It had been nearly a year since my high school graduation when I'd last seen my Aunt Eva, though in truth, I "saw" her nearly every day of my life. My Aunt, and my mother were identical twins. Even living hundreds of miles apart had never changed their near identical appearance. They'd worn their light brown hair in the same style for years, and neither had gained enough weight to look any different from one another. Though my mother always contributed her ability to maintain her "girlish-figure" as she called it, to having a high metabolism.
Still living at home while working part-time and attending College, I'd come downstairs to fix myself breakfast before heading off to a late morning class. Though mom had been in the kitchen when I came downstairs, waving to me and blowing me a morning kiss, I had noticed immediately she was on the phone. Taking the receiver with her, she stretched the long dangling cord, slipping around the door into the laundry room. Mom had a habit of doing this whenever she wanted some privacy, disappearing from the kitchen in order to speak more candidly. What I always got a kick out of however, her voice tended to echo whenever she entered the laundry room, making it even easier to hear what she was saying than had she simply remained in the kitchen.
"So when did this happen Sis?" I heard mom asking. Ever since I was a small boy, mom had called Aunt Eva "Sis", rarely if ever by her first name. Because of that, I had grown accustomed to calling her "Aunt sissy". She'd always laughed whenever I had called her that, and eventually the nickname stuck. When I grew older, I'd quit calling her "Aunt Sissy", cutting the name slightly sometimes calling her "Aunt Sis", or simply "Sis" as mother had always done.
Knowing that mom was talking to my Aunt, I began listening more attentively. I had learned weeks ago when overhearing my mother and father talking, that my Aunt and her husband had been having marital problems. By the sounds of it, things had gotten worse.
"What did you do when you saw them?" Mom asked in lower tones, though I was still easily able to make out every word of their one-sided conversation. "You're kidding me!" Mom exclaimed, her voice raising a full octave in surprise as Aunt Sis told her something that must have been fairly shocking. "And then what did Bob do?" Mother pressed.
I felt really bad for my Aunt. I really liked her. The one thing I had always appreciated as a kid was that my Aunt, "Sis" had always been easy to talk to. Sometimes it felt a little weird speaking to her about things I would never have dared mention to my mother, especially with her looking like her and all. But Sis had always maintained our confidentiality in whatever we'd spoken about, never divulging anything, as far as I knew, to my mother.
"Oh Sis, don't worry about it. No...of course you're welcome to stay here, you know that!" Mother stated excitedly. "No...I don't need to check with Steven first, you know he'll be ok with your staying here for a few months. And of course, you know Mark will be more than happy to give up his room. Hell, he hardly spends the night here anymore anyway. To tell you the truth Sis, I think he's been spending the night with one of his girlfriends!"
I couldn't believe what I'd just heard. I hadn't been staying that many nights away from the house for one thing. And for the other, though I had a girlfriend of sorts, it was far more "platonic" than anything else. We'd gone out a few times together yes. Usually with several of our mutual friends, but what neither mother nor "Sis" knew for that matter, was that I was still a virgin in every respect of the word. I'd never so much as even laid a hand on a bare breast yet. Not that I didn't want to, or have those urges. I did. Masturbating almost daily in fact, while wondering, thinking about what it would actually feel like. But so far, my shyness, and low self-esteem had kept me from really attempting to do anything, with anyone. And it wasn't as though I wasn't reasonably attractive either. I'd come late into my so-called growing spurt, which had left me awkward, ungainly, as I'd suddenly began growing. Though I loved most sports, I was almost too skinny for football, especially as I'd managed to grow a full three inches in less than a years time, and my weight hadn't kept up with my height.
There was a long momentary pause while mom stood there listening to whatever it was that Sis had to say. "No. I admit I'm not really aware of anything..." Mother said once again having lowered her tone of voice, totally unaware that I could still clearly hear her. "You know Mark, he's never been comfortable sharing things like that with me, but I know the two of you have had discussions like that before, maybe he'll feel better talking to you about it." I heard her saying. They chatted briefly for a few minutes more, and then mom walked back into the kitchen preparing to end her call. I feigned ignorance of course; appearing far more interested in reading the morning paper than in listening to whatever it was she'd been talking to her sister about. Seconds later, I heard her hanging up the phone.
"That was Sis on the line." She began. "She told me to tell you she said hi. And, she's coming to stay with us for a few months." She said simply without giving any explanation.
"She's welcome to stay in my room." I offered innocently, pretending I hadn't already heard that. "I prefer sleeping downstairs in the den anyway. Or, if it's nice out, I actually enjoy blowing up the air-mattress and sleeping outside on the patio."
"Thank you Mark." Mother said coming over to give me a hug, wrapping her arms around my neck as I sat, hugging me from behind. "I appreciate your doing that honey. Aunt Sis needs some time away for a while." She finally gave up by way of a reason for my sleeping elsewhere.
"No problem." I said easily reaching up to give mom a backwards pat on the shoulder. "Well, guess I'd better get going, or I'll be late for my first class. By the way, when's Sis going to be here?"
"She's flying in tomorrow evening. Which reminds me. Your father and I have that business dinner to attend, so I'd appreciate it if you'd plan on staying home tomorrow night and keep your Aunt company. I think she'd enjoy spending some time with you anyway, it has been a year since she's last seen you. And boy...won't she be surprised! She'll never recognize you Mark!"
Which was true, I had changed significantly in a fairly short period of time. "Ok, nothing going on anyway. And I don't work tomorrow night either, so being home won't be any problem for me." Giving mom a quick kiss on the cheek, I headed out the door off to my first class. Surprisingly, I was excited, anxious to see my Aunt. Fact was, I was looking forward to the possibility of having another one of our intimate, private conversations together. The fact that mom had already given her an earful, even though there wasn't any truth to it, promised that whatever we talked about could end up being very interesting.

The next day, I arrived home late in the afternoon after my last class and headed immediately upstairs to my bedroom. Though I knew Sis was expected in, she'd never made it much before early to late evening whenever she'd flown in before. Without thinking, I simply barged into my room without even considering she might already be there. As I did, I saw two suitcases open, lying on the bed. A second after that, Sis came walking out of my bathroom. She was wrapping her hair up in a towel as she entered, and...she was naked!
"Oh God! Sis! I'm sorry! I didn't know you were even here yet!" I stammered, already backing towards the door. My being there did startle her, briefly. But if I'd expected her to suddenly turn and run from the room, I had another surprise coming. Taking the towel she'd been using to dry her hair with, she merely held it up in front of herself. But even in her doing this, she was barely able to conceal much of what I had already seen.
"Don't be embarrassed Mark." She said easily. "We're all grownups here." Sis finished wrapping the towel around her self, giving me one more quick, brief glimpse at her full, dark nippled breasts before hiding them from my view. "I managed to catch an earlier flight than normal." Sis walked over to the dresser standing in front of it and began brushing out her wet hair. "I understand your mom and dad will be out this evening." She ventured. "Any plans?"
"No...no plans." I said, feeling my face still flushed with embarrassment at having walked in on her. "Maybe we can order in pizza later or something..." I stammered in offering. I saw her reflection in the mirror as she looked at me, smiling.
"Sounds like a good idea. And from what your mother's told me, you and I have a lot of catching up to do anyway." Suddenly her smile turned into one of obvious surprise. Turning away from the mirror, Sis quickly closed the distance between us.
"Good God Mark! You've grown!" She said stepping up next to me. "Last time I checked, you were barely taller than either I or your mother is. Now look at you!" She exclaimed. "You're a good three inches taller than I am now!"
