FIRST TOUCH: MY BEST FRIEND’S LITTLE SISTER
“She’s back from college, all grown up and off limits.
I needed her as soon as I saw her and as soon as her brother said no.
Melanie wasn’t the gangly girl that I remembered from so long ago. She’s changed. She’s a woman now.”
Chapter 1
Carl
“Are you on your way?”
“Yeah, you called me twice Scott, I told you then that I was on my way. I’ll be there.”
“That was an hour ago Carl and your ass is still not here.”
“I had to take Bianca home.”
“Oh, well is she still with you because we are not going to have enough room in the truck?”
“No, I just dropped her off a few minutes ago.”
Scott knew that Bianca lived right down by my house and I figured that he would get what took so long and that’s why he was on my ass. He must be bitchy because he hadn’t gotten any this morning.
“Good, how long until you get here?”
“Five minutes or so.”
“We need to go get my sister from the airport, so hurry the hell up.”
“Your sister?”
“You remember Melanie, don’t you? It’s been a while since you’ve seen here huh?”
I hadn’t thought about little Mel in several years. She went off to boarding school when she was fifteen and I hadn’t seen her the last five or six years. Now she is on her second year of college. I hear about her from time to time from her proud brother, but I hadn’t seen her since I took him to drop her off at the airport that long ago. I hadn’t known that she was coming back.
“Oh yeah, of course. How is she doing?”
He shrugged. “I don’t know. Mom called me when I was at work and told me to go get her. I didn’t even know that she was coming home, but you know they don’t tell me anything when it comes to her.”
“Probably so but you don’t remember because you don’t listen.”
“Probably. Get over here already. Her plane has touched down already and it’s twenty minutes there. I don’t want to hear about it because you had to get laid this morning.”
I told him that I would be there soon and hung up. I didn’t get what he was so worried about. It wasn’t like she was a kid or anything, by now she was a woman. It was hard to see her as that since she’d been gone for so long, but time had not stood still.
It was better than going to work, so I got to Scott’s and honked, waiting for him to come out and get in so we could go. When I saw his mom Lily coming out, I said hi to her and apologized for honking. “He said something about being in a rush.”
“Yeah, he needs to go get his sister. I told him thirty minutes ago. I would have gone myself if I would have known that he was going to take so long.”
I just kind of smiled and agreed, knowing that it was Bianca’s tempting ass that had made him late in the first place. She knew I had to go and she made sure that it was hard for me to do so. She liked to fuck with me and this morning she was on double duty and there was nothing I could have done. I was a helpless victim in it all. She knew that certain things would get me going and then I had to play it out to completion. That was the problem this morning anyways.
“Well he said he was ready, so we will be there in no time at all.”
She smiled and thanked me. “I don’t know where Scott would be without you Carl. You always help keep him in line.”
It was another thing that she didn’t really get. I got him in trouble a bit more than I would admit and it was Scott that usually kept me in line. He was usually the reasoning one that didn’t think out of emotions and do stupid shit like I was known to do. We balanced each other out well most of the time.
“How is Ted doing?”
“He’s doing alright. Starting another round of chemo tomorrow and we are hoping that this one does it.”
I told her that I would be praying for her husband that was diagnosed the year before. It was hard for me to be around him like that, when I wanted to remember him the way he was before he got sick and started to decline. He was a shadow of the man that he’d once been.
I didn’t come in to their house much anymore, probably because I didn’t know what to say or how to act, but I still wanted them to know that I was thinking about him and hoping him all of the best. He’d treated me like his own kid since I’d befriended his son when we were children and if the next round didn’t work, they wouldn’t be the only ones that were upset by it. Ted meant a lot, to a lot of different people.
Scott was coming out and kissed his mother on the cheek before bounding towards the truck and getting in. His red hair was about as bouncy as was the curls in a manic state around his he
ad. He didn’t do much to achieve the look and it was the only way that I knew Scott. He always joked about cutting it off, but then we would never be able to find him in a crowd. Now he stood out so well that he was always easy to spot.
