Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 4

In the bathroom, Evan stopped drying his head when he heard his dad calling his name. It was dinner time. He flattened his thick black hair and pulled gray sweatpants up is wet legs.

"Sorry," he said, when he reached the kitchen, "I thought I had more time." He sat to his father's right, on the long side of the table. It was a large table, like his father. Deana and Gloria were seated across from him and his mom, Candy was to his right, at the opposite end from his dad.

His father, dug his fork into a mountain of baked zitti and everyone else started eating. That was the rule, don't start until everyone was seated. Unofficially, not until their dad started. One day he might ask why they didn't say grace anymore.

He kicked Gloria under the table and motioned with his chin to her napkin. She quickly moved it to her lap.

"You staying focused for the end of the year, finals?" John said, and took a sip from a glass of wine. "This isn't the time to start slacking off. He stuffed a hunk of garlic bread into his mouth. Crumbs grabbed onto his black mustache.

Evan inhaled, wishing he could tell him the truth. He glanced at Candy's pursed lips and swallowed his response and lied, "Yes, Sir.

His dad added, "I hope so. This year and next are the most Important towards college."

Gloria's toes grabbed his kneecap. He resisted the urge to tickle her foot. "Mom, did you know you gave birth to the next Picasso?" He felt Gloria's toes tighten. "Really, she drew a picture that will make her rich someday." He looked at his blushing sister then back to his mom. They could pass as twins, except Gloria's hair was golden-blonde and Candy's was more of a strawberry-blonde.

"She's definitely got talent," Candy said.

Evan thought he should say something about the open button between his mom's breasts, but he stared through the gap at her black bra instead. Her wonderful melons rested on the table when she reached for the Parmesan. He imagined himself sitting on the table in and sliding his dick through the valley of cleavage.

"Don't get her hopes up until she learns something she can earn money doing," his father said.

Evan jerked his eyes away from Candy's cleavage and reached for Gloria's foot. He squeezed it and rubbed her toes. She kept eating without looking up.

John said, "Did TechAdvance come today?"

"Yes, it's done," Candy said, without adding details.

"Good, I'm glad," John said, between mouthfuls of pasta.

Evan followed the volley of conversation, wondering if his mom was pissed off about the security system, or something else.

That night, after finishing his homework, Evan was ready for a snack. He went down the stairs from his room in the attic. At the bottom of the stair, he opened the door carefully, so he wouldn't hit anybody walking past. The bathroom door was to his right, and Deana's and Gloria's bedrooms were at the other end of the hallway. He'd had plenty of opportunities to bash one of them when he got in a rush.

"Boo!" Gloria shouted in the dark corridor.

He took a deep breath, pretending she hadn't scared the crap out of him, then finished closing the door. "You're going to have to do better than that" he said.

Gloria's smile said she knew she'd scared him. "Evan," she said, "do you really think I have talent?"

"You bet," he said. It seemed like only a few days had past since he'd lifted her by her armpits, kissed her nose, and called her Baby- Girl. Now he wouldn't need to lift her and she was too old to be treated like a baby. The years between them used to seem like a huge gap, but the age she was at now closed that gap. He still treated her like a baby and she still seemed to appreciate it. "Don't worry about what dad says, do whatever you like doing."

"Hmm," she said, thinking about something that made her smile. "Thanks, I will."

"You know, you and Deana could wear more than a towel when-"

"I know, I know, dad tells us that." She turned and walked to her room. The white terrycloth was at the edge of her bare cheeks, and it embarrassed him that he stared.
