Handing Julia back, a tiny foot came free and struck my nose. Mom laughed. I laughed. The nurse later said that it was just a sporadic reflex. That newborn babies didn’t have the wherewithal to strike out at someone. Let alone giggle about it. I’m sure the nurse was very good at her job. She, however, didn’t know my sister Julia. I ran out of the room in disgust as mom began feeding.

“Shit! One sec, Lisa. I’ve got another call.”

“Hi Lisa, sorry, scratch that. That was Julia. She isn’t feeling well. I’ve gotta go get her.”
Tyres screeched as I swung the car around. The engine burning, I raced towards the lone figure. She was standing on the pavement and shivering hard. I reached over to open the door.
“Hey you,” she said, getting in.
She fiddled with my knobs.
“I hope your place is warm.”
She pulled my arm around her. It made it quite difficult to drive.
“It is, sis. I just want to stop at the shop first. Remember. My old man evening plan.”
She moved her hand from the heater to my crotch. She probably felt some of our stains. Her lips curled into a suspicious smile.
“I know it takes older guys like you a while to recover. Good thing we have the whole night then.”

I covered my mouth to stifle my laugh. Arms crossed and shivering intensely, Julia did her high-heeled shuffle towards the store entrance. I tore my eyes from hypnotic ass cheeks and threw a warm arm around her. She leaned into me as we hurried across the forecourt.
“Hey! I’m still freezing cold!” she said, holding my arm hostage.
I glanced around the brightly lit store.
“Yeah, but someone we know might spot us in here.”
“They know you, Jay. Not me,” she said, lowering her voice. “And unless they have x-ray vision, they can’t see your cum in my stomach.”
Christ! I ushered her towards the alcohol aisle. The wine selection was wide and varied.
“It’s kind of exciting, isn’t it?” she said. “Almost feels like I’m losing my virginity all over again.”
“Red or white,” I said, motioning to the bottles.
“How about vodka?” she teased. “Oh, excuse me!” she called to the guy stocking the cooler. “Do you have any recommendations for my boyfriend and I?”
“Oh…uhh…Not really, mam…uh sir,” he said, realising he’d been caught checking out Julia. “Wine isn’t really my thing.”
“Don’t worry about it, kid.”
I grabbed a Chilean merlot and brought the giggling troublemaker with me.
“Here you go,” she managed between sneers. “Colin is paying.”
I looked at the twenty in her hand and felt a sudden surge of anger. An irritating voice inside me asked if I was really any better. He had to live with her 24/7. She broke me during a twenty minute car ride. My big hands covered her snowy shoulders.
“Julia…Colin hasn’t done anything with you…to you, has he?”
She gazed blankly at the note and then at me. A smile returned to her lips.
“No, no. Nothing like that.”
She pulled at me in vain to move. I was too preoccupied studying the little boxes on the shelf.
“We should probably pick some up. At least I’ll make one mature decision tonight.”
