"Are you sure you two are going to be fine by yourselves," my mom asked for the millionth time.
I responded with the same reply that I had been using since she started asking, "Yes mom. We're adults now. If we can't take care of ourselves by now, we are in big trouble."
She smiled and said, "Alright."
My mom and dad were going had been invited to go along on a cruise with my aunt and uncle. My aunt and uncle had suggested that, since my cousin, Katy, and I had just turned eighteen, we could stay home with each other. I was a bit disappointed that we weren't invited, but Katy and I were very close so I didn't complain. We were so close, in fact, that ever since they moved here from Florida eight years ago, we had hung out with each other every day.
As mom and dad were still running around the house making sure they had everything they needed, I sat down on the couch and remembered the day that Katy and I met each other. It was the first day they had arrived here in Indiana. We were only children so, in retrospect, we were probably both a little lonely until we found each other. We had introduced ourselves and from that day onward, we were inseparable. Also, seeing as the house they moved into was two houses away from ours, were physically close as well as emotionally close.
After about ten minutes we head a knock at the door that could only be my aunt and uncle. Sure enough, when we open the door, Uncle Tom and Aunt Tracy were on the other side. There wasn't much conversation. Both sets of parents asked if the other was ready and they started saying their goodbyes to me.
As they started to leave, Uncle Tom said to me, "Hey, James, Katy said she was still packing. She should be over here in a little bit."
"What's she packing? If she needs anything all she has to do is walk two houses down and get it," I joked.
He smiled and, before he closed the door said, "See you in a week."
Started to head back into the living room when I heard the unmistakable sound of rain pattering against the house. It was only sprinkling but when I got to the living room and looked at the TV (the weather channel was on), I saw that we were going to be in for a wet day. That was the one bad thing about living in Indiana: you could never predict the weather. Oh well; it wasn't like we had anything we were going to do.
I was sitting on the couch watching TV for about an hour when all of a sudden it started to pour rain. I turned my to look out the window that looked out on the back yard and saw that the fat drops of water were now being accompanied by some pretty fast winds. That's when I heard the doorbell ring. I ran to the door and, sure enough, there was Katy standing there soaked to the bone. I held the door open for her as she walked in.
"Oh my god, you're soaked," I said as I shut the door.
Her denim shorts were dripping on the rug in front of the door. Her, normally blonde, hair was a light shade of brown from being wet with rain. I could see drops of water sliding down her lightly freckled face. However, the thing that got to me the most was her shirt.
Her white tank top, in its temporarily transparent state, was now clinging to her body in a way that any guy would love. As my gaze wandered up, I could clearly see her erect nipples, at the tips of two A-cup sized breasts, poking at her tank top. As I noticed this my penis started to harden and I could feel my basketball shorts starting to tent out.
"Well nothing gets by you," she said sarcastically. "Can I get some dry clothes? I left my bag of clothes at home so they wouldn't get wet."
"S-s-ure," I stuttered, hoping against all hope that she hadn't noticed the growing bulge in my shorts.
She followed me upstairs to my room where I pulled a pair of basketball shorts and a t-shirt out of my closet. I handed the clothes to her and left my room closing the door behind me. Back on the couch in the living room, I was alone with my thoughts. I was trying to make sense of what had just happened. When Katy and I were younger I had the biggest crush on her until I found out that it was wrong to be in love with your cousin. I never mentioned it to her but I think she always knew somehow.
By the time I heard my bedroom door open, I was relieved that my erection had finally subsided. Katy came down the stairs in my clothes and sat down on the other end of the couch. Once she was comfortable, she reached behind her and pulled down the blanket that was draped over the back of the couch. It was big enough to cove us both, even though we were sitting on opposite ends. I could only imagine how cold she was from being in the rain and then coming into our house, that felt as if it was winter year round.
"So," I said after about ten minutes, "want to watch a movie?"
"Sure," said Katy, "let's watch Iron Man."
"You're a woman after my own heart. I knew there was a reason why I loved you," I said jokingly.
She started to giggle like a little girl as I got up and walked over to the shelf where we kept our DVDs. I found the right DVD, opened the case, and put it in the DVD player before sitting back down under the blanket. It was just then that I realized Katy hadn't brought the backpack with her clothes in it like she usually did when she stayed the night at my house.
"Hey, where is your backpack?" I asked.
"Damn it," she said. "I forgot it at home. I really don't want to go back out in that rain. If it doesn't let up you don't mind if I sleep in these clothes, do you?"
"Not really," I said.
And with that I pressed play on the remote to start the movie. For the next two hours we didn't do much except laugh at the funny parts of the movie and repeat our favorite quotes from the movie. When the movie finally finished it was about six o'clock and we were both kind of hungry. We decided to call and order a pizza since it was still raining.
"So, what do you want to do until the pizza gets here?" I asked.
"We could watch Iron Man two," she said.
"You really are tying to steal my heart aren't you?" I said as I walked back to the DVD player and replaced the disc inside it with the one we wanted to watch.
About twenty minutes into the movie we heard the doorbell ring to signal the arrival of our pizza. I paused the movie so I could go get it and pay the delivery guy. I took it into the kitchen and grabbed a couple of plates out of one of the cabinets. Katy was already in the kitchen so I handed her a plate and we both grabbed a couple of slices. Then we went back in the living room to finish watching the movie.
When the movie finally ended I got up and took both of our plates into the kitchen and put them in the sink. I closed the pizza box and put it in the fridge. When I walked back into the living room I saw Katy taking the DVD out and putting the third and final edition of the Iron Man series in. By this time the only light in the room was coming from the TV since we didn't have the lights on and it was so dark outside.
I sat back down on my end of the couch, smiling as she put it in. Then she turned around and, instead of going to her end of the couch, lifted the cover up and slid in front of me. This was not an uncommon thing for her to do. We usually did this when we stayed up late watching movies but after the thoughts I had earlier, really wished she hadn't done that. However, I resigned to the fact that she had done it and put my arm around her as we both lay there watching the movie.
About thirty minutes into the movie I realized that Katy's tight little butt, that I admired so much, was pressing up against my groin. I was no longer watching the movie after I noticed this. The only thing I was doing was fighting the inevitable erection I would get. The fight was obviously futile. My penis started to harden and when I felt it I whispered the only excuse I could think of, "Katy, I need you to get up. I have to go to the bathroom."
