Healing Cousin George

Dinner at Debbie's

   

My eye's fluttered open as the early morning sun crept it's way across the room. It took me a few second's to get my bearing's, you all know that feeling waking up in a strange room. Memories of last night flooded back, the party, George drinking and us ending up here at Aunt Karen's. George's arm was still flopped across my waist; it didn't seem that he had moved an inch all night. What time is it I thought, I stretched out my arm and reached George's mobile, I lifted it and switched it on the backlight appearing as it did with Melissa's face as his wallpaper.

It was just gone half past eight the phone beeped I looked at it 8 missed calls I pressed the button, all of them from "Manda", oh god she'll be going spare by this time I thought. Once more I snuggled in; yeah there it was another erection nudging into my thong covered ass. What is it with guy's erection's last thing at night at first thing in the morning! It seemed like ages since I had experienced one indeed even that passionate kiss from Debbie a while back had only encouraged a mild stirring in the loins.

A slight rap at the door "Amanda, George you awake," George stirred a little grunted a bit and woke. Shock must have taken over when he realised his arm was draped over me he sat bolt upright, whether he was immediately aware of the erection I don't know but he rubbed his eyes and ran his fingers through hi tousled hair.

"What time is it" he asked.

"Eh just around quarter to nine" I replied.

"Shit I'm supposed to be meeting Pete in half an hour we had a job on" he partially stepped out of bed.

Another rap at the door "Amanda, George you awake."

"We are Karen" I said in a loud voice.

The door opened she stepped inside. George probably became aware of the erection at that point. Grabbing his trousers he made sure he turned his back before pulling them up.

"I need a shower and to call Pete, ok if I take a shower" he said turning to face Aunt Karen.

"Yeah that's fine dear, water has been on for ages, should be nice and hot" she said.

I sat up pulling the covers up to just above my breasts; I glanced over at the camp bed.

"Where's Melissa" I asked.

"Downstairs having her breakfast, I popped my head in earlier you two seemed so comfortable so I let you lie" she said.

A blush started to cross Geroge's face as he passed Aunt Karen and headed out the door.

"Ok I'll just get dressed and join you" I said, "You want any breakfast" she asked,

"Eh some toast and coffee will do me fine" I said,

"Ok see you downstairs" and with that she left.

I got up and changed into the spare set of clothes, I had packed for an emergency. By the time I was dressed George was back out of the shower and calling Pete on his mobile.

"Pete, its George look mate we had to stay over last night, you ok to kick it off" he asked as I picked up my make up bag and headed to the bathroom to touch up my face.

Twenty minutes later we were all seated downstairs drinking some coffee as George looked at his watch every few seconds. I drained the last of my cup and got up.

"Come on babes" I said to Melissa "Daddy need's to get back" I walked over and gripped her hand as she toddled after me to go and pack away our stuff.

Fifteen minutes later we were back at Mum's and pulling away from her driveway as her and Ashley waved us of, Dad was still in bed nursing his hangover so another meeting had been avoided. As we pulled out onto the main road, George said,

"Eh sorry about last night"

"What the drinking" I asked in that tone that women can use to make disapproval apparent.

"Eh well yeah and this morning as well me draped over you" he said stuttering a bit on his words.

"That's ok" I said a slight smile crossing my face as I turned to face out the window.

"Good" was all he said and the rest of the journey descended into silence.

Back home Debbie was on the phone less than thirty minutes after we got back home. George had shot of to help Pete and no doubt grovel to Amanda. Melissa was busy tucking in to her lunch as I spoke to Debbie on the phone.

"So how did it go" she asked.

"Fine, except for me being rumbled by my Grandma because Melissa ran over shouting Awex at me"

There was laughter in the background "What did you do" she asked.

"I just spoke to her explained, she wasn't happy but I asked her to keep quiet for the night and speak to Mum about it"

"And did she"

"Yeah" I replied as I lit a cigarette.

"So how come, you stayed over" she asked.

