He felt like sleeping but he saw that the sun was pretty high in the sky when he rolled over and looked out the window. He groaned and covered his head with his pillow.
“You lives!” Becky smirked.
“How could you be awake already?” He asked grumpily.
“I only work up about a half an hour ago,” his cousin laughed. “By the way, Susan and Brandon said to tell you that it was nice meeting you.”
“What time did they leave?” He asked as he sat up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes.
“Not long after you passed out,” she teased. “I’m surprised you didn’t try and get into Susan panties last night.”
“She doesn’t seem the type,” He shrugged, and then grinning added, “Besides, her brother was with her.”
“You’re right,” Becky replied. “She’s not the type.”
“Think she had agree to come visit me one weekend?” He asked.
“Why? Linda and Lucy weren’t enough for you?”, Becky said, sounding annoyed. Her tone surprised him because Becky was normally pretty easy going.
“Ouch!” He said defensively while thinking to himself that he was lucky Becky didn’t know about hesabella or Stella.
“Sorry,” Becky sighed. “I’m still a little tired.”
“Me too,” He said as he stretched.
“Well, you have been very busy this visit,” she grinned, her sense of humor returning.
“I don’t think I could survive another weekend like this,” He complained melodramatically.
“But you’re willing to try,” Becky said knowingly.
“Only if I must,” He laughed. Becky shook her head.
“Why don’t you go take a shower, lover boy,” she said sarcastically. “Lucy went to the library and is supposed to meet up with some friends for lunch. She will be back in time to say goodbye.” He nodded and grabbed his towel.
He took a long, hot bath and dressed in a tee shirt and sweats. Becky was sitting at her desk staring off into space when he returned.
“What are you thinking?” He asked. Becky shook her head.
“Nothing really,” she replied, but he knew she was lying.
“Bull,” He said succinctly. It made her laugh.
“I never could keep anything from you,” she said, but didn’t explain. He waited patiently.
“Becky, talk to me,” He finally prompted. “Is it what happened between Lucy, Linda and you?”
“That was amazing,” she said, sounding confused by her own words.
“Are you okay with it?” He asked and Becky snorted.
“It’s little late to worry about that now,” she said. She was upset. He could tell.
“It wasn’t that big of a deal,” He said trying to calm her.
“Not a big deal! I had sex with not one, but two members m of the same sex for the first time and I enjoyed it,” she said, shaking her head. “I watched you, my cousin, fuck them both and I enjoyed it!”
“You are only human,” He said. “There is nothing wrong with experimenting. It’s not like having sex with woman makes you a lesbian.”
“How do you know?” Becky asked angrily. He realized that they were getting to the crux of the matter now.
“Becky, you’ve had sex with a man before and enjoyed it,” He reasoned. Mike and Becky shared a lot during the summer they spent together.
“Yes,” she answered, but then sighed and added, “But not half as much as I enjoyed yesterday.”
“So, maybe you are a lesbian. Would that be so bad?” He asked, though It was not the right thing to say.
“You are such a jerk!” Becky snapped as she stood and stormed toward the door. He grabbed her hand and pulled her back.
“I’m sorry!” He apologized quickly. “I don’t really think there is anything that wrong with being a lesbian, but that doesn’t mean it’s for you.” Becky stopped fighting him and looked up with tear filled eyes.
“I never thought there was anything wrong with it either,” she said. “But that doesn’t mean I want to be one!”
“You know, you could just be bisexual,” He offered, but then quickly added when she didn’t seem placated, “Or maybe it was just college experimenting.”
“You think?” she asked hopefully. He fought hard not to smile. This really seemed to bother Becky.
“It’s possible,” He replied. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
“Maybe,” she finally said. “But then again, I really did enjoy myself. It was a lot better than with Robby.” Robby was her old boyfriend from high school.
“That might have to do more with Robby then with men in general,” He reasoned. He felt guilty that he might be giving poor Robby a bum rap, but Becky was really upset and he was more than willing to sacrifice his reputation if it would help his cousin.
“I was his first as well,” she said thoughtfully.
“So, just chalk it up to inexperience,” He smiled. “Why don’t you pick a new guy and see what happens.”
“It’s not like I can just go up to any guy and asked them to sleep with me,” Becky sighed. He snorted.
“Why not?” He said. “A guy would have to be crazy to pass up an chance at you.”
“Well first of all, unlike other members of my family, I don’t just meet someone and jump into bed with them,” Becky sighed.
“You are in college,” He grinned. “This is the time to do crazy and stupid things.”
“You are my cousin and I love you, but you are a sick bastard,” she laughed.
“Well, who would you pick?” He asked, refusing to change the subject.
“I don’t know,” she replied.
“Oh, come on! You can’t tell me there is not a guy you wouldn’t love to…” He began, but Becky cut him off.
“I have no intention of ruining my reputation like that!” she snapped.
“Afraid they would kick you out of your ‘goody two shoes’ sorority?” He asked with a raised eyebrow.
“They probably would,” she said, shaking her head. “But that’s only part of the reason. I just don’t feel comfortable sleeping with a stranger.”
“So, then make friends with someone,” He prompted.
“You make it sound so easy,” Becky sighed, hesitated and then added, “And for you it probably is, but I’m not you.”
“No,” He agreed. “You’re far better looking than me.” Becky rolled her eyes.
“Thanks,” she said sarcastically.
“I mean it!” He said emphatically. Becky just shook her head.
“Why don’t we first start by writing a list of meb you’re interested in?” He asked, trying a different tact.
“I don’t think so,” she replied.
“Oh, come on! If nothing else it will be fun,” He argued. “Who is the last guy you daydreamed about being with?” Becky’s eyes grew big. “Who?”
“Nobody,” she said quickly.
“Come on! Tell me!” He demanded. She didn’t reply, so he spent the next few minutes pushing her to answer. He could tell he was getting to her nerve with his constant peppering of questions.
“Why won’t you tell me who it is?” He said in exasperation. She threw her hands up in the air.
“Because it was you! You jerk!” she cried, and then looked mortified. He froze in stunned silence.
