I was packing for my yearly family vacation in Myrtle Beach, SC when my phone rang. It was my mom. I lived in Cleveland and my parents lived in Portland with my sister. I glanced at my watch and saw it was 8am, making it 4am there. What in the world could she possibly be calling me for?
I answered the phone, "Hi mom, is something wrong?"
There was a long pause, before she answered, "No dear, nothing is wrong, you haven't left for the beach yet have you?"
"No I haven't, I planned on leaving around 9, which would put me there around 10 tonight." It was only Monday morning, but since I was a computer programmer, who worked remotely, I was planning on getting to the beach early, and relaxing for a few days before the rest of the family showed up on Friday. My family can be.... a lot sometimes, and I wanted some time alone to myself beforehand, my mom knew this.
"Oh good!" She replied, I could hear the excitement in her voice, I wasn't entirely sure I liked where this was going.
"I was talking to my sister, and you know she got a divorce a few months ago, and her ex-husband never wanted to attend the family vacation so she hasn't been to the beach with us in years."
My Aunt Victoria, she was my mother's much younger sister. 17 years younger I think, I hadn't seen or heard from her much. She got married when I was 14. Her and her husband, now ex-husband I guess, live in Pittsburgh, PA. Which isn't too far from me actually. I could see where this was going.
"Well dear, she really wanted to join us on vacation, and since she's a teacher, she's still off for the summer."
"Uh huh, I see..." was all I could respond with. While I was still throwing things I probably didn't need into a suitcase.
"She tried to book a room for herself but, as you can guess the hotel was completely booked up, even the hotels near us."
"I guess that makes sense mom, but what's this got to do with me?"
"I'm getting to that, I was thinking that since Pittsburgh is kinda on the way, and you already have a room to yourself, I thought maybe you'd be willing to pick her up and drive her down, then she could stay with you until we get there on Friday. Then when we all get there, we could figure something else out."
When my mom said this, I'm not entirely sure why my mind jumped to her wedding day, but I think that was the last time I saw my aunt. She looked so beautiful. She was tall with red hair, and freckles. Her husband was older than her, and already had 3 kids from a previous marriage. She never had any kids of her own. That was 6 years ago. All of the sudden I started feeling very sad for her. I'm not sure what happened with her marriage, but she must be devastated about it.
"Yea sure mom, that sounds great. I would love the company actually." Was the first thing that popped into my head, so that's what I said. Well actually it was the second thing, how beautiful I thought my aunt was on her wedding day was the first thing.
"Are you sure honey? I thought you were going to at least need some convincing." My mom replied.
"Yea I'm sure, my room has two beds. It might be a little weird at first, but I'm sure she could use the company herself."
My mom was so happy that I was okay with it. I will admit, I have always been a bit of a loner, the fact I was so willing to let my aunt stay with me was a bit out of character. But really, I just couldn't push the picture of her on her wedding day out of my mind. I get that I was just a 14-year-old boy at the time. I wondered if she was still as pretty as she was back then.
My mom gave me her sister's number, and told me to call her as soon as we hung up. She was expecting my call. Which told me, my mom wasn't going to give up until I agreed to let her sister stay with me. I'm glad I thought it was a good idea too.
I told my mom I loved her, and that I'd see her on Friday at the airport.
I hung up, and finished packing up the last of my stuff. I sat down on the couch and looked at my aunt's number. I haven't talked to her in so long, she was basically a stranger to me.
I stared at the number for a while, before dialing. It only rang once before I heard a soft woman's voice answer.
"Hello....?"
When I heard her voice, it was almost like something inside my chest exploded. All of the sudden I couldn't think, I didn't know what to say. I sat there in silence for a long moment.
"Aunt Victoria? It's me Zach." was all that I could muster.
"Oh Zach! Please call me Tori. You made me wait for so long, I feared the worst."
I explained to her that her staying with me until Friday was a great idea, and I'd love the company. I think she was crying, but I couldn't tell if that's how she always sounded or not. I told her I was just about to leave, and it should take me about two hours to get to her place.
I didn't really know that much about my Aunt. I was kinda in a daze though, packing up my stuff into my car, and leaving. I was trying my hardest to remember everything I could about my Aunt. She got married young, to an older man. I know she was pregnant when she got married, but had a miscarriage shortly afterward. I remember my sister and my mom talking about it, but I wasn't really listening. I think her ex-husband was already dating, or maybe remarried already. What a tool. Fuck that guy.
I pulled up to my aunt's house. It was a small one- or two-bedroom cottage style house, just outside the city. It was a beautiful day out, and her front door was open. I double checked the address, to make sure it was the right place before heading up to the front door. It was about 11 o'clock. I knocked, but didn't hear an answer.
"Aunt Victoria...?" I called into the door.
I heard a reply in the distance, but couldn't make it out. I think she said to come on in. The screen door wasn't locked so I let myself in. I was soon greeted by my aunt in nothing more than a towel. Shampoo still covering her dark red hair, shaving cream on her legs. My heart jumped into my throat. I didn't know what to say.
She quickly said, "Oh, I couldn't remember if I locked the door or not, I thought I had more time, I haven't even finished packing yet. You know what, just throw everything on the bed into the suitcase while I finish showing and we can be out of here in no time. She disappeared into the bathroom which connected to the hallway. The only bedroom was directly across from the bathroom. She left the bathroom door open as she striped off the towel and stepped back into the shower.
She left the door open so we could talk while she showered. She had one of those showers with sliding glass doors, that let you see the person showering pretty easily, but the steam in the shower prevented her from seeing me. She was absolutely the most beautiful thing I had ever seen...... what the fuck was wrong with me.
I stopped spying on her in the shower, and stepped into her bedroom. She continued to offer small talk while she showered, and I surveyed her room. She asked me if I had a girlfriend, or any kind of special person my life. To which I replied, nope, just me.
I looked around the room. It was an explosion of last-minute traveling decisions. Countless pairs of panties and bras were everywhere. About 5 bathing suits, sun dresses, slacks, skirts, pants, shorts, hats were everywhere.
There was no way everything was going to fit.