"Well Dad got George drinking and I wouldn't let him drive so we had to stay with Aunt Karen."

"So she had plenty room then"

"Eh well yes and no" I said hesitating slightly.

"So where did you all sleep"

"Well she had a spare camp bed so Melissa slept there me and George had to share."

There was a silence.

"You slept with him"

I could feel my face go red as she spoke; I took a draw on the cigarette.

"Well not exactly we only shared the same bed."

"Jesus Amanda would hit the ceiling if she knew that" she said laughter overtaking her words.

"It's not funny he had eight missed calls from her on his mobile this morning."

"Of she will be happy I can see her face now, if she knew you were impersonating her she would be even madder."

"Eh, it get's a bit worse than that" I said hesitantly.

"How come"

"Well during the party, when Dad was drunk he insisted on a kiss between me and George. At first it was just a peck on the cheek, but then he insisted on a bit more so we had a fully fledged snog."

That was it Debbie dissolved into laughter, it was a good while before I could calm her down and get some more sense out of her.

"Alex look it's ages since me and Gavin had any company over here and it's our wedding anniversary on Friday, why don't you and George come over for dinner.

"Eh I don't know maybe that would be pushing it a bit" I replied.

"Well ask him it's been ages since him and Gavin had a good chat" she persisted.

"Ok I'll ask him"

"Good, I'll ring you tomorrow, now I need to go to the loo, all that laughing has my bladder bursting, see you babes."

"Ok speak to you soon."

********

I left the subject for a day or so before approaching George. So one night over dinner I asked,

"Are you seeing Amanda this weekend?"

"Why"

"Oh nothing really" I replied.

"Only on Saturday, she's going out with her mates from work on Friday" he added.

I was in, "It's just that Debbie and Gavin invited us over for dinner on Friday, it's their anniversary"

"Eh I don't know if that would be such a good idea"

"Oh go on" I said adding "Debbie said it's been ages since you and Gavin had a good old chat"

"Yeah that's true you know we used to play football together in the same team when we were younger"

"Well than, lot's to catch up on"

"I suppose, ok tell her it's a date" he said picking up his plate and walking across the kitchen he deposited it in the sink.

"I'm just going to say goodnight to Melissa" he added.

"Ok no problem, I'll wash up" I said.

Next morning I called Debbie first thing, "Were on for dinner" I said.

"Good going girl that means shopping trip tomorrow" I could hear the excitement in her voice.

"Why shopping" I asked.

"Well you need a new dress for dinner."

I laughed saying "Debbie your incorrigible"

"Yeah I know but you love me really, see you tomorrow babes."

As planned Debbie had turned up early Wednesday and drove us to Glasgow for another shopping expedition. If there's one thing Debbie does well it's shopping and as usual she dragged me around stores looking for an outfit. Finally satisfied that she had found me the right dress, we set about finding something for her as well as shirt's and ties for Gavin and George, oh and making sure Melissa was not left out a couple of thing's for her as well.

Saturday came and with Melissa dressed and ready I set about getting my self ready for our dinner. Once I had done my make up something I was now becoming particularly skilled with experimenting with colours and shades. I pulled open the wardrobe. Looking inside I was amazed by how much clothes I had now accumulated but then that's Debbie and shopping for you. I found the dress that she had insisted I buy. It was a tight red affair made from some sort of shiny fabric, it wasn't latex or silk or anything like that but it felt lovely to wear against my skin so cool and refreshing I thought as I pulled it over my curves and then zipped up the back. Picking up a pair of 4 inch heeled patent shoes with a slight platform I slipped them on to my feet. I crossed back to the dresser and sprayed some Ysatis perfume liberally over my neck and cleavage before spraying some more on my wrists the smell of the scent hung heavy in the room. Dropping the bottle into a small red clutch bag I put in my cigarettes and lighter and my compact and lipstick.

Leaving the room I descended the stairs my heels clicking on the wooden slats as I acme down.

