Andy assured me that what happened between us in the hot tub would never happen again. I felt bad that he felt so guilty, but I wanted even more from him.
Everytime I saw him, my heart skipped and I felt myself blushing. I was always giggling at everything he said and latched onto him more than I ever had before. I could tell he was conflicted about his feelings for me, but I didn't care.
Andy was spending more time back at his place in order to get away from me, but he always came back. We were still best friends, even if things between us got a little awkward now and then.
Two days before Thanksgiving, we worked together to get the house ready for our neat-freak sister Jessica to arrive. This mainly involved dusting her room, as it hadn't been used since last year, and picking up the clothes that I left all over the house.
Since that day was just a cleaning day, I didn't really bother getting fully dressed. I just wore the loose, low cut top I slept in the night before and a pair of boyshorts. And before you say anything, yes, I wanted Andy's attention. As much as he wanted to distance himself from me, I still desperately wanted him to notice me.
Andy helped me with picking up my clothes, but I noticed that he intentionally left my bras and panties alone. Was he really that afraid of getting intimate with me? I didn't know what was going on in his head, as I'd still catch him staring whenever I bent over or whenever I'd fix my top when it was falling down.
After a long day of cleaning, we relaxed on the leather couch in the TV room and watched an action movie that Andy chose. I knew most girls weren't supposed to like action movies, but I loved them. It had everything to do with my lifelong crush on my big brother, but I truly, legitimately enjoyed them as much as he did.
Andy sat next to me as we watched our movie, but didn't make any attempt to touch me. I couldn't take it anymore. I needed Andy to hold me like he used to when we watched movies. Even if nothing sexual happened between us, I just wanted to be close to him.
"I'm cold," I said, as I curled up in a ball and tucked myself underneath his arm. He wrapped his arm around me and pulled me close, reluctantly of course.
Andy grabbed a nearby blanket, handed it over to me, and I gladly accepted it. I gave him a quick "thanks" and kissed him on the cheek. He relaxed and I nestled my head on his shoulder.
"Don't you want to watch the movie?" He asked, slightly amused.
"I don't care about the movie," I sighed. I felt so safe, wrapped in a blanket and pressed against his warm body. My eyelids grew heavy and I tried keeping them open, but I eventually gave up.

There was simply no way I could enjoy the movie with Natalie pressed up against me. For the past two weeks, I had tried to pull off the balancing act of distancing myself from her without alienating her. Each attempt had ended with me always coming back to this house, with Natalie following me around like a lost puppy.
I didn't mind the attention, but I also didn't want a repeat of what happened in the hot tub. Natalie was always so innocent, but in the hot tub I saw a whole new side to her. She was no longer the sweet little girl that I used to protect, but an eager Lolita that wanted me more than anything.
Natalie was now fast asleep in my arms. The blanket she was in had fallen, revealing the low cut top she slept in the night before. I wished that I could read her mind and figure her out. This "outfit" she wore today made it seem like she wanted my attention, but she seemed innocent and oblivious to the effect her attire had on me.
Her top was slipping off (as it had been doing all day), so I pulled up the strap and wrapped her up in the blanket again. I turned the movie off and carried her upstairs to her bedroom. She woke up just as I was walking into her room.
"Hmm? What happened?" She mumbled.
"You fell asleep, I'm going to put you to bed."
"No, I want to stay awake."
I sighed. "Okay."
I placed her on her feet. She stretched, letting the blanket fall off. I had to look away, as her nipples strained through her shirt.
Just then, I got a text message from my agent.
"Who is it?" Natalie asked.
"My agent. Apparently the trailer for my movie came online today and it's pretty popular."
"Awesome! Can I see it?" Natalie's energy had come back quicker than I expected.
"Sure, I'm curious to see how it turned out."
I got my laptop from my room and brought it to Natalie's room. I set it down on her bed and let the trailer load for a bit. Natalie went to the bathroom while we waited. I grew impatient and started to do what I was told never to do: read the video comments.
