Kate and her sister, Lydia, were meeting for their weekly meeting in one of their regular Cafes. With full time jobs, managing the house, and taking care of their kids, they both cherished these weekly get togethers. It was during these times that they could vent and gossip, a glass of wine in hand, and no one around to judge them.
Kate was already sitting, a glass of Chardonnay in her hand and a plate of edamame on the table, when her older sister walked in. Kate was wearing a black pencil skirt, a loose red blouse that showed just a hint of cleavage, and a pair of low black heels. Kate waved to her sister, looking at her gray pant suit, and smiled at her as she walked over, her high crème colored heels clicking as she walked.
"Hi sis." Lydia said cheerfully and leaned down, hugging her younger sister before taking the seat across from her. "What's this?" Lydia asked her sister, pointing to the bowl full of greens on the table.
"I'm trying to eat healthy this week" Kate said and took a sip from her glass.
"You can eat healthy all you want, but we can't break tradition" Lydia said with a smirk and signaled for a waiter who quickly came over. "Hi, I'll take a glass of whatever she's having," Lydia said, pointing to Kate's glass, "and a side of mixed fries" she added with a smile, giving Kate another smirk.
"No problem" the waiter said kindly and walked away.
"I'm gonna be fat someday because of you" Kate said to her sister with a chuckle.
"If I can take the extra calories, you definitely can" Lydia told her younger sister and smiled. Both women were in great shape, with curves you can expect from women at their age. Lydia was a bit curvier than her younger sister who frequented the gym more often, but they were both undoubtedly good-looking women.
"Oh, stop it," Kate said flattered and hit her sister's hand playfully "so, what's up?" she asked.
"You won't believe what happened to me at work yesterday?" Lydia said to her sister and paused to thank the waitress who placed her wine on the table. She took a sip of the wine and started telling her sister the infuriating story. After that, it was Kate's turn to tell some story, and for the next hour they just chatted, like only sisters can, sipping their wine and nibling on their fries happily.
"Did I tell you about Zoe?" Kate asked her sister when they were both nearing the end of their second glass of wine.
"No, what about Zoe?" Lydia asked her sister intrigued.
"You won't believe what I found out?" Kate said with a guilty look on her face, taking another sip from her wine. She leaned closer into her sister and looked into her eyes as she spoke, "So apparently, my daughter is still a virgin" Kate told her sister in a hushed tone.
"What? How do you know? Did she actually tell you?" Lydia asked her sister with surprise.
"No. I went with her to the gynecologist for a standard checkup, he told me after, without her hearing." Kate confided in her sister with a guilty smile.
"Wow, that's quite a surprise, I mean, Zoe is gorgeous" Lydia said, thinking of her petite niece, "Wait, didn't she have a serious boyfriend?" Lydia asked.
"Yeah, they broke up a few weeks ago." Kate said then lowered her tone, leaning in "apparently, he was gay" she said and straightened back as her sister's eyes widened.
"No!" Lydia said shocked "How did I not hear about this until now?" she asked.
"I myself only found out last week. She just burst out crying at dinner one night and wouldn't tell me why. After I pushed her, she told me about it, but made me promise not to tell anyone." Kate explained.
"Good job doing that" Lydia said sarcastically.
"Oh, you don't count" Kate said, taking another sip from her nearly empty glass.
"Thanks sis, I love you too" Lydia said and giggled. "So, are you relieved that she is still a virgin?" Lydia asked.
"Not really. She's at an age where I think she herself is not comfortable with it. Also, guys at that age expect sex from girls they are dating as a given already." Kate said looking worried. "What about Adam, how's he doing?" Kate asked changing the subject.
"I gotta tell you, I'm worried about him." Lydia said. "He's always in his room playing video games either alone or with friends. He has never had a girlfriend and barely goes out. I'm sure he's still a virgin too." Lydia said morosely, finishing her glass with a final gulp.
"Really, I'm surprised you're so sure. Adam is pretty cute" Kate said with a twinkle in her eye that was not appropriate for an aunt when talking about her nephew.
"Trust me, he is. It was much different with his older brother when he was at home. He constantly had girls over and it was clear what he was doing with them, but Adam is nothing like that. I wish he would find a nice girl, even just to take his virginity. I think it would really help his confidence." Lydia said and finished with a tired sigh.
Kate listened to her older sister and her mind started racing. She took in what her sister just said, and when a thought popped into her head, she just blurted it aloud. "What about Zoe?" she asked her sister.
"What about her?" Lydia asked confused.
"What if we get her and…Adam, together?" Kate asked, gaining confidence in her idea.
"You mean like a date?" Lydia asked, looking at her sister like she was crazy.
"No, not a date," Kate said and lowered her voice "they're cousins, they can't be a couple."
"So, what do you mean by get them together?" Lydia asked still confused.
"I mean, maybe they could help each other out" Kate said raising her eyebrows, the innuendo clear in her voice.
"Oh god, you can't be serious." Lydia said disgusted.
"Why not? We agree they both need to get laid, they're both good-looking, and this can help them both out." Kate explained.
