Covidiots part 3
Another Covert Confession
By
de Vere
Red and I are still in lockdown together.
In case you have not read my first memoir, or part 2, Red is not her name, it is descriptive. Red has curly red hair. Almost orange. Like if Wendy was hot. It was about shoulder-length when the Covid quarantine began, but it is longer now. If you saw her, your first thought would be that she is 40, tops. A MILF. Cougar. Hot mom. What you would never guess is that she is over 50. But she is. A tight 123-pounds of red and white hotness.
Red is nature's warning color.
Think about it. Whether it is a snake or a spider or a mushroom, if it is red, that means it is dangerous. Probably deadly. Do not touch! Even more so when your sister is Red.
Red and I are in our fifties. Divorced. In quarantine at her house down in Florida during the pandemic. For the first 50+ years of our lives, we were pretty typical siblings, although she is sexier than most. Much sexier. That did not change during our first month self-isolating together. Red has a lung condition that puts her in a high-risk category for Covid, so she has not left her yard since early March. After I got laid off because they shut down the concerts I do lighting work for, she invited me to keep her company. And do errands for her from time to time.
A few nights ago, bored from being locked up together, my sister made out with me. That stoked us. The next night we gave each other oral sex. Pretty damn good oral sex. Amazingly good. Red says she hates giving blow jobs; I cannot imagine how incredible hers would be if she did enjoy it. On the other hand, I love carpet munching—particularly when that carpet is a stunning light red color on alabaster skin. A red carpet like the one Red has. It fucking haunted every waking minute in the days since, and I even had a dream about it one night.
While claiming to have no regrets over what we did, even a halfwit like me can see how much it freaked her out. A woman a few years older than my sister who I know had a one-night-stand with some dude and ended up going all religious—and she was not related by blood to that dude. At least Red had not taken the nun's vows, but she did start wearing bras regularly after that night. I missed that aspect of my home entertainment system, but the memory of those two freaky nights was enough to keep me going if I spent the next 200 years in solitary confinement.
"Look," I said to her one night, looking at the bra strap peeking out next to the strap of a wife-beater that looked suspiciously like the one she was wearing that night we made out like horny teenagers, "maybe we should talk about..."
"There's nothing to talk about. It was real, it was fun. It was
real
fun. And we needed to get it out of our system."
"Did that get it out of your system?"
"Why do you insist on talking about it? It is what it is. Talking about it won't change anything. And that does not mean I want to change anything! I just don't want to constantly discuss it. Okay?" If you have not ever been with a redhead, you know how fiery they are. Like I said, red is nature's warning color.
But I did miss seeing her pokies around the house those days. And on the rare days she decided to entertain me by leaving her bra in the lingerie drawer, I enjoyed the show immensely.

Red loves taking her baths. Years ago, I remember noticing splashing sounds while talking on the phone with her. It happened more times than I could count. Once I decided to ask. "Are you washing dishes or something?"
"No." Silence. Splashes. "I'm in the bathtub."
"Oh," I answered calmly as possible. Back then, I had to imagine what she might look like in the bath. To be honest, my imagination turned out surprisingly accurate. But I digress. "Should I let you go?"
"No, that's okay." And we stayed on the phone until I heard her splashing change, the unmistakable whooshing as she stood, the quiet as she toweled herself off. Damn, why hadn't I Skyped her? I remember wondering at the time if she had any idea what images were playing in my mind? Did she imagine my wood during the rest of that call? That was not the last time, either.
She even called me a few times then splashed around while we talked, but we never discussed it again. I did send her a crate of bubble bath bombs for Christmas last year. Giving is better than receiving. After that week, I wondered if those times we talked while she was naked and wet in the tub were some of those times she wished we were not siblings?
She has one of those old houses where you can hear water running from all over the house, and I learned the different sounds her bath and shower make. So, when I heard the distinctive squeal of the pipes as she ran a bath, I sat back and let my imagination take me there. For the first time, I relied on memory rather than my imagination. Sure, I had to imagine how buoyant her boobies are and whether her pubes darkened while wet the same as the hair on her head did, but the rest lived vividly inside my mind, where it would stay forever unless I suffered some terrible head injury.
Just as I sat down on the bed to rub one out, I changed my mind.
"What the hell are you doing?" She screamed furiously as I walked into her bathroom.
Damn it! Those bubbling bath bombs produce enormous quantities of foam. I sat down on the toilet, trying to hide my disappointment that I saw less of her IRL than in her imaginary baths inside my brain.
"I have a question for you."
"Well, you know where to find me 24/7. Can't it wait?"
"Good lord, there's more bubbles in there than Ariel had in
The Little Mermaid
."
"You are such a pervert!"
"That's what I wanted to talk about," I said.
She laughed. Really hard. Women love guys with big brass balls. "Okay, but you need to leave before these bubbles pop."
"Leave before the last bubble pops. Got it."
"How would you like it if I walked in on you while you are showering?"
"Good question. One way to find out."
"Pervert! What do you want? Let me rephrase that." We both laughed. "What is so important that you barged in while I am in the bathtub?"
"I know you think we made a mistake and all..."
She didn't let me finish. "Do you think it was a mistake?"
"No, but it's damn obvious you do."
"I don't think it was a mistake, okay?"
"Then what is it?"
"I can't believe we are having this discussion while I am naked and in the bathtub."
"Well, I figure you won't leave and we can finally clear the air." At that point, I'd have been happy with clear water. "If it wasn't a mistake, then why won't you even discuss what happened or how you are feeling about it?"
She sank into the bubbles until they reached her nose, giving me a side-glance. After a minute, she pushed herself back up. "I'm okay. I'm fine, if that's what you are worried about."
"Good," I said. I was a little worried, but I was more curious than anything.
"Look, it was all so...ARGH!" She splashed bubbles everywhere, a few landing on her face and in her hair. "I'm not like that. I'm not a pervert."
"Like me?"
"Exactly! We expect that of you." She laughed again, letting me know she meant no harm by that, nor did I take it that way. "We needed to do that.
