“Did your cousin behave?” My mother asked as she set her rolling suitcase next to the dining room table and walked into the living room. She looked tired from her trip.
I looked over to Carey who was sitting on the furthest cushion of the couch. She was wearing her little shorts again. She had been reading with her knees pulled up so high that they nearly touched her chin. I couldn’t help but stare at her almost naked lower half. My mother didn’t seem to notice it. Carey smiled and nodded.
“He did.” She said. “But, he did force me to watch a scary movie.”
“What?” I said in shock.
“Ay-yah, Matt!” My mother cried out in mock anger. She walked up to me and smacked me across my head, “You know what those kinds of movies do to your cousin! I don’t need her wetting the couch! We just got the damn thing and she scares so easily! The next time you make her watch one of those movies and she wets the couch, you will be paying for the cleaning if not a new one! Carey, stand up for yourself! If it isn’t something you want to watch, say something!”
I laughed wildly as Carey got a bit of my mother’s playful wrath. Carey sat there with a mock pout on her face as her cheeks were deep read from embarrassment. I lifted a middle finger to Carey who only returned one of her own to me. My mother laughed and walked to her bedroom.
“Do you guys want some cold noodles for dinner?” she asked before disappearing into the hallway.
“Yes!” Carey cried out in glee as she kicked her feet out in absolute joy.
I reached over and grabbed a near naked ass cheek. Carey flinched so violently at my sudden touch that she nearly fell off the couch.
“Watch it, mister.” She whispered.
I smiled. “You watch it… sitting around like the way you are. How am I supposed to keep my hands to myself?”
“What?”
“You heard me.”
“Like how?”
“Your knees all being up near your face… your ass was hanging out.”
“Oh?” she said. She pulled her knees back up to her chin and bared her rear end again for me to look. “You mean like this?”
I rolled my eyes and turned my attention back to my tablet. “You’re crazy.”
“What did you guys do when I was gone?” my mother asked as she walked out of her room.
“We went to Manhattan to go exploring.” Carey said with a wide grin on her face. “Other than that, we just hung around.”
“Good.” My mom said as she stepped into the kitchen and pulled on an apron. She moved about the kitchen and started making the cold noodles that we loved so much. “Matt, do you have any projects coming?”
“One in the city next week for a production shoot. I am also helping with a wedding photo shoot as a second camera that same weekend.” I said matter-of-factly.
She nodded. “Can you two go to your room? I need some quiet while I cook and call some of the other brokers.”
Carey hopped off the couch and walked over to my mother. She gave her a hug and walked off to our room. I was sluggish at first. Carey was flirting with me all morning. I saw it in her eyes that she was up to no good. It was easy when my mother wasn’t home, but now with her back, a new equation was added to the mix. I passed by my mother hoping that she didn’t spot my semi-erect cock. She lifted her chin quickly and motioned for me to talk.
“Yeah?” I asked as I eyed Carey darting off into our room.
“Is everything ok?” my mother asked.
“Yeah.” I said, “Why?”
My mother smiled a warmly. “I don’t know. You know your mother has instincts. It feels different in this house. Did something happen while I was gone? Did you two fight? Was she being a brat? Were you being mean to her? I promised your aunt to keep things peaceful.”
I looked back down the hallway and spotted Carey’s head sticking out of our room. She made kissing faces. She was absolutely adorable, my heart wanted to melt. I turned back to my mother and shook my head. “No fighting, mom. We just hung out and reconnected.”
She nodded slowly. “Reconnected?”
I nodded.
“You two were always close. It is a shame that your aunt and uncle had to move so far away.” She said simply and shooed me away with her hand. “Dinner will be done in an hour. I will let you two know.”
“Thanks mom.” I said and walked away from her. My heartbeat was deafening in my ears. I walked a bit shakily back to my room. The hallway seemed to ripple in my vision as I escaped my mother’s intuition.
“Are you ok?” Carey whispered when I walked into the room.
“I think so.” I said as I shut the door.
