“Hey little brother!”
“Monet? What’s happenin’ bible humper?” Mace Belmont sat on his bed clad in only a maroon towel after a nice warm shower and opted for a bit of peace and quiet. He should have known it wouldn’t last long. Especially when he knew his gorgeous sister intended to call via a text earlier in the evening.
“Don’t be blasphemous!”
“In my DNA! Yours too even though you hide it well. I got a text from Mom saying she got back home after dropping you off last week. Bet you’re happy to see her go.”
“You have no idea! I love Mom but can she ever hover.”
“Trying out for Angel status. She just knows you, Monet. You say you want to be a Minister someday, but we all know you’re a hardcore sinner just like…”
“Aunt Piper?”
“Aunt Bree too, even though she’s into girls.”
“I haven’t talked to either of them in months. Bree’s in college too to be a lawyer so that keeps her busy, I’m sure. How is Aunt Piper doing as a School Counsellor? Never saw that coming!” She chuckled.
“She’s doing great the students love her. She even coaches the Cheerleading squad.”
“That’s right up her alley.”
“What isn’t?” He laughed knowing well his aunt had a whole bowling team up her alley. Bowling strangely sounded fun. Maybe he would see if his cable gal Francesca would like to go and knock down a few pins as their first official date. He did still need to get back in touch with Franky before she thought he was playing her. No, just a procrastinator. That and having a bevy of other beauties keeping him occupied didn’t help. Heck he still hadn’t asked the McKellen twins about babysitting Franky’s son Diego when the time came.
“Has anyone figured out who she is yet? It’s probably hard to hide her past.”
“If they do nobody’s giving her hell. She’s too cool to have anyone give her any real trouble. Besides you know Aunt Piper’s an escape artist. She can get out of anything.”
“I guess! So when are you going back to Atlanta? Mom is going bonkers missing you. With both of us out of the house she doesn’t know what to do with herself.” She would find something to keep her occupied. Their dad Rex had a few dozen ideas. The times they were a changin’. So was Mona Cherry-Belmont.
“She should just go help Dad at the stables. That would keep her busy. Might help their marriage too.” She had that covered. So did Rex!
“You know Mom won’t get her hands dirty. Horses are to be rode not picked up after.”
“I dunno she picked up after me and I’m hung like a horse.” Mace had to rub it in, off if he wasn’t careful. He was fiddling under his towel, but that was natural for him. Especially after going walking with Kelly Herbert and running into the gorgeous MMA fighter Daphne Dillman a few blocks over. A timely assist in dealing with Knox Hardecker and his crew.
“Don’t remind me! I’ve watched you jerk that thing off one time too many Little Brother.”
“You know you liked watching me.”
“Just like I know you liked watching me. Can we change the subject?” She giggled.
“Find you a man yet?”
“A few!” She sighed, “I’m trying to behave but it’s hard.” Not even close! LOLOLOLOL! “I haven’t put out since I’ve been here because I’m really trying to do the right thing.” Lie! Thou shalt not but did over and over again. God was the first exclamation out of her mouth every single time, many more followed. She referred to herself as a Propheteer. Seeing was relieving!
“Won’t last! You might fool Mom and Dad, but you can’t fool me.”
“Shush! How about you? Hooking up with any girls?”
“Half the cheerleading squad notched on my belt already. Tapped the girl who hooked up our cable too. Twins next door have been fun, did almost everything to Dakota the oldest of the two but I haven’t fucked either of them yet. They’re still virgins. Probably won’t do the younger one Sable, she’s dating a guy I made friends with. It would crush him.”
“Good for them. Not for him!”
“Next week I can guarantee both will lose it. Big birthday weekend.”
“Awesome! Are you going to chase after this Dakota more once she loses it?”
“On the fence. Even though we goofed off and almost went there she’s committed to a football player named Angus. I really don’t want to come between anybody. Plenty of other fish in the aquarium.”
“You always did like to dip your finger along the surface.”
“Until Uncle Victor’s piranha jumped out of the tank and chased me across the living room floor.” He laughed. “Now I know better. So what else is going on? Preachers offering to lay hands on you 24/7?”
“You have no idea.” She laughed. “Youth pastors mostly but I’ve seen a few Ministers here that I know don’t practice what they preach. I’ve been scolded a few times already for my behavior but what they don’t know won’t hurt them or me. I’m sneaky you know that. I…” She lowered her voice, “…hold on a second.”
While he heard his sister giggling and another girl talking, he really couldn’t make out what was being said, Monet had her cell buried in her chest to muffle a conversation. He did hear something about Holly, but it could have been Holy. Three minutes he held vigilant with nothing to do so he removed his towel and set out to search for a clean pair of sweats to lounge in for the night. He lived in sweats these days unless he went somewhere that required dressing up. He needed to go clothes shopping. When he came to Atlanta he only packed enough for a week. Living here now he required more.
