Cindy and I had known each other most of our lives. I was a couple of years older but my sister and she were the same age and lifelong friends. I watched her grow from a bratty little kid into a cute pre-teen and then to a shy pretty teenager.
Shortly after her eighteenth birthday, she was spending the night with my sis while our parents were out of town. I came home around midnight to find them both drunk and having a ball. I certainly didn't care that they were drinking but I stayed close to make sure they didn't get into trouble. When my sister got sick, Cindy true friend that she was held her hair while she heaved over and over. I then helped her to her bedroom and left as Cindy somehow got her to bed. I was surprised when Cindy then came back down to join me. I could tell she was very drunk as I watched her weave down the hall to the front room.
She sat next to me and was rambling on about what she and my sister were talking about but I couldn't make it out. I turned down the TV so I could hear what she was saying and then she stopped mid sentence,
"So Brad what do you think, would you do it for me?"
I still didn't know what she was talking about and told her so.
"Brad, I said I hate it that I'm eighteen and I'm still a virgin so I was wondering if you could fix that for me?"
I leaned over, kissed her cheek, and then still close to her I said,
"Believe me, I would love to help you with that but not tonight, not when you're drunk. Tomorrow you might hate me and I just wouldn't want that. Cindy you come back and talk to me when you're sober and if you still want me to do it I'd love to."
"Ah you're so sweet, that's why I want you to do it to me Brad."
She put her head on my shoulder and promptly fell asleep. I went and got a pillow and blanket for her, then covered her up before I went to bed myself. I lay there cussing myself for turning down the chance to be with her. I knew I'd blown my one chance but I just couldn't take advantage of her, damn what a nerd I was.
The next morning when I got up Cindy was still asleep on the couch and I was sure my sis was asleep either in bed or curled up around the toilet. I grabbed a quick breakfast and split for the day. I knew they both be hung over and I didn't want to be around them to hear their suffering.
