The Nurse

For the first time in my twenty six years, I did not dream. My body, my mind, and my soul were in peaceful slumber. I was in blissful blackness, with not a care in the world, when I heard the shrill ring of my phone.

My eyes were pasted shut, and I felt like I was climbing through cotton to get them to open. When they finally did open, the bright sun light caused me to close them again.

"Oh my god! Leave me alone!" I had no idea who on earth would be calling me. My mind felt like it was swimming in a mud puddle; with no energy to tread the murky water.

The ringing would not stop, and I was becoming irritatingly more awake. I reached over to my nightstand to pick up my phone, my face still buried in my pillow.

"What do you want?" I mumbled. Maybe they would realize they called the wrong number and hang up.

"Jenny? It's ME. You're still not in bed are you? Hello?"

My mind started clicking into gear, and I realized the voice on the other end of the phone sounded vaguely familiar.

"Jenny? Hell--oooo?"

I groaned. "I already asked you, what do you want?"

I heard laughing at the other end of the phone. "Jennifer? Is that any way to talk to your sister?"

My eyes flew open; my brain snapping to reality. My sister! "Maddy?"

I heard laughing again. "Are you still in bed? It's four thirty!"

I rolled over in bed. "Morning or night?"

I forced my eyes open again. I realized from the glare of the sun coming through my windows that it couldn't be morning.

I heard my sister groan. "Jennifer, you have to get up right now! Get dressed and come outside."

"Outside? For what?"

"Because I am outside in your driveway. I have come to take you to the beach."

"I don't wanna go to the beach." I knew I was wining, but I didn't care.

I heard the car horn honking. "Is that you out there making all that noise?"

Maddy laughed again. "Yes, and if you don't promise you are getting up right now I will be forced to make a hell of a lot more noise!"

I groaned. "If I hang up, I am going back to bed."

"I will be forced to throw a brick through your window!"

I gasped. "You wouldn't! I would call the cops!"

"Hmmm, that sounds like a yummy, delicious thought. He would cuff me, use his night stick on me..."

"Enough! God, you obviously are still the same!"

I realized I hadn't seen Maddy in almost a year. I had bought my house, and I moved away. Maddy had gone off to college. It was a shame that we never seemed to make time to get together except for holidays and birthdays.

Maddy giggled again. "Come on!" Now she was whining. I imagined her sticking her lower lip out. She got away with far more stuff than me with that famous pout of hers.

I heard my door bell ringing. "I am giving you ten minutes to get your ass out here."

I was going to spout off my own comment, but I realized the bitch hung up on me.

I threw the phone across the room. I grabbed my pillow and placed it over my ears. Maddy was outside ringing the door bell, nonstop, and pounding on the door.

I knew she would be getting out the bricks soon. I rolled out of bed. I felt like I had been to war and back; my tongue felt fuzzy and thick.

I stumbled to the front door, and I unlocked it. As soon as I opened the door, Maddy came running into the house.

"Hell. You look like shit."

I rolled my eyes. "Thanks. You too."

I didn't mean it, and I knew she knew that. She was beautiful with long brown hair, flawless skin, and big, blue eyes. She was wearing flip flops, cut off shorts, and a tight green tee-shirt. I could clearly see her tits through the thin material. She certainly didn't look twenty years old!

"I was planning on kidnapping you, but honey, your going to have to take a shower and change first." She took me by the hand and led me down the hallway to the bathroom.

I grumbled and complained while she undressed me. "I wanna go back to bed!"

She pushed me in to the shower. "Nonsense! Now get yourself washed while I pack your over night bag!"

The warm water did help to ease the thick fog in my muddled brain. I quickly washed my body. It made me feel better, but I wasn't going to admit that to Maddy!

My mind replayed the events of last night. "Jeremy!" I remembered kidnapping him, kissing him, and seducing him. My body flooded with desire, and I ran my soapy hands over my breasts.

I screamed when the shower curtain was ripped open. Maddy gave me an evil grin while she turned the water off. "Just checking to see if you are using your massaging shower head! I heard a lot of moaning going on in here!"

I gasped. "Bitch!"

"Come on. I want to go to the beach!" In record time, my sister had me dressed, packed, and buckled into the passenger seat of her car.

The tires squealed as she pulled out of the driveway and onto the street. I groaned. "Maddy, if I don't call the cops on you for kidnapping me, I WILL call the cops to report your horrible driving!"

She gave me a grin. "Here, let me dial the number! I would love to be arrested by a cop."

