Revised from the original. Very little is different. A few spelling and grammar errors were fixed. The setting is no longer Lincoln, Nebraska, but merely any midwestern city or town the reader wants to create.
Monday June 25
Twenty-three year old brunette Emily Petros looked at herself in the mirror of her bathroom. She was an attractive young lady, but after high school she gained over thirty pounds and wasn't happy with her appearance. She stood 5'7" tall and weighed about 180 pounds. This was still a healthy weight, but Emily felt it was time for a change.
Her skin was nearly flawless, although her recent diet would leave her with an occasional blemish. She had a medium olive complexion brought on by her Mediterranean roots. Her face was between round and oval shaped and her big blue eyes looked back at her in the mirror. She was completely naked and squeezed her round C cup breasts. Her quarter sized areola were a light brown and her nipples nearly filled them.
While analyzing her body she noticed her legs could use a shave. She hadn't been dating because she was so busy with class during her college finals. So not only were her long legs a bit hairy, but her vagina sported her hairiest bush in a while.
Sometimes she enjoyed the au-natural look, but preferred to have very little hair on her vagina. She pulled out a small electric trimmer from a vanity drawer and began to manicure her nether region. She trimmed herself over a small waste basket on the floor. Most of the longer pubic hairs were trimmed quite short and her caramel vagina was revealed. It was slightly darker than the rest of her olive skin.
She brushed away some loose hairs and briefly ran her finger over her clitoris. It protruded a bit from her pink opening. The vibration from the trimmer aroused her a little. She smiled and gently ran the electric razor over her legs. She was filling the tub with water and decided she'd finish detailing her pubic region in the tub. The water felt great as she carefully shaved her legs with a blade. She worked her way to shaving her genitals. Shaving her pussy usually made her horny, but she didn't have time to cum. So her focus stayed on finishing the task at hand.
Her younger brother, Kirby, was coming back from his restaurant apprenticeship in Spain and she needed to pick him up from the airport. It was strangely erotic that he slipped into her head while her fingers met her pussy.
She was about to leave from her family's two story Colonial home. They lived in a midwestern suburb. She'd been staying at home since her last semester of college. She'd graduated in the spring and would be there until she found an apartment in the city.
She threw on a yellow t shirt and some khaki shorts over her blue bra and panties. She exited her home and it was a beautiful, early summer morning. She hopped in her vehicle and turned on the radio and became excited about seeing her brother. He'd spent over a year in Spain. They hadn't gotten to see each other much before he left either. Kirby was sharing the same excitement as his plane touched down.
Emily arrived at the terminal and could see her brother exiting the plane. He carried a large, blue duffel bag and wore a backpack.
He was a twenty year old who stood about six foot tall and shared some similar features with his sister. He was clean shaven with dark, shaggy hair that rested at ear level. She noticed he seemed to be dealing with some weight issues as well. He left looking much more athletic, but it seemed working in a restaurant might've made him fat.
He must've weighed about 230 pounds and it wasn't due to muscle. He was still handsome, but looked little like the man his sister saw last. Nonetheless, she ran over and gave her brother a hug. They squeezed each other tight and smiled ear to ear. They shared some common greetings and walked toward the baggage carousel.
The airport wasn't very big, so Kirby was able to retrieve his bags quickly. He brought a few souvenirs back, so Emily needed to help with the extra luggage. The car wasn't very far away, but the heavy bags made the quarter mile journey seem pretty far.
They loaded up the trunk with his bags and threw a couple more things in the back seat. They jumped into the Honda and began talking about the last year of their lives while driving away from the airport. Emily asked, "Did you meet a girlfriend when you were over there in Spain?"
"No, I was at the restaurant the entire time. Hardly got to see any sites. But it was nice that the apprenticeship paid me well. Some don't offer a paycheck at all. I worked long days and barely left the loft. I was also being pretty lazy though. Used work as a convenient excuse to lay around," he explained.
She agreed. "I know what you mean. I'm the same way with school. I took a few extra credits so I could graduate last semester and it really caught up with me."
"Congratulations, by the way. I can't wait to give you your presents when you get back."
"That's so sweet, lil' bro. You didn't have to get me anything. But I'm glad you did."
"My pleasure, sis. So I take it you aren't dating anyone right now. It's been a little while since you and Bobby broke up."
"I'm still single. I've moved on from Bobby, but haven't met anyone else yet." She'd dated Bobby for about two years, but they broke up when she found out he cheated on her. She took it really hard at first. Kirby helped her cope with the incident, although he felt she was a bit dramatic about the situation. Perhaps it was because committed relationships didn't interest him much.
"I think I'll try to get back out there. Before I start my new job in the fall, I really want to take care of myself better. I'm going to be working a part time job at Jean's Floral Shop until I start at the accounting firm. It's only like twelve hours a week. I start next week. With the rest of my free time I'm going to lose twenty pounds." She'd quickly awakened the elephant in the room. The siblings each noticed each others' weight gain immediately. Emily was always a straight shooter, so he wasn't surprised by her approach.
"Yeah. I think I need to lose closer to fifty. I used to swim everyday. Now I'm afraid to be seen in my swimsuit. I probably need the exercise. At least you look good heavier.
I know I look terrible."
"Hey! You need to be nicer to yourself. Negativity isn't going to get you anywhere. Get excited because you just became my workout partner, bro! With some hard work we can really turn things around. Tomorrow, we start our training. Tonight, you're going to put those cooking skills to work."
The two carried on their conversation as they rode through the countryside and suburbia. Emily talked about her university accounting program. The school helped her line up a job downtown. Now she needed help finding an apartment.
