Chapter 7: Unexpected Arousal

A few days passed since the bonfire night. I couldn't actually sleep very well considering the fact that Natalie's been ignoring my phone calls. I'm tempted to drive to her house, slam the door open and shove that stupid phone down her throat. She's mad at me, I get it but she should be able to talk to me about this.

"But I wanna fly too. ", Nicole protests as I put on my cap and goggles.

"I would gladly take you up there. ", I spread my arms, gesturing to the bright sky. "But that buzz kill over there won't let me. ", I point to our dad.

"Let her fly while you're the one who's aviating? No thank you. ", dad laughs. I glare at him.

"I've flown before. You were there. "

"Yeah but this time, you are actually gonna do it alone and if the plane crashes, I don't want you both in it. ", he smirks.

"Don't joke about it. ", I threaten and put my hands on Nicky's waist, lifting her up. She giggles.

"What are you doing? "

"You're coming with me. ", I throw her over my shoulder and speed up towards the shed. Nicole laughs and dad follows.

"You can't go up there with her. I'm serious. Unless I come with you. "

"Then do it. I can always fly by myself. Let's do her a favor this time. She's too excited and I can't say no to her puppy face. "

"Fine. I'm gonna go get my toggery. ", he walks off.

"Find one for her too. And a parachute. ", I yell.

"Put me down now. ", Nicole protests and hits my back.

"I can't. You're too cute when you're helpless. ", I smirk.

"Helpless? Who do you think you are? ", she growls and slaps my ass from behind. I gasp and automatically move forward.

Nicole grips my hair and tugs. "Why are you so annoying? I'm not five anymore! "

"You'll always be my baby sis and a person I like to annoy the most. "

"Lucky me. ", she sarcastically remarks. When her grip on my hair tightens, I groan and fall to the grass with her next to me. My hand cages both of her wrists above her head and I smirk as I raise the other one. She wiggles in my grasp and her eyes widen.

"Don't you dare! Matthew! Ahh! ", Nicole begins to laugh as I tickle her. I laugh and keep torturing her.

"You owe me a bunch of sweets for this plane ride. Got it? ", I jokingly threaten.

"Let me go! ", she keeps laughing and tossing left and right.

"Not until you promise me. "

"I'm gonna die! Dad! Help me! Matthew got cra- ", I cover her mouth with my hand.

"No, no, no. You won't tell dad about our deal. ", I release and lean in to kiss her cheek. "Now do I keep tickling or you are buying me sweets? "

My sister shakes her head.

"Have it your way. ", I tickle again and she laughs harder than ever before. I just smile but the smile is soon replaced with an 'o' shape as her knee comes in hard contact with my crotch. I release her fully, my mouth still open. I can't breathe.

"Oh my.. Oh God. ", I gasp and roll away from her, covering my crotch with my hands and pressing my knees against my chest.

"I'm sorry! Are you okay? ", she sounds worried.

I can't actually speak. The pain gets multiplied within seconds and I am suddenly trembling. Did she have to hit me there?

"I.. I'm so sorry. I couldn't control it! I'll go get dad. ", Nicole panics and kneels beside me. I grab her wrist and shake my head.

"No.. Wait.. Ugh. ", I groan and squeeze my eyes shut.

"Matthew.. Matthew, I'm sorry. Please be okay. ", she whispers and hugs me.

"I'm fine. ", I breathe out as the pain slowly starts to die down.

"Gosh. I was so worried. ", she murmurs and I breathe in once more. I'm fine. I have to be fine. I am.

I wrap my arms around her and sit up, giving her a proper hug. Nicky kisses my cheek and forehead and I smile at her.

"Look who's baby now. ", she giggles and I tackle her to the grass and push my cap off of my head, messing up my hair.

"Can I touch it? ", my sister whines and I lie down next to her. She runs her fingers through it. "It's so weird. "

"Thanks? "

"Hey, you two! ", dad's voice could be heard from his workshop. We look up to see him holding a womanly uniform that is a little bit bigger than Nicole's body.

"I'm gonna be wearing that? Oh joy.. ", she mumbles and sits up. I chuckle.

"There are my lovely pilots! ", mom rides a bike into the shed.

Once she's out, we all greet her. I stand up and wince at the pain shooting down my thighs but it soon lessens.

