My mother and father had been killed in a robbery gone wrong. They were at the bank trying to secure a loan, when a crazed gunman came in and randomly opened fire. From the day this happened, my Aunt Lisa had taken care of me. She had welcomed me into her home, and considering it was just the two of us living in her house, I pretty much got everything I wanted, within reason.
One of the few things Aunt Lisa had asked of me was to join her for 2 weeks, while she went on what she called, '
her getting in touch with nature trip'
. I was 10 when I first went on this trip. But as I grew up these trips were becoming more of a prison sentence than an enjoyable experience, despite my aunt's efforts to ensure I had fun.
The time for Aunt Lisa's annual trip was drawing close, and I was not looking forward to it. Our relationship had been strained since before my 21st birthday. I'd had my fair share of girlfriends, and a week or so before my 21st, Aunt Lisa had caught me going hammer and tongs with my then girlfriend. Aunt Lisa had never discussed sex with me, and I'd never seen her in anything less than shorts and a t-shirt, but despite this, Aunt Lisa was attractive, and a prude in my mind.
One day when I'd been doing the laundry, I sneaked a peek at my aunt's underwear, and discovered she wore size 10 pants, and a size 38c bra, on a 5'8 frame. Her hair was a medium blonde/light brown, with brown eyes, and a cute smile. In short she was attractive, and I often wondered why Aunt Lisa was single.
"John, I've been thinking about our trip away, and decided we are going to do something this year." Aunt Lisa said one night over dinner.
"Do I have to come this year, Aunty?" I asked, dreading the response.
"Yes. This will be the last time I request you join me. If you want to join me after this trip, all you have to do is ask." Aunt Lisa answered sternly.
"So what are we doing this year that will be so different?" I asked
"That is a surprise, John. But I'm thinking you're going to like it. You need to be packed and ready to go by 8am Saturday morning." Aunt Lisa said with a mischievous grin.
I spent the next few days packing clothes, and life's essentials, dreading the next 2 weeks, but at the same time I was curious. One night over dinner, I asked, "Aunty, since you said this trip is going different, do I need to pack anything special?"
"The only thing you need to bring is something nice to wear. Not a suit, but something presentable." Aunt Lisa answered.
This made my mind boggle more. The day of dreaded departure arrived, and at 8am sharp, the doorbell rang, and Aunt Lisa went to the door, and a minute later she said to me, "John, it's time to go. Are you ready?"
I shut the door to my room, and trudged down the hall to the door. Aunt Lisa was waiting there to lock up. "Just give your bag to the driver, and he'll take care of it." She instructed me as I walked out the door. I looked up and noticed that Aunt Lisa had arranged a car service to take us wherever we were headed. I complied with my Aunt's instruction, and climbed in to the waiting car.
A minute or 2 later, my Aunt climbed in to the car. The driver shut the door behind her, walked around the car, climbed in to the driver's seat, and we set off for our destination. As we drove towards town, I asked "Where are we going Aunty? Don't we normally head in the other direction?"
"Well John, I know things have been strained lately, and I thought that I would give you another 21st present, even though it's a bit late."
"You didn't have to do that Aunty." I said.
"Well if you don't want to go to Vegas, we can go home." Aunt Lisa half laughed.
"You know I want to get there. I've wanted to go there for years." I said with a smile from ear to ear.
We arrived at the airport, checked in, and went for a coffee as we waited for our boarding call. When our flight was called, Aunt Lisa and I headed for our gate, and boarded the plane. The flight was non-eventful, and we arrived in Vegas after about 3 hours flying.
Aunt Lisa had said that she wanted to check-in at the hotel before we do anything. We arrived at the hotel, and checked in. The clerk checked us in, and signalled for a valet. The valet collected our bags, and guided us to our room. It was only a standard room, however there was a nice view. Once we were alone in the room, Aunt Lisa and I discovered a problem. The room that was allocated to us only had a double bed.
"I'll go down to reception and sort it out." Aunt Lisa said.
"Ok Aunty." I said as she headed out the door.
After 15 minutes had passed, Aunt Lisa hadn't returned, and I was getting a little concerned. I headed down to reception and searched for my aunt. When I couldn't find her, I tried ringing her on her cell phone. My Aunt said to me "I'm in the bar. Come and join me."
I got directions to the bar, and found Aunt Lisa perched on a bar stool, draining her glass. It was one of the few times I had seen her drink. I knew something was wrong. "What's wrong Aunty?" I asked.
"We've got a problem." Aunt Lisa began. "The hotel is booked solid. We are stuck in the room we are in, which means we have to share a bed." As she signalled to the barman, for a top-up.
"That's not a problem is it?" I said trying to sound understanding.
