Well, isn't
this
fucking lovely?" Claire groused as she, her daughter Gina and brother Brent hustled into the cabin. All three were soaked to the skin, their boots caked with mud and cold.
"Chill Mom, it isn't Uncle B's fault!" Gina said, her jeans clinging tight and uncomfortable. "We checked the weather forecast, remember -- it said sunny and mild!" The attractive 19-year old had heard enough of her mom's grumblings during their 3-hour drive.
"Sunny and mild, my ass!" Claire said, shaking out her long, soaking-wet blonde hair. "Maybe your father had the right idea, staying home and watching the Humphrey Bogart marathon."
"Daddy hates anything to do with the outdoors and you know it," Gina said as she pulled off her hiking boots. She was disappointed, but she was with her two favorite people in the world -- her Uncle B and her Mom, so it was all good. "Hey, where did Uncle B go anyway?" she asked, wringing out her long, dark hair.
"To bring in your luggage -- how long did the two of you think we were staying anyway, a month?" Brent groaned as he hauled in 4 large suitcases. His sister had been like that since they were kids -- she packed like she was going on a cruise. At times, it was endearing, this was
not
one of those times.
"You're lucky I packed -- you always forget to bring something!" Claire teased back, but it was true, he'd been absent-minded since they were children. On a camping trip years back, he had forgotten a toothbrush and razor. They had an extra toothbrush, but by the end of the week, Brent looked like Grizzly Adams. Claire didn't like him looking that scruffy, because he had such a beautiful face and strong jawline.
"The weather reports says it should clear by Monday, guys!" Gina said as she came back into the main area. "We're here until next weekend, so we should get some nice outdoor time in, meanwhile, why don't we get dried off and warm up? Uncle B, can you build a fire? We installed a wood-burning stove after your last visit."
Brent and his sister co-owned the cabin; their respective spouses had despised it on sight and rarely came up. Brent was now divorcing Miranda, as for Claire -- Alex did his thing, she did hers, if they crossed paths, fine. If not -- fine.
Claire felt her brother's arms around her waist, just below her breasts. She snuggled against him, at 49; he was still rock-solid, even though he had a sedentary job as an author, he rode his bicycle whenever he could and swam almost daily.
"Remember the first time we had a situation like this?" He asked, kissing her ears.
"Yes, I remember. You were an 18-year old tease!"
"Does she know?"
"No. I don't even think Alex knows -- if he does, he's never said a word."
"How could he not know? She doesn't look anything like him."
"
You
don't look anything like Mom or Dad."
"True. But she's got my ... hold on, she's coming." Gina came back into the room, she never could figure out why her mother and Uncle B often stopped talking when she was around. They were always so close, there was something she didn't know about and one day, Gina vowed, she was going to make them spill the beans.
"Uncle B, the fire isn't lit." Gina pouted.
"Oh, sorry Angel. I'll see to that, why don't you and your mother unpack? You can have the big room if you like."
The "cabin" was that in name only, inside it was more of a chalet, with 4 good-sized rooms and two floors. It had satellite TV and the roads were finished, it was near a beautiful lake -- but it was still outdoors and not for Alex, nor for Brent's ex.
"Does he know?" Gina asked her mother as both of them dried off. Their clothes were clinging to their bodies, yet neither woman averted their gaze.
"Of course not -- I'm certainly not going to tell him."
"You don't think he'll notice?"
"How would he notice?"
Gina relaxed a bit, knowing her mother was right. It wasn't as if Uncle B was looking at them thinking
you're your mother's lesbian lover Gina and she's yours
. No one in their right mind would suspect that fact or that Claire hadn't been sharing her husband's bed much over the past little while, preferring her daughter's company instead. Gina always thought there was some great sadness in her mother that her father had not been able to fill. The sexual relationship with Claire had just
happened
-- but they decided to continue it, as all of the extra attention seemed to make Claire very happy.
