Despite the fact I haven’t gotten any in a year and a half, I used to be quite the little slut. I’ve even been called on it recently.
I hesitate to even write about this, because knowing my luck, it will come back and bite me in the ass. This story is just too good to not tell though.
My mom called me from Panama yesterday. My brother and a friend went down on Friday morning, to stay with them for the long weekend. She told me the boys were at the bar watching the game, and referred to the friend by name. I asked her to describe what “Michael” looks like, while trying to keep the terror out of my voice.
Five years ago, my brother graduated from undergrad, so my family flew to San Diego for the festivities. I tacked a day onto either end of my trip, so I told my brother I’d have to stay with him those nights. My first night there, he and his frat brothers decided to throw a party, of course.
Once the frat bros figured out who I was, they hit on me, to piss my brother off. “GET OFF MY SISTER!” became the catchphrase of the night.
Michael wasn’t in the frat, but was friends with some of the guys who lived in the house. He had to work late, so by the time he showed up, everyone was drunk. He introduced himself to me, and we hit it off, mainly because he wasn’t hitting on me, like all the other douchebags at the party. We escaped outside to avoid the drunks and get to know each other (that is not a euphemism).
At this point, some underage frat douchenozzles showed up. We didn’t realize until later, but they were coked out and drunk on absinthe (which was still illegal at the time).
They immediately got pissed off that someone who was not in the frat, was “getting on a frat brother’s sister”. So they picked a fight with Michael, who was both outnumbered by them, as well as being smaller than they were. I ran inside to get my brother and his roommates, who stopped the fight.
Twenty minutes later, they tried to fight him again. At this point, I’d had it. I screamed, “GET THE FUCK OUT OR I’M CALLING THE FUCKING COPS, ASSHOLES!!!”
One of them replied, “SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU UGLY BITCH!”
Oh hayyyyll no. You do not call me an ugly bitch IN MY BROTHER’S HOUSE.
So I hauled off and punched him in the face, as hard as I could. I’d never hit anyone before, or ever been in a fight.
This just incensed him, so he tried to fight ME then. “YOU FUCKING UGLY BITCH! I’LL KILL YOU!”
My brother and his roommates held him back, while I continued screaming in his face. “C’MON AND TRY IT, MOTHERFUCKER!! THE COPS DON’T LIKE DICKS WHO HIT WOMEN!! PLUS, WE’RE ALL OLD ENOUGH TO DRINK, AND YOU’RE NOT!! HAVE FUN IN JAIL, DOUCHEBAG!!!”
So he started punching the guys holding him, which resulted in my brother’s ribs being broken. They finally got him out of the house, and he didn’t come back.
I looked around the room at the people not involved in the fight. They were all California girls, blond and anorexic. They looked at me with fear in their eyes. They were scared of the big-titted brunette who had the balls to punch a dude in the face.
While the girls were scared of me, I was a legend amongst the guys. Whenever I’d go out with my brother all week, random people I’d never met would see my brother, then look at me, put two and two together, and immediately congratulate me on taking that fucker out. Apparently everyone hated him anyway.
The night of my brother’s grad party, my family had already left for home, so my brother took me “as his date”. The school rented out an entire bar for the shindig. So everyone got stinking drunk, while I sat nursing my drink in the corner, since I didn’t know anyone there.
Then Michael came to sit with me. I hadn’t seen him since the night of the party. “I just wanted to say thanks for punching that guy. I don’t think I’ve ever had a girl get in a fight for me before.”
“Well that guy was a douchebag. Like he should have a say on who I’m gonna get on?”
We chatted a bit about other things, laughing at my intoxicated brother hitting on his own ex-girlfriend at the bar 4 feet in front of us.
Then Michael kissed me.
We immediately stopped, sat facing forward, looking at my brother to see if he’d seen us. He hadn’t, since he was too concerned with his own sex life, to be bothered about his sister’s.
“Oh, he’d kill me if he knew I just kissed you.”
“He’s MY brother! He’d bitch me out, but he wouldn’t try to fight you. He knows I’d punch him in his broken ribs if he tried.”
“He’d stop talking to me.”
“No, he wouldn’t, because I’d tell him I’m his older sister and I’m allowed to kiss whomever I want. Plus, you’re not a jerk, so he couldn’t complain . . .and it’s fun to sneak around!”
My brother eventually came over to the table to tell me he’d called a cab for us. While my brother went to the bathroom, Michael and I hid in the coat check room to makeout.
Michael joined my brother, my brother’s ex, and I in the cab. My drunken brother asked Michael why he was in the cab with us, and he made up some excuse. The ex had to have known what was going on, but she kept her mouth shut because she was trying to fuck my brother.
Once we got back to the house, we hung out for awhile, until I went out the back door “to smoke”. Michael went out the front door a few minutes later. We walked up the beach, holding hands, talking and making out, scared for our lives that my brother would come looking for us. But that’s what made it fun.
By the time we got back to the house, everyone was asleep. My brother was in his room with his ex, the other roommates were in their beds, and the couch already was already taken by other partiers. The only place left to sleep was in the bed of a roommate who was out of town.
Now I wasn’t a total slutbag. I kept my pants on. However, fun times were had by all.
The next morning, one of the partiers sleeping on the couch yelled throughout the house that “MICHAEL FUCKED YOUR SISTER LAST NIGHT!!” We hastily lied about everything, and I went into my brother’s room to take a shower, where I happened upon his ex’s panties on the floor of his room. I just looked at both of them in his bed and laughed. Saved by the bell.
Once I got out of the shower, Michael was gone. I didn’t see or hear from him again the rest of the trip. It wasn’t until 6 months later, when he found me on myspace, that I got a message saying, “I didn’t get to say goodbye!”
We’ve kept in touch off and on over the years, and neither of us have ever told my brother anything.
And now he’s staying with my parents in a foreign country. I’m just glad I’m not there for the awkwardness. Then again, maybe I would have gotten some.
P.S. Lobster says, “What’s his last name? . . . Oh, that sounds Irish. Maybe he’s Catholic and he wants to confess his sins to your family.” Lobster is an asshole.
