Chapter 13

Carter

I can’t find a decent shirt or tie for our date. This is not a good sign. Digging through the walk-in closet in my bedroom, I search for the perfect outfit for my date with Sydney and come up empty handed. She will look nothing short of spectacular. That much I already know without seeing her. Sydney could turn heads in a burlap sack.

On the other hand, I am a giant oaf who has no clue how to dress. Most of the year, I spend in sweatpants, t-shirts, and hockey gear. And I can’t even remember the last time I went on an actual date that wasn’t for the sole purpose of sex. Don’t get me wrong, the night will end in sex, but I actually want to impress Sydney before I claim her pussy, make her mine.

“How have you made it twenty-six years without learning how to dress yourself, baby bro?” Jenny stands in the doorway of my closet, shaking her head. “You’re kind of a mess. You know that?”

My hands tremble as I search through drawers and shelves, hoping something will jump out and hit me on the head and say, Wear this, dummy.

“I made it just fine on my own, thank you very much,” I deadpan. “Do you know how often I have to get dressed up?”

“You have dinners and functions you attend for hockey, and you wear suits for games. I don’t see how this is any different.” She steps into the closet with me and takes the tie from my hands. “First of all, this color does not match the shirt you have on, and second, you look like a hot mess. Your pants are full of wrinkles. Were you rolling around on the floor in them, or did you find them in a pile of dirty clothes?” She holds out her other hand, frowning. “Take them off, and let me iron them for you.”

“No.” I step back from her. “I’m not taking off my pants in front of you, Jenny.”

“Carter, it’s just me, your big sis, the same girl who dressed and fed you for most of your life. Stop being such a weirdo. I have seen you in your boxers a thousand times. It’s nothing I haven’t seen before.”

Even around my own sister, I have body issues I cannot shake. Despite my current conditioning and muscular physique, the same fat kid mentality lingers, always there in the back of my mind. I will probably be somewhat self-conscious for the rest of my life. It’s not something I have ever grown out of as an adult.

As an overweight child, kids picked on me throughout most of school. I never had many friends because of it. Trusting people is hard for me, which is why I have trouble with letting Sydney into my life. But I want to change for her.

If she can drop her high and mighty act and show me the real Sydney, we can make this work. I see a lot of myself in her sometimes.