Downstairs I found George and Melissa waiting for me. "You look nice" he said looking up from Melissa, I stopped dead in my tracks. Did he just say what I thought he said, I paused "Eh thanks, shall we go then" I said.

"Yeah let's go, come on Mel, were off to Auntie Debs for the night"

"Devvi, Devvi" Melissa called in her high pitched voice as George took her hand and we left the house.

*********

Debbie surprised me with her cooking expertise that night. For someone who is out on the town so much her culinary skills were excellent and after a succulent meal, George and Gavin retired to Gavin's games room to play some pool. While me and Debbie cleaned up and looked after Melissa. As the night drew on Melissa finally gave in to the exertions of the day and Debbie uncorked a bottle of wine for us to enjoy. We sat back with a cigarette and a cool glass of wine.

"So what are you going to do" Debbie asked.

"About what"

"About George of course it's obvious that you would like to be more than just a babysitter." She said.

"Is it, I don't know really what I want to do, my minds in turmoil I know that Amanda's not the one for him or Melissa for that matter, but me and him, your having a laugh." I said.

"Why"

"Well for one he's not gay and in case you've forgotten I'm really a guy" I replied.

"You could always change" she said.

I looked at her taking a draw from my cigarette and blowing out a white stream of smoke.

"Change" I asked.

"Yeah have a sex change; lots of people do it."

"Well maybe they do but I've not thought about it" I said sipping some more glass from my wine I looked nervously around.

"Look Alex I'm not telling you what to do or putting ideas in your head, but the guy I met those few short months ago was a nice person but not a patch on the person sitting in front of me now. You've made George and Melissa a family again it would be a shame to waste it"

The door opened at that point and George and Gavin stepped back in "Whipped his ass George" said as they entered.

"What you too gossiping about" Gavin asked as he followed George in,

"Oh just our men" Debbie said and I could see a blush spread across George's face.

"Nothing new there then" Gavin said as he bent down and gave Debbie a kiss.

We sat around chatting for a while before it was time to go. With Melissa all wrapped up and a cab ordered to take us back to the farm. We sat out in the porch finishing of our drinks watching the road for our cab.

"Say I've got an idea" Debbie said "Next week is the bank holiday why don't we all go to a theme park for the day."

"Yeah why not" Gavin said

"Eh I've got too much work on" George interrupted.

"George you need to take on some more help, look Pete's one of the best young farm hands around, in fact I wish he worked for me. While Melissa is still young you want to spend more time with her, you'll regret it if you don't. Besides when the times right and Debbie is pregnant I'll be spending so much time with her she'll hate the sight of me" he said glancing down at her and giving her a playful hug.

George glanced over at the sleeping Melissa, "Maybe I should" he said as he watched her, just then a car horn honked outside.

The drive back to the farm was silent, once back inside I took Melissa upstairs and put her to bed. When I came back down George sat with a glass of whiskey and lemonade.

"You want a drink" he asked.

"Yeah its ok I'll get it" I said

I walked to the drink's cabinet and poured myself a rather large measure of vodka; pouring in some coke and a couple of ice cubes I joined George in the lounge. We sat mostly in silence with just little comments about how nice Gavin and Debbie's house was and how good the meal was. Finally George drained his glass and stood up.

"I'm off to bed you going up" he said.

I sat transfixed for a minute thinking about what he had just said, and then snapped out of my dream and back to reality.

"Eh no I think I might have another one, and then go up" I said drinking the last of my drink I stood up. As we passed George spoke, "I had a good night tonight and you did look good" he said.

"Thanks, I had a good time too" I replied.

At that he leaned forward and kissed me on the cheek.

"Goodnight" he said.

"Yeah, goodnight."

I watched him mount the stairs and heard his room door close. I poured my self another drink and sat down opening my bag and taking out my cigarettes I lit one. Three or four more drink's later and another couple of cigarettes and I was going to bed as well, with a brain that was in turmoil and had all sort's of thought's running through it.
