Tony stopped in the kitchen to grab a couple beers from the fridge on his way to Taylor's room. He knew his sister was at home - her car was in the driveway. He knocked on the door frame as he went in and said "Hi Sis!" She barely looked up from her computer but smiled brightly when he set the cold beer on her desk.
"Wow! This is nice!" she smiled, taking a quick swig from the long necked bottle. "What do I have to do to earn this special treatment?" she asked.
"Well, I'm glad you asked," Troy said. "This is hard for me to talk about, but I've been hearing for several months that you're a pretty easy lay. And I could use some 'strange stuff' right about now."
Taylor gasped and almost choked on her mouthful of beer. "God, Tony, you're such a bastard! Even thinking such a thing about your sister should send you straight to Hell. Asking directly makes it even worse!" With that she threw her nearly full beer bottle at him and scored a direct hit on his chest, drawing a loud grunt from him.
"Well, Sis, I know it's not something polite people talk about but it's what I've been hearing and even Luis, your date last Saturday, said you had some special skills he enjoyed. So which is it? Are all those guys lying or are you pretty easy?"
"I don't even want to talk about it - get out of my room right now! If you don't stop I'll tell Dad - he knows I'm a good girl." She approached Tony and began pushing him out the door.
"OK, OK!" Tony said. "I'm leaving but we're not through with this conversation."
Nothing was said between the two of them for a couple days but the atmosphere was clearly strained. Over dinner one evening their Dad finally said "So what's up with you two? You haven't been civil to each other for several days. Whatever the problem is I want it solved TONIGHT!" He didn't ask for specifics, didn't shout and make threats - just said to solve it. Then he left the room and sat down in front of the TV.
After a long silent period Taylor was almost ready to cry but said "Tony let's take a walk and figure out what to do."
They got their coats and walked a block without saying a thing. Finally Taylor broke the silence by saying "OK, Tony. I guess I am easy from a boys' perspective. But 'being easy' is such an old fashioned view. After all, we're in the 21st century now - not back in the 1800s. I like sex as much as any boy and most other girls like it, too. I'm just more ready to go after what I want the same way the boys do. Most girls just wait for it to come to them and then they put up some resistance. So I'm not any easier than the boys I go out with - we're both after the same thing and I'm happy to say I get my share!"
