"I need to ask you for another favor," Kali said when I got to her room, "but I hope it doesn't get awkward."
"Ask away," I said. I was more than a little confused: my sister had said she wanted to show me what she'd bought at the mall, and she told me to wait a few minutes and then come to her bedroom with my camera, but here she was wearing the same t-shirt and shorts she'd been wearing a few minutes ago.
"I told you about Jason, right?"
"Sure, the guy you met at college orientation a couple of weeks ago."
"Well, there's more to it than I told you and Mom and Dad. I mean, not
that much
more, we didn't
do it
or anything that weekend, but we got got kind of close. I mean,
not close to doing it
," she corrected herself quickly, "but I mean close-close, to each other. We've been talking on the phone and chatting online every day, and I think once college actually begins at the end of August... well, things are going to happen. Is it too icky talking about this stuff with your sister?"
"Borderline icky," I told her. "So what do you need me for?"
"Well, I wanted to send him some photos of me. Not those tacky topless pictures some girls take of themselves with their cell phones in the bathroom mirror -- the first time he sees these, I want it to be in person -- but I want to send him something that makes sure he won't find another girl between now and August."
"Okay..." I said tentatively.
"Remember when Susie asked you about boudoir shots? That's what I'd like you to take for me. This isn't something I really want Jen and Susie to know about, and you're such a good photographer, and you've seen me in my underwear a million times anyway..."
"Fine, fine," I said. "You don't have to sell me on it. Just say when."
"Now, before I get cold feet," she said, taking off her shirt. "I just bought this today. Do you think he'll like it?"
Whoa
, I thought. I'd seen her in bras before, and that was no big deal, but this thing seemed to be only half a bra, coming up just maybe a half and inch above her nipples, which were plainly visible through the sheer material. "Um... yeah, but... do you realize this shows a lot more than Jen's bra did?"
"Pretty sexy, huh?"
"Well, yeah. Except for that 'sister' thing, you know."
"I bet you'd like to see Jen wearing this, huh?" I could feel myself turning red. "Oh, so that's what it takes to make my brother really blush, huh? Okay," she said, hooking her thumbs in her shorts, "ready for part two?"
As bad as her bra was, the panties might have been even worse: other than an opaque square of material covering... it seemed wrong to think of the word "pussy" when talking about my sister, but that's what it was ... it was as transparent as the bra. I could see that my sister shaved her public hair.
She caught me staring. "Yes," she said, "I had to shave before I put this on." She suddenly ran over to her bed and pulled the blanket up to her neck. "Maybe this wasn't such a great idea," she said softly.
I thought she may have been right. "I'll just leave. Should I leave?"
"Yes, maybe you... no. I don't know. Okay, you know what, take your pants off."
"Do