“What did your mom say?”
I shrugged, “I don’t know. She asked if we had a fight or something. She said she felt something different between us.”
Carey’s face dropped all playful joy. “Do you think she suspects anything?”
“I don’t think so.”
She stood there with a new somber attitude and played with her fingers nervously. “God, I hope she doesn’t suspect anything. I don’t want us to get into trouble.”
“I don’t either.”
She looked up to me, “I will try to behave.”
I reached out and pulled her close to me. She yielded to my touch and fell into my arms. I held her close and was once again washed away by the sweet floral perfume that she wore. I kissed her softly on the forehead. “We will be fine.” I said softly and reached down and grabbed her perfect little rear end. “We will be fine as long as you stop waving this around in front of my face!”
She pushed off of me and thumped her little fists on my chest. “I can’t help it.”
“Oh?”
She spun around and walked over to her futon. She flopped down onto it in dramatic fashion and sighed, “I can’t help it.”
“Really, you can’t help it?”
“I want to be cute, sexy and attractive for you.”
I sat down on my bed and smiled, “Why?”
“Cuz…”
“Cuz?”
Carey shrugged, “I now you see a lot of pretty girls out there other than me. I don’t want to lose you because of that. I don’t want to lose what I feel because I’m not cute or because I’m not attractive enough.”
“Carey…” I said. I shook my head, “No, that won’t happen.”
“No?”
I shook my head. “You won’t lose me that way.”
“But, I could lose you?”
I nodded.
“How?” she asked as she sat up.
“You will definitely lose me when you wet the couch the next time we watch a scary movie.”
“Ugh!” Carey exclaimed as she lunged from the futon and knocked her little body against mine flattening me out onto the bed. She clamored onto me, reached out like a snake striking at a mouse and clamped onto a nipple of mine. “Take it back.”
I laughed and shook my head. She smiled mischievously and pinched hard on my nipple. The pain was unbearable, but I wasn’t going to give her the satisfaction of knowing that she hurt me. I stayed quiet while Carey cranked her hand.
“Take it back.” She whispered as she leaned closer to me.
I reached out and grabbed her head. I pulled her in close and kissed her firmly on the lips. Her hand stopped pinching. Her body melted against mine. She kissed back and I felt the fury of her kiss. Her hands wrapped around me and held herself tight against my body. I broke the kiss and smiled. She looked at me with wonder and confusion. “I take it back.”
She smiled and ‘thumped’ her head onto my chest. She looked up at me dreamily, “Why am I so drunk in love with you?”
“I don’t know, but we have to be more careful with my mom being back.”
She nodded. “I promise.”

My mother made her famous cold noodles and left them for us. She had a meeting with the other brokers that went with her on her business trip. I followed Carey into the kitchen after my mother had announced that she was leaving outside the closed door to our room. Carey looked back at me as we entered the kitchen. My eyes were locked onto her rear end once again. She caught me and smiled.
“You really do like looking at it, don’t you?” she asked as she grabbed a few bowls from a cupboard.
I nodded, “I guess I do.”
“I hope your mom is ok.”
I sighed in worry, “I hope so too. It isn’t often that she has to go back to the office after a business trip.”
“What do we do until she comes home?” she asked as she scooped some noodles into the bowls. She looked over to me with a mischievous smile. “Maybe we can do some snuggling?”
“Snuggling?”
She nodded.
“Really?”
She put the cover back onto the container that had the cold noodles and placed it back into the refrigerator. She drizzled some seasoned sesame oil and sesame seeds onto the noodles before shrugging. “I don’t know. You know what snuggling can lead to. It was just a suggestion.”
I smiled, “I don’t know if we have the time for that, Carey.”
“Oh?”
I nodded.
“But, you’re so quick.”
I rolled my eyes as I scoffed at her attempt to get me riled up. “Ha, ha, but seriously, we really do need to be careful.”
She nodded with a pout as she handed me my bowl of noodles. “I guess you’re right. I will be a good girl.”
