your bra on under any circumstances!”
    “Yes you will! After all, you didn’t have any problem squeezing into Jennifer’s skirt or my shirt.”
    “But they weren’t sexy lingerie!”
    “It’s only a game. Someone has to be the loser,” said Jennifer, biting her lower lip so as not to burst out laughing. She couldn’t believe how easy it had been to dupe him. Never in her life had she thought Terence would join their game.

    Home, finally! Gray couldn’t wait to wrap Liz in his arms and see that she was okay. He put on the parking brake and got out of the SUV with Chris and Jeff. They took their shopping bags out of the back and went to the front door. They were barely in the house, when they heard Terence’s exasperated voice.
    “Oh no! I won’t do it! Give me my things back and you can get dressed again, Liz.”
    Shocked, the three men looked at each other before they dropped their shopping bags on the kitchen counter and ran out. They stopped abruptly when they saw Terence standing next to the table, arms akimbo. Furiously he stared down at Liz and Jennifer, who both wore sanctimonious smiles.
    The wraparound skirt and tiny shirt robbed Terence of any authority that he might have once possessed. Jeff disappeared quickly while Gray and Chris continued to stare baffled and, at the same time, fascinated by the scene.
    “Why are you wearing Jennifer’s skirt?” Chris asked after he had regained his composure.
    “And Liz’s shirt,” said Gray, still grinning.
    Terence slapped his forehead, before he shook his head in resignation and closed his eyes. This simply couldn’t be happening! Now his friends were witnesses to his humiliation. It couldn’t get any worse. Could it? But it could!
    A clicking noise resonated and Terence’s eyes flew open. Jeff stood in front of him with a camera, vigorously capturing it all on film. Laughing loudly, Jeff spun around and ran away as fast as his feet would carry him. Terence swore and sprinted after him.
    “Stop and give me the camera right now!” he said as he ran, circling the pool after Jeff. Barking, Lucky and Nero joined the chase and ran after them, snapping at Terence’s skirt and almost making him fall. Jeff ran—still laughing—to the house, disappeared inside, ran up the steps and escaped into his room. With his head held high, Terence walked up to Gray and Chris who were standing by the glass door to the kitchen and trying hard to suppress their laughter, although they couldn’t keep the corners of their mouths from twitching.
    Terence stopped in front of them and glared. “Never again! Do you hear me?
Never
again!” Then he strutted like a peacock past them and they finally lost their composure and exploded with laughter, hardly able to stay on their feet.
    “I told you not to offend him,” said Gray. “What were you even playing? And how did you ever get him to put on your clothes?” he asked and wiped the tears out of his eyes.
    “We played poker and wagered our things. Whoever won could redistribute them,” Liz said as she stood up. “I never would have thought he would actually play along.” She held Terence’s pants at the waist and shuffled up to Gray in the large shoes. When he saw her get-up, he burst into laughter again and held his stomach.
    “And what about your lingerie?” he asked, out of breath.
    “That was my last wager before you arrived. Terence refused to put on the bra.”
    “I believe it!”
    Chris walked up to Jennifer and examined her from top to bottom, chuckling. “And what did you relieve him of?”
    “His shirt and his watch,” she said proudly and raised her arm as proof.
    “You better give him his things back, otherwise he won’t want to be friends anymore.”
    “He’ll get his things back! We can undress quickly.” Liz took Terence’s shoes off and carried them into the house, followed by Jennifer. At the steps Liz turned around and ran back to the table. Gray grinned when she took her