I laid my head back against the seat rest. I closed my eyes and pretended to sleep. I wanted nothing more than to dream about Jeremy. I left him in his hospital bed this morning. I had kissed him so tenderly, and I promised I would be back later on today. "Shit!"

Maddy almost ran off the road. "What? What's wrong?"

"I can't go to the beach. I...I promised to do something today."

Maddy gave me an odd look. "Since when did you ever make arrangements to do anything? You always hide under a rock. Why do you think I had to come and kidnap you? I knew if I had called and made plans like a normal person, I wouldn't be able to track you down for three months!"

I knew she was right, but thanks to Jeremy, I was going to try to change. I was going to make myself available to people. I was going to open up more, even if it meant getting hurt; because that is how you know you are alive.

"Give me your cell phone. I have to call the hospital."

"Why? I thought you were off? Shit, do you have to work tonight?"

I felt like lying and telling her I did have to work. I wanted nothing more than for her to drop me off at the hospital so I could see Jeremy. I felt like a heart sick fool! I couldn't help but grin when I thought about Jeremy laying in bed.

Maddy threw her phone in my lap. "Damn girl! Why are you grinning like the cat who swallowed the canary?"

I ignored her as I punched in the hospital's phone number into the cell phone. I told the switchboard operator to connect me to the burn unit. When I was connected to the nurse on duty, I asked her if I could speak to Jeremy Adams.

"I'm sorry. Mr. Adams is in therapy at the moment. Could I take a message?"

I felt my heart sink. "No, thanks. I will call later."

I hung up the phone, and I had the feeling of Maddy's eyes burning into me. "Well, who is Jeremy? Is he a hot doctor at the hospital?"

I rolled my eyes. "Did anybody every tell you you are extremely nosy?"

She grinned at me. "Yes, sister dear. You tell me all the time."

I turned my head away from her. She punched my arm. "You better tell me who Jeremy is right now, or I will pull this car over!"

I rolled my eyes at her. "Do you think that is even considered a threat to me?"

Maddy stuck out her lower lip in her famous pout. "You don't want me to play the pouting sister, do you?"

I tried to fight off a smile; she looked so cute. "You know I hate you, don't you?"

She leaned over and kissed my cheek. "No you don't! Now, who is Jeremy?"

I leaned my head against the seat rest again. "Jeremy was my patient in the hospital."

Maddy let out a whistle. "You seduced your patient? Holy shit! I didn't realize my sister was so much like me! When did this happen? Details! Details!"

I smiled as I felt my cheeks blushing red with embarrassment. "Well, almost a month ago. I don't know what it is about him; his smile, his eyes, or his sexy body."

I knew Maddy was staring at me with her mouth open. She was fighting to keep her eyes on the road.

"Every time I am in the same room as he is, I want nothing more than to rip my clothes off and do him. He's got a fabulous piece of cock, too."

This little bit of information almost succeeded in Maddy running off the road. "You fucked him already? Jennifer! You are a little slut, aren't you?"

I felt my pussy dampen just from talking about Jeremy. I turned to Maddy, and I knew she could see the clarity and peace in my eyes. "Yes, I am a slut. Oh, Maddy! I love him so much. I tried to fight him. I did!"

I took a shaky breath. "I ran from him for three weeks, but last night, I went to him again. Oh, Maddy! It was wonderful! We had a picnic on the hospital roof. He asked me to be his girlfriend. Well, no, he just told me I was..." I giggled.

Maddy looked like she was in shock. "So, when did all this sex come in to play? I need details!"

"You know I don't kiss and tell."

"You better tell me, Jennifer. You don't want me to kick your ass!"

I rolled my eyes. "We haven't gone all the way yet. Just a little masturbation and I gave him a blow job last night."

Maddy squealed, "Oh, you ARE a slut!"

I laughed. I didn't care what names she called me. If I was a slut, Maddy was a full blown whore.

Maddy interrupted my thoughts. "So, what's he in the hospital for? What's wrong with him?"

I sobered as I thought of his accident. "He was in a car accident. He broke both his arms and he burned his legs pretty bad."

Maddy made a face. "You took advantage of a guy who is all bashed up? What did you do, drug him?"

I gasped in shock and punched her arm. "Fuck you! For your information, I did not! Is it so hard to believe your sister is actually getting a piece of ass?"

Maddy smirked at me. "Actually, it is! You held a torch for that Hank guy for three years! I was beginning to think you was never getting another boyfriend."

