X wrapped up the brand new Littmann stethoscope she had bought for her brother’s birthday. “He’s going to be twenty-one Chewtoy!” she said excitedly. “My baby brother’s growing up.” Chewtoy smacked his lips contently in reply and gazed lovingly into X’s eyes. “Aw I love you too Chewtoy!” she gushed and squashed the capuchin in a hug. She relaxed her hold when he squawked in protest. I’ll miss you when you’re gone Chewtoy, she thought. At fourteen, her capuchin was getting old.

She felt her phone vibrating in her pocket and fished it out. “Hi Dad!” “Yeah, I’m starting out now. When’s Addy reaching?” She checked her appearance in her mirror one last time before heading for the door. She ran her fingers messily through her cropped hair, her undercut peeking out. She was wearing a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows and the top half sexily unbuttoned, putting her black bra on display. It was tucked into a pair of black skinny jeans, showing off her legs.

X pulled up at the place they were supposed to meet up. She leaned against her car, checking her phone. Hearing a squeal of delight, she looked up. Addy bounded up to X, a huge grin plastered on his face. Enveloping him in a bear hug, she smiled. “I missed you too kiddo. Happy birthday!” “You’re always so busy now. You barely visit home anymore,” he pouted. “That’ll be you when you leave home too,” their dad walked up to them. “You’ll forget all about your dad,” he joked.

X raised her eyebrow at the club Addy had picked. “So we’re letting him drink?” she asked dad. “Looks like it,” he replied. “He hasn’t shut up about it all week.”

“Like you waited till you were twenty-one,” Addy scoffed. “Never mind what I did, you’re my baby brother,” she teased. They had settled into a cosy corner when a waitress bustled up to them. Her pixie cut hair was streaked with blue and a silver septal ring gleamed in her nose. Cute, X thought. She handed out menus to them, her eyes lingering on X for a second too long. X caught her eye and smiled. She blushed and hurried away flustered.

“Do you have to flirt with anything that walks on two legs?” Addy rolled his eyes at his sister. “No, I flirt with half of everything that walks on two legs,” she smirked. “Speaking of which, do you have a girlfriend yet?”

“No. Not that I’ll tell you if I do,” he huffed. “You don’t still hold that against me, do you? That was back in high school and I didn’t know you two were dating. Which is why you ought to tell me!” X laughed. “Not that she seemed to mind,” she added, eyes twinkling. “Spare me the details,” he grumbled.

The waitress returned to take their order. “A pina colada for him and a Long Island iced tea. Dad?” X asked. “Nope. I’ve got work tomorrow,” he smiled and ordered the food. The waitress left after flashing a quick smile at X.

“Tell me about college. How’s the budding doctor?” X handed her gift to Addy. “What did you get me?” he asked eagerly. “A stethoscope? Not sure if you’ll like it,” X said uncertainly. Addy ripped open the packaging and said delightedly, “Aw thanks! It’s one of the best you can get!” X sighed in relief, “I’m glad you like it.”

“College is fine. Not as exciting as what you do. Or even what dad does for that matter.” Their father was a sous chef at a Michelin star restaurant. “I don’t save lives kid,” dad chuckled. “I don’t save lives either,” Addy replied. “Not yet at least.”

The waitress returned with their drinks. She set X’s drink down and shot her a sweet smile. X responded with a wink making her turn red. She quickly darted away from the table, shyly glancing back at X when she was a safe distance away. X followed her with her eyes. She wouldn’t mind a hook-up, she thought. Addy watched the whole exchange in awe, “Just how do you do it? It takes me so long to muster up the courage to ask a girl out! And here you are doing… whatever it was you just did.” “Girls love a butch,” she answered simply.

Addy sniffed at his pina colada suspiciously, “I don’t smell the booze.” Cautiously, he took a little sip. His eyes widened in delight. “It’s so good!” “I know,” X replied amused. “Just take it easy.” Addy began slurping down his drink while X leisurely sipped at her Long Island. “Slow down Addy!” “But it’s so good!” he giggled. “Don’t tell me you’re drunk already!” X laughed.

“Mmm,” Addy slurped down the last of his drink and closed his eyes in bliss. “Another one! Please!” he said, making adorable puppy eyes at X. “Um… dad?” X began. “Let him at it. It’s his day,” dad replied indulgently. The waitress came over, giving X a sultry look. Someone’s getting feisty, X thought and returned a smouldering look. “Another pina colada, please.” The waitress nodded, her cheeks colouring.

“Someone’s getting laid tonight,” Addy chirped a little too loudly. “Addy,” X began embarrassed. “Dad?” Dad just chuckled in reply. “You deal with him, kid. It’s almost eleven and I’ve got a busy day tomorrow,” he said getting up. “You’re leaving?” X panicked. “Yeah. He doesn’t get much time with you so you two catch up.” Dad kissed X on the cheek and left.

