassidy’s leg and she began to apply the first coat.

About half way through the movie the door bell rang. Nick got up to get it and nearly tripped over Cassidy on the way.
“Oops sorry….pizza’s here!” He called, paying for the pizza and bringing them back to the lounge room.

“After dinner entertainment….” Kevin rubbed his hands together mischievously.
“What do you have in mind?” Brian asked.
“What was it again Bec? Strip poker…Bec and Cassidy style?” Kevin grinned.
“Ummm…oh that…..I was joking….” Becca said.
“STRIP POKER!!!!” AJ jumped to his feet excitedly.
“Oh but we don’t have any chips…..” Nick said unsure if he wanted to play this game.
Becca and Cassidy looked at each other and grinned.
“Cassidy lets get the cutlery then!” Becca giggled knowing there was no backing down now. Her and Cassidy disappeared into the kitchen.

“What the! Cutlery?” AJ looked at Kevin confused.
“This should be good!” Kevin said clearing away the leftover pizza boxers.
“I don’t wanna play….” Nick whined from his position on the couch.
“Come on Nickers….be a man!” Kevin said in a funny deep voice.
“I’m sure Cassidy would love to see that buff body of yours!!” AJ teased.
“I don’t think so….” Nick mumbled.
“Either way…..you get to see hers!” Brian looked at his friend suggestively.
“Well I’m in….” Nick’s face brightened at the thought of Cassidy without a shirt on.
Cassidy and Rebecca returned each carrying bundles of forks, knives and various other cutlery.

“You got a pack of cards?” Cassidy smiled.
“Yep! I’ll deal!” AJ said and they all sat on the floor to play.
“Alright….no cheating AJ….” Becca grinned as everyone sat down. Cassidy, Nick, AJ, Brian, Becca, and Kev eyed their cards then each other. Cassidy was having real issues not laughing at their serious faces. Brian looked at his cards again. Cassidy burst out laughing. Brian looked up at her.
“What?” He asked defensively.
“You’re taking this way too serious! Like when you just looked at your cards then….you had this like weird eyebrow thing going on, very funny…” Cassidy giggled and the others soon joined in.

“Ok so if we’re playing the “Becca and Cassidy” rules here….you’d better fill us in on what they are…so there’s no little surprises on the way!” Kevin grinned.
“Ok….” Cassidy and Becca quickly filled the boys in on all the rules that were slightly changed.
“Oh and one more thing….” Cassidy smirked.
“What!?” The guys asked.
“The person with the second worst hand has to remove the item from the loser!” Becca laughed.
“Lets play!!!” AJ yelled enthusiastically.

“I know Howie..it’s just that things have just started to settle down…..then your off again.” Julie said distressed.

“I’m sorry Jules…..I know it’s hard for you….I’ll ring every day!” Howie said lovingly, leaning down to kiss her on the forehead.

Becca and Cassidy were killing themselves laughing, by then Nick’s shirt was off and everyone sat back down for the next round, AJ dealt and everyone looked at their hands nervously.

”Shit!” Becca cursed inside her head. “A pair of twos and a pair of fives!” She smiled and tried to bluff her way out of this predicament.

“I see your desert spoon and raise you 2 forks!”
“Oooo! 2 forks huh…” Kevin teased.
“Hey shutup, I’m not the one who put in a desert spoon!” Becca laughed.
“I’ll see your cards….” Brian said evilly.
“Crap…” Becca showed her cards painfully.
“Oooooo…you lose Becca…” Cassidy grinned.
AJ looked over at Kevin’s cards.
“It’s your lucky day Kevvy Kev!”
“What..” Brian asked in a menacing tone. Cassidy also took a peek at Kevin’s cards.
“Hmm Brian why don’t you and me go get some drinks from the kitchen?” Cassidy laughed.
“No let him stay, this’ll be funny!” AJ smirked.

Kevin turned to Becca and looked her over once. “Shirt or skirt?” He grinned devilishly.
“I don’t know!” Rebecca said embarrassed.
“Ok!” Kevin grinned and promptly reached for the zipper on Becca’s skirt. Brian pushed Kevin’s hand away.
“She said she didn’t know, that doesn’t give you free license to choose!” Brian said defensively.
AJ smirked.
“Don’t worry Bri, in Africa it’s customary for the man’s cousin to have first rights to his girl…..quite natural!” The whole table cracked up while Brian gave AJ an icy stare.
“Kevin just take off my shirt and Brian stop being a Baby!” Becca leant over and kissed Brian on the nose.

Half an hour later

“AH HA!! You finally lost Cassidy..give it up…”
“Ah Becca I wouldn’t be laughed cause guess who got one pair of Jacks, coming second last!” Cassidy said beckoning Brian. Rebecca gasped but quickly regained composure.
“What! I’m cool with it……off you go Brian!”
“Sure, sure!” Everyone taunted as Brian stood over Cassidy.
“Ok What are ya gonna lose Cassidy?” Brian asked half grinning. Cassidy pulled him closer whispering something into his ear.
“Oh!” He said grinning from ear to ear as he reached over and removed one of Cassidy’s leather deck shoes.
“OH! NO FAIR!!” AJ exclaimed.
“We did say any item of clothing!!” Cassidy grinned triumphantly.
“Damn! Why didn’t I think of that!” Nick said as he sat in his cargo pants, silently praying that he didn’t lose too soon, fully aware that the guys would tease him about his briefs.

“Deal AJ!” Cassidy said as AJ sat there shaking his head at her.

“I see your fork and raise you a table spoon…”
“I see your table spoon and raise you a butter knife!”
“Ooo…butter knife huh, bringing out the big guns now!” Cassidy smirked.
“I’ll see you cards…”

“Your not having much luck tonight Brian…you lose! But what and by whom?” Kevin looked around at everyone’s cards.
“Ahhhh Becca…..go get your man!” Cassidy cheered. Rebecca felt butterflies in her stomach as she looked at Brian’s expectant grin.
“Let’s go Becca….pants off!” Nick laughed. She blushed and looked at Brian. “Pants?” She laughed.
“Pants…” Brian nodded..
The whole table provided background music, whistles and a live commentary. Rebecca quickly undid Brian’s button and unzipped the stone pants, pulling them off. As the table exploded into laughter at the exposure of Brian’s “horny li’l devil” Boxer shorts, Brian looked at Becca with confusion in his eyes.
”Why is she so uptight…” Brian thought.

AJ threw his cards on the table, as yet he had not lost a single item of clothing.
“I’m way too good at this game!” He exclaimed stripping off his shirt.
“We’ll I’m gonna go change into my PJ’s guys…” Rebecca said getting up from the table.
“Ok….you know where the bathroom is right?” Nick asked.
“Yep…” Becca answered and left to get changed, avoiding Brian’s questioning eyes.
