Marcia's birthday party was strictly a family affair for her eighteenth birthday. Mom and Dad surprised her with a bank account that they had set for her a couple of years earlier. It had a several thousands of dollars in it. It was money they saved and put into "Marcia's First Car Fund". Then there were the usual gifts of clothes, CDs and DVDs. Mom gave Marcia a gag gift - a short beach cover up to wear over the bikini she liked to wear while sunbathing.
I gave her a couple of hundred dollars that I had saved and two promises - I promised to help her shop for a car and I promised to help her wash it and keep it clean. I took a lot of pictures of the party for the family picture album.
Late that evening I was in my room getting organized for the classes which I had signed up for at the Community College when there was a soft knock on the door.
"Come in."
Marcia pushed the door open. She came over and stood behind where I was sitting at my desk. "Thank you for the neat birthday gifts, Gary."
"You're welcome."
"I especially like your promises." She put a hand on my shoulder. "I want to give you a hug."
I pushed my chair back and stood up. My sister put her harms around me and hugged me tight. She was wearing her long sleep t-shirt. I was wearing a t-shirt and shorts. I could feel her nipples through the two thin layers of cloth. I put my arms around her and hugged back. It felt like she didn't have on a bra. "I love you, big brother."
We loosened the hug and I looked down at her face, "I love you too, little sister. I don't know exactly how to ask this, but where's your bra?"
Marcia blushed a little, "I'm not wearing one. I'm not wearing panties either."
"Oh! I hope Mom doesn't find out. You know how she gets on your case when you wear your bikini when Dad or I are around."
"I know. Sometimes, she's such a prude." Marcia grinned slyly, "She'd skin me alive if she knew I slept in the nude."
"You what?"
"I sleep nude. I wear pajamas down to breakfast and so on so I have some in the laundry every week."
"You're pretty sly."
Marcia smiled, "You remember that time we kissed?"
"Uh, yes. Why?"
"I want us to kiss like that again."
"Uh, why?"
"Just because." Marcia put her hand on my cheek. She stood up on her toes and her lips touched mine. Her tongue slipped through my lips. I kissed her back and the kiss turned into a deep mouth probing French kiss. I put one arm around her shoulders and one around her waist. My hand rested on the small of her back. My little sister was definitely not wearing any underwear.
"Whew! That was nice. You're a good kisser, Gary. Goodnight." She kissed me lightly on the lips, turned and left the room.
I had a restless night as I lay thinking about my sister's smooth back and our kiss.
The first day of classes went well. We didn't get much homework and I had enough time before lunch to do some of it. I stopped by Sandy and Dan's office to pick up a set of keys for the house that Sandy and I had cleaned. Both of them were in the office. They were looking a something spread out on the desk in the front office.
Sandy looked up as I came in through the front door, "Hi, Gary, how was the first day of classes?"
"Just fine, Sandy. May I have a set of keys to the house that we're working on? I thought I would do some paint prep this afternoon."
"Sure, there's a set in the key safe. I'll get them for you." Sandy went down the hall towards their private offices.
"Uh, Gary."
"Yes, Dan?"
"Er, I wonder if we can get together for another conversation?"
"Uh, like our last one Dan?"
"Er, yes. Like our last one."
"Sure. Anytime. Whenever it's convenient for you."
"When what is convenient?" Sandy returned and handed me a set of house keys.
"Oh, Gary has helped me with a couple of projects at home and I've got another project that I want to tell him about and see if he wants to help."
"I can help you part of tomorrow, Gary, but on Wednesday I'm going to this property auction." Sandy indicated the papers lying on the desk. "There are several homes and small apartments that we might try to buy through bids. Dan and I are dividing them up and looking at them tomorrow morning. Then the auction will probably run all day Wednesday. But I'll be able to help you all day Thursday."
"Any help will be greatly appreciated, Sandy. Well, I better get going, if I'm going to get much done this afternoon."
"I might stop by the house Wednesday afternoon and see how things are going."
"That'd be great, Dan, and you can tell me about your new project then too."
Dan smiled, "See you then, Gary."
I did a lot of taping windows and some scraping and priming before I locked the house up for the evening.
Tuesday morning I drove to the office and got the truck. Sandy and Dan were just leaving for the tour of the property to be auctioned. When I got to the house I opened all the windows then I spread drop cloths in a couple of the rooms and began to paint the ceilings. After lunch I moved the drop cloths into the remaining rooms. Sandy arrived shortly after I resumed work.
"Boy, you've gotten a lot done already, Gary. How about I start painting the living room walls."
