I was sitting in the living room of my parents’ home in my Dad’s easy chair having a cup of coffee reading the morning newspaper with one eye and watching the business news on FOX BUSINESS cable channel with the other eye. My younger pretty sister came bouncing into the room and when I looked up at her she said, “Hey, you aren’t you going to do anything productive today?” She just loved to needle me by the use of the term “hey you”. She thought that her principal mission in life was to needle her older brother. She knew that it was my weekend off and I was home visiting with my Mom and Dad and being needled by my impudent little sister. Very likely if she wasn’t so damn pretty and so vivacious I probably would be less likely to put up with her needling.
I immediately shot back, “What’s it to ya, Twerp?” I often referred to her as “twerp” to show her that her needling wasn’t having any effect on me. I might as well have saved my breath as she had flitted out the door like a beautiful summer butterfly before I could even get the words out of my mouth. I don’t know where she was going or for what reason but, it could have just been to give me the idea that she got one over on me again. I know that she had to have a big grin on her face after she got out the door and out of sight thinking she had won another round over big brother.
My name is Mark and I was born and raised in a metropolitan city in a southwestern state along with my sister, Mary, who is about two years younger than I am. My parents moved to this city a couple of years before I was born when my Dad received his degree from a major well known college back east in the Chicago area and he landed a really good paying job here. We all love living here because of the warm, dry climate. It is a little hot in the summer time but, the wonder of refrigerated air conditioning in everyone’s home and in their car solves that problem very nicely. And the rest of the year is really pretty pleasant.
My sister and went I to elementary school and we both graduated from high school here, too. After I graduated from high school and since the state college is located here I was able to go to college in my hometown. I received my college degree and I was able to live at home with my parents all during the time I was in college.
Mary did the same thing as I did. After she graduated from high school she decided to go to college here as well with me. Since both Mary and I were living at home while we went to college it saved our parents a lot of out of pocket costs not having to pay for our separate room and board than if we were in college away from home. If we had gone to college at an out of city or an out of state college or university it would have been a whole lot more expensive for our parents. Our parents could then afford to help us pay for nearly all of our college tuition and fees and other costs. And the state college here in town is nationally recognized and most graduates have no problem getting good paying jobs after graduation.
About a year after I graduated from college my dad was offered a lot better paying job as the head of another division of the company he was working for and our parents moved back east to the Chicago area. I had already found a good paying job here in town and had my own very nice two bedroom apartment while Mary was still living at home and still had one year remaining in college. Mary wanted to finish her college here in town so when our parents moved back east so she moved into my apartment with me to finish her final year in college. Mom and Dad said that they would pay half of my rent for letting Mary move in with me.
I told Mom and Dad that since it was Mary, I would have let her move in with me even if they had not paid any part of my rent. As we were so close in age we were raised to love one another, be close to each other and to look out for one another. In short; I loved my sweet younger sister very much. And Mary and I were very close. All through our toddler years, elementary and high school I always looked after her and protected her. she always wanted to be a part of almost everything that I did. That pleased our parents immensely that we got along so well since we were so close to one another. Little did they know just how close we would get during the time she was in college and later on in our lives?
Mom told us that Mary was a very pretty baby and as she grew through her toddler, adolescent and her high school years she grew up to be even prettier young woman. Mary was their little Princess and was still is the apple of their eyes. She developed into a gorgeous young woman with her just above the shoulder length blond hair, her sparkling sky blue eyes and her fair complexion. She was about 5 Ft.-4 in. tall with the coveted hour glass figure of 36C-24-36 measurements and she always had a very sweet with an affectionate, gentle disposition. She was always easy to get along with and she liked everyone and was well liked by everyone who knew her. But, she has an impudent nature principally with me and she loves to tease me and needle me, too.
Mary never had any problems getting dates in high school as all the boys wanted to go out with her. They also knew that she had an older brother who would not put up with any of them mistreating her in any way so they always treated her very well and with great respect. Mom had talked with her about having sex and told her, “Mary, you need to make sure that you save your virginity for your husband who you know really loves you.” Mom also told her, “If you let some boy get into your panties and get you pregnant it would likely ruin your promising future adult life.”
Mary is very smart; she always made very good grades and had the great potential to do just about anything she wanted to do and set out to do. She had told Mom and Dad, “I have always wanted to go to college and then maybe even go into law school or into medical school.” I knew full well that she would follow through with her aim and make a success out of her life.
Mom told her, “Mary if you let some boy get into your panties, get you pregnant and you have a baby your dreams of going to law school or medical school would likely be out the window and gone with the wind and probably gone forever.”
Mary replied, “I understand, Mom, and I’m not going to let that happen to me, Ok? You know what my aims in life are and I’m not going to let anything like that interfere with my life goals.”
Mary’s friends in high school were very much like she was with respect to her intelligence, her beauty and her fabulous figure. Her best friend from high school, Trisha who resembled Mary in many respects. She was very pretty, she was about the same height and she had that same hour glass figure. Trisha also had those beautiful sparkling blue eyes that melted most guys’ hearts especially mine. In short, she could almost have been a twin sister to Mary, my sister. Trisha, like Mary, was very sweet with an affectionate, gentle disposition, too. I always liked her and being around her and I think that she liked me, too, since she was always very sweet and very friendly to me.
Trisha was just as gorgeous as Mary, she had a pleasing disposition and she never had any problems getting along with others or getting dates just like Mary did. Trisha was an only child and her parents thought the sun rose and set with her. She was their precious baby and their Princess just like Mary was to us. They did everything they could for her and maybe they did too much for her as she kind of led a sheltered life or at least a pampered life anyway.
