It took a while before she called me back. I waited impatiently for some indication as to where she was and what she was doing.
To be sure, she'd left me a few dirty texts during a two-hour layover in the Dallas airport.
"Thinking of sucking your cock again," one said.
"Getting wet thinking about you inside me," said another.
Then she went totally silent, which I expected. It was all hands-on duty at the hospital with COVID cases running as high as they were. I lowered my expectations somewhat, trying to visualize how busy she must have been in such a chaotic environment. I would not have exchanged places with her for all the world. She made great money, but twelve-hour shifts will really take it out on you, even on the lightest of days.
Today was Saturday. I got a non-sexual text from her early that morning apologizing for the delay but letting me know that her next off day wouldn't be until Wednesday. She didn't offend me. Truth be told, I was proud of her for being so brave and courageous. "We'll talk then, baby," she promised. I believed her.
Honestly, my head was spinning quite a bit. We'd gone from Zero to Ninety in only a few frantic days. I could barely wrap my brain around it. It was all I could think about most days. My therapist told me that in situations like these it would be a good idea to journal it all out, to just set everything out there to best process very intense events like these. I've transformed them into stories both for your benefit and my own. My hope is that you've gotten as much pleasure out of them by reading as I have from direct experience.
My sister was many things, but timely was not one of them. If she said she'd call at 7 in the evening, I knew that meant close to 9. We were now separated by two time zones, which gave me a little extra time to talk that I knew we would both appreciate. Sure enough, the phone rang at 9 my time and her breathy, deep voice filled my ear.
"Hey you," she said, playfully.
"Hey sexy," I responded, immediately lowering the tone of my voice to match hers.
"What are you wearing?" I asked, getting right to the point.
"Well..." she stretched out her vowels a little, yawning from several hard day's work in a row.
