Like most kids, I loved college because it gave me the opportunity to get away from home. Now I wasn't a party animal like my sister, but I still had more than a few blackout drunk nights and one night stands. Coming home during the summer was always a mixed bag for me then. Obviously I loved my parents and getting to see my sister, but it did mean that my freedom was pretty limited. Those limits of my tolerance were put to the test during the summer after my sophomore year.
I had turned 20 shortly before coming home, and my older sister Lily's 21st was just after that. We were born less than a year apart, so my parents must have been real horn-dogs when they were younger (I guess they realized the error of their ways after us two, before it really got out of hand).
This year would be a little bit different too. My parents called me the day before I left to tell me that my aunt (Dad's sister) and her family had huge amounts of mold discovered in their apartment building. They had to leave for over a month, and since my parents had a big home, were staying with them.
Now, I don't mind my extended family at all, and all of my cousins were between 13 and 8 (so thank god for no screaming toddlers), so on its own, that's not a big deal. But it still meant more people and less potential fun for me. I would probably never get laid over the summer with this many people at the house.
Lily had been home for a few days when I flew in, and the whole gang greeted me at the airport. We went out to a really nice dinner that night as a late celebration of both Lily and my birthdays, before heading home for the night. It was only 11:00, so I of course was ready to party for another 3 or 4 hours, and I knew Lily was as well, but that's just part of the trade-off of being home (that and I had forgotten my fake ID in the dorms).
My dad pulled us into the driveway, followed by my uncle-in-law behind him and we all sauntered into the house. My cousins went to bed, and he poured all the adults except my mom a small nightcap. I downed the whiskey quickly and faced the reality that I would have to unpack, one of my least favorite things in the world.
I grabbed my suitcase and started walking towards the basement, which had been converted into a bedroom for me when I turned 12.
"Oh, honey, you can't sleep down there!" my mom called when she saw me heading for the door.
I turned to face her, confused. "Why?" I opened the door, flipped the switch, and looked down.
"Well, your father converted it into a man-cave this winter. He wanted a place to watch hockey and football with his buddies."
What I saw confirmed what Mom was telling me.
"Dad!" I yelled. "Why didn't you tell me you got rid of my bedroom? That would have been pertinent information to know!"
My dad was always a very calm and chill dude, and didn't seem fazed at all by my frustration. "Well, we didn't think it was that big of a deal. We just moved your stuff to the spare bedroom."
Ugh. I hated that room. It was so cramped and dreary.
"Well, fine, I'll take my stuff up then. But this is ridiculous! I should have at least been warned."
"Um..." my aunt began. "I don't think you're supposed to take the guest bedroom."
"Why's that?" I asked. The stomping of multiple sets of children's feet upstairs coming from that area told me exactly why.
"So where am I staying?" I asked.
"Well Darren and Auntie Carol have been sleeping on the pull-out, so unless you want the recliner, you're going to have to sleep with your sister." My dads voice petered out near the end.
"What? That is complete bullshit! Lily and I are grown women, we can't fit on a double bed."
"Jade, please calm down. It's just a temporary arrangement until their apartment is ready again."
"Yeah, I get that, and I'm not frustrated at you guys-" I directed this to Darren and Auntie. It really wasn't their fault. "But mom, dad, you could have at least told me."
"Well, sweetie, we didn't think it was that big of a deal. You've slept with your sister before," Mom chimed in.
"When we were-" I sighed. It was a fruitless argument, one I knew I would end up losing. "Why aren't you complaining?" I asked Lily.
She shrugged, acting much more cool about it than I would have imagined, although I figured she had to have already known. Probably the biggest reason I was opposed to sharing the bed was the fact that I could no longer masturbate whenever I wanted to, and Lily would have to be in the same boat, so I figured she would be protesting more.
Another thing that did occur to me, even if only subconsciously, was that Lily was bi. Now I knew rationally that it didn't matter, but I had slept around enough to know that I was sexy, and sometimes people have irrational urges. But that wouldn't matter anyway.
"Mom's right. We've seen each other naked a bunch of times. It'll be fine."
She almost sounded a little too enthusiastic. And to be honest, the narcissist in me couldn't blame her. I was 5'4" and just a hair under 115 pounds. I had long black hair, which I usually kept in pigtails to make me seem more innocent, I guess. I thought I had a pretty face, good enough to get me a shit-ton of Tinder matches if nothing else. But the real kicker came in the form of my D-cup boobs, which definitely seemed to get me farthest with the guys. They were pretty firm and perky with large areolas, puffy nipples, and a perfect tear-drop shape, and definitely accentuated my hour-glass figure.
Lily was very beautiful herself. She was an inch shorter, but more slender. Her long, straight black hair was filled with lighter brown and blonde highlights, which complemented her darker skin tone very well (our maternal grandmother was Puerto Rican, and while I ended up quite pasty, Lily inherited more of the Latin genes and had a wonderful tanned complexion, something I always was jealous of).
As karmic balance, she was outfitted with small boobs, around a B, although her nipples were very prominent (and could be clearly distinguished in a thin shirt without a bra). She worked out often for a nice butt to round out her figure and not make her totally flat. The only things betraying her all-natural stunner look were a fleur-de-lys tattoo on her right wrist and a larger, elaborate horned crown just above her butt (both relics of her rebellious senior year phase).
"Ugggh." I resigned myself to my fate, but I wasn't going to be happy about it. "Fine, I'll take my suitcase up to Lily's room. Do I at least get to split the closet?"