“Let’s go, she’s bitching.” He said the words under his breath without moving his mouth much.
I knew that he was talking about his mom. I waved and smiled at Mary and told her we would be back soon with her daughter. She thanked me again and I got out of the driveway. He was anxious to go and I could tell by the way he was fidgeting next to me.
“What’s going on?”
He shrugged a little. “I don’t know, but mom is on edge and she is driving me crazy. She has been on my ass for an hour, so I hope Bianca was worth it.”
“She always is. That girl can…”
He cut me off and told me to shut up. He didn’t want to hear it and he had a look on his face that told me he wasn’t seeing the humor in it all. I asked him if he was not getting in from Betty and he just gave me this look that told me that I needed to stop talking.
“Not cool. You know how my mom gets and she’s been on me for the last half an hour. Bianca could have waited. Bros before hoes, right?”
I agreed, but had to laugh. I hadn’t heard that saying since we were in high school and we’re both eying the same chick in school.
Mary was anxious by nature and I imagined she had shredded several napkins because of it. “Sorry, you didn’t say anything about your sister when you called, so how was I supposed to know? You know I don’t move very fast, unless I have to. I thought we were just driving to the hardware store to get that sealant and finish up the driveway for your dad.”
“Well things change and you need to move a little faster. I don’t know why, but I think something happened at Melanie’s school and she’s home for a reason. Mom isn’t usually this anxious, so I just want to get her home and mom off my back.”
Feeling guilty that I was so late and caused so much trouble, I pushed the gas pedal down and made the truck go a little bit faster. The city wasn’t too far, but we still had to get back and get the driveway done before it got too hot. It was going to be one of those summers if it was already getting so hot in the daytime.
Chapter 2
Melanie
“Can I help you?”
“No, I’m good, thanks.”
“You sure are. I’ve been watching you and it looks like you’re here all alone. You must need some company.”
“I’m good on the company part. I know you’ve been watching me. You aren’t very slick about it at all. You know it’s not nice to stare, right?”
He chuckled at me and introduced himself as PJ. I didn’t know him, but he was the third one to come and try to talk to me while I waited on my ride since touchdown. I didn’t think I was letting off a vibe that told the world that I wanted some company, but I could be wrong because PJ was now here and didn’t appear to be leaving any time soon.
I was close to taking a cab and if I thought I had the cash on me I would have. Mom could always pay for it when I got there. If they hadn’t already said that they were on their way, my brother and his friend Carl, then I would have already left. Guys like PJ were getting on my nerves, but there was nowhere else to wait but inside. Outside had been even worse. The heat made it sticky and my irritation had gone up a lot faster.
“So are you from around here?”
He was talking again and I realized as he sat down next to me that he wasn’t going to take the hint, so I might as well try to start a bit of a conversation with him. It would at least make the time go a little bit faster until Scott got here. I was going to kill him when he got here. He was always late.
“Yeah, I’m from here originally, but I haven’t been home in a while.”
“What brings you here?”
That was another question with a lot of different answers, none of which I wanted to share with a complete stranger. “Things just got weird and I wanted to come home I guess.”
“You single?”
I sighed to myself and looked out the tall, floor to ceiling windows in hopes that Scott would appear and this guy would go away.
“Yes, I am.”
That was something new and I still wasn’t used to being single again. I’d been with someone for almost two years now, so being alone was something new and I should have kept that excuse for PJ because it seemed to work mighty well.
“We should get together soon. I’ll be here for a week before I have to go back to the office.”
I caught a glance of something on his finger that made me want to talk to him even less. He didn’t have a ring on his finger, but he did have a curious tan line on a certain digit. It told me that he had a little wife at home and possibly some kids that he wasn’t thinking about. I didn’t want a man like him. I apparently had already had one and it hadn’t worked out that entirely well as far as I was concerned.
“I don’t think that would be a good idea PJ, I doubt your wife would like it.”
He looked around like cameras were going to come out like on that cheating show and I watched him bounce out of the seat so fast.
“How do you know about her?”
“I didn’t, not really, but I do now. You have a good day PJ.”
