AROUSING DESIRES

Episode 2

****
"Let me go!!! Don't touch me! Let me go!! No!!!"
****
"Miss...miss?"
Virginia suddenly jolted awake, and stared at the hostess...
"Yes?" She breathed,panting heavily..
It was just another nightmare..
"The flight has landed.. All the passengers has alighted so I..."
"Oh umm I'm sorry" she apologised,getting up and making her way out....
She strolled into the terminal,dragging her suitcases along,darting her eyes about,searching for her name on a placard or paper,or cardboard .
Whatever... All she wanted was to find her name else she will be left stranded and homeless on the streets of Los Angeles,at the mercy of bandits...
Virginia sighed in relief when she spotted a tall, dark,slender woman waving and walking towards her,and a paper that had her name scribbled in capital letters in her hand..
"Welcome to America baby" she grinned,hugging Virginia...
Her voice was laced with thick American accent, ate observed....
"Aunt?"
"That's me baby"
"But you look..." She trailed off,allowing her eyes roam the woman standing before her..
She sure didn't look anything close to her age...
"Where you expecting an old,frail looking woman?" She teased
"Umm no.. No offense but anyone could easily mistake you for my elder sister"
The woman blushed "hmm.. Why don't we go home first and then I can let you on my secret okay?"
Virginia nodded and followed her Aunt as they exited the terminal to catch a cab....
****
As they walked towards the numerous taxi's that were parked, they noticed several people,most of which were women screaming and squealing...
"What's with the commotion?" Virginia asked no one in particular...
Her aunt frowned"I have no idea" she scanned the area,searching for the source of the commotion and then  she saw it...
The black limousine parked a few metres away from then.. At a distance was a young man exiting another terminal,four men dressed in three piece suits,surrounding him as he walked towards the limousine,his head ducked down avoiding the bevy of ladies screaming.....
Alice squealed excitedly like a child when she recognised him...
"Oh my god! Oh my God!! That's Kevin Bloom!!!"
Virginia turned to her frowning..
"Aunt?"
"He looks much more  hotter when he isn't on screen.. Don't you think Virginia?"
She rolled her eyes "i don't know... Can we go Aunt please?"
"Oh you're no fun at all... Come on let's go" she motioned towards one of the cabs...
As they walked further, Virginia couldn't help but notice Alice stealing glances as the do called Kevin, and blushing occasionally...
She shook her head as she slipped into the car...
Wasn't her Aunt supposed to be married?
Crushing on some guy....
What's so special about him anyway...
She pushed the thoughts out of her head as she tucked her head slightly out the window, enjoying the breeze of the new environment and admiring the city view...
*****
She walked behind Alice into the beautifully furnished room,her eyes meeting two pair of eyes...
"Brandon,Ella,she's your cousin.... Virginia" Alice introduced...
"Shit!!" Brandon exclaimed...
Alice glared at him...
"Language Brandon... Language"
"Sorry mom... I didn't expect her to be so beautiful... My God!!! Just look at that.. Such a Shame you're my cousin" he grinned eyeing Virginia hungrily.
Ella who was seated near him,slapped the side of his head..
He groaned "what was that for squirrel?!"
"Can't you be nice for a minute? We have a guest.. And don't call me squirrel?" She bellowed...
"I was appreciating her beauty"
Alice stared at her children and groaned in frustration..
"Can you continue your banter later? We have a guest to take care of"
"Oh yeah.. My bad..."Ella stood up from her seat,pulling her brother along as they walked towards Virginia who was desperately trying to hide a smile...
" sorry for the show... Welcome Virginia"
"Welcome sweet cousin..I'm always at your service..if you need anything, I mean anything,I'm just a call away" Brandon added,taking her hand in his and kissing her knuckles lightly..
She giggled "thank you for your hospitality..  I appreciate it a lot"
"Mention not beautiful" he winked
"Oh go away..you Pervert!!" Ella nudged him away,grabbing Virginia's ark and dragging her upstairs to her room..
"I'll come and pick you up tomorrow for a tour around the city!" Brandon shouted after them....
He turned to walk out when he spotted his mother glaring at him...
"What mom? Why that look? Its not my fault she turned out so beautiful... I wish she was never my cousin" he grunted and stormed out...
Alice chuckled and turned towards the kitchen....
******
THE NEXT MORNING..
Virginia yawned for the thousand time as she rummaged through her clothes,searching for her towel and pomade...
After finding it and sprawling some clothes on the bed,she made towards towards e bathroom....
*****
Getting under the shower,she turned t on and let the cold water wash over her skin as she lathered some soap into her sponge...
Suddenly,the bathroom door burst open and Ella strolled inside with a toothbrush in her mouth...
Virginia shrieked in fright and quickly covered her breath with one hand and her lower part with the other...
Ella grinned,spat out the toothpaste into the sink and rinsed her mouth..
"Chill its just me...." She stated and began to undress...
Virgina's eyes grew big,almost bulging out if its sockets...
"Wh...what are you doing?"
"I want to take my bath.. I'm late for classes"
"Now? Here? Together?"
"Of course... Since your room isn't ready yet,we have to share mine" she shrugged nonchalantly...
No,no,no.... No one can see her naked...
What if... What if...
She shook her head....
No...
She isn't ready to be questioned about the huge scar on her private part... Including her missing clit..
No...
She shut her eyes, recalling how she was brutally injured after that incident...
