I spent a wonderful weekend with my handsome husband, Tommy. We slept in. We walked hand-in-hand. We ate fantastic meals together. We fucked like wild animals.
I also spent most of the weekend trying not to think about my brother, Jack, who was apparently also off screwing himself silly. Jack had been "abducted" by my best friend, Yolanda.
Over the years, Yolanda had made it a habit to faithfully chronicle to me all of the filthy things she liked to do with men. Don't get me wrong, it loved to hear it all. But, now that the guy was my brother, the thought of her catalogue of exploits was driving me a little crazy.
Also, after a week of "sexual ping-pong" between Jack and Tommy, I kind of missed the thrill that Jack's presence around our apartment brought to me on a daily basis. In reality, I had no reason to complain. I had explicitly told Jack that (as brother and sister) we could not continue fooling around. I had also encouraged him to go out with Yolanda. But still...
I expected Jack home Sunday night. When he didn't return, I was disappointed if for no other reason than to find out what he and Yolanda had done together. Tommy wanted to fuck. I feigned a headache and went to bed early.
The next morning, I kissed Tom good-bye for work. I was sitting around as blue as could be when the phone rang. I saw from the caller ID that it was from Yolanda.
"You slut," I said. "What have you done to my poor brother."
I heard Yolanda laugh and say to Jack, "Ooh, your sister just called me a slut." Yolanda then addressed the receiver. "Hi, honey. Don't worry about your brother. Yolanda's taking good care of him."
"Yeah, I know what you're doing to him," I replied sarcastically. "By the way," I said, moderating my tone. "What ARE you doing to him?"
"Wouldn't you like to know," she said wickedly. "Right now, we are just sitting around having a bite."
"Tell Jack to watch out. I know what you like to bite," I replied with a smile.
"Now, that's not nice Amy," Yolanda teased. "And we were just calling you to come over and hang out with us."
"Hmm? Now that's an interesting invitation," I said. "What does this involve?"
"Come on over, sweetie," Yolanda purred. "I miss you. Your brother wants to see you as well."
"I'll think about it," I said mysteriously.
"Good," Yolanda replied definitively. "We'll see you in a little while. Bye-bye."
"I said I'll think about it."
After I hung up, I pondered what that call really meant. If I went to Yolanda's, what was I after. I certainly was not going to try to sexually contend with my best friend for my brother's affections.
What was this visit all about? Honestly, I had no idea.
****
When I rang Yolanda's door bell, I could hear her shout "She's here!" I then heard Yolanda run over to the door and yank it open.
"Ohh! We're so glad you're here," she exclaimed.
Yolanda was wearing a yellow, silky dressing gown. Jack was lounging on the couch wearing a pair of Yolanda's pink sweat pants and apparently nothing else.
"I think I'm interrupting," I said hesitantly. I looked at Jack. He would not meet my gaze.
"Don't be silly, Amy," Yolanda insisted. "We've both missed you this weekend. We thought it would be wonderful to spend some time with you."
"Jack is clearly not comfortable with me being here," I said, indicating my brother who remained on the couch looking down at the carpet.
"Honey," Yolanda addressed me placing her hand on my arm. "Jack told me about all things you two are doing to each other."
I feigned ignorance. "Wh-what do you mean, Yolanda?"
Yolanda put her hands on both of my shoulders. "Amy, I know."
I burst into tears. "How could you?" I spat at Jack. I turned and headed toward the door.
Yolanda grabbed me and spun me back around. Jack sprang to his feet and came over to us. The two of them put their arms around me.
"Amy," Jack said. "I love you so much. Yolanda does, too. That's why I shared our love with her. She's your best friend."
"That's right, baby," Yolanda said gently. "I think it's great. I'm all for anything that makes you happy, Amy."
The two put their arms around my shoulders and back. They walked me back toward the couch and the three of us sat together. Jack and Yolanda were on either side of me. I continued to weep.
