Ring. Ring. Ring. "Hello."
"Dude! I just pawned my brother's girlfriend."
"What? Matthew what are you talking about?"
"Sorry, let me start at the beginning. My brother's college girlfriend is visiting us this week because you know it's just so hard for them to be apart the whole summer."
"Shit I didn't think your brother would ever get a girlfriend."
"I know right?"
"How ugly is she?"
"She isn't. I mean it wouldn't kill her to wear some better clothes or put some make-up on, but she's cute, cuter than I'd think he could get. Anyways so my Einstein brother didn't think to call off work this week so it's just her and me alone at the house all day."
"What did you two do?"
"Nothing, I've mostly avoided her, stayed in my room playing video games, but eventually I felt the need to at least get off my ass and take a shower. Afterwards I get distracted by the paused video game, I don't how much time passed but there's a knock at the door and she asks, get this, 'Are you descent?' I'm still wearing only a towel. I drop it and strike a superman pose as she comes in. She screams and said 'I thought you said you were descent' to which I reply, 'I thought I'd let you'd be the judge of that.' "
They were still laughing about it when there was a knock at the door. Startled, I dropped the phone. The handle turned but opened just a crack. "Are you dressed?"
"Yes, come in."
Her straight long brown hair was parted along the center of her head to frame her face. She had a cute small nose and no blemishes or pimples, unlike his brother. She wore a baggy gray Tee-shirt and jeans that would feel tight on him, but not particularly tight compared to what his high school classmates would wear.
She closed the door behind her and then held her hands behind her as she walked towards me. She took a deep breath before saying, "I think we should talk about what happened earlier today."
I was sitting in a gaming chair facing the large TV in my room and just swiveled towards her with my mouth slightly ajar. Shit how much trouble am I going to get for this prank?
She took a seat on my unmade bed. "Your brother and I haven't done anything physical with us entering the Lord's service and all, but I still understand the confusion. You're eighteen and there's a desire to do more. I know there's an attraction between us and I understand if you want to walk in on me after the shower to make things even, but after that we'll have to exhibit more restraint. Not just for your brother, but for the Lord."
"Right, OK." was all I could figure out to say before she left the room. My heart beat heavily as I tried to process her words. There was a muffled noise coming from the floor that I realized was the phone I dropped.
"Dude! She just offered to strip for you."
"Well not exactly."
"Are you going to do it?"
"Shit I don't know man. This is fucking crazy."
"Do it and pics!"

Mid-afternoon it was time to finally wander into the kitchen and get some food. She was sitting at the table eating a piece of toast. I pulled some leftover pasta out of the fridge and placed it in the microwave. The clock on the microwave read 3:23 before I started it.
While my food was cooking I turned to face her and gave her a smile, but she was avoiding my look. "Well we got like an hour until my brother gets home so you want to just show me your body now?"
She dropped her toast as tears welled up in her eyes. "Gosh, I was joking!" and then she ran out of the room.
Well I fucked that up.

I stayed in my room for the rest of the day, only to come out for family dinner. If she said anything to anyone they certainly didn't express it to me. I didn't speak much during that meal but I looked into her eyes a lot to see if she had been crying. I saw no redness or puffiness to indicate as such. I hope I'm in the clear.
* * * * *
All night long I went back and forth on what I should do. I was invited to see her naked, but then she started crying when I brought it up. I'd certainly like to see her naked, but she is my brother's girlfriend, and yet somehow that made me want to do it even more. If she's going to cry about it and tell my parents, could be more trouble than it's worth. Although she would never tell she made the offer, which means she couldn't tell them I told her I planned to walk in on her. I'd say it was an accident, I was just bored and asking if she wanted to play a board game, I stupidly forgot to knock. She wouldn't be able to refute that story if it happened only once.

I got up early that morning before anyone had left for work. Mom was impressed and cooked scrambled eggs for me before she left. Dad gave my hair a tussle as he zoomed through the kitchen like I was 8 instead of 18. My brother was last to leave, giving his girlfriend a hug and a kiss on the cheek. I wondered where their line was. What physical acts were permissible and what would make Jesus frown? Had he seen her naked yet?
"I'm going to go take a shower," the girlfriend announced without looking at me. I looked up from my eggs and watched her walk out. She had slept in an oversized shirt that covered her ass and pair of cotton shorts that weren't much longer. Her legs were pale and they didn't look shaved, but I badly wanted to touch them.
I didn't get up from the table when I finished my eggs, didn't even clear the table. I was afraid I wouldn't hear when the water turned off if I made too much noise, so I sat there silently as I scrolled through various sites on my phone.
On instinct I held my breath when I heard the water turn off. After several missed breaths I forced myself to manually intake and release air. My breaths were long as I struggled to keep them quiet.
Finally I heard the bathroom door open followed by footsteps. I hurriedly stood up from the table and followed after her. I placed my hand on the doorknob to the guest room and took a deep breath. Remember, she invited you in.
I barged into the room and she gave a squeal. Her towel was already on the ground and she stood there naked by her suitcase. Instead of proudly taking the superman pose, she instinctively bent down with one arm covering her nipples and the other to cover her crotch. "Jesus, you scared me."
