Driving along Centurion Avenue, Tom Jenkins looked forward to seeing his favorite niece, Shasa, the daughter of his brother, Hank. Shasa was flying in from Washington, DC. Tom could only remember Shasa when he and his family visited Hank back in 1998. She was only 14 then. Now it is 2003, and Shasa is all grown up at 19. She had lost her mother who was killed in an auto accident when she was only 3 year old.
At the age of 56, Tom is still a handsome man, tall and wiry. He is much older than Hank, who is only 45. They are great pals, the two brothers. Shasa is Hank’s only child and Tom is her godfather. Tom loves and dots on Shasa since he and his wife Carol, are childless. Although both Tom and Carol had not seen their niece for almost five years, there had been letters, postcards and phone calls.
Scanning the arrival exits, Carol suddenly called out excitedly, “there she is, that’s Sha (they call her that), and look how she’s grown.”
They saw a tall willowy girl, with golden blond hair tied in a ponytail, eyes searching and then, waving at them. As she walked towards them, Tom eyes looked appreciatively at the beautiful teenager. Shasa was wearing a soft fabric blouse, with the two top buttons hanging loose. The blouse was tucked into faded jeans that accentuated her youthful body. Tom could not help but allow his eyes to wander to her slightly exposed chest and he can see the tops of her firm breasts.
Running towards them, Shasa flung her arms wide as she clasped Carol tightly, “Oh Auntie Carol, it’s so nice to see you,” she enthused. Looking at Tom, she smiled at him and turned to hug him. “God, I missed both of you so much,” she said. “And Dad sends his best regards, he wanted to come too but you know him, always work, work, work,” Shasa said.
As he drove home, Carol kept up the conversation with her niece, asking her about school and about Hank. Tom looked into the car mirror, seeing Shasa sitting there all grown up and he felt so much love for her, like the daughter they were unable to have. At the same time, he felt something else he could not put his finger on. God, no, he said to himself. Tom was looking at Shasa like the woman child, she had grown up to be.
During dinner, Tom kept stealing glances at Shasa as she talked animatedly between food about life back in Washington. Shasa had taken her bath when they got home and she was wearing a loose pajamas which made her looked so cute. Her long blond hair, every now and then, falling softly over her shoulders as she laughed heartily.
Shasa was given the guest room which did not have an adjoining bathroom. She had to use the one across the corridor. Tom’s bedroom was at the far end of the house.
After watching the late night show on television, they bid each other goodnight and retired to their respective rooms.
At 56, Tom and Carol still enjoy each other’s body but he could not respond when Carol kissed him. He kept thinking of his niece. After awhile, Carol turn over and slept.
Hearing a light being switched on, Tom got up. Carol was gently snoring. Quietly he made his way out of the room and saw that the bathroom light at the end of the corridor was on and the door slightly ajar. He walked towards it and with a thumping heart, Tom opened the bathroom door.
Their eyes momentarily, they stared at each other in surprise. Shasa was sitting on the toilet bowl, naked from the waist down. In the still of the night, both could hear her pissing.
“Ohhh, sorry dear,” Tom blurted out, but he kept looking as her golden shower fell. He did not make any attempt to move away.
Shasa looked at him with wide-open eyes and blushed. “I forgot to close the door,” she said meekly, suddenly realizing that she in an awkward situation. She could not control her urge to urinate and continued to do so until she finished. She could not take her gaze away from her uncle, who just stood there looking at her.
At 19, Shasa had never been naked from the waist down in front of anyone. There were the usual good night kisses when boys sent her home after movies and parties but nothing more than that. Now she felt very exposed, with Tom leaning against the wall and looking at her.
She got up and Tom could see the soft pubic hairs of his niece as she wiped herself with the toilet tissue. “Close the door the next time,” Tom told her, as he turned and walked out of the bathroom. He was having a raging hard on.
That night, Tom mounted his sleeping wife who was pleasantly surprised at her husband’s urgent needs.
Shasa almost died with shame knowing that her uncle had seen her half naked and pissing. She quickly made her way to her room, her mind in turmoil. She kept wondering why he did not leave immediately when he first stepped into the bathroom. Shasa fell into a dreamless sleep.
At breakfast, Shasa could not look at Tom, but Tom acted as though nothing out of the ordinary had taken place. The day passed by and both husband and wife took Shasa shopping at the local mall. As they walked along, taking in the sights, Tom took Shasa’s hand in his and smiled down at his niece. It was just a natural act and Shasa smiled back at him.
On the third day of her visit, Carol announced that she had to visit her sister who had just given birth. Carol’s sister was living in the neighboring county and she will be gone for two days. She said that Tom will be taking Shasa to the State fair, which was to begin the next day. Carol left at 3 in the afternoon, taking the train.
“You will love the Fair, Sha,” Tom told her, as he sat down on the lounge. “Well, what would you like to do today,” he smiled, looking at her.
“I think I’ll just rest today, and try out the new dresses that Aunt Carol bought for me,” she answered her uncle. She felt a bit uneasy in her uncle’s presence. She had never felt this way before with him, especially so, after the encounter the other night.
Once in her room, she soon forgot about her feelings as she tried on her new dresses. She made sure she closed the door but did not lock it as there was no key. Taking off her cloths, she put on the new one. It was a tank top and pants. The reflection in the mirror was of a young girl, slim, with nice curves in the right places. Yes, she looked good. Lost in her world, she was shocked when she saw Tom leaning against the door and smiling, looking at her in the mirror.
“Uncle Tom, when did you come in…..” she stammered. She turned to see her uncle looking at her. “I didn’t hear you knock” she said, as she tried to compose herself.
Tom walked over and sat on her bed. “You are a beauty, Sha, did you know that,” he said. “Don’t let me distract you, try on the other one,” he continued as though it was the most natural thing in the world, being in there with her.