She remembered how the doctors had to stitch her private part up because while she was squirming and throwing her legs frantically about, the broken glass being used to circumcise her had cut into the upper flesh of her womanhood,leaving an ugly scar....
She shook her head...
"We can't bath together!" She blurted out making Ella stop in her tracks before she could enter the shower.
"I'm not a lesbian you know"
"I..." She swallowed..
What excuse was she going to give?
She was extremely ashamed of her body and she wasn't ready to let anyone see her vulnerability..
"I didn't mean it that way..I...well...red flag.. Yes red flag!"
Ella frowned "red flag?"
"Yes... I..uhhh...I'm on my period..and it will be uncomfortable for you to see my blood and all"
"Ohhh.. I see.. Okay then.... But make it fast okay else I will be late" she turned around,without bothering to cover up...
"Ella? Do you have to walk around naked like that? Cover up.. At least until I'm done"
She chuckled "what are you? Twelve? Ten? We are both girls.. There's nothing you have that I don't unless of course,you have two sex organs" she dropped her gaze to her lower part and Virginia quickly covered it with her hand...
"I was only joking" she chuckled more before walking out.
Virginia sighed in relief as she stepped back under the shower....
She managed to escape today.. What about tomorrow or the day after or the next?
****
"Hola family....." Brandon chirped as he walked into the room,joining them at the dinning table..
"Good morning brother" Ella greeted as she buttered her bread
"Good morning beautiful" Brandon greeted more to Virginia than to his sister..
"Good morning" she smiled
"The best way to start a great day is by hearing a sweet melodious voice as yours" he winked making her giggle....
"Will you stop flirting with your cousin Brandon?" Alice spoke up...
"Yeah... " Ella added
"Okay... Lecture me later.. Are you ready for your tour around Los Angeles beautiful?"
"Virginia?!!! Virginia is her name not beautiful!!" Ella groaned
"Jealous much?" He turned to her "you ready?"
"Yes but I'm not done eating"
"Never mind.. I'll buy you anything on the way" he dragged her outside into his car..
****
"That's so beautiful.. Wow!!" Virginia exclaimed again, pointing to everything she found fascinating,squealing like a child....
"You haven't seen anything yet" Brandon grinned as she pulled her head out the window, stretching her hand to touch a sculpture they were driving past making her knee length dress draw back exposing her thighs in the process.
Brandon gulped hard and then brought the car to a halt, a sudden feeling washing over him..
"Why did you stop the car?" Virginia turned to him.
He wasn't listening... He was staring at her exposed thighs...
Realising where his gaze was,she quickly pulled back her dress down, clamping her thighs together.
"You're beautiful" he whispered before moving from his seat towards where she sat beside him....
"Why did you stop?"
He didn't reply.... Instead he inched closer until their faces were close.. So close that he could feel her breath on his cheeks...
He shut his eyes,inhaling her scent...
"I want to make you mine" his voice was rough, edgy and lust filled...
"Don't do this Brandon please... We are related.... Don't... I'm begging you" she pleaded,tears beginning to well in her eyes..
In a quick motion,she felt him push her dress upwards, his hands pushing into her underwear to find her panty.
"No!!!"She cried out backing away....
" Brandon don't!!! Please" she backed away more but she only ended getting trapped in between the car seat and his body...
*****
Brandon buried his head in the crook of her neck and began to kiss it hungrily,groaning. He let his hands roam her breasts,his erection rubbing on her private part...
"Don't hurt me please" she whimpered,feeling powerless against strong,broad frame..
"Don't hurt me please"
The words rang in his head and he immediately jumped away from her like she was fire, crushing back into the driver's seat....
"Shit!! Shit shit shit!!!!" He cussed repeatedly running his fingers through his locks,regretting his actions..
"Damn it!!"
He had let lust filled him  so much that he had almost raped his cousin...
His cousin....
He had even touched her private part..
"God I'm so sorry Virginia.. I don't know what came over me.. Shit!! I'm truly sorry... I..." Before he could finish,she pushed the door open and run out,running like her life depended on it.
"Virginia wait please... You will get lost... I'm sorry wait!!!" Brandon yelled, alighting from the car and running after her....
****
She had no idea where she was going or how she was going to survive without shelter,money or clothes but at that very moment, only one thing kept ringing in her head.
Run!!!!
And she did exactly that,because she run like she had never done before..
She run like her entire existence depended on it....
Every corner,every street,every building that she passed by felt alien to her and she knew she was definitely going to get lost in such a big city especially when she was travelling for the first time...
What a great way to start a new life in a different country and in an entirely different city...
She lamented as she sat down on a pavement, hot tears streaming down her cheeks....
Maybe it was a mistake leave her home... Maybe she had to GI back..
But then again? Her passport, money and belongings were in her aunts house...
"Dear Lord, what do I do now? Where do I go!" She cried into the palms,recalling the incident with Brandon....
****
"I'm not going to ask you again.. I said where is Virginia? What the hell did you do to her!!!!!" Alice screamed at her  son who stood transfixed to the floor...
"Mom.. I'm sorry... I didn't mean it.. She run"
"Tell me or I kill you" she warned through gritted teeth..
There and then,Brandon knew if he didn't spill it now, he was going to be a dead meat..
"I almost... I almost raped her mom.. I'm sorry" he whispered hoping she didn't hear but she did..