"For your information, I didn't hold a torch to NO ONE! Hank and I had some miss communication. Jeremy helped me deal with that."

Maddy gasped, "You told Jeremy about Hank? Oh my, you must be getting serious!"

I smiled. "I think I love him, but I don't know for sure. I have never felt like this before. I know we are going crazy fast, but I can't help it. I don't want to stop OR slow down. I just want him."

*******

We drove in silence the rest of the way. I had reclined the seat back, and I pretended to sleep.

I had no idea why anybody would want to go to the beach, especially when it was dark outside. I must have eventually dozed off because the next thing I remember is Maddy nudging my shoulder. "We're here!"

I hit the lever on the seat to raise it up. I gasped when I realized we were sitting in front of a house. "Maddy?"

Maddy let out a squeal of delight and jumped out of the car. I climbed out of the car, too. "Maddy, what is going on? Why are we here?"

Maddy ran around the side of the car and tackled me in a bear hug. "Sister dear, we are on a much needed vacation!"

I was confused. "Vacation?" Then, I heard the sounds of the ocean coming from behind the house. I glanced at my watch and realized we had been driving for over four hours.

"Maddy! When you said we were going to the beach, you didn't mean the lake did you?"

Maddy laughed. "Since when do I ever call going to the lake anything other than going to the lake?"

I groaned. "Maddy? What have you done? I thought we were going to the lake." The lake was in fact only an hour away from my house. I had no idea she planned on going to a real beach with a real ocean.

Maddy hugged me tight. "You need to get away. I need a house mate. I figured you needed to get out for awhile. So, I did the math and here we are."

"No! You have to take me home, NOW!" She shook her head. "No, we need to get our bags inside the house. Then, we need to put on our sluttiest outfits and go out to dinner."

She pulled away from me to open the trunk of the car. "Madeline Elizabeth! You get your ass back in that car! You take me home right this instant. I promised..."

She interrupted me, "Jennifer Nicole! You get your ass in the house, find the nearest shower and get in it..."

I stomped over to where she was standing behind the car. "You have no right! No right! How dare you do this to me!"

I never saw her hand coming towards me, all I felt was the hard slap across my face. Stars danced in front of my eyes for a few moments and my ears were ringing.

"You bitch! You hit me!" I grabbed her ponytail. She was my little sister. She had no right to smack me across the face.

"Yes, I bitch slapped you. You need to get some sense knocked into you. You need to get out and have fun. I am only trying to help and spend some time with you."

"No, you only want me around to help pay the bar tabs since your still illegal."

I was still pulling her hair and yelling at her when she wrapped her leg around mine, knocking me off balance. I fell with a hard thump on my ass. Since I still had a hold of her hair, Maddy fell on top of me.

"Maddy! You slapped me, and now you are trying to break my leg! I hate you!"

I tried to get her off of me. I thought "Two can play at this game." I still had one free hand, and I reached up and smacked her across the face.

This knocked her off balance long enough for me to roll her over. I climbed on top of her, and I grabbed a fist full of tee-shirt.

I was hell bent on killing her. Yes, I would kill her, throw her in the trunk, and I would head back home!

The sound of two male voices stopped us dead in our tracks. "Hey! A chick fight!"

Maddy and I gasped and turned to look behind my shoulder to see who was cheering us on.

Maddy used the distraction to roll me off of her. She stood up and smooth her tee-shirt over her tits.

I could just hear the honey dripping off her words when she said, "Hello. My name is Maddy. My sister and I were just having a little disagreement."

I stood up, and for the first time, I got a good look at who Maddy was obviously smitten over; two handsome, all American, college guys.

The taller guy grabbed Maddy's extended hand. "Hello, Maddy. My name is Brad." He was very handsome with blond hair and movie star good looks.

The other guy was cute, too, but he didn't possess the charm that Brad had oozing out of his very pores. "Hi. Um, my name is John."

Maddy shook his hand while she tried to wave me over. "Nice to meet you both. This is my sister, Jennifer."

Maddy put her best acting skills and her killer smile to use. "My sister and I are hungry. We were wanting to go to dinner, but we don't know any place around here. Do you have any suggestions?"

Brad and John looked at each other. I could read in their eyes what they thought. "Bingo. Easy lay. Let's do it."

They both turned back to Maddy. "Well, we were just headed to a restaurant down by the pier. You want to walk down with us?"

I said "No" the same time Maddy said "Yes." She smiled at the boys. "What my sister means is, we would like to freshen up first."

