Chapter 6

“Sorry about last night Sherry. It wasn’t my intention to scare you. I didn’t even recognize you at first. You have changed a lot in the last year.”
My eyes moved over her body and I could still see where she was curved in all of the right places. Her hips were rounded now and her top was a lot fuller than before. Last time I had seen her, she was a gangly girl, but now she was a full woman and I could tell a sexy one. I would have never thought that the soft body that I had thought was Candy that I had pulled against me was anything but Sherry. It didn’t make any sense, the changes and it made less sense that I had never looked at her like this before. She was Charlie’s sister after all, but she was also one hot woman. How could I have been so blind?
“So have you, I guess. Well, it’s all water under the bridge now, but you really scared the hell out of me. I didn’t know what to think when you pulled me to you.”
I could still feel her in my arms and I wanted to do it again. I knew it was wrong, wanting Charlie’s sister, but damn it things had changed and she was just too beautiful to ignore. Charlie walked in and stopped me in my tracks though. He was the reminder that I needed. It wasn’t okay to want her. She was his sister and the way he looked at me told me that he felt the same way. Could he feel something in between us? I liked to think that there was something there, but it could just be me trying to make it true.
“What’s up with you two this morning? Did you kiss and makeup?”
Sherry gave him a dirty look. “Everything is fine as long as you keep your naked friends out of my room Charlie. Nothing ever changes, does it?”
I didn’t like how she said that, but I could see her point. I just didn’t like how against it all she was. Was she not feeling the same thing I was feeling about it all? I felt like I wanted her back in my arms because that was where she belonged. It didn’t matter if it was wrong or right, it just was and I wanted her badly. I don’t know why, I never looked at her like this before, but now I saw Sherry for what she was and I was sure that she was one hot chick that I needed to pay more attention to. It was unfortunate that I was friends with her brother, because it was going to be hard to deny how I felt. I could feel other parts of me being clear about my needs as well.
“Something changed.”
She stole a look at me and I knew that she got my drift. Charlie didn’t and that was a good thing. He would never see that, I don’t think anyways. He knew that I would never do anything like that. It was wrong. I just had to keep reminding myself of that. She was off limits, no matter how hot she was now and no matter how much she had changed.
“Well sis it was good to see you. I can say that it is never boring when you are back in the house, but we got to hit the road. I have some business to attend to, we both do.”
I agreed with him, but I was also dragging my feet. When a meal was announced, I found myself walking into the dining room, making the excuse that I was hungry. I wanted to hear more about Sherry and since she hadn’t been back in a while, this meal was where it was going to happen. What had the little minx been up to?
It didn’t take long to get into it. Rosalyn wanted to know what I was asking myself, but she had no reason to temper her questions and interest like I did.
“So what are you going to do now hon? I can’t believe you are back in town. I didn’t think I was going to see you again until next summer.”
“I almost started the last two years right away, but it just felt like the time to take a break and see where I am. I wanted to see if I can get a little experience before I get into a specialty. Sometimes the job sounds good in theory, but is actually a big mess. I don’t want that to happen, so a few real assignments in the city should give me a good gauge of what I want to do.”
Rosalyn was happy with the answer. It was clear that she had thought about her future and for once I was impressed as well. I had to wonder how much further I would have gone in life if I would have been as determined as Sherry was.
“So what about Dennis? You told me that he might come over next week?”
I didn’t like the mention of a guy coming to see her, but again I knew that I had to keep a straight face and let it all go. It wasn’t supposed to bother me.
“Yeah ma, you will like him. I met him on campus and we just hit it off real quickly.”
“If it gets me grandkids out of this, then I am all for it.”
I groaned inwardly and was happy to see that Charlie was just as disturbed as I was about it all. At least someone seemed to have some sense about it all. She shouldn’t be with anyone. She was too young and now that I saw her again after all of these years, I really wanted to make her mine. Then I wouldn’t have to worry about some guy name Dennis and how long the two of them had been dating. It wasn’t a subject that was continued, the discussion moving along to other things and never roping back to it. It as what I wondered the most, but it was unanswered.
“You don’t think she is a little young for all of that Miss Rosalyn?”
She waved me off with her hand. “No, it is about time. You all need to think about your future or your life is just going to pass you by and you won’t even know what happened. I would have regretted never having children of being young enough to enjoy them.”
There was a truth to her words, but why was I making it all about her daughter? Why was I thinking about Sherry when she talked about such things? Was Rosalyn doing some kind of voodoo on me?
