The next day was Christmas eve. I hadn’t even found a job yet. I hadn’t bought any presents. The only thing I’d managed to do was get drunk a couple of times, get in a fight, and make my sister come on my fingers a few times. The last one made the first two weeks of my break a success. I know that seems a little perverted, but if you had seen my sister, the look in her eyes, the way I’d turned her life around with something so simple, you’d have to agree.
Christmas was on a Sunday. Mom only got one day off, the day after Christmas, but she reminded me that we were going to have a big Christmas eve dinner, and she wanted me home no later than six. Once she was out the door, Teri and I returned to my bed, and we spent another hour or so ‘teaching’ her about sex. She was still slow to get off, but with patience and a little effort, I had her come for me twice, and she gave me a couple of handjobs. I knew we were pushing the limits of what we should be doing, but it was a hell of a way to start the day.
As soon as we cleaned up from the second one, I climbed off the bed.
“Stay, Travis,” she said. “Let’s play a little longer. Teach me more about kissing.”
It was tempting. I leaned over and gave her a little kiss. “I’d love to, but I still haven’t done my Christmas shopping. It’s now or never.”
She pouted, then gave me a grin. “I know what Mom wants.”
That was good, cause I had no idea. None. Zilch. “What?”
“A new stereo for her car. The old one doesn’t play her CDs any more. I was going to get her one, but even the cheap ones cost like seventy bucks, and they want even more money to install them.”
“Did she say what kind she wanted?” I asked.
“No. I don’t think she even cares. She just likes to listen to her CDs.”
“You want to split the cost of one with me? I’ll install it for her tomorrow. It shouldn’t be that hard.”
She beamed. “That would be great! Just not too expensive, alright?”
“No problem. I’m sure that they’re on sale somewhere. I’m not made of money either.”
She got dressed while we spoke, and I couldn’t help but notice how nice her body was. She really was pretty. “You want to go shopping with me?”
I saw her eyes lose their glitter, and knew she was still hesitant about going out. Kyle had really done a job on her confidence. She shook her head. “I don’t think so. I got stuff I need to do anyway. If you get a chance, you could pick up some wrapping paper. Stuff a guy would like.” She grinned when she said that.
I gave her another quick kiss. “Got it. Wish me luck, going out shopping today. I hope I don’t get killed out there.”
“Luck,” she said, and then the little tease rubbed my crotch. I’d created a monster.
A simple single CD car stereo only ran me about $60. I had figured on spending $50 each on Mom and Teri. If Teri split the cost with me, I could still buy Mom her favorite bubble-bath from Bath and Body Works. I had no idea what I was going to get my sister.
In the end I did something a little crazy. I could only hope she liked it.
I got home before five, beating Mom home. Teri and I wrapped Mom’s gift from the two of us, then I gave her the paper I’d bought for her, and we each disappeared into our own rooms to finish wrapping our presents. We had just finished putting them under the tree, when Mom arrived.
Mom and Teri started working on our big dinner, while I was tasked with setting the table, and getting a fire going in the fireplace.
“Travis?” Mom called out, while I was lighting the starter log.
“Just a sec,” I said, before getting the paper going, and turning to see her standing in the kitchen entrance.
“I need you to go to the store for a couple of things. I made a list.”
Great. The only thing worse than last minute Christmas shopping, was last minute grocery shopping on Christmas eve. But it was Christmas, so I wasn’t going to make a big deal out of it.
“Take your sister with you, she knows the kind of stuffing I want.”
“Mom!” Teri whined, stretching the word out to three syllables.
“Go on now. And don’t give me any sass. Besides, you’re out of shampoo, aren’t you?”
Teri pouted, rolling her eyes, but she put on her jacket, and followed me out the door, Mom’s list in one hand, and three twenties clutched in the other.
She was quiet as I drove. “Smile, sis. Is it that horrible being seen in public with me?” I teased.
She heaved a big sigh. “Of course not.”
“C’mon. Gimme a grin.”
She turned and bared her teeth at me. It was kind of scary. Then she snorted and started giggling. Little sis was back.
The shopping was pretty easy. The list wasn’t long, and the place wasn’t as crowded as I thought it would be, despite the fact they were closing in half-an-hour. Everything was going smoothly, until I felt her hand clutching at my arm. “Can we go, Travis?” she whispered.
I looked down at her, and her eyes were glued to the floor, as she tried to hide behind me. I looked up, and dick-breath was there, at the end of the aisle. I don’t know if he was smirking, or scared, but he was staring at us. He was also standing with his mother and sister.
I started walking his way, my anger growing. As I got closer, I could see he had a hell of a shiner, and he was backing away. Teri was tucked in behind me, clutching my arm. I didn’t want to embarrass her, but I still had a bone to pick with her ‘boyfriend’.
As I got closer, his mother noticed my approach, and saw Teri behind me. She started to smile then it faded when she saw the look on my face. She glanced back at her son, as I got within a few paces.
“Hey asshole,” I said loudly. “Did you tell your Mom how you fucked my sister and broke her heart on a ten dollar bet? You tell your family how you humiliated her, letting your friends take pictures of her naked, before dumping her the last day of school?”
