Haley slammed on the brakes with a gasp. She instinctively reached a protective arm across me in the passenger seat. My head jerked up from the book I was reading, certain I'd see a cliffs edge or an imminent collision. But we'd simply come to a jarring halt for a traffic jam. The cars ahead of us extended in a long-- and much too stationary-- line.
"Jeez, I thought we were going to crash." I sighed.
"Sorry, it's a habit." Haley replied. She readjusted her seatbelt, which had pulled the neck of her shirt down sharply. I caught a generous glimpse of the top of her breasts before she fixed the neckline. The summer sun gleamed off her supple flesh and cast enticing shadows as well, practically burning the moment into my mind. I said something out of embarrassment.
"Learned it from mom, I bet? She's always doing that to keep her purse in the seat. Even if she's just stopping at a light."
Haley glanced at me. "I'm surprised I did it then. You aren't nearly as precious as my purse."
I looked out my window and gave a sarcastic laugh.
"I think it's just something parents do." She continued. "Whenever my little J is in the front seat, I do that. Mom probably over-generalized from us to her most important possessions."
"I guess that makes sense." I said, not really expecting the thorough response. I was focused on the winding road ahead; Packed with cars and trucks; And the fact that none of us were moving.
"What's with this traffic? We're basically in the middle of a highway."
Haley checked the GPS. "This says Clenmore is about a mile ahead." She groaned. "This always happens on Sundays. I think its because everyone needs to come through this tiny town to get back into the city suburbs for work on Monday."
I nodded, didn't say anything back. I picked my book up off the car floor which had landed open, face down. A few of the pages had gotten creased and dirty. Haley noticed.
"Oh, sorry about your book, bro."
"It's alright, It was a dirty book beforehand, too."
She smirked and shook her head. We sat in silence for a while, lurching forward in a slow rhythm as the jam miserably proceeded. The progress felt insignificant, and it nagged at my mind so I couldn't focus on reading. (Traffic is the primary reason I, personally, can't have nice things.)
Bored, I began to roll my window up and down to the beat in my head. I was going at it for quite a while, too.
Suddenly it stopped working while all the way up. I clicked it a few more times before turning to my sister and expressing confusion.
"If you act like a child, I'll treat you like one." She said.
It took me a moment to figure out. "You turned the child lock on."
Haley didn't respond, but her coy smile gave her away.
"Fine, I wanted it like this, anyway." I said.
I put my chin in my hand and elbow on the door, as pouting younger brothers tend to do. Another couple silent seconds later and my window slid down the entire way, but my buttons were useless when I tried to stop it.
"Oh my God!" I groaned with annoyance.
"I wanted some fresh air. And like I said, babies get bottles!"
I wasn't that upset. It was just typical sibling rivalry. I just shook my head and continued my stoic surveillance of this particular section of roadside.
With all the cars hardly moving, the sounds of the green mountains around us poured through the window. Soft leaves rustling, the occasional chirp of birds.
And abruptly, the wail of a child coming from behind our car. Someone nearby was having a rough first family road trip.
"Oh, shit."
"What is it?" I asked, watching a bird hop along the wood's edge amongst milkthistle and wild grasses.
"Um, don't look." My sister said hastily.
The sound of a seatbelt coming unbuckled.
I, of course, looked. Haley was out of her seat, leaning over the center console, rummaging through the backseat baggage. Her attention was preoccupied by the search while I stared.
Her chest was only a few inches from my face, and the way she leaned and jostled her arms caused her breasts to tremble beneath her shape-hugging V-neck. This on its own would have been a great sight to behold.
However, in addition to this, two dark, wet blotches had appeared on her shirt. It was none other than her milk, bursting forth from large, lip-ready nipples after a subconscious reaction to the sound of a baby's need.
These milk stains revealed the exact location of her nipples, and the wetness clung to them, creating notable dimples across the taut, curves of her heavy chest. Even for the split-seconds of beholding this vision, I saw the wetness extending, the milk apparently pumping so quickly that rivulets slid down the inside of her shirt, leaving scandalous dark streaks.
I wanted nothing more than to grab the hem of her shirt and lift it up, fighting it over her sodden bosom to unleash more than just my pent up desire for my older sister.
Instead, I swiftly turned away so she wouldn't see that I saw. She continued to search in vain until a quick honk behind us forced her to sit back down and inch forward the 10 feet that had since been released from the jam. The unnecessary honk was probably from the same car that had the crying kid.
