Pete
*Still to himself ... * I'm also glad it's Friday ... One good point of project management is that I have more weekends to actually rest and enjoy ... But I don't find it as exciting or fun as my normal work ... And I miss seeing my old team mates and the comradiarre of supporting friends ... All the work has been a challenge ... I suppose that means I am growing in a different direction ... I'll convince myself that that should be good for me long term ... I think I'll be able to sleep all the way through the weekend until Monday arrives again. 💤😴💤😴💤📽️

Pete's older sister (Elsa) is at the front door carrying something massive and heavy looking ... To Pete - it kinda looks like a rolled up rug.
Pete and Elsa greet each other in a friendly way.
Pete
Pete
Hi Els ... 👋🤗👋🤗👋 ❓❓❓❓❓ How was your week? I wasn't expecting you today... What are you doing here? What are you holding? It's massive!!! And looks very heavy!!! What is it??? What have you done that you need to hide at my house??? ❓❓❓❓❓
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
*Smiling Brightly and Excitedly at her favourite little brother* 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 Hi to you too Petie Pete! I'm also happy to see you. Baby Brother! You're such an air-head! You've forgotten your own birthday.
Pete
Pete
*Knocking himself gently in the head ... Feeling a bit embarrassed with himself ... 🐑 🐏 🐑 🐏 🐑 *
Pete
Pete
My birthday???
Pete
Pete
Is that today???
Pete
Pete
Whoops ... Yep... I must have forgotten my own birthday.
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
*Looking at Pete with excitement and full of sarcasm ...* Happy birthday to you!!! Nah ... Something this massive and brilliant is as light as a feather ... Yes it's heavy ... Come help me carry it in!!! This gift is so huge. I couldn't carry anything but the present ... But, Mumma wants me to give you all the birthday party stuff in the families absence as their rep ... So, I have ordered you a cake to get delivered.
Pete
Pete
*Helping Elsa carry the massive extremely heavy rug into his apartment and telling her ... * I don't have any food til I shop tomorrow, so we'll have to order dinner in any way. As the family rep - please make sure that none of the food you order kills or poisons me. Was our family rep self-appointed? How else does the most annoying member become the representative?
Elsa and Pete lean the rug looking present against the wall. Elsa moves towards the lounge chair and sits down. Meanwhile, Pete gets Elsa and himself a glass of water and brings them to the coffee table in front of the lounge chair. Then Pete sits down next to Elsa.
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
I'll order dinner then. From the Thai Restaurant Mumma used last time she was here ? I have already organized your birthday cake to be delivered later. A special person needs extra special consideration and time to make an amazing mango birthday cakes ... It looked amazing when I ordered it. I can't wait to taste it tonight ...
Pete
Pete
*Teasing sarcastically again ...* Between you and Mumma ... Do I have any say in what gets ordered for me on my birthday? No wonder I forget it every year 🤣🤣🤣 On a different note ... I only have water ... So, if you'd like wine or something else can you please order that too?
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
*Ordering food and alcohol on her mobile ... Teasing Pete affectionately with a similar sarcasm ...* Nope! No say at all... Big sisters know best ... Even if we don't know best ... It is the responsibility of the oldest sibling to be the biggest boss! Similarly, it's the fate of the baby to put up with it ... You have all of this lifetime to get used to it ...
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
Mumma has also instructed me at length not to poison you this year ... So ... You should be relatively safe ...
Pete
Pete
*Looking at the rolled up rug hoping Elsa hasn't really bought him a rug for his birthday.*
Pete
Pete
(I have to act like I love it even if I don't. Elsa and I are so different. If she likes something - I probably won't...)
Pete
Pete
Thanks Els ... You've promised u won't poison me... I'll trust you to order what Mumma can eat ...
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
*Puts mobile on coffee table*
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
Order is all done. 👍
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
How are you Pete? I haven't seen you since last weekend.
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
I'm guessing that for you to forget your own birthday you must be pretty stressed out.
Pete
Pete
(Still looking at the rug wondering what it is? Its seemed too heavy to be a rug ... But - it is a rug? I dont know what Elsa is up to again ...)
Pete
Pete
I'm ok Els. You know we can exist happily without weekly contact ... Works really busy at the moment because we're trying to finalize an important project.
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
(noticing Pete looking at the rug)
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
I'm really excited about your birthday present. So I am choosing to ignore your rude remark ...
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
This is THE BEST gift I have ever given you!
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
Do you want to try guessing what it is?
Pete
Pete
*Trying to act excited because he doesn't want to let his sister down... *
Pete
Pete
I love presents
Pete
Pete
You Always choose interesting ones ...
Pete
Pete
You know you'll force me to pretend to love it ... Regardless of my actual feelings ...
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
Repeating that I am ignoring your mean banter ... You can give it to Mumma if u don't end up liking it.
Pete
Pete
I'm going to try guess that it might be a rug?
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
*Laughing 🤣*
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
Nah - It's not a rug. The rug isn't actually your present. I just used it to package your present so I could deliver your gift.
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
... I don't actually need the rug back - you can keep it if you like it.
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
Any other guesses what I might roll up in a rug for my favourite brother?
Pete
Pete
(OMG - I'm so relieved it's not a rug)
Pete
Pete
Hhhhmmmm - Now I'm stumped.
Pete
Pete
... I really have no idea.
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
*Still laughing and watching Pete watch the rug* What can you roll-up in a rug?
Pete
Pete
I really don't know. Could it be a ....
Pete
Pete
Nup - I give up
Pete
Pete
I don't know.
Pete
Pete
I can't guess?
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
Well.... Clue time ... It's your birthday present from me!
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
So you can open it whenever you want
Pete stands up from the couch and walks towards the rug holding his birthday present.
Pete
Pete
(Hmmmm - Now I'm really curious.)
Pete
Pete
Els - I love presents. I wonder what it is?

