We were on our way to the local pharmacy to get that dreaded pregnancy test kit and the car was about as silent as ... as well I can't think of a good metaphor but you could cut the tension with a knife. So I'm driving Kyla's car because my parents decided to give one to her as a sixteenth birthday present but I--- as her older sister don't get a car. I still can't figure that.
"So, how was school today?" That was the best question I could break the silence with.
Kyla sighed as she watched the cars fly by, "It was fine. This test better be fucking negative." That obviously was the only thing going through her head at the moment. Might as well entertain the thought.
"It better be, or your boyfriend is so dead. Have you told him?" I looked over at her, then I regained my attention on the road. An accident would be the last thing I needed in my life right now.
Kyla laughed, "Hell no, I am not telling him until I know the answer. Which better be negative, which would mean I'd never have to tell him." Kyla's cell phone started to ring. She frantically searched through her messy purse filled with all the stuff us girls need.
"Damn, what do you have in your purse? Just let it go to voicemail it's probably no one important," I smiled as I still watched her search through her purse.
"Ah-ha!" She said as she held up her phone like she had just won a prize. She looked at the person calling and I heard a slight scoff before she answered the phone, "Hey Aiden," That couldn't sound any less enthusiastic.
I smirked, "Told you it was no one important."
Kyla smiled and made a shushing face as she playfully punched my shoulder. "Aiden, I'm with my sister right now, can I call you back later?"
"Your hot sister," I coughed out.
"Shut it." Kyla whispered as she was trying to pay attention to stupid Aiden.
"All right, love ya bye." Kyla hung up the phone and threw it right back in her purse. So when the next person called she could start the searching process all over again.
"Ugh, I'm getting so sick of him. He didn't even do anything. He's just annoying, let's get this test, pray for a negative sign because I can't bare the thought of an Aiden Jr running around." Kyla crossed her arms and slumped back into the passenger seat.
I smiled at the last part she said. She's so right, if we had an Aiden Jr running around the world would probably end. "You've got that right sis." I threw the car in park and took off my seatbelt, "We're here."
"Way to state the obvious. Let's get this over." Kyla said as she jumped out of the car and ran into the store. She didn't bother waiting for me to get out of the car, how nice of her. I hurried in after her and found her in the dreadful isle, with plenty of pregnancy test choices.
"Thanks for waiting for me. So what's the problem, pick one and we will have you pee on the stick." I smiled, trying to get Kyla to find humor in this...when it really isn't funny at all.
"Oh my God. I know that girl at the cash register, she's on my cheerleading squad. I can't buy this, I can't be seen in this isle. Spencer, Spencer, please here. Go up there I'll wait in the car. Please?" Kyla gave me the most pleading eyes and I knew I'd have to bare buying this alone. This better not spread rumors about me, wait I don't even go to their school, so it shouldn't.
"Fine, go wait in the car. Here take the keys. God the things I do for you." I rolled my eyes, whipped the pregnancy test off the shelf and threw it on the counter. I felt this girl looking at me, giving me the eyes, like she wanted to say something but of course she didn't.
Wait, I spoke too soon, I saw her lips forming words but of course I was not paying attention. "Sorry, what did you say?" I smiled trying to act like I cared what she really said.
"You look familiar, do I know you?" She said as she rang up the item. She held the pregnancy test in her hand a little too long and I really just wanted her to throw it in a brown paper bag so I could get the hell out.
"I doubt it, how much do I owe you?" Yeah that sounded rude, but I had to be rude. I couldn't let her make the connection that I was related to Kyla. We don't look that much alike...so hopefully she wouldn't.
"Oh, I remember. I dated your brother for awhile. Glen? I'm on your sister's cheerleading squad. You probably don't remember me, you were rarely home when I was over all summer long. But we talked a few times...Spencer? Right?" The girl smiled like she just had answered the final question on jeopardy.
"Yup, I'm Spencer. Thanks, but I really have to go..." I handed her the money and grabbed my change, she really could have kept it. It would have saved me from listening to her talk about how much she misses my brother and how I need to convince him to go back out with her. I saw her look at the pregnancy test before she threw it in the bag. She really couldn't shut up, "I hope it's negative. I had a scare like two months ago." She smiled.
"Yeah I hope it's negative too. Thanks, see you around." I grabbed the bag off the counter and whipped open the door to the store. Kyla was sitting in the driver's seat so I plopped in my usual spot. "Oh my God, does that girl ever shut up?"
Kyla smiled, "Nope, she probably already---never mind." Kyla threw the car in drive and hopped back on the road.
I was waiting for her to finish her sentence and I was going to make her, "Never mind what? Ky! Never mind what?"
