Evie woke and was excited she was now 18. She looked at herself in the mirror, inevitably comparing herself to the girls she saw showing themselves on social media. Not for the first time, she examined her firm rounded breasts, her pert buttocks and narrow hips. Pleasingly, she felt she was fortunate that her back, naturally had a pronounced arch, emphasising the curves of her slim figure. Her tight backside complemented her firm young breasts, pushing out in a provocative display of femininity. Her thin waist and slender arms and legs made her seem slightly top-heavy, but she felt it was a pleasing impression. She'd had comments that she could pass as her mother's younger sister and she always thought of her mother is a beautiful woman, which she still was at only 34. Evie was slightly taller than her mother, at around 5 ft 2, and thinner, being only 47 kg, while her mother was 54kg. There was no one else in her family to compare herself with, as she had no aunties or sisters.
She looked more closely at her face in the mirror. There were still a few freckles on her high cheekbones, that annoyed her despite comments that others found them cute. Her hair was light brown with a few naturally blonde streaks, and fell past her shoulders, ending just above her soft pink nipples. Her pink lips were a little more prominent than she liked; almost like she wore a light shade of lip-gloss. Her upturned nose had always annoyed her, completing the girlish cute persona, she wanted to shake off. Yet, her wide-spaced, large, darkish blue eyes with long eyelashes, were the envy of almost all the girls. She plucked an errant hair from her left eyebrow and turned her attention downwards.
She gripped her breasts, squeezing them, which always gave her a little erotic buzz, as she imagined a boy might like to grasp them one day. After today, she realised, the choice would be finally be hers alone, at 18. She could have had sex from 16, of course, but the boys at school were so -- childish! Evie had a light blonde bush, and there was a gap between her legs, even when she stood with her legs closed, like today. She took a couple of quick photos with her phone. One of her nude, facing the camera, another from the side and another of her pussy. She checked them in intricate detail, searching for the flaws she always focused on.
"Yep," she judged harshly,"I have an innie, you can't even see my clit or anything and look at my breasts and bum, they both stick out too far. I'm all tits and arse, with my little waist. How weird and embarrassing and my little pink nipples poke up. I look strange, no one would like me."
The door to her bungalow suddenly opened and she turned to see her mother and Neil, the live-in boyfriend, ogling at her through the door.
"Happy -- Bir... Oh, sorry, baby," Niki said. Her mother not realising that Evie was out of bed. "We are just going to the shops... and we just wanted to say happy birthday."
"OMG! Mum, close the door! Privacy please!" Evie shouted, as the door slowly closed, trying to find something to cover herself with. "Is that Neil... did he SEE me? How embarrassing!"
Neil chuckled slightly, he had watched Evie develop spectacularly over the past 12 months, catching a tantalising glimpse of her nubile young body.
"Nah!" he said, laughing. "Didn't see anything -- except the hot girl in there with you."
"Liar!" Evie shouted through the gap in the door. "Pervert!"
"Let's not start that, you two!" Niki interrupted, before adding, with a smile. "Happy birthday, darling. Anyway, you don't have anything you need to hide. You know you're gorgeous."
"That's for sure!" said Neil, emphatically, to a punch on his arm from his partner.
"Do you want anything at the shops for tonight?" Niki asked. "Uncle Ben is coming over to celebrate with us - with Jason! Do you want to invite Rosey?"
"Umm, mum... can I have some of those Vodka Cruisers you like so much? I'm eighteen today. I'll see Rosey another day. Jason would probably try to sleaze onto her!"
"OK, darling, I'll pick up a few things." her mum said. "See you soon."
In the Toyota Camry, Niki and Neil made a quick budget calculation, being quite low on cash. Neil called his brother to bring the alcohol, so they could get a nice cake.
"So, did you see her?" Niki asked, looking across at her partner.
"I saw nothing...," Neil replied, laughing. "Much!"
"Oh, god, you are a pervert." She laughed.