The BEST Birthday Gift EVER!

Elsa is still sitting on couch.
Pete moves to the rug leaning against the wall
Pete
Pete
Elsa - I'm so curious now
Pete
Pete
Come help me move it to the coffee table ... So, I can open it
Elsa gets up and helps Pete move it. Then sits back down again.
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
Sure- I really hope you like it
Pete
Pete
Pete starts unraveling the rug. Eventually he's able to take the rug off. Too interested in unwrapping his gift - He throws the rug behind the couch to clean up later.
On the table is a life-sized AI robot that looks like an adult version of the person he used to have a crush on during High School.
.... completely naked.
Pete is instantly attracted to looking at it. He crushed on this guy for over 3 years during HS. Pete's testosterone filled fantasies from his teenage years that had been passively sleeping suddenly woke-up in his mind.
Pete
Pete
*biting his lip - unable to look away*
Pete
Pete
*unable to say anything because he can't think while he can't control his crush-filled fantasies playing in his mind like a film reel*
Pete
Pete
*still biting his lip while his face takes on more of a seductive pout*
Pete
Pete
*still thinking - looking - biting - pouting*
Pete
Pete
(Damn! He is perfectly hot. Those god-like abs are on fire.. He's here in front of me ....)
Pete
Pete
(Before Pete could take control, precious memories of every interaction that Pete remembered having with crush began playing in his mind)
Pete
Pete
(Fuck!)
Pete
Pete
(I WANT TO TOUCH)
Pete
Pete
*unconsciously licking his lips suggestively - still unable to look away*
Pete
Pete
*so excited - something went up and pressed hard against his pants*
Pete
Pete
(When Elsa goes - I'm going to slowly trace every mm of his body with my fingers)
Pete
Pete
... (and then I'm going to do it all over again with my tongue)
Pete
Pete
...(and then I'm going to kiss...)
Pete
Pete
(Oh shit ... Elsa is still here ... and, I'm rock hard. I've got to get my mind out of its sex-filled thoughts until she leaves. I still need to eat dinner and a cake with her)
Pete
Pete
Wow! Elsa -?? Umm? Not too sure what this is right now?
Pete
Pete
Why exactly do I have a life-sized version of our favourite high school captain for my birthday present?
Pete
Pete
(Our favourite school captain was always a thorn between Els and I. Els had seen him first and liked him ... But, after meeting him, I also fell deeply in love with him. When Els learned that he liked me and not her ... She was deeply wounded and hated me ... Her revenge was too cruel though ... It changed our relationship completely ... And left emotional scars that will never heal. After her revenge - I didn't talk to her in high school and I wasn't able to trust anyone for a very long time. One of the very few people I trusted was our school captain ... The memories of our shared time is the most precious moments in my life... I hadn't meant to lose contact with him after school ... But life takes over and continues marching forwards ... And it very cruelly separated us ... I still miss him with all my heart )
Pete
Pete
... (Its curious that Elsa is gifting me something that looks like something that still upsets her... I hope shes not being cruel again ...)
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
*talking in a very excited tone as she boasts positively about her latest work product*
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
It's the latest AI product that is being made at the company I work for.
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
It's now in the beta testing phase ... So, all the people from the company are asked to take them home and trial them.
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
Basically we are doing quality control.
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
The aim is to check for any defects, glitches, problems with programming etc etc. so that we can identify any problems and fix them before the product enters its final commercial stage and gets sold to real customers.
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
I have to do it for work but when they asked if I knew anyone else who could help us test it - I thought it would be perfect for you for your birthday gift.
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
It can be programmed to do most household tasks which would mean you have to spend less time on cleaning around the house.
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
It also has access to the internet, so it can help with all questions that AI normally gets asked. So it can answer questions about weather, news, song lyrics and all the latest AI developments.
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
It is definitely capable of reminding Air-Headed people that it is their birthday.
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
Happy Birthday, Little Brother
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
So, Do you like it?
Pete
Pete
*Truly very excited now*
Pete
Pete
(This is actually THE BEST gift. I am so excited.)
Pete
Pete
(1. It's his crush)
Pete
Pete
(2. It's the latest AI robot)
Pete
Pete
(3. It's his crush lying naked)
Pete
Pete
(4. It's his crush ... A black hole lives in Pete's heart where his crush used to fill.... Pete misses him ...)
Pete
Pete
*still unconsciously moving between biting his lip, licking his lips and trying to hide his c**k has gone hard from his sister*
Pete
Pete
Thanks Elsa
Pete
Pete
This is really a great present.
Pete
Pete
I love it
Pete
Pete
Why does it look like your crush from High School?
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
I was the designer for it. That was my job on the project and also why we get to be testers for it.
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
I've set mine up at home but there are instructions here. Do you want me to help set it up.
Pete
Pete
Sure - that would be great.
Pete
Pete
*Pete reaches out to touch the robot to try to help Elsa set it up but when his fingers touch the naked body his thoughts go into over drive again and it has become too difficult for him to resist letting out a moan*
Pete
Pete
Actually Els, I only just got home from work before you arrived and haven't showered yet. Can you begin setting it up, and I'll help when I am out of the shower?
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
Of course.
Elsa finds the instructions and begins setting up the robot while Pete retreats into the bathroom. Remembering Elsa is still here- he locks the door and turns music on on his phone.
Alone in the bathroom Pete is having de ja vu from his high school days when he used to live with his family and needed to move stealthily into his room or the bathroom if his unruly teenage thoughts got too much for him, and he needed to be alone.
With the image of his crushes face and the feel when he touched the naked body still fresh in his mind; he let his mind wander into whatever fantasy it wanted.
Pete's dreaming...
Flynnie Bot (AI Flynn)
Flynnie Bot (AI Flynn)
(Seductive tone while slowly looking Pete up and down like he wants to do something very naughty.) Pete - Baby - You're all grown up!
Flynnie Bot (AI Flynn)

