Dave sat back, surveying the crowd. "God I hate these things!" he thought. Family reunions are always a horrifying event for an eighteen-year-old. He wanted to be home, trying to convince Ashley Stephens to take her underwear off. It hadn't worked yet, but he was trying. He had screwed up high school so badly he was forced to go to community college for two years to have any chance of getting into a real college. He was trying to find someone, anyone who looked like they hated this as much as himself. As he sat, staring off in the distance, he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"You look like you hate this as much as I do!" said the voice behind him. He turned and found a boob pressed against his nose. He quickly backed away and stood up, looking at the giggling girl.
"Sorry. These things get in the way sometimes. Hi. I'm Leigh, spelled like Vivian. I belong to Martha and George over there by the coolers."
"Hi, I'm Dave. I belong to Susan and Pete over there by the bags." He took a quick survey: Long red hair, large breasts, just tall enough to fit her curves, green eyes that were laughing at him. "What?" he said.
"You're staring. I'm your cousin, you should never come to a family reunion to pick up girls." she said with a smile. Dave blushed, but they began chatting.
After a while, they figured out they were third cousins, and that she was two years older than him. "So Vivian Leigh, what should we do to entertain ourselves during this torture?" Dave asked.
Leigh looked at him, obviously trying to make a decision. "Would you like a drink?" she asked.
"Depends on what it is." Dave said. She pulled the tip of a bottle of schnapps out of her pants pocket and looked at him with eyebrows raised. He nodded, and they walked away to find a safe spot.
They took a short walk into the woods, and once they were out of sight of the adults, opened it up. "This is some good shit." Leigh said. "My ex gave it to me, so I don't feel bad after he broke up with me. Doesn't matter, I'm going to college in the fall anyway. Who needs him?"
"What kind of moron breaks up with a girl that looks like you?" Dave asked, then immediately blushed. Was he flirting with his cousin?
Leigh looked at him "A really stupid moron. I'm GREAT!" After a bit, they decided they should rejoin the party so no one would look for them. "This was fun!" she said, "I have one decent person to see next year."
She leaned in to give him a kiss on the cheek, and he wasn't expecting that. He turned his head to talk to her and their lips met...and met....and met. "WOW...if the boys in my high school could kiss like that, I'd be barefoot and pregnant right now!" she laughed, finally pulling away. Dave just stared, mouth still open. He had never been kissed like that before.
They walked back to the group, and Leigh put a hand on his arm. "Same time next year?" she asked.
"Absolutely. Wouldn't miss it for the world." Dave said with a grin. They spent the rest of the day with their families, sharing a few smiles across the park.
The next year went by for all, Dave never did get Ashley's underwear off, but he did find a few takers. One more year of community college and he could go to a real university. He had finally gotten his "Shit in one sock" as his Dad would say. He had mostly forgotten about last year until his mother told him that they were moving the reunion this year to a place with a waterpark and to pack a swimsuit. "I hope Leigh is there....and I hope she has a bikini!" he thought. She was sure nice to look at.
Leigh had started college after taking a year off, found her "freshman 15", and found a few boyfriends. Nobody special though. She learned she hated retail work in her year off. When she heard where they were going, the first though in her head was Dave. At 18, he was tall, skinny, and kinda cute. She wondered if he had grown up and wondered how he would look in his suit. "Stop it! He's your cousin!" she thought, and then remembered that kiss. She hadn't found anyone like that at college!
Everyone arrived, food was dug out, and boredom set in for Dave. He went and put on his trunks to go to the waterpark and began slowly walking down the path towards it.
"Hey, wait!" he heard, turning around. "I didn't think you had shown up this year!" said an out-of-breath Leigh, jogging to catch up. Dave's eyes almost fell out of his head. Leigh was wearing a bikini, one that was clearly struggling to hold her breasts in place as she jogged. "Hey! My eyes are up here!" she said.
"Sorry...but...uh..."
"Never mind, I know what effect these have on boys!" she laughed. They walked together to the park, talking about everything and nothing. "Thank you for coming, I was horrified that I was going to become the designated babysitter!" she said.
"Well, I know I would rather be here with you than back there with any of them!" Dave said. They spent the afternoon swimming, splashing, and having fun.
When it was time to go back, they slung their towels around their shoulders and started walking back. "Hey Dave....I have a weird question" she said.
"Leigh, we've literally talked about everything else. What could be weird now?" he said.
"Last year... umm... Where did you learn to kiss? I wanna shake her hand. That was amazing!" she said, blushing and turning away.
He stopped and grabbed her hand. "I'm sorry about that...it was an accident. It was a great kiss though!" he said, remembering how it had felt.
"Don't be sorry. It was really great. So far no one is better!" she said. He looked at her and couldn't stop himself. They came together slowly, and this time it was intentional. Several minutes later, they pulled back. Leigh began to blush hard, nipples obvious through her suit, and said "Bye Dave, we gotta get back. I...I...really enjoyed our time today." She put her head down, turned and walked quickly back to the party. Dave stood there for a few, willing his erection to go down and wishing she would come back. They only saw each other from a distance the rest of the party.
The next year went by. Dave had finished community college and survived a pregnancy scare with Ashley. He had grown quite a bit more this year, running track and wrestling in community college had filled him out nicely. He was looking at universities but had no real decision yet. This year, the reunion was to be held in cabins up in the mountains. He was looking forward to seeing Leigh again, but he didn't want to admit that to himself. Leigh was home for the summer and had given thought to skipping the reunion until she thought about Dave...and she decided to go.
Dave was packing for the reunion, and he put a fifth of peppermint schnapps he had been given by a friend into his bag as well. He was hoping to share with Leigh. He wondered briefly how she would look topless...and banished the thought. "She's your cousin!" he thought. Still his mind wandered back to the best kiss he had ever had....
Once Leigh's parents arrived at the cabins, they were trying to figure out who slept where. There were several bedrooms in each unit. It turned out that Dave's parents and Leigh's parents were sharing a cabin, but they were one bedroom short. Once Dave's parents showed up, they lovingly volunteered Dave to sleep on the couch. When Dave walked in carrying as many bags as he could, his Mom told him to put their bags in the first room to the left. His bags were to stay in the living room. "MOOOOOOOM! I'm not sleeping on the couch!" he yelled.
His Dad spun around with fire in his eyes "Apologize to your mother RIGHT NOW! You aren't too old for a spanking."
"Sorry Mom. I was upset. I will sleep out here..."
"He can stay on the couch in my room." a voice said behind him. Dave turned to find Leigh behind him with a grin. "I can give him some privacy to change clothes at least!" she said.
"As long as she doesn't mind, that's fine." said his exasperated mother.