"You didn't really think you were gonna go up without me? ", she teases.

"I think I should begin charging the tickets. ", I joke.

"Oh hush. ", mom swats at my shoulder. "My girl and I are gonna change and you two stay here. Oh and Mark, pack me some sandwiches to eat up there. "

They walk into the workshop and disappear from our sight.

"Let's do that. I can't wait to see her throw up. ", dad rubs his palms excitedly and I roll my eyes.

When they are ready and we push four parachutes in the small plane, Nicole gets in first and mom sits by her side in case she gets scared. Dad and I sit in the front. Me on the pilot's seat. I lock the doors.

"Are you guys ready? ", I ask, staring at the plain surface of grass in front of me.

"We are never ready with you. Just turn it on. ", dad says and pushes his goggles onto his eyes.

"Everyone got their seatbelts on? ", I check once more.

"Yep. ", Nicole wiggles on the backseat. I smile.

"Then we are going up. "

I press a few buttons and turn on the navigation system. When I finish the preflight checking process, I hit the small handle and the buzzing sound surrounds me. Adrenaline rushes through my body and I smile widely as the plane begins to run down the small runway. Nicole happily squeals and my mom laughs.

"You should have taken Natalie with us! It's a family flight, after all. Where is she? I haven't seen her lately. ", Nicky yells over the noise.

My thoughts wander. Natalie. I promised I'd take her on one of my planes someday. I wish she was here.

"Matthew! Up! ", my dad shouts and I break out of my thoughts.

I quickly push another lever and the plane separates from the ground and climbs higher and higher. The youngest member of our crew screams and I groan.

"Mom! ", she breathes.

"It's nothing! Just turbulence! ", I shout and once we are high enough, straighten the plane and slow down.

Nicole has stopped screaming. Thank god.

"It's alright. Look. ", mom reassures her and points to the ground. I showly circle above the runway and fly farther. When we are above the center of L. A. I notice people raising their heads to take a look.

"Oh my god! Everything looks so small! ", Nicole claps her hands, her tears gone. I chuckle.

"That's what your brother said when he got on the plane for the first time. ", dad laughs.

"Genes. ", I stick out my tongue at him and focus on the sky in front of me.

"This is so awesome. ", Nicole gushes once more.

"I know sis. ", I smile and look at the ground, my eyes falling on Natalie's house.

Later that day, we drove back home and just watched TV. Nicole's fingers are combing through my hair and my head is on her lap as we watch some shitty cartoon that she chose. Yes. I'm that bored.

She's still amazed by flying and I have to say dad told me I'm a pretty good pilot and that he thinks I'm mature enough to fly alone next time. I'm so excited and I can't stop daydreaming about it. I grab my phone when it buzzes and read the new text I got.

Chase: I saw u up there today, u had fun? ? sure did! My whole family was with me in a plane. Nicole is too excited about it u should've seen her face lol she was so cute aww look at u being a good bro ??? ✌?✌ u coming to the party tonight? I'm skipping. Mom's making homemade pizza wbu? same. Celest came over and my parents are out of town.. if u know what I mean.. ?? ? Natalie's with Cole again ? Me: WHAT??? YOU DON'T THINK.. I'm just fucking with you man she's safe at her place.

Apparently I'm never gonna have sex again just think of someone you'd really like to bang, possibly Natalie. That should solve your problem ??? fuck off alright! Bye have fun daydreaming mm.. Once I'm inside, I lock the door and walk up to my desk. A framed photo of Natalie and I eating donuts catches my attention. I smile at our laughing faces as my mom took the picture. I walk up to my window and stare outside. It's getting kind of dark. It's past eight, I think.

Chase is definitely messing with my head. I can't stop thinking of Natalie. Stop it, Matthew. It's just Chase. Don't let him crawl under your skin. I groan and shake my head, trying to get rid of Natalie's plump lips from my mind. Her small hands.. The things they could do.. My cheeks redden at the thought and I lean my forehead against the window. I'm going crazy. But her mouth, tongue.. Fuck.

I feel a rush of arousal run to my core and glance down. Sure as hell I'm getting hard thinking of my best friend.

"Shit, Natalie. ", I scold her in a whisper. What's happening to me?
