Chapter 2

Later that night, after dinner, my parents had gone outside to water the garden and sit outside as they always did. My brother Nick went into the shower and I saw this as the perfect opportunity to go to his room and get on his phone to delete the pictures I had accidentally sent him.

I heard the shower going so I quickly snuck into his room and frantically searched for his phone. My brother's room was a lot tidier than mine that was for sure. My eyes searched the room. His bed was neatly made, sure there were a few items of clothing on the floor but nothing like the mess in my own room.

I spotted his phone near his desk. He had it charging. I rushed towards the black phone unplugged it and pressed the button to start it up. I cursed out loud when I realized he had it locked. Damnit! Now I needed to figure out the four digit password. I tried to think hard. I entered 1995 the year he was born. Rejected. I entered in 2012 his graduation year. Rejected. Damnit! I tried to think harder. What the hell would he put as his password? I tried 1717 his age twice. Nothing. My eyes began to water again. Damnit!

I must have been concentrating so hard because I didn't hear when Nick had come out of the shower. By the time I realized he finished his shower, he stood by his door wearing his boxer shorts and nothing else.

"What are you doing?" He asked angrily.

I held on to the phone. "What's your password?" I demanded.

"I can't believe this! You're trying to get into my phone?" Nick yelled at me.

"Tell me the fucking password!" I choked.

"Give me my phone Vanessa," Nick said as he began to approach me.

"No! Tell me!" I snapped.

Nick walked over to me and tried to take the phone away from my grip. I held on tighter and struggled against him. Nick was behind me and I hunched my back holding the phone down between my knees.

"Vanessa, I'm not kidding, give me my phone now!" Nick insisted.

"Not until you let me erase the pictures you pervert!"

Nick grabbed me and threw me against his bed. I fell on my back still keeping my grip on the phone. Nick grabbed the phone and easily yanked it out of my hands. He sat up but I didn't give up so easily.

I snatched the phone away from him again and Nick went right back trying to take it away from me.

"You better tell me! Or I'm going to break your phone and you'll lose my pictures and whatever other perverted stuff you have on your phone!" I screamed as we continue to fight.

Nick climbed on top of me and started tickling me. I hated when people tickled me and he knew that. I lost my grip on the phone as I tried to keep myself controlled over his tickling.

He took the phone away from me again and threw it on the floor. It made a soft thud. He had carpet in his room so I knew the phone wasn't damaged. Nick pinned my hands over my head.

"Vanesa, I'm going to let you go and when I do you better just leave my room. You better not go after my phone."

I was panting. "Fine," I lied.

Nick slowly climbed off me. I felt his warm body lift up slowly. I quickly got off the bed and rushed to grab the phone.

Nick groaned and got behind me to take the phone away. I squealed as he tried to take the phone from my hands.

"Vanessa, you lied!" Nick said angrily.

"Just erase my fucking pictures!" I yelped as he grabbed me and threw me on the bed again.

He climbed on top once again and this time I struggled harder. I was not letting go of that phone even if he tickled me.

"Vanessa, let go!"

"No!" I screamed.

He pinned me down with my arms to the side. I held the phone tight with my right hand and I started struggling harder. I hadn't realized how far my shirt had ridden up. It slid above my belly button and then a little above my ribs. Nick held me down good. So good I couldn't even move anymore. Then I realized how he was on top of me and how his skin was on my skin. He looked down and asked me in a serious tone.

"Are you going to give me my phone?"

I nodded. "No way."

He smirked and leaned down and started kissing me. At first I gasped when I felt Nick's lips on mine. They were so tender and warm. I turned my head to break our kiss. Nick was panting loudly above me. He shifted his body slightly and I instantly felt his erection on my leg.

"Are you going to give me my phone?" He asked.

I felt my mouth open but nothing came out. I was too distracted by my baby brother's erection.

He leaned down and placed another kiss on my lips. This time I laid still and let his mouth explore mine. I had to admit, he wasn't a bad kisser. He kissed me open mouth and his tongue quickly found mine. As soon as his tongue caressed mine I opened my eyes and with all my strength I pushed him off of me.

I jumped up from the bed and threw him the phone. He caught it and stared up at me with intense eyes.

"Keep your stupid phone you pervert!" I yelled and felt tears spill down my face.

I ran out of his room and into my own room. I slammed the door and locked it shut. My heart was pounding wildly. I flopped down on my bed and cried. I sobbed uncontrollably at times touching my lips because Nick's kiss had felt so unreal but I knew it was real. So very real.

For the rest of the weekend, I avoided talking to Kate and Nick, my boyfriend was at an out of town game. Not to mention the fact that my parents had decided to go visit my grandmother out in the country. I was left all alone with my brother. I went out to the mall and spent hours there hoping to see less of my brother. I still had to figure out a way to get those pictures from his phone. But then I thought about it. What if he saved them somewhere? Fuck!

I hadn't wanted to call her because she had pissed me off, but I ended up calling Kate while I was at the mall.

"Vanessa! Oh my god! I've been calling you, texting you and leaving you voice messages! Why the hell haven't you called me?"

She yelled at me over the phone so loud I had to take the phone away from my ear. "I was mad at you ok?" I responded.

"Mad? For what?"

"You pissed me off by suggesting I should get with my own brother."

She laughed. "I was kidding Vanessa. Ok ... well not really but hey, I'm sorry ok?"

"Ok. Can I come over to your place? In fact can I stay there all weekend?"

Kate was quiet.

"Kate?"

"Why do you want to stay all weekend? I mean not that I mind but just asking."

"I don't want to be home alone with Nick ok?"

Kate giggled. I cringed. Why couldn't she let it go?

"Stop it Kate! Can I stay over or not?"

"Yeah sure come on over. Just bring some clothes. I mean you could borrow some of my clothes but there's no way I'm lending you my underwear."

"I got it I'm going to buy me some underwear don't worry I won't be using yours with holes on them."

"Hey! They are crotchless undies thank you very much!"

I laughed. "Eww! I'll see you in a bit."

I hung up and went to buy me some underclothes. There was no way I wanted to go home and face my brother. Although, I still thought about that kiss...

I got to Kate's apartment later that evening. Kate was making some fish sticks and macaroni and cheese. I got there as she was taking the fish sticks out of the oven.

"Aww honey you didn't have to cook dinner for me," I joked.

Kate rolled her eyes. "I know you got to be hungry. I bet you didn't eat at the mall did you?"

I nodded. I actually hadn't eaten all day.

"Well have a seat. Dinner will be served shortly."

I put down my shopping bags on the couch and headed to the kitchen. Fish sticks and box macaroni and cheese had never tasted better.

"So ... you avoiding your brother huh?" Kate asked with a smirk on her face.

I sighed. "Yes, ok?"

"Is he looking at you differently?" She asked her voice getting serious.

I narrowed my eyes at her. "Is this shit turning you on or what?"

She blushed. "I'm just asking."

"Look, I don't want to talk about it ok?"

She shrugged. "Ok. But I've known you for too long to know that you will eventually talk about it."

There was no way I was going to tell Kate that Nick had kissed me. She would want details and I wasn't about to discuss that. But deep down I knew Kate was right. I always ended up spilling my secrets to her.

On Monday, I tried to push the thought of Nick's kiss out of my head. I had managed to stay at Kate's until Sunday afternoon once my folks got home. I stayed in my room and avoided my brother. Once at school, I looked for Nick, my boyfriend, after my last class for the day. I found him at the student lounge sitting with some of his football buddies and the two sluts Misty and Julie.
