This story bent some of Literotica's rules the first time around. Nobody seemed to notice, or be bothered by it, for about a year: then all of a sudden it was gone, and the storyline "began" with Chapter 2.
So let's try this again, and summarize what we'll call Chapter 0 thus:
Seven and a half years ago, when Donny and his cousin Zoey were 12 and 11, they were driving to a family event with Donny's older brother Brad and Zoey's older sister Wendy. They stopped off one night at a motel and instead of Brad and Donny sharing one room and Wendy and Zoey sharing the other, Brad and Wendy ended up in one room while Donny and Zoey ended up in the other. The two younger cousins didn't see anything odd about this; but when they innocently looked in on their older siblings, they saw things... well, which they didn't completely understand. But clearly Brad and Wendy had more than a cousinly relationship.
Which brings us to the present, and Chapter 1:
We were on our way to my brother Brad's wedding, in the town where our grandmother lived. She was pushing 90 and couldn't travel anymore, so he and his fiancee had agreed to have the ceremony there. Since my cousin Zoey and I both went to colleges within an hour's drive, and I had a car, the plan was for me to pick her up and drive her.
But you know what they say about the best-laid plans: this was early February, and we'd barely left Zoey's school when it started snowing. And kept getting worse until about halfway there, we went into a skid that scared the shit out of both of us.
I regained control of the car almost immediately, but clearly it was time to stop somewhere for the night rather than challenge the storm. A few minutes later, peering out of the window through the wind and driving snow, we spotted our safe haven... the Bates Motel!
Nah, just kidding about that part -- though that
was
what I thought the sign said for a moment. It was actually the Bakersfield Motel, and it looked like a very nice place. Not that we were in any position to be choosy.
"You're okay with one room with two beds?" I asked Zoey.
"Sure. It's not as if we haven't shared a room before."
And then I suddenly realized why the lobby looked vaguely familiar. "Holy shit. Zoey, this is the motel we stayed at that time with Brad and Wendy. Remember?"
"Are you kidding? That's a night I'll never forget. Not only what we saw, but that night after you fell asleep it was the first time I--"
"The first time you what?"
"Never mind."
"What?"
"Drop it. It's not something I should be taking to you about."
"Okay, okay," I said, "sorry I-- well,
you
mentioned it."
The last thing I wanted to do was have Zoey pissed off at me. She was my favorite cousin, plus we were going to spending the night in the same room and then God knows how much time on the road together tomorrow, depending on how much snow the storm leaves behind.
Fortunately, they had a vacancy. I think normally the clerk would have been suspicious of two 18-year-olds renting a motel room ("
Two beds? Yeah, ri-i-i-ight...
"), but the blizzard made our story a lot more credible.
I called my mother, who was already at my grandmother's and told her to let everybody know we were stranded but safe, and would definitely be there in time for the rehearsal dinner the next evening.
The room was warm. Too warm, and there was no separate thermostat so we could adjust it. It felt good coming out of the snowstorm, but it didn't take long for it to get a bit uncomfortable. It was already late, so we took turns changing into our night clothes. Zoey had a flannel nightgown right out of Little House on the Prairie -- a sensible thing to pack, since we really didn't know what the sleeping arrangements would be during the wedding weekend -- and I had a pair of sweatpants. I was grateful that I didn't have to bother with a shirt.
"What are you daydreaming about?" Zoey suddenly asked me. I hadn't even realized I was.
"The last time we were here,"I said. I was remembering details of the last night, from how nice it was when Zoey crawled into bed next to me because she couldn't get to sleep, to how it felt to see Wendy's naked breasts.
"And the sad part is," I added, half to myself, "I haven't seen another pair since."
"A what?"
"A pair. Of boobs."
"You're kidding. A jock like you?"
"That's kind of the problem," I said. "All through high school, between basketball and the swim team, there was never time to have a steady girlfriend. And now that I'm in college, I don't know, it's just been a few months, and I haven't found anybody yet. How about you?"
"Well,
I
have
seen a lot of breasts."
"Smartass."
"Seriously, a couple of guys have seen mine, but I haven't gone much further than that with anybody. I've had some nice boyfriends I really didn't feel that way about, and other guys, guys I would have done it with, who just wanted a quick fuck and probably would have bragged to their friends about it afterward. So screw 'em. Or, I guess, not."
