When I awoke, Donovan's arms were still holding me. My stomach growled at me, and the fact that the sun was setting, indicated that it was evening instead of late afternoon. I looked at my watch and saw that 3 hours had passed. It was now suppertime. I giggled when my brother's stomach began complaining as well.
He woke up immediately and looked at me with a mischievous grin.
"Looks like I've slept with my sister. Are you still hungry?" he winked at me.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, I AM! I think we better eat first though," I returned wickedly, catching his double meaning.
Donovan got out of his bed and picked me up, standing me up on the floor. He was showing off his strength in a way that reminded me of a caveman. He then shocked me further by lifting and carrying me, stark naked, downstairs to the kitchen.
"Donovan Riordan McKensie, put me down NOW! Quit this caveman routine now! I'm getting QUITE tired of it!" I demanded, hitting his naked ass with my fist a couple of times.
"Dorean Riona McKensie, I told you to stop calling me that! Besides, I am the man in this relationship, and if I want to brag and strut, I am allowed to do that! I rather enjoy carrying your naked butt downstairs and you're gonna get it for calling me that and hitting my ass with your fists!" he said, slapping my bottom with his hands and making it smart slightly.
"Okay, okay, but could you just stop the Neanderthal attitude and let me walk somewhere for a change! Besides that, why are you taking me downstairs buck naked, anyway? What if someone saw us this way?" I complained.
"First of all, I will put you down once we get to the kitchen. Secondly, I plan to keep you naked as much as I can in the future. After all, we won't have to go anywhere tomorrow. Finally, the doors are locked, the curtains are closed, and the maid is not due back until tomorrow afternoon. That gives us plenty of privacy," he retorted sternly.
When we finally made it to the kitchen, he set me down as he had promised. We went to the oven and found the casserole that the maid had prepared earlier this afternoon. She had just left before I stormed into the house today. She generally worked 4 hours a day, 5 days a week, unless needed for special occasions. Since our parents would be gone for at least a month, she would show up on Saturday afternoon to make dinner for the rest of the weekend, even though we told our parents that this was not necessary. We could cook for ourselves, but our parents were concerned about keeping us away from too much junk food in their absence.
"MMMM… This smells good! It looks like her tuna casserole. If you will get us plates and silverware, I will carry this to the table," Donavon asked of me.
"I love her tuna casserole!" I replied going and getting the plates and silverware to set the table for us.
We ate dinner and talked about what we wanted to do during the summer. He had a grim look on his face after a while, though, and I wondered what was going through his mind. Finally, I asked him what was bothering him so much.
"Well, I don't know what exactly you found out about Paul and Lisa. How did you find out, for that matter? Did she confess to you or did he? Why didn't he touch you, by the way? Most cheating boyfriends will still sleep with their girlfriends. What happened between the two of you? Was it really just that he didn't like your figure and temper? What's the business about him using you to get into Lisa's pants?" he asked, clearly upset at the completely sordid affair. It was understandable of him, since no brother likes to see his sister mistreated.
"Well, if you must know the nasty tale, here it is. We were all supposed to meet at the mall at noon to eat together. I got there earlier than I was expected and decided to walk around for a few minutes. I walked over to our favorite store to see if they had anything new. I wanted this really cool Goth t-shirt. I hoped that they had it in stock.
"I suddenly spotted Paul there with Lisa. I was about to approach them, but then I noticed that they were a little more intimate than what friends would be. It seemed that they were acting more like lovers, with his hand possessively around her waist. While I took all of this in, I then saw Paul lean in toward Lisa and kiss her on the lips, which was clearly the act of a cheater.
"Rather than give myself away and seem like the paranoid girlfriend spying on her beau, I decided to let them think that they were still getting away with it. I would confront them once they arrived at the food court. I had not yet decided how I was going to tackle the scene I had just witnessed at the store.
"I went to the food court ahead of schedule and bought myself a sticky bun and soda. I had lost my appetite, but I knew that I needed something in my system for the upcoming dispute, even if it was only a snack. I was definitely NOT going to keep my lunch plans with them. I picked out a table where I could spot them as they came down the corridor.
"I had finished my snack by the time that Paul and Lisa arrived in the food court. They walked over to my table, spotted the trash from my food, and asked if I had been waiting for a while. I looked at my watch and said yes for about 30 minutes. I was window shopping, saw something that disturbed me, and came here for a snack. I didn't feel like shopping anymore.
