The Holiday Special, part 1

We are all sat around the dining table, enjoying my dad's famous pork roast for Christmas dinner. It’s me, my dad and stepmom, Amanda, and Mrs. Nguyen, the old widow living next door. She has lived there since before i was born, and used to babysit all the time, back when it was just me and my dad.

So, when my dad heard that her son and his family’s flight had been cancelled, so they wouldn’t get here in time for Christmas, he had, of course, invited her to spend Christmas Day with us.

“Tell me dear,” she says, looking at me. “How is school, are you enjoying it? Are the lecturers any good?”

“Yeah,” I respond, a half-chewed piece of pork in my mouth. I take a moment to swallow the food. “The lecturers are pretty good, at least for a community college. Most of them have a way of making their lectures interesting, even when the subject matters can become a bit dry”

I take another bite of pork, and dip it in the cranberry sauce, before bringing it to my mouth.

“I'm glad to hear that” Mrs Nguyen tells me. “My Son thinks I’m too old to take care of myself now, so my granddaughter, Lina, will be moving here to live with me. She will be transferring to your school when the new semester starts after the winter break.”

Lina is a year younger than me. We had often played together as kids, when she was visiting her grandma during holidays. As we had grown older, she hadn’t visited as often, and I would start spending more time with friends, no longer needing to be babysat be the next-door neighbor. So I hadn’t seen Lina since the summer before last, just after she had turned eighteen.

But what a sight she had grown into. She was short, maybe 5’ exactly, maybe an inch or two shorter. She had come over to our fence to say hi to me one day I was out in the back yard sunbathing, and the sight of her had almost knocked the wind out of me. She had a beautiful smile, wide curvy hips, and her big tits pushed up by her bikini, jiggling for every step she took.

Our conversation hadn’t been long, mostly because I realized I had to get inside before she noticed the growing bulge in my shorts. After catching up for a bit, talking about the silly games we had played as children, I had excused myself citing some made up chore I needed to do. I had then quickly retreated to my bedroom, which just so happened to have a perfect view over the neighbors' backyard. I had spent a lot of time in my room that summer.

“How is Lina?” My stepmom asks Mrs. Nguyen, as the memories of my last encounter with her granddaughter rush through my mind. “I didn’t see her at all this summer.”

“She spent the summer with a friend who has a vacation house in South Carolina, Pawleys island i think the place is called. Guess she’s too old now to spend her holidays with her ancient Grandma” she says with a light tone, letting us know that there is no hard feelings towards her Granddaughters choice. “You know,” she says, turning to me. “I’m sure she would love to study with you once school starts up. She doesn’t know many people around here, a familiar face helping her out would be greatly appreciated.”

“I’m sure the dweeb would love that” Amanda spits out under her breath, barely audible across the table. “Whats that dear” Mrs. Nguyen asks her. “You have to speak up my hearing isn’t what it once was.”

“I said she could do better for friends than this loser here” Amanda says glaring at me. “If she is spotted even once with this dweeb, she’ll be guaranteed to make no friends around here. Everyone will just assume she is a loser as well.

“Amanda,” My stepmother exclaims angrily. “That is no way to speak about your brother. Or anyone for that matter. What is wrong with you?” The words have barely left her lips before Amanda storms off, stomping down the hallway towards her bedroom.

My stepmother turns to Mrs. Nguyen. “I’m so sorry about that,” she tells her. “I have no idea what came over her, she’s usually not behaved like that.”

“Don't worry about it” Mrs. Nguyen replies, “I’m sure it's just normal sibling rivalry.”

Me, Amanda and Cathy had spent the rest of the summer together, mostly fucking. But also, just hanging out, especially after our parents returned from Europe. At one point Amanda's mom commented on glad she was that we were such goods friends now, after we spent an entire day hiking together, when we usually couldn’t spend 5 minutes in the same room without one of us insulting the other. Of course, what she doesn’t know is that we went hiking to this secluded mountain lake I knew off, where I spent most of the day fucking Amanda and Cathy in the hot summer sun.

At the end of the summer, we all had agreed to continue our little adventures when we met up, but also to keep things casual. So when Amanda came back for thanksgiving, her old cold self towards me, i just thought she wasn’t interested in our little agreement anymore. I had also talked to Cathy about the situation, and she had let me know Amanda had been more reserved towards her as well in the weeks before.

Still, her outburst at the dinner table took me by surprise. She had never been that direct in her hostility towards me, especially not in front of our parents. And certainly not in front of guests. The tone around the table was a bit more nervous after that, the conversation not flowing quite as freely as it had before as we finished up our meal.

“That was delicious, Honey,” my stepmother tells my dad as she swallows the last bite of her food. “I think, maybe even better than last years.”

“It truly was delicious” Mrs. Nguyen chimes inn. “I might have to order my sons flight for the wrong date next year, so I can get invited back.”

I let my agreement be known as I started cleaning off the table. Normally that would be a task i shared with Amanda, but this year I had to do it alone. After we eat dessert and Christmas cookies, I excuse myself to my room, as Mrs. Nguyen declares it’s time for her to head home. I spend a few hours at my PC gaming, before i head to bed.
