I've tried to put together the series of events that happened to me in the summer of 1995. I reviewed the entries from my diary, and to the best of my recollection, I am telling you my true feelings and thoughts at the time. This is not some fiction story for someone's idle pleasure, but an actual and true account of the pieces of my life that may serve as warning to young women that may find themselves in similar situations. I can only tell you that if I could live this part of my life over, none of this would have ever occurred.
I was 19 and my dad had finally agreed to have a new pool built in our backyard. I think part of the reason was he thought this would be one way of keeping me at home a little more often and maybe some of my friends would join me around the pool instead of going out with the guys. I guess I brought home a few weird guys that would make any dad nervous for future of his princess.
It was getting warmer and I had promised myself that I would work on the perfect tan every day when I got home from the University. This was the year I would make myself as pretty as I had ever been. I would be back from classes at about 2:20 and I was going to get my towel and be on the recliner next to the pool by 2:30 in a string bikini every afternoon. At first, I could only do about 15 minutes on each side before I had to go inside to keep from being burned.
My brother rode home from school with his football friends and at around 3:45 would be home about the time I was getting out of the shower. By May, I had already developed a respectable tan and I would still be lying by the pool when he got home. My brother was a 18-year-old sweet guy that was very shy. He would come out and talk to me for a minute while I was lying there. The pool was still too cool to get in but he would get me something to drink or see if I needed anything before he went back inside.
As the days got warmer, so did the pool and he would jump in when he got home. I would join him just to cool off but my deep tan was my life's goal. I had begun taking my top off before he got home because my breasts were so white. I would watch the time and keep an eye on the door so I could put my top back on before he walked in. I liked reading while I lay there. It was all so relaxing.
I am still not sure how it happened, but one day he came out of the door and jumped in the pool and there I was with my breasts completely exposed. I grabbed my top and slipped back into it. I wasn't sure if he had seen me or somehow he had not noticed.
Maybe a week went by and one afternoon my brother told me that it was ok if I wanted to remove my top to work on my tan. If you only knew my shy little brother, you would understand what a bold revelation for him to say that to me. I realized he had seen me and hadn't said anything since it happened. I was so embarrassed. He told me he was my brother, that he loved me, and that he wouldn't look at me if I wanted to go topless. I remember thinking that he was so sweet but I still wasn't going to let him look at my breasts.
A few days later, he was home early again and I was quick to get my top back on this time. He had gotten to the point that his routine was to make some noise so that I knew he was home. Then he would jump in the pool, grab a recliner, and sit next to me. He was working on his tan too. I still wanted to get more sun on my back that day. I felt like I had hurt his feelings by not trusting him "not to look", so I turned face down and asked him to unhook my top so I could get sun on my back. He fumbled with the clasp forever and finally got me unhooked. It was so cute, funny, and sweet but I wanted him to feel like I respected him as a young adult and didn't mention his obvious lack of experience.
After that, I let him unhook my top most days when he got home. There was something so innocent about him doing that for me. Sometimes when your top is undone and you are laying face down, you need to raise your body up a little and sort of let your breasts re-adjust and then lay back down. I would check to see if he looked at my breasts when I raised up but he seemed disinterested and I never saw him try to look.
My body was at an awkward point. My breasts were firm and were what I thought were fully grown at the time but my nipples were bigger than my friend's at school and had become elevated and noticeably pointy. I was very self-conscious about them and began wearing padded bras and padded swim tops. I looked bigger but at least I didn't show.
It must have been one of those days where you have weird feelings about things. I wanted to expose my breasts in front of him but I didn't want him to see them for real. I thought about this for a while. I closed my eyes, raised up, and turned over and laid on my back. There I was, exposing my tan breasts to my little brother. After a little while, I slipped back into my top and went inside to shower. He never said a word. Had he not seen me or did he not really care? Was he gay or something?
I soon got to where I would let him take my top off while I was just sitting on the edge of the recliner. There was no longer any doubt that he had seen me. He didn't say anything but I'm sure he was peeking. I knew this was wrong. I made sure I was showered and dressed before my parents got home from work. I felt good letting a guy see my breasts even if it was my brother. I even let him look at my hips when I laid face down. It felt good to let the sun tan my white hips. I would pull my bottom down just below my hips. I never let him see anything more than my hips but I still felt very exposed in my more girly places.
We would cool off in the pool splashing each other, me topless, him pretending not to look. One day while tanning my bottom, he took his swimsuit off and began tanning his bottom. I turned away. I didn't want to see it. I got dressed and went inside. That night I kept thinking about what it might look like. I saw him once when we were both little. It was about the size of my thumb. I kept wondering if it would still be visible in a patch of hair.
He began taking his suit off every time he unhooked me now but I wouldn't ever look. I was still thinking about if it could be seen in his patch and what his patch looked like. I had never seen a guy naked and I really wanted to. I kept thinking about it. There was a naked guy in a recliner next to me, even though it was my brother. I finally had the courage. I turned over and looked at him. It was so big. What was a I thinking? Of course it has to be big enough to go inside a woman and his certainly was. It was much more than I expected. I guess he saw the expression on my face and told me it was ok. My sweet brother had been a gentleman again.
