It was nearly Christmas and Stephen had done most of his shopping and was looking forward to spending the festive season at his girlfriend's house. Just the two of them. A big turkey, all the trimmings and lots of goodies. He always had cherry wine at Christmas. It was a Christmassy drink and he enjoyed a glass or two as well as the odd mulled wine. He hoped there would be a white Christmas this year. The weather men had promised one, but it never seemed to happen.
He had stopped off for a coffee on the way home. The cafΓ© had free mince pies and he tucked in. They were steeped in brandy and were just what the doctor ordered on such a cold day. As he was draining his cup, his mobile rang. It was his sister.
'Hi Stephen, how are you?'
'Hi Jo, I'm fine thanks, just been shopping for Christmas.'
'Oh, you got me something nice?'
'You'll just have to wait and see!'
'Ha ha OK.'
'Anyway, wondered if you could do me a favour.'
'Yes, what is it?'
'Well I have to go to see a friend in hospital. It's not looking good, but the hospital is in Birmingham.'
'Oh, sorry to her that.'
'Yes, the thing is Vicky has a friend over from school and I can't just leave them for three hours, do you mind if I drop them round. You can keep them entertained while I'm away.'
'Yeah sure, can you give me 20 minutes to get home?'
'Of course, see you in a bit then.'
'OK.'
Vicky was Stephen's niece. He didn't see her that much, but whenever he did, she seemed to have grown up a bit more. She was in the final year at high school and had seen her on her 18th birthday three months earlier. He had seen more of her when she was younger and helped out looking after her whenever his sister was busy. Her father left when she was really little and Jo, Stephen's sister had done a top job bringing her up on her own.
He had been home for five minutes and was still packing the shopping away when the door bell rang. It was his sister with the two girls.
'I'm really grateful for this Stephen. It wouldn't be fair to leave them alone at short notice.'
'Honestly it's a pleasure.'
He gave his niece a hug and took the other girl's hand..
'This is Amanda, said Vicky, she's my bestie.'
'Oh OK, pleased to meet you.'
'Hmm and you.'
'I'll be off, then.' Said Jo. 'I'll be back as soon as but...'
'It's OK, don't rush, we'll be fine.'
'Bye then.'
'Stephen waved her off and showed the two girls inside.
'Right can I offer you a coffee or something?'
'How about something?' Said Vicky.
'Mmmm...as in?'
'Something stronger.'
'Flip, you're only just legal and now you want drink at three in the afternoon.'
'Honestly Manda, he thinks I'm still a kid.'
'Ha ha, we're big girls Stephen. Have you got some wine?'
Amanda looked at him coyly and licked her lips.
Stephen was slightly wary of giving two eighteen year olds alcohol and wasn't sure what his sister would make of it. He didn't want to appear to be the boring old uncle but at the same time had a sense of responsibility.
'You're not worried we'll get out of hand are you unc?'
Vicky looked somewhat charming and mischievous as she said this. She had just past shoulder-length blonde hair, light blue eyes and a fair complexion. Amanda had a Mediterranean appearance and was frankly quite a looker with her long brown hair and hazel eyes.
Both girls were well developed and Vicky particularly sported a fine pair of boobs, which Stephen did his best not to notice, since she was his niece, but he was still a man and it was difficult.
'Oh go one Stephen, don't be boring! We'll be good honest.' Vicky could be very persuasive and he felt a little pressured and gave in.
