I rang the bell at my sister's place, secretly wishing I would have gotten called in to work today. It was too hot and humid to be around all these people in such a small space. But it was her house warming party so it was my duty as the older brother to support my little sister. Especially after the divorce.
She opened the door and I was surprised to see so much fewer people than I expected. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad. I hugged her and said 'hi' to everyone as I made my way to the bar where all her gifts were placed. I sat my gift down with the others. I looked around at all the other gifts, seeing if anyone loved my sister more than me. No one did. The spread as a little disappointing, in my opinion. Except for this one over here.
I read the card and it was from Chad. I racked my brain and couldn't remember ever hearing of a Chad from my sister. Who was this "Chad" and why was his present bigger than mine?!?! I scanned the room and saw no one that looked like a "Chad". Disgruntled, I grabbed a hand full of pretzels from the dish and made my way to my sister.
"Who is "Chad"" I asked with air quotes. I may sound like a dick, but I loved my little sister and was highly protective of her. I didn't want her to get involved with another ass-hat like my ex-brother-in-law, that cheating bastard.
"Chad" she began as she leaned in towards me like she had a big secret "is a coworker that I invited. For you!" she said popping a chip in her mouth and crunching away.
"For me? Why?!?" I asked.
"Because you work too much and never meet anyone. You're too uptight. And you need to get laid" she said. All of which were true.
I just recently been promoted to VP of Ops after working so hard. I felt I had something to prove and for the last six or seven months, my life has been work work work. And definitely no sex. I hadn't even jacked off in probably five or six months. The last time I dropped a load was during a dream the first week I got the promotion.
"Jenna, you know I don't have time for someone now!" I protested.
"Oh, he's more than someone" she said nodding her head in a specific direction. I looked over and saw no one special.
"Oh that guy? The one with the hillbilly beard?" I said rolling my eyes.
"No dumbass...that one!"
I followed her gaze and saw the most stunning man I have ever seen in person. He was tall, dark skin, darker hair streaked with grey, shoulders as broad as the Mississippi and an ass for days. His smile was mesmerizing, his strong jawline darkened by his facial hair. My man bits woke up immediately. I'm a pretty confident guy, but, honestly, this guy intimidated me. It was a feeling I wasn't familiar with. It made me uncomfortable and turned on at the same time.
"Fuck me!" I muttered looking him up and down.
"That's the hope" Jenna said as she triumphantly trotted towards him, pulling me by my arm. I swallowed my pretzels, almost choking, as I approached this god of a man.
"Chad? This is Noah, my brother I was telling you about" she said with a wide smile.
Chad turned towards me, his eyes piercing my very being.
"Hi Noah. I'm Chad" he said reaching out and shaking my hand. "Great name, by the way" he said, his handshake firm.
"Hi. Chad. Nice to meet you" I was able to stammer. What the hell was happening?! I've been introduced to famous people and not once have I choked up like this. "And thanks, by the way. I like to think my parents named me appropriately."
"Especially if it rains a lot" Chad mused with a smile.
"I do like animals!" I replied, which got a well dimpled smiled from Chad.
"I'll, just, go...over... there now..." Jenna said as she excused herself proudly.
"So, your sister's new place...? What do you think?!" Chad said looking around.
"Yeah. This is my first time here. It looks nice!" I replied.
"Oh. You're a Jenna's House Virgin? Let me show you around" he said taking me by the shoulder. I felt bad that this guy knew more about my sister's place than her older brother did. I made a mental note to see her more often.
We ended up in the backyard, just the two of us.
"So, can I ask what you got her?" he inquired.
"A blender" I said, as my sister was a local chef.
"Oh nice!" Chad said.
"Yeah, but I might have to take it back. I saw your package was bigger than mine!" I noted.
"Well, my package is usually the biggest" he said with a wink.
"We might have to put that to the test later" I replied.
Chad handed me his phone. "What's your number there, big guy?" he asked.
I added my number to his contact list then handed his phone back to him, holding on to it tightly as he tried to pull it from my hand.
"Only if you're serious" I said sternly. He smirked, I released his phone and walked back in to the house, patting him on the shoulder as I walked past him.
The remainder of the night when smoothly. Jenna got a ton of cool stuff, and a few terrible things as well. But everyone was smiles. Chad and I made eye contact several times throughout the night. I also checked out his crotch whenever I could. Idle curiosity of course. And I wasn't disappointed in what I saw.
After most everyone left, I made sure I stuck around to help Jenna clean up. Big brother and all that. It also gave me a chance to get her alone and ask a few more probing questions.
"So why, exactly, do you think I'd click with that Chad guy?" I asked.
"You have a dick. He has a dick. You like dick. He likes dick. Seemed a rather elementary leap to make honestly" she said.
"You think just because dicks are involved...that's all it takes?" I asked incredulously.
"Mostly" she said honestly "But he's also a good guy. He's smart, funny...super sexy...and, I don't know, I just thought you needed a break from work and all that".
