By the Lake
"You dumb fuck." Angela yelled
"Look it could happen to anyone." I replied defensively.
"You knew we needed gas! You should have gotten it at the station before we left from there Jon-a-THON." Angela fumed and bounced in her seat beside me. She crossed her arms over her breasts and hunched down as far as she could go.
I told her that for her eighteenth birthday I would take her to Palm Lake; she loved it out there, but what I didn't plan on was the gas I needed for the trip. We had passed a gas station about a 70 miles away getting here, and the sun was setting quickly. My sister couldn't have been any more pissed. She had a party to go to that night, and I spoiled it for her.
"Look I just wanted you to have a good birthday."
"I know listen, I'm sorry but this birthday party Beth had a guy for me and everything. I'm just disappointed."
"We could call Dad and have him come out here."
"Dad went to Las Vegas with mom this morning."
"Las Vegas?"
"Yeah Las Vegas. It's there anniversary. My birthday is always on their fucking anniversary. Played second fiddle to their day to often."
I looked down at her legs stretched out. She wore some tight jeans that showed just how beautiful her legs were. I wondered how she got those things on; they seemed to be spray painted on. Then, I wondered what her legs would look like when they were off. I shook my head a little, and then I thought, what about Thomas, my friend?
"You know I could call Thomas. He might be able to come get us." I offered.
"By the time he comes up here and back to the house, it will be too late for the party. Three hours up here and three hours back there. Yeah, this was a good fucking idea big brother." She sighed heavily, and thought about what to do.
I felt really bad. How could I do this to my sweet sister on her eighteenth birthday? "Well, I have some cash. I think I have enough for a cabin. I know you always wanted to spend the night up here. We can have a little party. The store still open; maybe they will have something we can cook to have a nice dinner. I will do everything."
I looked at her hoping that it would be at least something to make up for the trouble I caused her. She smiled feebly. "Oh all right, you said everything right?"
"Sure did."
