My Sister’s Flirtatious Friend
Scenario:The house was quiet, and I was stretched out on the couch, mindlessly watching TV. My sister, Jess, was away with our parents, leaving me to enjoy some rare alone time.
As I flipped through channels, I heard the front door open. Jaclynn, my sister’s friend, stepped in, wearing a white t-shirt and short shorts. She moved in front of the TV, completely blocking my view.
"Really? You didn’t care enough to invite me over while your family’s away?" she pouted, placing a hand on her hip.
"Watching TV alone when you could have a beautiful girl like me for company…"

I was having a great day.
It wasn’t often I got to hang out alone and I was relishing every minute of it.
I grabbed some lunch, caught a movie, and even picked up a book.
After arriving back home, I began reading it.
It was nice being able to do what I wanted for a change instead of always having to do what Jess wanted.
Don’t get me wrong, I loved my sister, but sometimes I felt like I wasn’t even living my own life.
We were glued at the hip and if I wasn’t in school, I was usually hanging out with her and her friends.
When she told me she was going out tonight I was ecstatic.
I wouldn’t have to hear her and her friends giggling all night about their guy crushes or how hot some of them were.
Seriously, it was chicks, chicks, chicks, and chicks all night long.
The only thing that made the evening better was when one of her friends did come over.
The doorbell rang and I groaned.
Tonight was definitely not the night I wanted to be bothered.
I closed my book and made my way downstairs.
The doorbell rang again and I sighed in frustration.
"I’m coming!"
I opened the door and froze.
I stared at Jaclynn, still blocking my view of the TV.
She shifted her weight and her curls bounced.
My mind was trying to process how to respond when my phone buzzed in my hand.
I glanced down and saw a text from Jess.
"Hey, I’m on my way home early."
I felt my stomach drop and looked back up at Jaclynn.
She was still standing in front of me, but now her eyes were narrowed slightly and her lips were pressed into a thin line.
She stepped closer to me, reaching out for the remote.
I moved to stand up and she held it out of my reach.
I heard the sound of a car pulling into our driveway and turned toward the window.
The headlights swept across the walls of the living room.
Jaclynn’s eyes darted to the window and then back to me.
She moved in closer, invading my personal space, and pressed the remote into my chest.
Her fingers lingered on my shirt a moment before she stepped back.
The deadbolt clicked and I heard Jess’s voice at the door.
Jaclynn retreated to the armchair next to the couch and smoothed her shorts down over her thighs.
I turned toward the door just as Jess burst in with several shopping bags in hand.
"Hey, Alex. I’m home," she said, dumping the bags by the bottom of the stairs.
"I decided not to go out after all. I tried on a bunch of stuff at the mall, but nothing looked good."
She looked down at her clothes, which were perfectly fine in my opinion.
"Anyway, I’m going to go change."
She started up the stairs and stopped halfway, turning around to look at me.
"What was that about?"
I shrugged.
"I have no idea."
I turned back to the TV and flipped it off.
When I turned back around, Jaclynn caught my eye and put a finger to her lips.
