The Sex Contract


My sister and I were born eleven months apart to the day. When I was just one month from turning fourteen my sister was turning thirteen years old. In our family turning thirteen was a big deal. It ranked right up there with first periods, being able to vote, and being able to drink…legally.

We had celebrated Catalina’s first period when she was about ten and a half. That was when Mom put her on birth control pills, the same kind that Mom takes herself. Then we celebrated me turning into a teenager.

Then Catalina turned thirteen. Dad asked her where she wanted to eat dinner. Mom asked her what she wanted but she was too shy to say it out loud but she did whisper it into Mom’s ear.

Mom just smiled and said, “I think I can arrange that. Later!”

We went to Catalina’s favorite place for Lobster while Dad had his usual steak. After dinner Mom suggested that Dad go and visit his friend on the other side of town. He knew that something was up so he told her that he would call before coming home. Mom gave him a really nice kiss.

Mom sent Catalina in to her bathroom to take a nice long bubble bath. Then she sent me into the other bathroom to take a quick shower like I normally did. Then she told me to play on my computer until she called for me.

About an hour later Mom called for me and I started for her bedroom when she said, “I’m in here with your sister.”

So I stood in Catalina’s doorway and waited to be asked in.

Catalina said, “You may enter.”

You see in our house there are rules to be obeyed. One of those rules is to knock if the door is closed and if it is open you need to be invited in. I think it has something to do with vampires but I’m not really sure.

Something else you might wish to know is that both of our parents are lawyers and that our mother is also a judge.