I smiled at him and he didn’t smile back at me. He didn’t seem to like my humor, but I was glad for some peace and quiet finally. I hadn’t wanted to do that, but there was no way that I was going to entertain the idea either.
PJ was about to say something that I wasn’t going to like. I could see it in his face, but he stopped when he saw Scott walking up. Scott was a big guy and no one really messed with him because he was a scary guy as well. I was happy to see him and I was thankful that he showed up when he did, even though it was his tardiness that left me with waiting with the likes of PJ anyways.
“Hey Scott. Are you ready?”
He said he was, while he eyed PJ who was still looking back and giving me a dirty look. I don’t know what was going through his mind, but I was glad that I didn’t have to stay here by myself and find out. The place was packed, but there was something about the guy that had turned me off to it all and made me shiver inside.
“Is this guy causing you any trouble?”
I looked back at PJ and told him no. “No big deal. It was just some married guy that was trying to find some tail while he was away from his wife. Feel sorry for her.”
He just looked at me like he wanted to cover his ears and say la-la-la over and over again so he couldn’t hear me.
“Would you stop please?”
“What?” I didn’t know what he was talking about.
“You know, talking about guys trying to get some tail with my sister.”
He made me laugh because he was so uptight about it. The way he acted, I would have thought that I was fourteen still. He was so protective and I couldn’t help but wish that he’d been around a week ago when I found out about Dustin. That would have been helpful, but he was a thousand miles away and I was meant to deal with it on my own.
I hadn’t done so well with it, but in my defense, well it was a lot to take.
“Well he didn’t have a chance, so don’t worry about it.”
He looked worried and that made me smile a little bit more. It was hard to tell, but I knew that he cared, even if he was more comfortable thinking that I was not a girl at all. His friends had flirted with me last time I was down for the summer last year and it had been hilarious to realize that my brother was so freaked out by it.
“Let’s get you home.”
I giggled again. My brother was content to hide me away at home, just like dad when he sent me to boarding school across the country. Some things never changed and the men in my family were one of those things.
Chapter 3
Carl
“What the hell was that anyways Mel? That guy was a creep.”
“I don’t know what you are talking about Scott. I didn’t w
ant him around me, but I can’t just make people go away. I told you that I didn’t know who he was. He was just some married guy that was hitting on me.”
They were walking back to the car and I looked over when I heard Scott’s voice. He was walking with his sister and I wouldn’t have recognized her as that if I wouldn’t have known already. She’d changed a lot since I’d seen her last. Every bit of her was different, except those emerald eyes that caught mine before she looked down quickly. That would have made me recognize her because it was something that she had done many times before.
I didn’t know what the two of them were talking about, but the conversation was holding less of my attention as I took in the woman before me, and I was right in thinking that she was all grown up now. I just hadn’t thought that the gangly girl that I’d seen last would ever look like the woman in front of me now.
She was taller than I remembered and still wispy in her body, but she had curves now that weren’t there before. Her breasts were subtle and swaying as she walked the last few feet to me. I was staring, I know I was because I could have counted all of the freckles on her cheeks; I looked so long at her face, trying to see the resemblance to the girl that I’d once known. It was almost like I was trying to compute in my head that she really was who I knew her to be. It was hard to do it, really hard.
“Carl you remember Mel, Mel, Carl.”
I smiled at her and wasn’t sure what to do. It felt like something was in order, but I wasn’t sure what. She’d come to me once and bared her soul to me and I hadn’t handled it very well. It was right before she went to boarding school and she was very young. I had pushed her aside in a way that was callous and now, more than ever I had changed the way I’d done it. Now I wished that I’d given thought to what I was saying to her, because now she was all grown up and probably hated me.
“You ready to go?”
Scott was a bit louder than he had to be and I avoided his eyes, sure that he had caught me staring down his sister. I knew how protective he was of her and the last thing that I wanted to do was get him pissed off at me, but damn, hadn’t seen that one coming. Who would have known that the teen that I told to buzz off six years ago would look like that? She had already gotten her revenge without lifting a finger to do so in just being.
