I awoke early, so early that the sky outside the bedroom window was flushed with pale light. Kelly was pressed tightly against me, it was then that I realised that single beds do have their advantages. I lay savoring the feeling of Kelly sleeping in my arms, the warmth of her against, when movement outside my bedroom door caught my attention, in the low light I could just make out the door handle slowly dropping, then the door opened silently and mum half stepped into the room. I pretended to be asleep, to be honest I wanted to see what she would do. She looked over at the bed and watched for about 30 seconds, it was only then that I realised she was nude, she then stepped back out of the room silently closing the door. I was puzzled, then I heard her bedroom door close.
"Weird." I whispered.
"You said it." Kelly said, making me jump.
"Christ Kelly I thought you were asleep!"
"How can I sleep with you moving around, mum creeping about and your cock poking me" she whispered "wonder what that was about?"
"Making sure we're not having rampant sex all hours of the night?" I joked.
"Now that's a nice thought, was it my imagination or was she naked?"
"No, she was nude."
"Do you think she knows?" Kelly was serious.
"I don't know, she must suspect something" I paused as Kelly turned over to face me "what do you think?"
Kelly thought for a couple seconds before she kissed me.
"It's not going to change the way I feel or what I want" she paused "I love you and I want you."
"I love you too."
We lay quietly for a while.
"Kelly, I know I have asked before but what should I do about Debbie?"
"Oh god Al" a long pause "I think you should keep seeing her, she is a great girl and I think she loves you."
I could feel her tense up.
"I'll be as jealous as hell each time you see with her, but I think it will get easier" she continued.
"But I love you, it won't be the same with her. I think I should end it with Debs."
"Don't you dare!" she hissed "I like her and if you keep seeing her it will look normal."
By now all thoughts of sex were gone. "Normal?"
"Yes dummy, like your not having an incestuous affair with your sister!"
"Ahh got you, bit slow aren't I?"
"I'm saying nothing."
I thought for a couple of moments.
"OK, I won't end it with her."
My thoughts were still tumbling in chaos. I felt so comfortable with Kelly. I knew her, I loved her as my sister and even though we had only been lovers for less than a week I knew I wanted her to be more than my sister. Debbie excited me at the start of our relationship and I always thought she was the one I would settle with, but now I didn't feel the same for her. I opened my mouth to speak but Kelly put her hand under my nose, I could smell the evidence of our earlier playing on it.
"What do you smell?" she asked.
"Oh crap, I bet it stinks in here." I replied.
"Oh well" she pulled her hand away "mum will either kill us, try to keep us apart or take no notice."
I had the horrible vision of my life without Kelly, it was strange but it was as if everything was clear, as if caught in a brilliant spot light. Could I live without Kelly?
"Earth to Alan? You still in there?" she asked.
"Sorry Kelly, I was just thinking."
"I said I love you." she kissed my nose.
"I love you too, so very much." I replied.
Kelly turned over and pulled her nighty up to her stomach. I pulled my pajama bottoms down to my knees.
"What do you want to do?" I asked Kelly as she pushed against me.
"I just want to feel you."
We lay together. It was strange to think that a few weeks ago we couldn't even talk without arguing.
"If you get that job would you like to stay over at mine sometimes?" I could feel her breath on my arm.
"Try to stop me!"
"Great, I have plans for the first night."
"Mmmm like what?"
"When it happens you'll find out" she snuggled against me "I will have to read that book."
"Even if I don't get the job, I'll be over."
I kissed the back of her neck and settled against her.
The next thing I knew was the bedroom door flying open and Tasha arrived on the bed.
"Wake up sleepy heads, breakfast time!" she yelled next to my ear.
I was confused in front of me was the wall, I must have turned over in the night. After getting Tasha calmed down we all trooped downstairs for breakfast. Over cereal and coffee we talked about our plans for the day.
"I looked in on you two last night." I froze when mum said this.
"I thought I had dreamt that." Kelly replied instantly.
"I just wanted to make sure that you were, you know OK?"
The question hung there, I didn't want to answer it, I couldn't answer it!
"Yes, I was OK if you like getting half throttled by a lump." Kelly replied.
"Who you calling a lump, fidget?"
It was my turn to reply quickly. Kelly put on her angry face and was about to reply.
"Don't start!" mum pointed at us "I don't know what has changed between you two, but its much better than the way you were, don't fall out" she glared at us still pointing "So say sorry to each other, now!"
Kelly looked at me.
"Sorry Al."
"Sorry Kelly, but you are a fidget in the nicest possible way."
I kissed her, very brotherly I hoped, on the cheek.
"That's better, please keep it that way."
"Sorry mum." I said.
