As theydrove off I snapped a couple more.The phone beeped once more.**I better not ever see you again or your ass is mine**I looked at Jackie and she ...ooked at me. We both gave abig sigh and leaned back in our seats.“You think this is over?” she asked.“I can only assume so. I doubt they will want to causemore trouble since they got their money.”“I hope so.”“You learn anything today?” I asked.“Yes, a few things. Don’t dump someone. Not feeling the need to hide his amusement at my antics, Cochran wore a really big grin that showed most of his teeth."At least someone is enjoying this," I thought sourly.Of course that tore it. The first exercise on the morning of the first day and I'd managed to blow my cover. I felt humiliated. I wanted to go back to the BOQ and hide under my bed.I was surprised when it was Cochran, not Brock, who came to my aid. Wilkins was just about to frame a coherent question to me when Evan stepped up. (“I don’t see corn flakes on the table, anyway.”)That was true. There were bacon, eggs, pancakes, waffles and toast — a fairly typical American breakfast.“OK you two, it was enough that we heard Karin screaming all night!” Melanie teased. “Now you’re speaking Swedish!”I wasn’t going to let that go unanswered.“It wasn’t all night Melanie, it was four times, and besides, she wasn’t that loud! Were you listening at the door?” I teased.“Ignore her, Steve!” Mrs. Spencer laughed. “She’s just being. How about every time you lose you take an item of clothing off." I sat there in stunned silence. Not sure what to make of it. Then Dave added "That way we know who is winning." he laughed I nodded my head in agreement.The card game was simple, the deck was shuffled and the split. Every time one of us turned over a picture card the other would take an item off. It started off and within a few minutes I was down to my shorts and underwear, we both had tshirts and socks on at the start. Dave.