She gave me an uneasy look and gulped down the excess saliva in her mouth, "She's probably already telling people that Kyla's older sister is pregnant." Kyla looked at me with those, don't-be-mad-at-me looks.
I closed my eyes and slowly tried not to freak out. That can't be that bad huh? Oh yes it could, "What?! I can't believe---turn around. I'm going to kick her ass." I looked back to see if I could just jump out of the car and beat her. I knew Kyla wouldn't stop the car so I had to weigh out my options.
"No, no. She probably is going to keep her mouth shut, since she▓s my friend and everything." Kyla smiled, she was such a bad liar. But whatever I have to give her props for trying.
"Fine, whatever. I guess being pregnant is a better rumor than being our brother's girlfriend stealer."
"It's not a rumor if it's true..." Kyla smirked as she was switching lanes.
My time to hit Kyla, but it wasn't going to be a wimpy punch, "Ow!! That hurt." Kyla shouted and started to rub her bicep where I punched her.
"You deserved it." Even though the rumor about me stealing Glen's girlfriends away wasn't a rumor. But it only happened twice and they were like really hot. Too hot for Glen that is.
"Fine whatever. Girlfriend stealer." Kyla chuckled. Oh, how I love the sibling teasing.
"Yeah yeah, keep talking prego." I smiled, knowing I probably had hit the spot and ended this. I always get the last word.
Kyla was silent and she continued driving, "Knew that'd shut you up." I laughed and squeezed her cheek, insuring that she wouldn't and couldn't stay mad at me.
"You won, happy? Thank God we are home. Let's go to the bathroom now." Kyla shoved the pregnancy test in her purse and ran into the house. I quickly followed since she never waits for me.
Thank God our parents aren't home, they rarely ever are. So I ran into the bathroom with Kyla and sat on top of the counter. "What's taking you so long, pee!" I have been waiting for her to pee for a good five minutes.
"I can't pee on the spot. You're making me nervous!" Kyla shouted from the toilet.
I sighed, "You want me to run some water? Will that help?"
Kyla laughed, "Shut up, just wait outside the door?"
I rolled my eyes, "Kyla you are everything but shy, but I'll do as you ask." I jumped off the counter and closed the door. I sat outside of the door and heard Kyla pee as soon as I sat down.
"Finally! I'm done!" I heard her yell. She was so cute, she was extremely excited she finally got that over with. Now came the hard part, waiting for the answer. I hoped it was negative. Thinking about it being negative, Kyla and I haven't talked about what happens if it is positive. Maybe we shouldn't think about that, because it's not going to be positive. It's not, it won't.
I waited outside the door and Kyla soon followed with the stick she peed on. I saw her facial expression, I knew what the answer was. I couldn't believe it. "You're so fucking lucky, Ky." I wrapped my arms around her and gave her a nice huge embracing hug. Thank God she is not pregnant, I probably would have died. Kyla looked so relieved and happy. She started to dance around the room. I decided to join her.
"Oh my God, I'm going to go party now. Wanna go? That's what Aiden was calling about earlier. He told me to ask you if you wanted to come. So? I bet you need a drink after all this too."
I smiled, it was true. I did need a drink after all this worrying I've been doing. "Yeah, you're right. I'll join ya."
Kyla smiled and screeched with excitement, "Yes! You haven't gone out with me and Aiden in a while!" Kyla ran out of the room, "I'm going to go get changed!"
I plopped on my bed and shook my head. She was one crazy little sister. I flung open my closet door and sat on my bed and looked at my clothes. I wish Ashley was at this party, but a girl can hope. So might as well dress to impress someone else. I'm starting to get sexually frustrated since the last time I've had sex...well let's just say it's been a while. So why not have some casual sex with some random hot stranger? Might as well get some practice in before Ashley, because I bet she is nothing but amazing in bed. Her toned muscles could hold me down in bed any day. I'd love to take my hand and run it down her-- "Spencer?! Why aren't you getting ready!"
Kyla always manages to stop my day dreams just when they are starting to get good. Kyla stood in my doorway in her bra and tight jeans, "Kyla who are you trying to impress? Aren't you forgetting something...like a shirt?" I chuckled. Sometimes she was so forgetful.
"Uh no, I was just checking on you because it takes you a good hour to get ready. So Aiden says he has this hot lesbian at the party to hook you up with. So look your best."
I rolled my eyes, I so don't trust Aiden's taste. He is dating my sister after all. Kidding. "Ugh, when don't I look my best? Now, get I'm going to get dressed."