Sweats thrown on the bed with socks and a tank top he put his cell on speaker to start getting dressed. Just as he sat the phone on his mattress Monet came back. “I have a present for you little brother.”
“Present? Sending me an angel food cake?”
“Sending something even better. Still an angel involved though.”
“Oh yeah?” He receives a text from her with a nude picture of a hot yet slightly nerdy redhead striking a pose naked in front of the camera waving. He could tell she was embarrassed. “Who is this? She looks a little like you. Only you never blush.”
“Hi Mace.” He heard the girl behind Monet hugging her shoulders to be closer to the cell.
“This is my roommate Holly. I’ve ruined her faith after I set her up with God. My God…his name is Goddard.” She laughed. “Other boys too.”
“I thought you said you hadn’t put out since you got to Raleigh.” He knew she was lying.
“Hail Mary! Hail Mary! Hail Mary!” She rattled off rapidly, “Oops! That’s Catholic, isn’t it? Fine! You knew I was bullshitting. Yes, I’m having the time of my life here.”
“Uhhh? Isn’t going to seminary school supposed to be sacred?”
“I thought it said SEMENary. My bad.” More giggles.
“I think I joked about that with Aunt Piper when we talked about you last. Don’t get kicked out or Mom and Dad will never forgive you.”
“Mom might not but you know Daddy would. He loves his baby girl.”
“I don’t wanna know.” With his cell on speaker Mace put fingers in his ears going, “LALALALALA!” Holly busted up in the background. “So why did you send me Holly’s nude pic? Nice tits by the way.”
“Thanks. Can I see your dick?” Holly laughed. “Monet said it’s huge.”
“Seriously Monet? You’re telling people you’ve seen my dick?” He wanted to laugh but tried to act pissed.
“Seen it, held it…”
“HEY! Stop advertising.”
“You’ve held your brother’s dick?” Holly questioned Monet in awe.
“So I’ve jerked him off. We’ve never had sex.”
“You’re an idiot Monet!” Mace rolled his eyes.
“Oh my gosh! I’ve always wanted to do that to my cousin Jonah.” Holly revealed. “He’d never let me though.”
“Can we talk about something else?” Mace played their game. Sneakily he took a picture of his erection and typed a caption saying, “Beat this Nerd.” with a smug emoji. Sending it as the girls babbled on Monet asked, “What’s this?”
“Me flipping you off.” He chuckled.
“OH MY GOD!” Holly was beet red in the distance. “That’s a really, really big finger.”
“Pointed right at you Red.”
“You should come visit your sister.” She giggled.
“I might take a road trip one of these days. Would I get to take your virginity?” He dared to go there.
“Too late. God took it last week. But I’d still have sex with that. I bet Olive would too.”
“Who’s Olive?”
“Our other roommate.” Monet chimed in, “There’s four of us but Piggy is spoken for. I’ll get you a pic of Olive when she comes home from Bible Study.”
“Is she as hot as the Nerd?”
“Busty hot even. I’ve been giving them makeovers.”
“Awesome! You look great Holly. Don’t mind me joking about the nerd look.”
“I know I’m a nerd, you’re fine.”
“Is Aunt Piper around?” Monet asked.
“Before I jumped in the shower, she said something about going for an after dark swim. Probably out by the pool. I had a small party yesterday and I bought a dildo bong for the twins to get high for the first time. I gave it to Aunt Piper with some extra weed so she’s probably outside stroking and toking.”
“That’s hilarious.” Holly chimed in, “I’ve never been high.”
“Another reason to road trip Little Brother.”
“I’ll let you know. I have things going on here right now. Trying to date our Cable Lady Francesca, Piper keeps telling me I need to find a job if I’m going to stay here.”
“Does Mom know you’re planning on living with Aunt Piper?”
“Not yet! I know she’s going to object and bawl her eyes out.”
“I know she cried before she left me here. Send me a pic of Aunt Piper getting high. That would be priceless.”
“I’ll call you back in a bit. Let me get dressed and I’ll let her talk to you.”
“I’ll be here eating out my roomie.”
“WHAT????” Holly yelped, “NO! I MEAN IT!” The redhead ran to get dressed before Monet could prove she truly would do it. Holly was not ready to be bi. Mace laughed and said, “I bet she would let me do it.” He in turn heard Holly say, “VISIT ALREADY!”
“There’s your sinvitation Little Brother.”
“HA! Sinvitation! Gimme ten minutes or so Sis.”
“Yep! Later!” Monet did still run and jump on Holly tickling the girl, licking her face just to make her crazy. Holly knew Monet was serious.

Next door…
“It’s nice to have my wife home for a change.” Henry McKellen opted to set aside his office work and enjoy Josie’s company. In the kitchen unloading the dishwasher and putting things away shocked him. “Do I hear the washer and dryer even?” He chuckled stepping up behind her and nuzzling her neck, his arms surrounding her waist. “Look at you go!”
