I opened my eyes and immediately felt excited. I picked up my watch and looked at the time. It was 9:11am, I had actually slept in for a change.
It was Sunday and I only had just under two hours until Elizabeth was coming to pick me up. The excitement I felt was unreal.
I jumped out of bed and made a quick plan for myself. Teeth, hair & pubes, shower & shave, breakfast, teeth & floss, aftershave, clothes, teeth again...
Oh but hang on, this all looks really suspicious. I'm going to see my sister, not going on a date. Well, I am, sort of, but Mum & Dad don't know that. I can't do stuff that looks weird. Ok, definitely drop the aftershave and maybe wear normal clothes. Everything else they won't know about.
I grabbed my towel and went to the bathroom.
-------------------------------------
By 10:34 I was ready. I felt so nervous, so excited, but I didn't want Mum and Dad getting any sense of this, so I went back to my room and picked up my guitar. I strummed some random chords, thinking of Elizabeth, wondering what words would rhyme with her name. Or rhyme with the word 'sister'. I played around for what seemed like only a few minutes, but then I heard a car out of my window. I excitedly walked over and looked out. Yes, yes... it was Elizabeth pulling into the drive. I looked at my watch... 11:06am. Where had the time gone? I didn't care, she was here to pick me up.
I put my guitar down on my bed and started to run downstairs. "HANG ON!! Go slowly you idiot" I told myself. "You can't be excited, you are going to help her with chores. This is a chore, you're being a good brother, that's all."
I got to the bottom of the stairs and saw my mother walking to the door. "Andrew, Elizabeth is here." she shouted. She clearly hadn't seen or heard me.
"OK!" I shouted back in fun. My mother turned round sharply in surprise... "Oh you!!" she said.
"Sorry Mum," I said smiling, "but you know, I am going to be a good deed do'er today, so I need a bit of fun to start the day with."
My Mum laughed. "Rather you than me." she said.
I walked to the door just as Elizabeth let herself in. My beautiful, sexy, heavenly sister who looked drop dead gorgeous with her fresh silky hair and just a touch of make up, she really didn't need any.
"Oh hi bro." she said, "You're ready for me."
"Always Elizabeth." I said trying not to look too interested.
Elizabeth walked over to Mum and hugged her. "Hi Mum."
"How is your new home?" Mum asked.
"It's great thanks. But there is lots to do to get it all homely."
"Well it's lucky you've got a willing brother to help you." Mum said.
Elizabeth smiled.
"Would you like to stay for coffee?"
"Oh I'd love to, but we've got so much to do, so I think we'd better just get going if you don't mind. You don't mind do you Andrew?"
Fuck no, I thought. "No it's fine" I said.
-------------------------------------
Elizabeth and I walked to the car. She turned towards me... "Hi." she said. I smiled back.
We got in the car, my heart thumping. We both clearly knew to keep things 'normal' between us whist we were in public, especially whilst still in visual range of our parents. But that didn't mean we couldn't talk as we were now out of hearing range.
"Hi again," Elizabeth said, "it's really good to see you."
Elizabeth rotated the car keys and the engine burst into life. She put the car into drive, released the handbrake and started to pull away.
"I can't tell you how excited I am to see you Elizabeth. You look absolutely amazing."
"Thanks, but you're my younger brother so you have to say nice things to me." she said with a playful smile.
"Well that maybe the case, but I also happen to want to rip your clothes off and do shocking un-brotherly things to you." I said trying to keep a straight face as I turned round and waved to our parents. Elizabeth turned right out of the estate and the house disappeared from view.
"Oh really? I'm not sure you should be talking to me like that," she said still smiling but looking straight ahead at the road, "I mean, anyone would think you fancy your own sister or something!"
"Oh Elizabeth, you have no idea," I said, "no idea!"
I reached out my hand and found hers. Luckily Elizabeth's car was an automatic, so her hand was free to fit right into mine and our fingers intertwined. My thumb instinctively started softly stroking the back of her hand. It felt so good to be touching her. I lifted her hand up to my lips and kissed it. "God I love my sister," I reminded myself once again.
-------------------------------------
It took 20 mins to get to Elizabeth's flat. We hadn't spoken much, but our hands stayed interlocked for most of the journey. She pulled up and turn the engine off.
"Ok, little brother, we are here," she said turning towards me, "shall we go in?"
"I think so." I said with nervous excitement.
I opened the door and got out. I looked at Elizabeth getting out of the drivers side and had to remind myself that this wasn't a dream. Fuck me, she was just stunning, the girl I wasn't allowed to have eyes for.
