My sister's new flat was perfect. It was fairly spacious, great location and had a cracking view of the river. The bedroom was huge with vibrant red coloured walls. I was impressed and if I'm honest, a tad jealous. Kerry walked into the kitchen, her sandals clacking on the tiled flooring.
"You like it?" She asked.
I nodded. Kerry smiled and placed a box down on the counter.
"Come on," She continued. "There's a couple more boxes in the car and then we're done."
I followed her out. At twenty five, my sister was two years older than me. She was tall with curly red hair and a slim body. Today she was wearing a loose white t-shirt with blue shorts and a blue and black stripey cardigan.
"Thanks again for this bro," She said as we reached the car. "Takeaway afterwards is on me."
"You sure you can afford it?" I asked, grabbing a box. "I mean this place looks expensive."
Kerry laughed.
"You'd be surprised," She said. "I managed to get a decent price on it."
"Lucky you," I replied.
**Later**
We finished unloading the car and spent the next half hour moving boxes into the right rooms before assembling Kerry's bed. After that, we took my car out and found a cool looking Chinese takeaway to get food. I ordered noodles with sweet and sour chicken, Kerry had the same but with egg fried rice.
"I'm so fucking hungry," I said as we got back to the car.
"Then onward good sir," Kerry replied in a joking manner. "We must head home at once to feast on this delicious looking food."
I laughed and unlocked the car. The drive home was quick. We raced up the stairs to Kerry's flat and tore open the food containers. Tucking in, we sat on the floor of the sitting room in silence. The food was amazing and was quickly devoured.
"That was incredible," I said, stifling a burp.
"I'm so full," Kerry said, placing her container next to her.
She laid down, her head resting on the skirting board.
"I'm finally living on my own."
I didn't say anything.
"That feels so weird to say aloud," She continued.
On the kitchen counter, Kerry's phone beeped.
"Be a buddy and get my phone for me," She said. "I am too comfortable to move from here."
"Sure thing," I replied and got up.
Walking over to the counter, I picked up her phone. It flashed up again with a message- HARDBOY69 HAS SUBBED TO YOUR CHANNEL. Underneath it read- LOG IN TO CAMLIFE.COM TO SEE YOUR SUBSCRIBER RATE. It took a second to put two and two together.
"What the fuck?" I exclaimed.
Kerry looked up. We made eye contact and her face dropped.
"It's not what it looks like," She replied, standing up.
I tossed her the phone.
"You're on a cam site?" I asked.
She didn't say anything. Instead she just nodded and looked down at her phone.
"Is that how you're paying for this place?" I asked.
"Yeah," She replied. "But it's more than that."
"Then what is it?" I asked.
Kerry shifted her weight from one leg to the other.
"I enjoy it," She replied. "It's a thrill for me to know people are watching me..."
She trailed off and the room was in silence. I didn't know what to say and neither did she.
"Look," I said, breaking the silence. "I'm not judging okay? If this is what you want to do then go for it. Just promise me it's safe."
Kerry walked towards me and embraced me in a tight hug. The thick, flowery smell of her perfume was overwhelming.
"I promise it is," She whispered. "Please don't tell Mum and Dad."
"I won't," I replied.
"Thanks," She said and pulled away from me.
Kerry smiled at me. I smiled back and went to sit back down on the floor. Kerry followed and joined me, her back resting against the wall.
"You're the only person who knows," Kerry said.
I nodded.
"It all started with my friend Katie," She said. "We had gone out for the night but decided to head back to her place early. We ended up getting tipsy and going on the internet where we came across this chat site. We took turns getting naked and doing stuff in front of the cam. It was fun."
