Nonie sat in confusion. They'd been having a reunion--Hal wanted Nonie to meet his little sister Crystalin and her boyfriend Greg, and somewhere along the line, they began talking about their family life.
"Do you remember, Hal?" Crystalin asked, tossing her ash blonde hair. "You were so rebellious that summer, and Mom knew how to remind you that you were her little boy."
"Aah, fuck that stuff." Hal said, embarrassed. Hal was a fairly macho guy, and Nonie had always found him really hot. She was thrilled that they were dating, and believed it might lead to an engagement soon.
She wasn't sure--Hal said things to his buddies like, "If a chick ever asks you what you're thinking, or wants you to meet her mother, just get out of bed and go home."
But Hal seemed to like Nonie a lot. It seemed like he'd screwed most of the girls in the office, and was a wandering jock, but Nonie seemed to challenge him, and they were indeed an item!
And he'd beaten the shit out of a couple of guys in bars when she'd been with him, and one of Hal's buddies told her that he was worse when he was the captain of the Ohio State rugby team.
But of course Nonie, like so many women, loved bad boys.
And that was why this evening was so weird. Crystalin kept going on about their strict mother and how she'd deputized Crys to help with Hal.
"I mean, I was his little sister, but when he came in late, or Mom caught him with porn on the laptop, she would tell him to meet me in the living room, and I'd put him in an adult diaper."
Greg looked at Crys in astonishment. "And he let you do this? You saw him NAKED?"
"You bet your ass." Crystalin said proudly.
Nonie looked over at her big, tough, Henry "Hammerin' Hal" Meehan, and he'd gone silent, and was rubbing one big bicep with his other arm. He wasn't even sipping his beer.
"I'll show you. " Crystalin had cleared off the dining room table, putting dishes and silverware and all that crap in the kitchen, and then she walked over to Hal.
"Let's go, Hal. I bought a box of Depends just for this demonstration."
"No, c'mon, Crys, don't--I don't want to do this. It's such--" Hal paused and looked up at his little sister with trepidation in his eyes.
Jesus, Nonie thought. My guy isn't afraid of anything, is he? The man teaches kickboxing part time.
"Were you going to say bullshit?" Crystalin patted Hal's powerful shoulder, and he stood up, shaking.
"Tell her to go fuck herself, Hal!" shouted Greg, laughing. "If my sister--"
But he'd stood up. Hal was standing there, and Nonie spied a slight bulge in his well cut trousers.