"At this point, Paul sat down by my side and wanted to put his arm around me, which I shook off. They asked what had upset me. I said that it was something that I witnessed in Spencer's. When I said that, I saw them exchange a quick, worried glance at each other. I decided that I could not stand it any more and asked them how long they had been FUCKING each other!
"They tried to ask what I was talking about. I told them to cut the crap, as I saw them kissing. I said that it was not a friendly kiss on the cheek, but one of 2 lovers! They knew that the gig was up and confessed. I, as it turned out, was not Paul's type. He said that I was a loud mouth and too fat! The only reason that he went out with me in the first place was to try to get with Lisa. Knowing that she was my best friend, he figured he had a better chance to wear her down.
"Lisa said, 'I'm sorry. I couldn't help it I just fell in love with him! I didn't want to tell you, because I knew that you would be angry and I did not want to hurt you'.
"I angrily replied, 'So you figured that you would just FUCK my boyfriend behind my back? How long has this been going on?'
"It turned out that they had been seeing each other for a year now. They did not want to tell me, because they were afraid of my probable reaction. Lisa didn't want to lose my friendship. They figured that Paul and I would 'grow apart' after school was over, which would leave the way open for Lisa to date him publicly with my blessing.
"They also figured that I would get horny and tired of Paul not fucking me, which might prompt me to dump him for another guy. I would take the blame for the break-up instead of him.
"That last bit really pissed me off. I grabbed what was left of my soda and ice, calmly dumping into his lap.
"I said, 'I'm too hot for you to handle? Don't like my temper? Take this! Maybe that will cool things down for you!'
"I threw the near-empty cup at Lisa, saying 'you wanted to save our friendship? Well, you should thought of that before you SCREWED my boyfriend, you slutty bitch! You should have told me how you honestly felt about him, instead of sneaking around! I would have been mad, but I would have understood more.
"'As for you, Paul, I will NEVER get why you used me and pretended to like me more than you did! You're a fucking coward for doing things that way! I will NEVER forgive either one of you for this! You wasted 2 years of my life that I could have spent with someone who REALLY cared for me! You'd better hope Donovan doesn't come after your sorry asses!' I answered."
"Well, their hopes are gonna be dashed, because I'm really about to tear Paul and Lisa each a new asshole! I will arrange for both of them to pay BIG TIME for hurting my baby sister! And, before you say that you're not my 'baby sister', let me point out that I still feel protective of you, whatever our age difference.
"If we're finished, maybe we should go ahead and put the dishes in the dishwasher and stick the rest of the casserole in the icebox. I've got another hunger that needs to be satisfied," he gave her a knowing grin.
"Ok, that sounds like fun, but what are you planning on doing to them for their deception? I don't want to get into any trouble either!" I asked him nervously.
"Don't worry, Sis. You won't get in trouble for what I have in mind. In fact, the two of those assholes will want to keep everything QUITE secret, for their own sakes. They'll be far too embarrassed to say anything to anybody about our revenge. I doubt my buddies will say a word about it, either," Donovan reassured me with a wicked look in his eye.
"What do you mean by 'my buddies won't say anything'?" I inquired with some concern.
"They're gonna help their teammate and his little sister get revenge on those who wronged her," he explained vaguely.
"You're involving the whole football team!" I said eyes wide with shock.
"But, of course! We jocks stick together, especially against a preppy shithead whom they suspect of fucking their girlfriends. Lisa is just a cheerleading tease, who fucks around on all of her boyfriends and flashes everyone else. I wonder if Paul knows what a slut he is dating! She also plays up the image of the perfect Catholic schoolgirl. Some of us, however, know her better than that," Donovan informed me bluntly.
"Why haven't you told me this before? You just NOW bring this stuff up. It makes me wonder if you're just inventing stuff because you're pissed at them!" I inquired.
"Like you would ever believe a bunch of jocks such as me and my friends! Half of the stuff we talk about is locker room gossip anyway. Notice that I said 'suspect' when referring to Paul's womanizing ways? Lisa HAS been shamelessly flirting with the jocks! She's even come on to me, but I turned her down flat! I didn't say anything to you about her because she was your best friend, so you wouldn't believe me anyway. After what you've told me about what they've done, I suspect that most of the rumors were true," Donovan replied.
"Well, if I didn't know better already, I would be pissed at you for saying such things. I guess you DO have a point about my not believing your claims. Anyway, you still haven't told me what kind of revenge you have in mind for them," I responded.
