I was reticently excited about the fact that the summer vacation had opened its doors to me, and I would soon be comfortably laying on my local beach, shades adorned, surreptitiously observing the fine exhibition of all kinds of women. The city in which I live attracts a booming multicultural tourist influx over summer, and I can't say I'm disappointed that many of the female tourists feel unrestrained in the way they clothe themselves on the beach. I say 'reticent' because my parents, and subsequently one of my two siblings are deeply involved in Christian living, and to expose my voyeur infidelity so brazenly would needlessly lend to my parents quarrelling over my 'immorality'. The excitement I speak of was short-lived, however, as subsequent news meant that I wouldn't so soon be liberally gazing at the beach beauties. My parents had informed me that a trip up north had been planned for 4 days, in part to make the most of vacation time, to bond as a family, and perhaps most pertinently that my young brother, Nathan, would receive the trip as a gift for his 12th birthday. The destination, I was told, was at a town, about 3 hours north, and 1 hour inland to drive. The compound word, "inland", drilled at my foremost hopes of lazing on the hot summer sand.
Upon inquiring about the benefits of this impending destination, my mum, Jodie, said that there was a large waterpark in the area, and that that would be the primary stimulus of the gift to Nathan. She unsuccessfully tried to convey other points in order to interest me, like bushwalking, book reading, and would you believe she mentioned a church service that I could go to. The more I heard about this trip, the more it sounded like another boring family trip.
As I mentioned earlier, my parents and one sibling, that being Nathan, are associated closely with the Christian church, and as such, spend a lot of time and money 'giving God what He deserves'. Having sternly turned away from this lifestyle, along with my sister, there is forged a bipartisan separation in communication efficacy and morality between 'us 2' and 'those 3'. It is a strange family division, where, while we all get along fine, 'us 2' and 'those 3' clearly, yet clandestinely define a relational juncture.
In typical 'us 2' style, a parent would communicate something to one of us, and we would share it with the other. Ergo, I approached Hannah, my sister, to tell her about this planned trip, hoping also that she would lavish some mutual sympathies regarding the nature of the trip. Surprisingly, however, she seemed overly excited about the idea of the family getting away in the way that was described to me. At that stage, I knew I would have to bite the bullet, and try to make the adventure as fulfilling as possible. Hannah and I had always been very close and comfortably shared almost anything with her. I even joke with her about how I think she is so sexy and attractive, and that she should be a model. She shrugs it off thinking I'm joking, but only I know that those feelings are all too real.
Hannah, being 19, had been rounding out a wonderful stage of puberty in most guy's minds. She stands about 5'7", with long, sheek dark brown hair, and green/hazel eyes that seem so secretive and naughty so often. A cute nose above lips that beg to be kissed. Her frame is quite petite, with a body tone that has been worked at (and attested to because we work out together 4 times a week). Her breasts had finally stabilised after growing to be fuller than her body would suggest, something around the range of a man's handful. Her blemishless skin is of a creamy alabaster colour, which appears so smooth to touch, and to me, invites a real innocence about her. Hannah's stomach is what we'd been working on for this summer, so we'd got it from being a moderate roll, to being firm and flat. Her butt is probably the main physical source of adoration on my part of Hannah. She always wears these black tights when we work out, and I can't believe how her butt cheeks remain taut, overhanging the back of her legs, yet being packaged so tightly in a curve that shouts above her small waist, and toned legs. I can't count how many times I have gaped at her ass while she skips or squats or runs. Come to think of it now, I think it's almost impossible that she hasn't caught me checking her out. She hasn't mentioned or even shown any discomfort about the way I look at her. In fact, whenever we workout together, she's always in a really bubbly mood, and can't help but smile. As a whole, Hannah was my ideal girl, I just knew I had to control my feelings, and make sure I only internalised these sick, lust filled thoughts of her.
My dad, Craig, was affixing the final bit of luggage to the roof of our car, and without a sweat, seemed in good shape for being 47. We piled into the car to set off to this 'holiday' spot. Hannah and I, being the rather older of the 3 kids, at 19 and 21 respectively, sat either side of Nathan, behind the parents in front. I had often wondered why Nathan was so much younger than Hannah and I, and it was only around then that I had suspected he was an accident; an unintended child.
The drive was rather quick, being split by some lunch on the way, and we had arrived at a nice looking villa, which appeared quite isolated amongst a deep nest of trees and bushland, which steeped away not far from the edge of the house. There was no pool, to my disappointment, but upon searching inside, there was an indoor Jacuzzi, which I figured could be fun to hang around. We spent the rest of the day settling in and claiming rooms, before sleeping ahead of the next day's sojourn to Nathan's promised waterpark.
Wanting to sleep in more than anyone else, I was the last to get in the car before a short drive to the waterpark at about 10 in the morning. It wasn't long before we had arrived at 'Splash 'N' Dash Waterpark'. I remember it being a lot bigger than I thought it would be, being in what I thought was a relatively remote area of the country. Upon entering, I was even more surprised by the vast amount of people that spread across the large outdoor space. At a guess, there was about 20 medium to large water rides, surrounding a massive wave pool, which seemed to be popular.
Nathan's excitement pervaded my inspection of the place when he nudged me, saying that he would go on a particular ride, as he pointed toward it. It was an extremely tall curved slippery dip waterslide, which upon initial scanning, did appear to be one of the more life threatening attractions. It wasn't uncommon for my little brother to try to appear brave in front of me, which I found cute, but annoying at the same time. I knew however that I wasn't going anywhere, so I thought I would do the most I could to make it a good time for everyone. And being Nathan's birthday, I thought I would exert some energy for his benefit. With that, I offered him a race to the wave pool. He took off, knowing that I would give him a head start. He flopped out of his thongs, but didn't even hesitate to remove his shirt as he bolted forward. In my handicap, I used the time to remove my shirt, revealing a chest which I was deservedly admirable of, leaving myself in some boardshorts, before I childishly rushed after him, leaving a throng of clothes behind us. I had genuinely tried to catch him, but my handicap proved too much, much to the joy of Nath. I had lost any sense of trying to enjoy things, and had entered living in the moment, as Nath and I ventured toward the waves that broke further yonder.
Meanwhile, mum, dad and Han found a place for the family to make a base, which had a bundle of stretch seats, and some grass, with a shading device near atop. I had looked over briefly to ascertain their position, and noticed that all three of them were watching Nath and I catch some waves. I could also see Hannah removing her singlet to show her new bikini, which opened up more than last season's belly covering one piece. I was proud of her, mainly due to the fact that we had destroyed that kilo or two of fat at her belly.