Kyla skipped off to her room and I looked through my closet. Well, I don't want to be hooked up with some blind date they always go┘not good. But it doesn't hurt to look really hot. I threw on my tightest pair of jeans and my favorite tee shirt that made me look like I had boobs. Perfect. I fanned out the wrinkles in my shirt and threw my cell phone in my back pocket and headed to Kyla's room. I jumped on the bed and sprawled across it. "So...are YOU ready yet? Is Aiden picking us up?"
Kyla smiled as she was putting on a necklace, "A little help?" She pulled up her hair and squatted down so I could clasp her necklace. "Yup, Aiden should be here any minute if I know him." Kyla twirled around in front of her mirror and watched her flow-y top twirl with her.
"Awesome. So┘for almost being preg you look pretty cute." I smiled, now that she's not pregnant I can make fun of her and joke about it all I want. It's apart of the sibling code.
"Shut it, yes I'm going to drink away all the worries I had over the past weeks." Kyla smiled and reached for her purse. "Got everything? Because I can hear Aiden honking."
I looked around and checked my back pocket for my cell, "Yup, got everything I need. Let's go have some fun," I said as I intertwined my arm into hers and we ran down the steps.
I hopped into Aiden's Nissan Xterra, "Hey Spencer, how've you been?" Aiden was always so nice to me. I don't know why I hated him, I just did most days.
"I'm good, thanks for asking. What's new with you?" Might as well make conversation, I don't know how long this ride to the party was going to be. I usually had a two drink minimum before I started to listen to Dennison speak, but I'll make an exception today.
"Well, I-- my coach just asked me to be the captain of our football team...I think that's about it. So Glen and his new girlfriend are meeting us there, babe." Aiden stopped talking to me, and talked to Kyla. At first I thought he was calling me babe, but I caught on. Wait, did he just say Glen and his new girlfriend? I have to ask to be certain.
"Sorry but, did you say Glen is coming?" I popped my head in between Kyla and Aiden in the front seat.
"Yup, he called me and I invited him. He said he's bringing some new girlfriend he has. I think her name was, Ashley. Ashley something. I've seen her at school before. She's pretty chill." Aiden said as he continued driving while holding Kyla's hand.
Well, boy am I glad I decided to look my hottest. I slowly moved back to my seat and grinned out the window. I was oddly excited to be seeing Ashley at the party. Maybe she will show me her tattoo...or what she has underneath her clothes. Because she has the perfect body. Gosh, I'm getting this warm happy feeling all over my body just thinking about this girl. And I've only met her once, what is wrong with me? But all I want to do is get to know her, know everything about her. I've never felt this way before.
"We're here." Aiden said as he threw his car in park, "Oh Spencer, did Kyla tell you I found this girl for you? I think you'll really like her, she's really hot."
Kyla slapped Aiden on his head and then he fixed his hair, "You can't say any other girl is hot, but me!" Kyla was trying her best to act upset.
He shrugged his shoulders, "What? She's gay. I can say she's hot because she's gay, right?" Aiden looked at me after Kyla continued to pout, "Right Spencer?"
I rolled my eyes, "Whoa I'm not getting in the middle of this. You two work this out, I'm going to head in and grab a beer." I hopped out of the back seat and slammed the door. I adjusted my jeans and pulled them up and headed into the house. I didn't see Glen's car anywhere so I figured Ashley wasn't there yet. I walked into the house like I owned the place and grabbed myself a nice cold beer. It was time to start drinking if I had to meet some date and put up with Aiden and Kyla all night. They already starting fighting for the evening, this should be quite interesting.
I walked up the keg and grabbed a red cup and poured myself a drink. As I was sipping on my beer I felt someone tapping on my shoulder. I expected it to be Aiden showing me this amazingly hot girl he picked out for me but to my surprise it was another hot girl I'd want to not only be tapping my shoulder. "Hey, what are you doing here?" She asked me with her gorgeous brown eyes.
I smiled, "Aiden and Kyla invited me. Not happy to see me?" There we go, turn on the flirt button already. Good job, Spencer.
She smiled with her perfect teeth, "Why wouldn't I be? I'm happy I get to see a familiar face around this party. Didn't think anyone would show up. So you drink beer?" She acting surprise and little impressed. If all I had to do was drink beer to impress this girl, I think I'll have no problem impressing her. But I had a feeling it took way much more than that.
"Hell yes. I mean it's an acquired taste, you get used to it after a while." I smiled as I proudly took another sip of my beer.
Ashley smiled, "Wow Carlin, I can't help but say I'm impressed. I haven't met another girl who loves to drink beer like me. I think I like you already." Ashley smiled and pushed passed me to tap the keg.
"Cheers." Ashley held up her red Solo cup waiting for me to cheers her back.
"Cheers." Cheers Ashley. The perfect girl for me. You're going to be my girl soon Ashley Davies, you just don't know it yet.
