Nah

I laid on my bed and buried my head in a pillow. I let out a huge scream into it. It wasn't long until I heard a gentle knock.

“Go away!” I shouted.

“Sweetie, are you alright?” she asked.

“I said, go away!” I reiterated.

“I'm sorry I did that, I couldn't resist. I have never laughed so hard.”

“You're not helping!” I screamed. “Don't be mad at me, laugh with me, you just made Jeanne and Brian's nights! They'll never see anything like that again!” Mom was obviously trying to get serious, but her giggles kept escaping. It went on like that for nearly 10 minutes, but I eventually escaped the adrenaline rush, and her giggles started to infect me. Eventually my anger turned to laughter and I unlocked the door for her.

I was lying on my back on the bed at this point. My mom opened the door wide and stepped in. That's when I noticed Brian coming out of the upstairs bathroom. He froze when he saw me lying their naked. I gave him a little sarcastic finger wave as my mom walked in and closed the door behind her while erupting into a new raucous fit of laughter. I grabbed my pillow and began beating the shit out of her with it, but her laughter didn't stop and again I caved and began laughing with her.

“It wasn't so bad was it?” Once I had calmed down, with a half smile I kind of agreed.

“I guess it wasn't.”

“Jeanne actually seemed quite impressed, and Brian, well lets just say he'll lose a lot of sperm to memories of tonight!”

“Mom!”I screamed, but we both erupted into laughter and were curled up on opposite ends of the bed. Suddenly from downstairs I heard shouting. It grew steadily louder until I could make out the words.

“Encore, Encore, Encore....” repeating.

“You've got to be kidding,” I said rolling my eyes”

“Your adoring fans await!” she said grabbing my hand and pulling me to my feet. Without waiting for my objection she opened my door, and said “Break a leg!”, accenting the comment with a gentle slap on my right tush. I felt the embarrassment begin to surge as I approached the top of the stairs.

My mom whispered “This is good practice honey, go for broke."

The upstairs lights were off except the dim glow from my open bedroom door mildly shielding me from the gaze as Brian and Jeanne came into view. When Tom came into view even he had peeled of his eyes from the tv. That felt weird.

“In for a penny, in for a pound”, I said and took my first step. Click. The stairs and upstairs were now bathed in bright light.

“Damn it mom!” I turned and shouted.

“That's not becoming of a bride to be!” she giggled. The chorus on the couch stated humming the brides march song, so I played along. I slowly walked down the stairs, still nervous, but resolute, waving my queens wave like before, and accepting fake congratulations and tidings. Tom actually got a laugh out of me by saying, “She's so beautiful”, and wiping a fake tear out of his eye.

It's a strange thing laughing naked in front of your brother and his friends. I had accepted this fate. Mom was going to keep me naked around these jerks until she got bored, so fuck it. It's too late for modesty now. I finished my descent, and they stopped humming. Tom seemed to be passed amusement at his naked sister and went back to the boob tube, but I still had Brian and Jeanne's attention.

“Whelp, This is me naked. Yep.” I said just kind of standing there behind the couch.