X held the second drink out of Addy’s reach and enunciated slowly, “Addy, you gotta drink this slowly, Ok?” Addy eyed the drink and nodded eagerly. X gently set it in front of him. “Ok, slowly now.” Addy pounced on it, sucking the delicious drink through the glass straw. X sighed resignedly. “Oh well, you only live once,” she said chugging down the rest of her drink.

Addy finished his drink and put his head on the table. Gazing up at X he said, “I love you. Have I told you that? You’re the bestest big sister in the whole world.” “Aw Addy,” X ruffled his hair affectionately. “I know that’s the booze talking but you’re adorable. I love you too.” “No it’s not the booze. I really do love you,” he said louder this time, drawing some attention. X shushed him. “No but really,” he continued undeterred. “Do you remember when you fought off my bullies?” he asked getting all misty-eyed. “I fought off bullies?” asked X incredulously.

“Yep. When we were kids. Those two boys took my toy truck and you threatened to bash their brains in,” he said admiringly. “Addy that was when I was eight!” she laughed. “And they were ten. You were very brave. I love you,” he gushed. “I love you too Addy,” she smiled fondly. The alcohol was starting to get to her too.

“Would you like anything else?” asked the waitress as she came up to their table. “Another pina colada!” piped up Addy. “A sex on the beach,” X slurred. The waitress winked at X, “Of course. I’ll be right back.” X watched her sashay away from the table, taking her in from top to bottom. Someone was getting laid tonight.

“Sex on the beach, huh? Naughty,” Addy chirped. “Have you had sex on the beach?” he narrowed his eyes at X. “Addy keep it down. You’re being too loud,” X hushed him as his face crumpled. “I didn’t mean to upset you!” X said hurriedly. “Just keep it down. And no, I haven’t had sex on the beach.”

“What’s the most exciting place you’ve done it, then?” Addy asked in a stage whisper. “Am I being quiet enough?” “Yes Addy,” X said affectionately. “I’d say a cave.” “A cave?! How?” X sighed, as The Enchantress came to her mind. “It was on one of my jobs,” she smirked. “Fucking on duty, huh? Who else other than my big sister,” Addy said admiringly. “Now you don’t go following in my footsteps ok? You be good,” X said, a wave of affection washing over her.

The waitress popped back with their drinks. She leaned in when she gave X her sex on the beach and said, “I go off duty at 12”. With a sly wink, she cleared the table and left. “Can I taste?” asked Addy, eying X’s drink. “Just a sip,” X warned, her eyes glued to the waitress.

Addy glanced at his watch and then squinted at it, looking puzzled. He shook his wrist and shoved it under X’s nose. “Why’s my watch all weird? I can’t read the time. What time is it?” he slurred. “Time to go home,” X decided and helped him out of his chair. She hailed a cab for him outside and made sure the driver got the right address. “What about you? You’re too drunk to drive too,” Addy said concerned.

“I’ve got to…” X began, her face flushing. “Do the waitress!” Addy finished with a grin. “I’ll leave you to it.” X made her way back into the club. It was almost twelve. The waitress caught her eye and jerked her head in the direction of the wait staff’s room. X walked in and clumsily crashed into a table. A pitcher of water balanced precariously on the edge tottered and fell to the floor, drenching her. She moved to catch it but instead slipped and landed sprawled out on the floor, her back slumped against the wall. The waitress chose to walk in that very second and followed X’s suit in slipping. She tried to regain her balance but her high-heel clad ankles gave out and she landed on top of X, straddling her.

“That’s one way to get to it,” X smirked, running her hands up the waitress’s legs which were draped on either side of her. The waitress moved her hands to X’s shirt, smirking at her nipples poking through it. “Let’s get you out of this. Don’t want you catching a cold.” “Of course,” X’s eyes glinted mischievously. The waitress leaned forward, trailing kisses from X’s jawline down to her neck. X moaned and roughly tugged the waitress’s hair, bringing her lips crashing down to hers. The waitress nibbled on her bottom lip, her hands working X out of her bra.

“Someone’s happy,” she teased as her nipples came into view. “Or cold,” X said. “Oh that’s explains it,” the waitress replied in mock seriousness. X undid the waitress’s shirt while she grinded against her, her short skirt riding up. The waitress circled X’s nipples with her tongue as her breathing quickened. X moaned in pleasure, arching her back. She took off the waitress’s bra and pawed at her breasts.

X let her hands rest on her naked thighs, teasing their way higher while her tongue continued to toy with her nipples. “Mmm get on with it,” said the waitress, grinding on X. X bit her nipple as she stuck her fingers inside her panties. The waitress unbuttoned X’s pants and let her fingers do the exploring.

“Let’s… go back to my place?” panted X as the fog of pleasure cleared. The waitress pressed her lips to X’s and whispered pityingly, “I’ve got a boyfriend.”
