(To my readers, those who were looking for submissions early, I'm sorry for not getting something written. This is a short one that I wrote in about half an hour and I hope it is worth the read. I dabble a little in the bed wetting; but that's the deepest it goes.)
ENJOY!

It was at the start of summer; that's when our parent's anniversary was. They always took a two week trip out of the country, always saved so they could too.
My sister was exactly one year older than me. Well...one year and a day. I was born June 10th, her; June 11th, and she always had to point it out.
We had said our goodbyes to our parents and they were well on their way to the airport. I went to my room to play computer games; my sister went out with friends for a while. I quit around 10 in the evening, went to bed to watch T.V. until I fell asleep; which was never long.
I heard her get home.
"Kari?" I asked.
"No," she said. "I'm not drunk." She came to my open bedroom door and looked in. "I didn't feel up to drinking tonight." She smiled. "Why so concerned Ben?"
"No real reason," I said. "I just can't stand the complaining the next morning about the hangover and how you 'regretted' drinking so much."
She rolled her eyes at me and smirked. "Good night," she said leaving.
I was asleep within ten minutes and woke to the sound of my sister clattering down in the kitchen.
You must want a little background. We've had a good relationship, my sister and I. Healthy and considerate. She is 22, and as you figured then, I'm 21. We never really fought, and we respected each other. Some thought we were too close for brother and sister; but I never thought so. Until THAT day.
I walked into the kitchen and there stood my sister in her silk nightie. A short thing that left little to the imagination; but enough to tease.
"Hey Ben," she said casually.
"Heh," I wisped.
"What?" she asked looking down at herself. "I felt a little...adventurous. Sue me." She turned back and finished cooking. "Eggs?" She set the food on my plate and smiled. "Do you work today?"
"I have a half day since they need me to go to a full day meeting at the end of the week. I go in at 12 and I'll be home about 5."
"I have this week off, and half of next week as well, while the books are being done for end of quarter." She sighed. "I love doing strategic inventory."
I rolled my eyes and laughed.
The morning continued uneventfully, and I left for work. That too was uneventful; but when I got home it was a whole different story.
I walked in the door and my sister was snoozing on the couch. She was wearing her pajama pants and a very small tight top that was riding high giving me a view of her little tummy bulge. She woke when I shut the door.
With stretch she stood and looked at me. "Hey. I was wondering, how about we order out tonight? Pizza?"
"Works for me," I said.
While I sat down she did the ordering. I watched her as she walked around the room and wondered if she had some secret motive of some sort. I couldn't see one, so I shrugged it off.
The pizza arrived and we pulled out the beer, and watched some movies on cable. We finished the pizza, and around midnight I jostled Kari awake.
"Come on," I said with a grunt trying to pull her from the couch. "Let's get to bed. I may have a half day; but I still have to go to work tomorrow."
"Ben," said my sister. "Could you do something for your drunk sister?"
I chuckled at her and smiled. "What?"
"My bed sheets are in the dryer; would you bring them to my room and spread them out for me?"
"Sure," I said.
I halfway dragged my sister to her room where I sat her down in her computer chair and went to get her bedding. The only problem was that it wasn't in the dryer; it was still in the washer and still wet.
"You know," I said as I walked into her room. "You're going to have to do without since you don't have spare sheets."
"Of course I have spare sheets!" she shouted drunkenly. She paused and thought. "Don't I?"
