Home, Nesca was trying to muster the courage to call Professor Giovanni to confirm their lunch date, but doubt assailed her.
"Was he serious when he said he wanted to meet me for lunch?
" She thought. "
Should I even call this guy? Maybe I should just stay home. Yeah I'll stay home, better than being rejected and heartbroken."
Her dress slid to the floor. When she got to her panties she flashed back to their little session, she became wet all over again. In the shower, she hoped the scalding water would chase away the powerful feelings sweeping over her. Instead, Nesca felt as if she were high on ecstasy as the water cascaded over her. Suddenly, she felt chills go up her spine. She felt hands on her body. Turning quickly she found. . . nothing.
She dressed comfortably in cotton shorts and a large shirt. Then she grabbed her cookies and laptop.
She had time to look online for a guy to mess with for the time being. When the guy IM'ing her responded again she heard a knock on the door. She took a cookie into her mouth then got up to answer the door.
"Little sister, what is going on? You can't pick up your phone?" Nesca's older sister, Denise, pushed her way into the apartment. Her sister, a few inches taller than she, had a body guy's dreamed of having in their bed. Denise's skin was a bit lighter, but they shared many features. She was always in the spotlight, people even stopped her to take her picture. Their bond as sisters was like no other.
"Hi to you too, Nise. Please charge in and look through my computer. Why are you here right now?" Nesca said as she grabbed her laptop from her sister's prying eyes and shut it.
"I can't come see my baby sister whenever she's been out my sight too long?" She said, pinching Nesca's cheeks as if she were a baby.
"No! You have business to do so can you stop checking on me. . . " Nesca said mockingly.
"Well aren't we a little bitter today, what's up?" Denise said, a little concerned.
"Something happened today." She began to fiddle with her shirt.
"Did it happen again? I thought you took care of that already."
"No, no not that, I was talking about this guy today." Nesca said with a slight smile.
"You finally did it!?! How was it? Was he b-?"
"What! No I'm still, you know, intact, but we did have a little session." She tried to hide her growing smile from her eager sister.
"What!! You little freak. So who is it? What's his name?"
"That's where the issue lies. It was Johnny Giovanni." She figured this is where the dynamite went off.
"Wait... Mr. Johnny sexy divine and all fine Giovanni. English Lit Professor, Johnny Giovanni?" Denise said in awe. "What do you mean issue? There should be no issue there."
"Yes, that Johnny Giovanni, he sort of asked me to lunch and I accepted but I had a feeling he might not want to be seen with someone like me. I didn't call to confirm." She waited for her sister's explosion.
"What!! HE asked YOU didn't he?" She nodded "So I think you should be kind enough to decline properly when you do not want to do something. You're getting old baby sister. . . "
"Please, remind me again why you aren't at work, Nise?"
"I'm off today, it's not a bad thing to come see you, you know. How's your 'best friend forever' Jerome doing?" Denise asked.
"He's still out of town. I don't know when he'll be back but that's his job."
"Mom and dad called yesterday."
"What do they want?"
"Nesca, they're still our parents."
"Maybe they're yours, Denise, but no longer mine."
"You'll get over it one day. Until then, I'll call you later." Denise rose to leave. "And don't think I didn't see those cookies over there."
"Old habits die young, yeah yeah." She waved off the cliché her sister constantly used with her. She got up to show her sister out and went back to her laptop and cookies. She popped a cookie into her mouth, and then there was a knock at the door once again.
Nesca got up stuffed another cookie into her mouth so her sister would see the lack of care of her diet. She swung the door open and slammed it back shut. It was him.
