Chapter 16
Alexa now burst out laughing and my mother just rolled her eyes at my dad's sense of humour, something she'd endured for well over twenty-five years. Me? I just sat there and looked disgruntled. It was now part of an act Alexa and I had agreed to, in order to keep my parents from finding out how close we were becoming.
We left the restaurant and Alexa was about to get into my car with me when my mom stopped her, shaking her head.
"Allie, drive home with Michael, if you will," she said, easing her by the shoulder towards my dad's 4x4. "I want to have a word with Emily Post here about keeping good company."
Alexa looked at me before she climbed into the car and gave me a small wave, a gesture I did not return. The trip home consisted of my mother lecturing me about being nicer and more accommodating to my aunt.
"I don't understand," she groused. "You both love languages, you both love political sciences, you love anthropology and history... you two should be getting along like gangbusters."
I said nothing but merely sighed.
"I'm pretty sure she's making an effort to reach out to you, so what's the deal?" she asked, looking at me. "She's your aunt, Alex, and she's much closer to your age than she is to mine, that should make it easy for you. The only thing she and I really have in common is sharing a mother and we're both frighteningly smart."
"Well, as long as you're modest about it." I quipped, trying not to smirk as I drove.
"Don't you snark at me, Doctor House," mom warned shooting me a look. "I don't care if you need to reach so far down that you pull yourself inside out, you are going to be engaging and friendly from now on. Capisci?"
"Yes..." I sighed.

Later that night, my mom and dad received a phone call from a colleague who wanted their assistance with some issue. The friend lived on the far side of town and dad suspected they might stay and would not be back til morning. And while they seemed to think that Alexa was perfectly capable of looking after herself, mom gave me a stern advice squarely in the middle of the kitchen where dad and her sister could hear her.
"And as for you," she began, her arms folded as she looked me dead in the eye. "Don't you dare disappear downstairs to play games or watch movies or whatever. At least not without your aunt. Watch a movie with her in the living room or teach her to play a game, whatever. But you damn well socialize and be nice."
"Ja wohl, mein mommadant..." I grumbled. She looked at me once more before shaking her head and then hugging her sister goodbye. Dad patted me on the shoulder and followed mom out to the car. Once the door closed, Alexa and I walked into the dark living room and looked out the big bay window, making sure they actually left. Once they were gone, she turned to look at me and smirked.
"You know," she began, poking me in the chest. "You wouldn't get so much crap if you were nicer to me..."
At this I started laughing, all my accumulated grumpiness draining away. I pulled her to me and hugged her close, enjoying the feel of her body and the way she hugged me back.
"Big challenge," I retorted. "How could I be nicer to the woman I was playing tonsil hockey with less than three hours ago?"
"Well, yes, but that was more of an impromptu shinny game that a scheduled match," she pointed out. "Not that it wasn't a good one, though."
I shook my head. "Still can't believe you know things about hockey. Most Europeans don't know shit about it."
"Except the Swedes and the Finns," she chided. "That and I'm not actually European."
"I know, it's still weird, though," I sighed. "Okay, so I have to be courteous and nice and keep you entertained. What wouldst milady like to do?"
She pondered. "You think they'll be back tonight?"
"Unlikely," I replied. "They never are when they go to see the Stevensons."
"Then it's easy," she said brightly. "Jacuzzi."
"Deal. I'll go fire it up and then get some beers." I declared. She clapped happily and ran off upstairs. I went out to the back verandah and uncovered the hot tub. I loved our backyard, it was large and surrounded by tall conifers and willows, meaning we had privacy from neighbours who might feel nosy. Once it rumbled to life, I went inside and got a six pack of beers, the ones with the moose on the label, just so Alexa had to try it.
I went down to the basement and found my bathing shorts, changing into them quickly before going back upstairs and grabbing two plush towels from the closet where we kept supplies for the hot tub. I lit the citronella candles around the deck, making sure that bugs would be a minimal bother. The last touch was to uncover and turn on the stereo and mp3 player attached to the hot tub. Not only would we have beer and be bug-free, we'd also have whatever music we liked.
"You nearly ready down there?" Alexa called from the window almost directly above me, which happened to be my old bedroom window.
"All set," I replied, giving her the thumbs up even though I couldn't see her because the light in the room was off. "C'mon down when you're ready, I'm gettin' in."
I clambered in and settled down on one side of the tub, facing the screen door so I could see Alexa when she came out. The night was gorgeous and I turned on some light jazz music. Maybe two minutes later, the screen door opened and Alexa came outside, wrapped in a towel and carry her small purse. She smiled brightly when she saw me.
"Glad to see you're settled in and relaxed!" she said as she let the towel drop away from her body. I couldn't help it, my eyes went wide- she was wearing one of the smallest bikinis I'd ever seen. Her incredible breasts were barely restrained by the shiny black material, even more perfect than my imagination had allowed for. Not that I was complaining, mind you.
She undid and flung aside her top, freeing her breasts from their tiny confines. She was walking up the small wooden steps and preparing to get in when she saw my face and paused, initially wondering what was wrong but then smirking. "What? Is this about my boobs?"
"You, uh, seem to have misplaced your top..." I rasped, my throat rather dry.
"No, I left it right where it belongs," she replied, pointing toward the deck, where it lay in a tiny heap. "Why would I keep myself restrained in a bikini top once I knew your Karen and Mike weren't going to be joining us?"
"I... well okay, fair point," I said, recovering. "It's just unexpected is all."
She shrugged. "Not like you have to wear a top when you go to the beach or go swimming, is it?" she countered, now stepping inside the pool. I took in the sight of her whole body now and it was simply perfect. Her shoulders were supple and smooth. Her breasts were full and in spite of their size they didn't sag, with small pink areolas and nipples on her fair skin. Her torso nipped down into a trim stomach and gorgeous hips. Her bikini bottom was very small, leaving little to the imagination and as she stepped over the wall of the jacuzzi to get in I could see the fabric that covered her pussy giving way, allowing a peek at her netherlips.
