Brother & Sister Pleasure: Ep8

I returned to the party, but I wasn't feeling it. Things were starting to break up, anyway. Eventually, after just about everyone had left, I climbed into bed. I was exhausted, but wide awake. My mind raced with everything that had happened with Lucy all that we'd said and done. And hadn't done.

Eventually I guess I fell asleep because the next memory I have is of someone knocking on my bedroom door. It felt like they were beating on my skull. Too much alcohol and not enough sleep had left me in quite a state. Carefully, I got up from bed. I realized I'd never changed out of my slacks and dress shirt from the night before. I limped to the door.

Lucy was on the other side, looking quite a wreck herself. Her dress was half off her shoulder and her golden blonde locks were sticking up all over the place, like a cruel parody of the big hair you'd see in an 80s TV show. "Hi," Lucy said, looking down at her feet. "I think I threw up last night. In a trash can."

"I left it there for you," I said.

"I thought so," Lucy said, "I don't remember a lot of last night."

"You got drunk," I said.

"Figured that part out," Lucy said. She pushed past me and then dropped onto my bed. I was pleased to see (and smell) that she was at least vomit-free. She snuggled into my pillows. "I hope I didn't do anything too embarrassing." "You really don't remember?" I asked. I sat down next to her. My sister quickly shied away. Like I'd shocked her.

"I remember drinking a lot," she said, "Last night was hard. It was super uncomfortable to be around those people and realize they aren't our friends anymore. You know? Like, when we needed help, where were they? But when we throw a party, they all show up."

"I know," I said, "It was hard for me, too. Do you remember bringing me over to say 'hi' to Kara?"

"Sort of," Lucy said. She snuggled into my pillow more. "I remember Kara and I were talking, and she saw you. She said you'd gotten, like, super-hot. I'm sorry, Dylan. I thought about what you'd told me before. About how you'd think about her when we... It made me jealous. I know it shouldn't have. It's not fair, but it did."

"It's OK," I said, "I think I'd feel the same way if one of my friends was perving on you."

"Or if Randy Hotguy was at the party, putting the moves on me?" Lucy asked. She gave me a smirk and, despite it all, she looked so beautiful lying on my bed in the morning sun.

"Yeah, fuck that guy," I said.

"Well, I kinda couldn't handle it with Kara," Lucy said, "So I told myself it was funny, instead, and tried to make a whole joke out of it. And then you were flirting with her for real and I got really upset. Like, even more than before." "I'm sorry," I said, "I shouldn't have done that."

"Of course, you should have!" Lucy said, giving me a shove. "She's a hot girl and she's totally into you. You don't owe me anything, I'm your sister. I don't have any right to get in your way." "Still, though," I said, "I could tell it was hurting your feelings."

"Yeah, so I went to go drink more after that," Lucy said, "And then I woke up in my own bed. I guess you helped me. I didn't, um, do anything else, did I? Nothing embarassing?"

I looked down at the hardwood floor. "You're fine," I said.

"Oh no," Lucy said, "I didn't hook up with some dude, did I? Or worse, one of our stupid, ugly cousins?"