John nodded. "O.k. We can hang out in your house while you get ready."

Maddy smiled and clapped her hands. "Great." She grabbed our bags out of the trunk. I couldn't help but whisper, "Ever hear of playing hard to get?" She gave me a loud, "Shhh!"

Leave it to my sister to pick up two cute guys within ten minutes of arriving to our destination!

*******

Maddy and I were showered and dressed in less than twenty minutes. I couldn't help but gasp when she came out of the bathroom. She had on a short black dress and a face full of makeup. She oozed sex out of her very pores. When she arrived at my house earlier, she looked sixteen, now, she looked about twenty five.

"Maddy! Don't you think you are going into over kill here?" She pouted. "You don't like my outfit? Or, are you jealous because I look better than you?"

I gasped. "What? How dare you?" She was right. I couldn't help but feel a little under dressed in my jeans and tee-shirt.

Maddy dragged me back into the walk in closet. "At least put on a decent shirt. I know I packed a few in your bag."

She rummaged in my over night bag until she gave a satisfied "A ha!" She handed me a dressy blouse with a plunging neckline that I didn't even remember owning. I think I had bought it to go to a Christmas dinner years ago. "I can't wear that with jeans!"

Maddy sighed. "Put it on. You will look good, trust me." She pulled a pair of high heels out of her bag. "Wear these. It will look so hot."

I put the clothes on, and I was surprised at the effect. Maddy walked around me. "Comfy causal and sex kitten rolled into one."

I gasped. "I have a boyfriend. I shouldn't be looking like a 'sex kitten'." Maddy gave me a frown. "You shouldn't dress like a 'dowdy housewife' either." I sighed. She had a point.

She smiled. "Let's go!"

We walked into the living room. The guys were both sitting on the couch, where we had left them, and they both jumped to their feet when they saw us entering the room.

Maddy wrapped her arms around Brad's arm, pushing her tits into his bicep. "Ready?" John looked at me expectantly; I held in a groan, leave it to Maddy to pair up with somebody.

We walked outside, and I was pleased to feel the breeze against my skin. I felt John's hand against the small of my back. Man, he wasn't going to give up easy, was he?

We walked the length of the pier. Maddy and Brad seemed to be hitting it off; they chatted the whole way while John and I walked in uncomfortable silence.

We arrived at the beach side restaurant. I stared at at the outside with curiosity. It wasn't exactly fine dining, but it wasn't a dump either.

We walked inside the restaurant, and a waitress came over to seat us. She showed us a booth, and I couldn't help but notice Maddy diving into the booth next to Brad. John and I were to share the other side of the booth. "Ya'll need a menu?"

Maddy smiled at the waitress and said, "Yes, please."

The waitress threw four menus on the table and walked off. "Geesh. Somebody obviously got up on the wrong side of the bed." I felt Maddy kick my shin under the table for the nasty comment.

I decided to keep my thoughts to myself for fear of getting another kick to the shin. I stared at my menu. What a selection! It was basically a sandwich and soup, hamburger and fries, or pizza and chips.

When the waitress came back over, all four of us ordered hamburgers and fries. Brad ordered a pitcher of beer for us all to share.

We chatted while we waited for our food to arrive. I found out the guys were both twenty one years old; they were in college, but currently on a long weekend break at Brad's family beach house.

Maddy's eyes danced when she realized Brad had to be the coolest guy ever. He was young, in college, and obviously rich. She smiled at me from across the table. I couldn't help but smile back.

Our food finally came and we ate, chatted, and drank our beer. I didn't mean to drink so much beer. Every time I would drink some out of my glass, someone would fill it back up to the top.

This went on the whole time we were in the restaurant, and I started to get pleasantly drunk. We finished our food, and Brad went up to the counter to pay for us.

John got out of the booth and literally had to catch me when I stumbled out of the booth. "I'm so sorry. I don't know what's wrong with me." I could tell my speech was slurry.

Maddy giggled. "Are you drunk, Jennifer?" I was confused. "I don't know. I only had one glass of beer." Even though that one glass of beer never seemed to empty!

John grabbed my elbow and helped me out of the restaurant. The smell of the ocean and the wonderful breeze helped to lift my mood. I hugged John tight to my body. "Thank you for taking me here. I am so glad to be on vacation with you."

Maddy laughed. "John didn't bring you here. I did." I pointed my finger at her. "You bitched slapped me. So, I am still not talking to you."
