SEDUCING BELLA'S YOUNGER BROTHER
The Wednesday before Mother's Day, I arrive home with 6 or 7 days worth of clothes. My mom gives me a huge hug and tells me, "Well, no matter what goes wrong this weekend, at least I get to spend some time with my baby girl." The comment strikes me as odd, but I decide to let it go until later.
I hang up my clothes one by one in my bedroom closet. As I hang up a pair of jeans, I think of the topless jeans belt fight between the two hot rod chicks that my mom recollected to me--will Bella and I be fighting topless in jeans on Sunday like those two girls did? Fuck, that would be hot.
I put away some tank tops, some t-shirts, some bras, and a sports bra. The sports bra makes me think of the neighborhood flag football game back in high school when Bella reached under my tshirt, tore my sports bra, and gouged and bruised my underboob. Should I wear those clothes on Sunday and see if she remembers that football game and what she did to me? I can confront her about whether what she did was an accident or intentional. Or I can wear our high school Class of 2012 sweatshirt, and see if SHE wants to confront ME about the kissing rumor I started about her and me.
My panties get soaked thinking about the possibilities. I wonder what Bella will wear Sunday.
Mom has lunch waiting for me in the kitchen. We sit and eat in silence, until I break it.
> So, Mom, what did you mean back there about something going wrong this weekend.
> Nicole, darlin', Bella and you have had unresolved issues for years now. I know women, and if one of 'em kicks a sleepin' dog, it's cuz she's got her reasons to settle th'other one.
> Well, assumin' she's lookin' for trouble, and I don't assume that, but assumin' she is, why are you so sure I can't handle my business?
> The question answers itself darlin'. Yu'z gots to make assumptions about Bella's intentions, Sunday. But Bella ain't gotta do that. She already knows her intentions. By the time you figger 'em out Sunday, she'll have 2 or 3 free punches to start the fight. And that can be enough to win a fight. And I can't stand think' 'bout how mortified I'll be, that skank Mom of her bein' able to rub Bella beatin' you in a fight in my face.
I sit and chew on my food. And on Mom's words.
> So what do you suggest I do?
> Get an edge on her. Get inside her head. She's gonna throw the first punch--that's her privilege for havin' the moxey to call you out. But you can throw her a curveball.
> Such as?
> On weekdays, Bella's mom ain't home all day. She works. Only 'un home is Bella's younger brother. He's 19. Goes to junior college or somethin', but must do a lot of it online 'cuz he's always home. Use those 38c's of yours to trick him inta lettin' ya inta Bella's bedroom. Then trash somethin' of hers. Somethin' real .... personal.
I get wet at the thought of getting into Bella's bedroom. I've wanted to be there for years--to kiss, to play-wrestle, to spoon with her in bed, to brawl. A, B, C, D, or All of the Above. A multiple choice problem with no wrong answers.
I go out for a walk. I walk up to Bella's door. I think of all the school day afternoons growing up where Bella was home alone and I was home alone. Woulda solved both of us a lot of tension and conflict later if I had just walked on over and rung the bell then like I am now.
I ring the bell. A 19 year old with movie star looks answers.
> Andrew?!?@?
> Yes, do I know you.
> Andrew, holy fuck, look at you, all grown up. It's Nicole, from down the street. Remember me?
> Oh, ya, I can place the face now.
> Andrew, can, I, umm, come in?
> I'm .... ummm. sorta not supposed to let strangers in.
> Andrew ...... <<I run my fingers on his right cheek>> ... I'm not a stranger. It's me. Nicole. Just for a minute, I promise.
<<<<I flash my cleavage. Andrew knows what I'm doing but can't help himself, and looks.>>
Andrew reluctantly lets me in the house. He's listening to the devil on his shoulder, not the angel.
> So, Andrew, which room is Bella's?
> What do I get if I show you?
> You already know what you get, sailor. But only if we do it in her room, in her bed.
Andrew weighs the costs and the benefits.
> Do we have an ...... arrangement? Sailor?
****************************
Thirty minutes later, I'm bavk at my mom's house. She smells my face.
> Well, I'd recognize that scent anywhere. You were just gettin' sweaty with Bella's younger brother and done gave 'im a blow job, amirite?
> <<<I grin devilishly.>>> Not necessarily all the particulars or in that order, but yes you've got the right idea.
> Ok, so he got what he wanted. But, Nic..... lemme ask ya ..... did you git what you wanted?
> Well, Mom. I think I dun myself proud. He and I did it ..... on Bella's bed.
> And you can prove this? To her, I mean? Cuz her brother 'll deny it. You know that, right?
I pull out an Employee of the Month, medallion, with Bella's name, June 2013, Gallatin County Waterpark chiselled into it.
> Where'd you find that?
> It was at her makeup table, in thr top drawer, under a bunch of other real personal stuff. She tries 'n start shit Sundsy, I'll show it to her. She'll know I've been rummagin' thru her most personal belongings. That alone will be worth it. But thd frosting will be how I got her brother to let me in.
Now it's my mom's turn to think pensively.
> Nicole, I do declare, that there was definitely worth a blow job. How was he, by the way.
> OMG Mom you didn't tell me what a hunk he grew up to be.
> 'Thought you might 'preciate that.
This trip is already worth it.
Hopefully it keeps going this well.
For me. Not for Bella.
