My sister....wow.....how do I start.
My mother died when we were younger and my father became distant and depressed. He immersed himself in his work as a lawyer. My sister and I hardly saw him, between boarding school and travel.
The day I want to tell you about happened when I was 20 and my sister had just turned 18. I was backpacking around the world then and had just come home from Europe. My family owns a large apartment in New York, I know, lucky right?
Anyway, my sister was about to go off to College and she was nervous about leaving dad behind.
"Don't worry about him" I reassured her. "He loves his job, you've got your whole life to think about. College will be wicked"..."You're right big bro, I guess I'm just feeling a little guilty, I don't want him to feel like he's losing us like he lost mom..." We both fell silent. "Hey, why don't we go out for drinks tonight and celebrate!" I offered. "Okay!! What are we celebrating??" my sister asked gleefully. "Being in the best family in the world!!" I said proudly. We both laughed and smiled and went on gossiping about our friends and life in general. My sister was truly my best friend.
Later that night I got so fucked up. WE got so fucked up. We were out at rooftop clubs, dive bars in the city, dancing and taking drugs. My sister loved MDMA and we popped some pills together. We were dancing on the dance floor with some of our friends we had met out, and she began to grind her petite body on me. I went along with the joke and held her hips as she twerked to the music. It was weird maybe, but we didn't care, no one did everyone was fucked up and having a great time! I can vaguely remember her leaning back against my chest at one point and I kissed her on the lips and then some tongue and I gripped her gyrating hips and danced to the heavy drill music.
On the walk home we were giggling like children and cradling each other closely. We got back to the apartment, dad wasn't home as he never was, and so we went out onto the balcony to smoke a joint to bring us down from the ecstasy.
