Kelly's cousin Sally and her family had arrived that afternoon to stay for the holidays, and as the night wore on everyone gradually went to bed until only the two of them were left. The conversation between them was somewhat awkward; Kelly felt a bit sheepish about what had happened between them the last time they saw each other. She knew that you were not supposed to get sexually involved with relatives. Yes, they were just cousins, and since they were both girls, there was no chance of any two-headed offspring. Still, she felt like she'd gotten a little carried away.
Finally, just for something to do, they decided to head to the video store. (Their town was the kind of place where video stores still did a good business.) Upon arriving they were surprised to find Adriana, of all people, behind the counter. She had recently started a part-time job there, and had stayed behind to work a shift while the rest of her family took off for Christmas. She was supposed to take the train to join them the following day.
"Hey," said Ana, "everybody's gone from my house and we close in, like, 10 minutes. Why don't you guys come over?"
The cousins conferred briefly before agreeing, then killed time browsing the shelves until Ana was ready to go. They walked together to Ana's house, huddled together for warmth with Ana in the middle, one arm around Kelly and the other around Sally.
Once they got inside, Ana cranked the heat way up, since there was no one there to tell her not to. Then she made some popcorn and took a beer from the fridge for each of them. They settled into the living room couch with Ana again in the middle, Sally on her left, Kelly on her right.
The movie Ana had brought home was a sexy European vampire movie from the 70s. It started with a bang -- there were two girls, a blonde and a redhead, naked in bed together. They started kissing, then fondling each other; things were just starting to get interesting when a mysterious figure in black entered the room and shot them both dead. It was shocking -- bloody and violent -- yet the arousal lingered.
From there the movie cut to a scene involving a young couple and a beautiful hitchhiker, and while this plotline was promising, it moved a bit slowly. About 20 minutes in Kelly looked over to her left and saw that Ana and Sally were no longer paying attention to what was onscreen -- they were making out. Ana had turned over onto her side and had one arm wrapped around Sally as they kissed.
