"Girlfriend still not talking to you?"
Arthur sighs, but doesn't answer. He'd been enjoying watching basketball with his dog Buddy, and doesn't appreciate Maddie's entrance. Hopefully, if he just ignores her she'll go away.
"Neither of you ever told me what happened between you guys."
He doesn't answer this statement either, but his strategy doesn't appear to be diswading her, as she walks over to stand beside his recliner. He can't help but admire the view out of the corner of his eye. He's never really had a thing for tall girls, and standing at only 5'6", over half of which is her long tanned legs, Arthur has to admit Maddie is just his type.
She's everyone's type, Arthur thinks. The prototypical blonde bombshell, Arthur's wondered more than once if her impressive C-cup chest is real. Her mom certainly has fake tits, it's one of the things his dad enjoys most about being with her. Perhaps she got her daughter a fake pair for her 18th birthday?
"At least Cupid made sure you have somebody kissing you today," Maddie says, bending over into the chair to let Buddy lick her.
As she bends over, practically into his lap, Arthur notices she's wearing much skimpier pajamas than she normally has on around the house. He can't help but admire the unnaturally tanned, silky smooth, long legs she's showing off in her silk romper. The silk tightens up around her waist, perfectly complimenting her curves.
Arthur hadn't been thrilled to move back in with his dad after college; he's been even less happy about it ever since his dad's girlfriend, Kim, and her daughter, Maddie, had moved in with them. But he must admit, having moments like this to ogle their fit bodies makes their presence a little less annoying.
Arthur admires her for one second too long, as she looks up from Buddy and catches him staring.
"I take you like my Valentine's Day outfit?" She stands back up, revealing the front of the light pink romper to Arthur. He can't help but notice how revealing the front is, with her belly button practically showing thanks to several buttons having been left undone.
"Are you actually wearing that out?" Arthur asks.
"No silly," Maddie playfully smacks Arthur's shoulder. "This is just for when you and I are hanging out at home."
Arthur manages to drag his eyes off of her and back on to the TV, unable to think of anything else to say to her.
Arthur's been a lot less vocal about Maddie and Kim living with them for the past few weeks, because of night's like this. Growing up as an only child, Arthur hadn't been used to the teasing that comes along with a little sister. Now that he's gotten used to having her around, he has to admit he's grown a soft spot for Maddie. And he can tell the feeling's more than mutual.
Clearly wanting his attention, and annoyed she's not getting it, Maddie smacks his shoulder again, a little harder this time.
"Move over, I want to watch the game with you."
Arthur looks at her, then pointedly looks at the empty leather recliner beside his own chair. She doesn't seem to take the hint, so Arthur looks down to Buddy and puts both arms around him to pet him.
"I think Buddy's got all the space in this chair occupied," Arthur says, scratching Buddy's ear.
Maddie pouts and makes a show of stomping in front of the TV, over to the other chair, but stays quiet for a few minutes. Despite wanting to watch basketball and enjoying it, Arthur can't keep his eyes from wandering over to the long tanned legs stretching over the side of the chair.
"Who's winning?" Maddie asks after a few minutes.
"Nobody, it's not a game, it's All-Star weekend."
"What's that mean?"
Arthur ignores the question, not in the mood to explain sports to her tonight.
"We should watch this upstairs on the couch."
"The TV's bigger down here, and the surround sounds better," says Arthur.
"But I'm cold in the basement," says Maddie. "We could cuddle on the couch." Arthur glances over and notices the mischievous grin spreading across her face.
"You could put on some warmer clothes if you're cold." Arthur hates himself for saying it, but can't hold the sassy comment back after all the attitude she's been giving him lately.
