I spat in my bottle, in the A/C of my car, the radio turned down low; there was an even anticipation to see her, to actually be able to talk, to know that she was doing okay. Her happy tears flowed in my mind, only overtaken by her strip. That entrancing, invigorating, burning hot strip. Her hips gyrating over my cock.
I had rung the apartment buzzer, but with no answer or admittance to the building, so I waited in the parking lot, glancing at every face that drove in. She got off at 9. It was only 9:22.
In my mind, her body scrunched: her hips pulled back, her shoulders came up, her knees bent, the muscle and tendon in her forearms shone as she pulled the hole in her hosiery to run and fall apart around her leg, with such utter perfection- her jaw just going slightly slack, her lips becoming a perfect O for just a moment.... She knew exactly what she was doing, and even now, it was obvious in my pants.
This was her. A point a to point b car with faded and scratched hunter green paint. She parked across the lot.
I took the dip out of my mouth; put it in the bottle, scraping my finger on its mouth. I swigged some water and took a mint before getting out and catching up with her, a spring in my step. She looked up at me and ran over, an ear to ear smile on her face as she gave me a bear hug. I laughed a little and swung her around. When she didn't let go I started awkwardly walking to the apartment building. She let go and giggled, sliding down. She looked more like my sister, in sneakers, jeans and black t shirt, and less like the vixen that now dominated my mind. "How are you Sare?"
"Great! Great, how are you? Find this place alright?"
"Yep. How was work?"
She opened the door with her key and let me in. "It was good. I could hardly fucking sit still all day. Went by really fast. God it's good to see you." She turned back and looked me in the eyes, then looked me over. "You look good. If you weren't my brother, I'd do you."
I laughed and the images flashed in my mind. Wonderful images.
"What about you? What did you do today?"
"I worked."
"Where are you working."
"At a wood shop. Fine cabinetry and furniture design."
"Fancy."
"Yeah, the guy you saw me with yesterday is my boss."
"Wow."
"Yeah... I've been apprenticing with him since I was fifteen so, it was his treat."
"Takes you to a strip club. Nice. Sorry, I hope I didn't ruin that for you."
"No, no, it was, well, something."
She gave me a shove as she flipped to her apartment key and let us in. "It's not much, it's been kind of hard to get everything looking like home, but, slowly, I'm acquiring things."
Slowly was right. The apartment was bare... There was some frameless art pinned to the walls, my sister's: pencil and charcoal nudes, landscapes- not the views over open land, but inside forests and groves, campfires. A camp chair covered in a blanket, some books on the floor, a stereo, a small, fabricated desk against the wall, with a mismatched chair. The kitchen was a bit better. It was small, but had a full fridge, bread and such arranged on top, a decent sized sink, gas stove/oven, a microwave. No dishwasher. But she had some fresh fruit on the counter. A tea pot.
She was setting things down in the kitchen pulling things out. "What do you think?"
I held my expression and tongue as I wandered. A small bathroom, a bathtub/shower, toilet, a scuffed up mirror. A bedroom, with a mattress on the floor, but it was made, with white sheets on it and a few pillows, a wool blend blanket. Her closet was open, everything was hung up or on the shelf above. It was clean, and neat, though, I guess it was hard to mess up all that was here.
She had always been neat, trying to control the things she could. "I like it," I called, "very feng shui." I heard her laugh in the kitchen, and I walked back to her.
"Asshole," she said as I walked in.
"Still?"
"Always."
"Honestly though, it's incredibly bare, but well kept, you seem to have the absolute essentials. So, I'm happy." I thought about the furniture I could supply her with, being a furniture maker myself, but kept the thought to myself. I couldn't spare that commitment just now.
"Are you still living at home?"
"No, I moved out last summer."
"Oh?"
"Yeah... Dad thought it was a good idea. Still close to home, but, my own bills, own space."
"How is he?"
I took a breath.
"Be useful, chop vegetables."
I walked up to the counter and started chopping, "He's good. About a year after you left, mom attempted suicide... it was more a cry for help."
"Damn."
"Well, yeah, so, Dad divorced her and about a year ago, he got remarried to an old high school friend, also a divorcee."
"She have any kids?"
