I Never Saw It Coming-Pt. 1

“Mom, why do I have to babysit her!? Its Saturday and I had plans with my friends!” I screamed.

“No questions about it, young man. Its much easier to get you to do it and besides, Katy likes you better than getting an unknown babysitter here.”

Even though she was right, I was still pissed off. It was a goddamn Saturday and having to cancel plans with friends to babysit my sister sucked. I didn’t even know why she needed me to watch her. She 13 for God’s sake! Oh well, bitching isn’t gonna do me any good now. Mom was off on her next date and wouldn’t be back until around 10 or later.

Mom has started dating more now after my parents got divorced and she usually had a date every weekend. But it’s not all bad, Katy is actually pretty fun to hang out with and, unlike most sisters, she’s really cool and not a brat at all. I’ve done this before and we usually end up having a good time, but every other time I’ve done this, I haven’t had plans made with my friends!


It still amazed me that Katy hasn’t really been out before with her friends other than after school or something and she never even really had a boyfriend. I never understood that because, even me, her brother I mind you, found her very attractive. She had dark, tanned skin, since she was always outside, jet black, curly hair that went down to her mid back, slim figure, only about maybe 5 pounds over weight, and the most gorgeous green eyes I’ve ever seen. (Don’t judge me, if you saw her you’d think the same way.)

It seemed that she never took any interest in the boys at her school. She always seemed more interested in me. Her jealousy was always very obvious if I was dating someone and whenever I’d ask her what kind of guy she liked, she would just reply, “someone like you.” This, obviously wasn’t the way a sister should act to her brother but I never really paid any attention to it. Its like when a child tries to sell something and all of the adults in the room think its “cute” I just thought Katy was being “cute” and I never thought about it again.

Even though I’m out with my friends frequently, I’ve never really been in that many relationships. All of the girls in my school either already had a boyfriend or I was friends with. That’s the kind of guy I am. The “friend” to all the girls. I never complained about this, I actually would say I enjoy hanging out with the girls more than guys. But none of them ever took any sexual attraction to me. Usually when I would ask a girl out she would say, “Wait your not gay??” then I would leave and never talk to them again out of sheer embarrassment, so I just gave up completely.

But it never really got to me. Even though I would be disappointed that a girl said no to me, it was for the best because the girls in my school, not to sound smug, were just very immature and if I started talking about anything I liked, they would just stare at me with a blank look on their face and ask “Who the hell is David Bowie?” That’s something that always got to me when a girl didn’t know what I was talking about in terms of music or movies. Katy was different.

Since we both grew up together, she would always listen to the same music or watch the same movies as I would. I get most of this from my dad who, since I was about 3 raised me to be very cultured. Hell Katy would even play the same video games as I would.

That’s usually what we would end up doing. We’d stay up, watch movies and play games. Most of my friends joked with me about how she was the perfect girl. I knew they weren’t joking. No matter how much they want to deny it, I know that they loved my sister.

But, back to the real story, it was about 5 or so when my mom left and Katy had just sat down on the couch with me. As usual, she snuck up behind me and kissed me on the cheek. She frequently wore lipgloss and today was no exeption as the she left a mark on my cheek.
