"I still want to go."
"It's OK for you Sis, but I will be on my own."
I got a dirty look from her, "So we don't count?"
I gave her a smile, hoping to take the heat out of the argument, then I said, "You know what I mean, the only man."
"So you have now started calling yourself a man, I thought you were a mouse?"
That made my wife Mary laugh, but she stopped when I glared at her.
Mother then joined in, "Please let's not argue about it. We need to discuss it like adults, not fight like children."
Then she looked at each of us in turn, daring us to disagree with her.
"Good, now we can talk about it in a civilised way."
My Sister Lizzy had arranged it at short notice, just two days ago. She had suggested we go away for a long weekend, and we had all agreed. The problem was that Father had now dropped out.
Mother then took control, "Let's have a show of hands. All those in favour of still going."
I was the only one who didn't raise their hand. Nothing was said, but they were all now looking at me.
"Come on Leo, you will still have a good time, even without Father."
My Sister was almost pleading, and I was starting to feel guilty because if I refused to go then the trip would be off. I made my mind up, but I kept them waiting for a few more seconds.
"OK."
I then got a big hug from my Sister, a smile from my wife, and a nod of approval from Mother.
Five minutes later Father joined us, he had been busy packing his suitcase.
"What was all that noise about?"
"Just a bit of lively conversation," then Mother changed the subject, "What time is the car coming for you?"
Father looked at his watch, "Now, in fact it's almost fifteen minutes late."
"Will you miss your flight?"
Mother sounded concerned, but my Father just laughed.
"It's a company jet, if I am late it will wait for me."
I was impressed, this morning he had just said that he was needed in Germany for an urgent meeting, no mention about a private plane.
"I am sorry Lizzy that I can't come, I know how much time you spent organising it. It's my job, I have no choice, and from what I have been told I will be needed there for at least a few days, possibly a week"
I said, "Don't worry Father, they will be OK with me."
I could see that Lizzy was deciding if she should tell him that they had to persuade me, but thankfully she kept her mouth shut. Twenty minutes later the car eventually arrived. It was a three hour drive to the airport so Father was keen to get going, after quick hugs and kisses he was gone, leaving us to get ready for our trip.
We had prepared most of our stuff the previous night, so it didn't take us long to pack the car.
"Have we got everything?"
I got a muttered "Yes" from somebody, that was good enough for me, so I started driving. We had a six or seven hour journey ahead of us, so if we have forgotten something there will be no turning back.
It was early evening when we arrived. I had done most of the driving but I wasn't too tired. Lizzy had described the place as a remote cabin on a hillside, but as we approached it I was pleasantly surprised. It was definitely on a hill, the car was now struggling in first gear, and it was remote, there were no other buildings for miles around. However it was more like a normal house rather than a cabin. It looked a lot better than I had imagined it would be.
Mother echoed my thoughts, "Lizzy, I thought you said it was a cabin?"
"That's how it was described to me. They had problems with their website so I didn't see any pictures of it."
"They could have sent you pictures, to your phone or email."
"Next time Leo you can do the booking."
I didn't reply, I might not be the smartest guy in the world, but I do know that when you are in a hole you stop digging.
Mary chipped in, "It looks wonderful, thanks for organising it."
That calmed my Sister down.
We quickly unloaded the car, then we went exploring. Downstairs consisted of a large living room and a large kitchen, with a bathroom attached to the kitchen. In the middle of the kitchen was a big wooden table that would easily seat six people. Upstairs consisted of a single corridor with the bedrooms leading off it, two to the right and two to the left. One of the end ones was locked.
Lizzy said, "They did mention that one of the bedrooms was having some work done on it."
The three bedrooms were identical, each having a double bed, but no en-suite bathroom. To keep Lizzy happy I suggested she have the first pick. She chose the first one on the right.
"Mother what about you?"
She shrugged her shoulders before saying, "It doesn't really matter, they are all the same," then she added, "The one next to Lizzy."
We took the one that was left, opposite to my Sister.
As soon as we were in our room Mary looked at me, I knew what she was thinking. Who puts the bathroom downstairs near the kitchen?
"I think they wanted it there so that they could have a fourth bedroom."
Mary nodded, then she said, "I am glad none of us said anything about it in front of Lizzy."
"But did you see Mother's face? I could see she was itching to say something."
"Yes, I don't know how she managed to control herself. Your Mother obviously knows what Lizzy is like, so thankfully she kept quiet. This is supposed to be a nice holiday, I would rather not have an argument every five minutes."
"Is every ten minutes OK?"
"Very funny," she had said it sarcastically, but I did get a small smile from her.
I gave the room another look.
"It might be possible to fit a small bathroom in here, one with a very slim shower. If we give them some feedback at the end of the stay then I might say that."
"OK, but don't say anything to your Sister about it now. If you do, you know what she will say."
"Next time Leo you can do the booking."
We both then laughed, when I had said it I had even sounded like my Sister.
Ten minutes later we were all sitting at the kitchen table enjoying a nice coffee. When I looked at my Sister she seemed a bit subdued, then she spoke.
"Sorry about the bathroom. I didn't realise it was the only one, I thought each room had one as well."
You don't kick somebody when they are down, so I said, "It's OK, we are not here for long."
Mother then joined in with, "It never crossed my mind that it was a problem."
That was too much, we all had to laugh, even Mother. Now that it had been put to bed, we could enjoy our holiday. Lizzy then prepared an excellent meal. My Sister has her faults, but cooking is not one of them. As we ate I looked round the table. We are a close family, despite all our arguments, and we are very protective of each other. Mother's favourite saying is, "If you kick one of us in the leg, we all limp."
It took us an hour to finish because there was a lot of talking, and a lot of laughing. I could tell this was going to be a good holiday.
While Mother did the washing up, Mary and Lizzy went into the living room, but I remained at the table finishing my second coffee. I then started thinking about my family again. Lizzy is twenty one, five years younger than me. She is only five feet tall, and a slim build. I am six feet tall so I tower over her, but she has the dominant personality. At times she even scares me. Mary is twenty eight, two years older than me. If you want to know what she looks like, then just look at Lizzy. Strangers often assume they are Sisters. Since the two years we have been married a few people have said that I married my Sister. I always laugh with them, but I find it a bit uncomfortable because deep down I think there is some truth to it. I have always found her attractive, but it's a feeling I try to ignore. However what happened just over a year ago has made that more difficult.
I had just returned from work, and I was eager to get my hands on Mary's body. We had not been married long so we were having sex most days.
"I am in the bathroom."
When I opened the door she was at the sink, naked, with her back towards me. I smiled when I saw her ripe bottom and slim waist. When I reached round and held her large breasts she gasped.
"Bend over and open your legs, I want to fuck your nice tight cunt with my big cock. If we are quick we should be able to finish before my Sister gets here."
She didn't move, but I felt her nipples harden as I played with them. Then I heard a noise downstairs.
"Lizzy I am back."
I froze, but my Sister reacted quickly. She was leaving the bathroom when she shouted, "I am in the bedroom," then she added, "Leo is home, he is in the bathroom."
When we were all together Lizzy was the first to speak. Looking at me she said, "I managed to leave work early. I had a shower while Mary got a few things from the shops."
I just nodded, so that was why she was naked in the bathroom.
"I did my shopping as quickly as I could, I didn't want to leave you two alone in case you argued."
She was smiling, it was her attempt at a joke.