*moans pleasurably as he lets his dream take over*
Pete
Pete
*Unconsciously bites his index finger before letting it explore his lips.*
Pete

(I wonder if Flynn's lips feel this wet and soft)
Pete
Pete

Flynnie Bot (AI Flynn)

Flynnie Bot (AI Flynn)

Pete
Pete
*unbuttons his shirt and lets it fall open while he watches Flynn get all hot and bothered.*
Flynnie Bot (AI Flynn)
Flynnie Bot (AI Flynn)
*His left hand continues to trace down his body a mirror image as to what Pete's does as Pete unbuttons his shirt*
Flynnie Bot (AI Flynn)
Flynnie Bot (AI Flynn)

Pete
Pete
*takes his shirt off and obediently jumps in the shower*

Task 1: Towel Delivery

Pete shower cont...
The warm blast of water on Pete's body woke him up from his illusion. After a while he began to relax. After a time he calmed himself down and was sure he could control his urges and was ready to face Elsa and his new toy.
Pete
Pete
*looking around for his towel*
Pete
Pete
*unlocking bathroom door and opening slightly*
Pete
Pete
(shouting so Elsa can hear) Elsa - I forgot my towel. Can you please bring me one.
Big Sis (Elsa)
Big Sis (Elsa)
Yep. I wanna try something new. I'll send it in soon.
Pete
Pete
*Pete continues his shower while waiting for his towel*
After a minute or two Pete looks up when he hears the sound of the bathroom door opening and closing.
The image in front of him was heaven sent to tease him again. The fire that had been washed away in the shower raged even hotter in his body again.
Flynnie Bot (AI Flynn)
Flynnie Bot (AI Flynn)
