Unspoken Pleasure by Erotica

Family Vacation: >1

My Mom and my Aunt Tara are fraternal twins. They were best friends as kids and even went to college together. But after they met their respective husbands, they went to completely different parts of the country. Aunt Tara and Uncle Micah

moved to Pennsylvania while my Mom and Dad bought a house in the suburbs of Chicago.

Soon, both sisters had babies and -- surprise surprise -- they both gave birth to twins. First, Aunt Tara had my cousins, Logan and Marissa. Two years later, my Mom gave birth to my brother, Liam, and me, Melanie.

My Mom and her twin sister still keep in touch. These days it's harder not to stay in contact with someone. However, a FaceTime isn't the same as a face-to-face. And so, once a year, both families get together for a week's vacation in July. As a joke, I named these annual gatherings TwinCon, and it's had that designation ever since.

Because my family hosted TwinCon the previous year, it was our turn to pile into the car and make our way to Aunt Tara's in PA. However, we would be driving even further than usual that year because we'd all rented a house on the Jersey Shore. Seven days of sun and fun in a place that (I hoped) wouldn't be as bad as MTV made it seem.

The morning of the trip, we woke up at the crack of dawn to help my father load up the SUV. I had two heavy suitcases in my arms and the weight wasn't helping me wake up any. My parents were already outside waiting in the car, and my Dad's impatience with his teenaged children was starting to show. He honked the horn, probably infuriating half the neighborhood. I could hear his exasperation in how the car blared.

I scrambled down the stairs, not wanting any more of my Dad's ire than I'd already incurred. Right as I got to the door, however, my twin brother Liam shoved me out of the way to get past. There was zero reason for him to do that, he got no benefit from it. He tossed me aside simply because he could.

"Why do have to be such a jerk, Liam?" I shouted after my brother.

"Why do you have to be such a baby, Lemony?" Liam shouted back. My name is Melanie, but when we were younger my brother twisted my name around by accident and the name stuck. For nearly as long as I can remember, I've been Lemony or Lemon. It's not the worst nickname in the world. I've used it as an excuse to have a love affair with the color yellow. I wear daffodil-hued shirts and paint my nails 'banana.' My old, beat up Civic could best be described as mustard. Even my hair is golden, though that's just luck of the draw.

I picked up my bags again and lugged them out the front door. I could see my father arguing with my Mom and I didn't need to hear them to know it was already ugly. We needed to get going or there were going to be consequences. "What took you two so damn long?" Dad asked as Liam tossed his bags in the trunk.

I did my best not to stare, despite my sudden fascination. I mean, if I were asleep and my oversized boob popped out of my shirt, I wouldn't want Liam to be drooling over it while I drowsed. Though I doubted he wouldn't even care. Maybe it would even gross him out, seeing his sister's big, flabby tit. He didn't seem to have much patience for any of my other parts, lately.
