"Lor." I heard someone whisper. I rolled over squinting my eyes. I couldn't tell who it was until they climbed onto my bed with me.
"Aaron?" I mumbled.
"Are you trying to make your reputation go from sweet shy girl to campus slut?" He asked sounding angry.
"Excuse me?" I asked sitting up. "Who refers to me as a sweet shy girl and why would ANYONE call me the campus slut?"
"Jordan told me." He said.
"I don't care." I said. "It doesn't make me the campus slut."
He layed back and sighed. "I've never been so jelous in my life." He said.
"What?"
"Jordan never gets the girl." He said.
"Okay. . ."
"He shouldn't have touched you anyway." He said.
"Isn't it up to me who I let touch me?" I asked.
"Do you like hate me or something?" He asked.
"No. What reason have you given me to hate you?" I asked.
He sighed. "Why not me?"
"Why not you what?"
"Why didn't you choose me to be with you?" He asked.
"Aaron, you're my brother." I said.
"I wish everyone would stop fucking saying that! You're not my sister! We're not even related!" He said, a little too loudly. It made me jump.
"I can't beleive he saw you naked." He said. "Fuck, I can't beleive you saw HIM naked."
"I didn't look." I said.
"What do you mean?"
"I didn't look. I didn't look at his privates." I said.
He gave me a look of confusion.
"What? I didn't want to." I said.
"Why not?" He asked.
"Cause he's not special." I said.
"You confuse me in so many ways." He said. He laughed and turned on my lamp. "And nobody calls a penis, privates."
I blushed and he laughed. "Well, besides little girls."
"I am a little girl." I said.
He smiled. "You're 17."
"Which doesn't make me an adult yet." I said.
He smiled and nodded. "Okay."
"What?" I asked after a few seconds when I noticed him staring at me.
"Come here." He said softly.
"Why?" I giggled.
"Kiss me." He said. He had the most serious look on his face. The same look my Dad would give me when I was in deep shit. I knew that look very well and it scared me.
"I can't." I said.
"Why?"
"And the look on your face is terrifying me." I said.
He leaned forward slowly and I backed away. "Go to bed, Aaron." I said.
He looked up at me. I had trouble resisting him, but I felt strongly about not getting close to him.
He signed and quietly got up. He walked out of the room slowly and shut the door. I felt horrible. I climbed out of bed and went to Carla's room. She woke up as soon as her door squeeked as I opened it.
"Hey." I said softly.
"Hi." She said looking at the clock. "It's 2am."
"I know." I said. "Aaron's our brother right?"
She shrugged. "If you want to look at it that way." She said.
I sat down on her bed. "What do you mean?"
"Well, obviously, he's not really our brother." She said.
"I know that." I said. "He has a crush on me. Is that gross?"
"No." She laughed.
"It's not weird to you at all?" I asked.
"No." She said. "But, I do think if you did anything with him, you're asking for trouble. I mean, he DOES live with you."
I nodded. "Yeah. He's off limits. He's still so off limits."
"Probably a good idea. It wouldn't be gross though." She said.
"Goodnight." I said.
"Night." She said.
I went back to bed, but I couldn't fall asleep.