"Only from the side," he added. "She looks like how you look... or would have looked!" He reached over and squeezed her right breast as she pushed his hand away.
"Firm tits, cute little bum," he announced.
"Yep, you are a pervert!" she concluded, smiling at him.
"You know it!" he said, smiling. "It won't be long you know."
"What won't be long?" Niki asked, looking at him curiously.
"I dunno! Boyfriend, older guy... everyone is going to hit on her now she's eighteen. If they aren't already!"
"Neil," Niki scolded. "She is just a schoolgirl."
"Sure, sure... maybe she follows after her mum - when did you first, you know... fuck?"
Niki went silent, they both knew she was fifteen; although she had lied to him about exactly when, and who, and how many in total, and quite a lot of things. She had to leave school at 16 to have Evie, then work her way back into training as an assistant nurse. Neil irritated her at times like this, Niki often thought that she should have dated one of the doctors that had approached her at her country hospital in Bairnsdale. She'd just found them to be so full of themselves, and none of the doctors were from the country town like her.
Neil's brother, Ben, on the other hand, personified the type of man that made the town of Bairnsdale proud. He had played AFL football at centre-half back and when he had taken the small club to the premiership, almost single-handedly at 21, he was drafted as a rookie by Collingwood. He'd played at full-forward for a few weeks and Bairnsdale couldn't stop talking about him at the time. She had to admit that he was the 'hot' one and fun to have around, as his unbridled humour always lifted the mood. Even though Ben hadn't really made it IN the big-time, he had made it TO the big time, so was a local celebrity. No one really knew why he had just quit in Melbourne and returned after a knee injury; although, he was quickly offered the local coaching role. He was also more mature and at 33 was closer to her age than Neil's at 27.
Evie's day passed quickly. She had been on social media for hours, sometimes fielding suggestive comments from the boys in her senior school class. She had showered and dressed in her nicest blue-flowered sundress, put her hair up, done minimalist make-up and spent more than two hours on facetime to Rosie. Rosie thought Evie should now date more seriously and get herself a boyfriend.
Rosie never seemed to have trouble acquiring boyfriends, even from an early age. Evie thought she could wait for someone more permanent and not be like her mother, who seemed to have several boyfriends every year. She didn't want to date one of the losers from school, someone who was still a stupid man-child. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door to her bungalow, it was Niki her mother. She looked at the old digital clock on her wall as it clicked over to 5:30pm.
"Come out darling... Uncle Ben has just driven up the driveway," Nike requested, happily. "Come and say hello."
"Okay," Evie replied. "I'm ready."
They had parked their Toyota Hi-Lux Twin Cab on the front nature strip. Jason, who might have been her cousin, had her mother married Neil, carried a slab of beer and grabbed another from the back of the ute. His uncle Ben had a bag of that seemed to hold presents and two bottles of champagne in his other large hand.
"G'day dickhead," Ben said, good humouredly, hugging his brother, before turning to Niki. "Fuck me! Look at you, babe! You look more gorgeous every time I see you!"
"You know what they say about flattery, Ben!" Niki laughed. "It doesn't get you anywhere."
"Not found that in my world, babe." He replied.
Ben took a few steps towards Niki and grabbed her shoulders, looking her up and down. He focused on her breasts, with nipples that had suddenly decided to stand to attention, now clearly visible through the thin white crop top. Her firm rounded figure was further displayed in a pair of tight light cotton shorts. He pulled her in closely, kissing her on the lips, inappropriately; yet she responded enthusiastically, opening her mouth. Evie gasped at her mother's flirtatiousness. Neil looked away. Ben spun her around quickly and smacked her arse. Niki yelped excitedly, turning her head around and smiling at Ben. She even gave a cheeky wiggle, while she looked back over her shoulder at him.
"Jesus!" Ben exclaimed, smiling at his brother and passing him the bag. "Sorry bro, I couldn't resist. Your missus has such a gorgeous arse."
"Hi," Jason said to anyone listening. "Ben's a bit pissed! That's why I drove."
