He's done enough (and isn't interested in Karen)

Matt and Karen walked up the driveway toward their small apartment. It was late and their mother hadn't left a light on because the owners who lived in the big house upfront said the porch light interfered with their dog's sleep.

"They're just kids, no different from the kids in L.A.," Matt said. "Pretending to dance, being horny and not wanting to seem to eager."

{if karendance=true}Karen put her arm around Matt and gave his shoulders a squeeze. "Thank you for dancing with me. Nobody wants to be the first to ask someone. After we danced, three other guys asked. Including that jumbo-sized Freddy."

Matt shouldn't be jealous. He and Karen weren't lovers, they were helping each other out, that was all. Still, the idea of Freddy pawing his petite sister made his stomach churn. "Please tell me you didn't dance with him."

Karen laughed. "I'd seen him wreck the toes of his previous two partners so no, I didn't. What, are you jealous?"

"No, of course... okay, maybe a little."

"I was a little jealous of you, too."{endif}

{if amydance=true}"I'm glad you danced with Amy. It meant a lot to her."{endif}

{if karendance=false}That dance was the complete pits. I can't believe you wouldn't even dance with me."

"I meant to but I ran out of time."

"Yeah, sure.{endif}

Matt put his key in the door and the two snuck into the apartment. The wall's thin drywall didn't block the sound of their dad's snoring... he must have come home after they'd left for the party and, as usual, **** made him snore. If they woke him they'd hear about it for days.

{if karendance=true}"I owe you, brother. And I'm going to pay you back." She gave him a long hug, sinking into his arms.

He blushed. "Night, Karen."

"Night, Matt. We'll have more fun tomorrow."

{elseif}"Night, Matt. Sometimes you're a jerk but I still like you." Karen kissed him on the cheek leaving him feeling confused and... well, horny.{endif}
