I was sitting in my room on my bed just hanging out when my brother decided he was going to come barging through the door like he always did. See, my brother's room is actually a smaller room within my room. What that means, though, is that anytime my brother wants to get to his room he has to pass through mine.
"Hey" I said. "Don't you ever knock?"
"What for, I don't have a choice but to come through here if I want to get to my room."
"How did you know I wasn't naked or anything?" I said that more as a comment meant to freak him out more than anything else. I wasn't expecting the quick tingle I got when I said that to him.
"I didn't know, but I guess I get your point."
My brother isn't a bad kid, just young and overzealous. He's 18 and I'm 23. I remember being his age and thinking that I owned the world. I guess that's how he feels here. My brother and I have always been close. See, I'm a BIG girl and he was always there to take up for me when someone would make a rude comment. When I say big, I mean BIG. I'm about 5' and 400lbs. My brother was also a big kid. He was 6' 450lbs himself. So we understood what the other was going through when people would say things. Because of that and the fact that my brother was VERY shy, we were the best of friends.
Sitting on the bed he said to me, "So what are you up to today sis?"
"Not a whole lot. Kinda bummed today."
"What's wrong?"
"Just another of those days I guess." What I wasn't telling him was that there was this guy that I had recently met who said that he liked big girls. See, the thing Is that I'm not very confident. I've heard of stories of men just using fat women to get what they wanted sexually. I didn't want to be one of those women. I will admit though that he was super attractive but I really just didn't trust him.
"I'm sorry to hear that. You shouldn't be down though. It's such a nice day outside and I do have to say that you look great today."
"AWWW, thanks Jr." My brother was a sweetheart. He always knew how to cheer me up.
"Wanna go out for a drive or something?"
"Sure" I answered him. And with that we left in his car to go out for a drive. It was indeed a nice day outside. Spring was in full swing and it's true what they say about spring fever. I was instantly put into a good mood. I guess today wasn't going to be such a bummer after all.
"Thanks for getting me out of the house Jr. I really appreciate that."
"No problem. You know I wasn't kidding when I said that you look great today." This comment he added rather shyly.
"AWWWW, thank you. That's very sweet of you to say. You're still not getting my room." I laughed at that and he smiled too.
"That's not why I'm saying that. I said it because I meant it. You're very pretty." I looked over at him and he was blushing FURIOUSLY. My brother was a very attractive young man. I'd always said that if he wasn't my brother... I'm sure you can finish off that thought.
"Thanks Jr. I really do appreciate you saying that. You're also a very attractive young man and any woman would be super lucky to have you in their life." I meant that. He was a great guy both inside and out. Here's where it started to get odd for me though. As I was saying that and looking at him, I felt myself begin to warm up. Then I felt an odd tingling sensation. Was I really getting kind of aroused by my brother? There's no way that this can be happening. I looked at him again and noticed that he was looking at me also. I swear to you a jolt of electricity shot through my body when we made eye contact. He must have noticed it also because he quickly turned away and became bright red.
"Umm. Ok. That was interesting huh?"
"Ha, yeah it was sis."
We drove in silence for a while neither one of us really knowing what to say. It was definitely very awkward silence. I could tell that he was as freaked out about what happened as I was.
"Jr, it's cool. Don't worry yourself about anything ok?"
"I can't sis."
"What do you mean you can't?" We had a moment, and it's over now. No big deal."
