Sadie stood from her chair and carried the empty plate and glass into the kitchen. There were a few salty chips still on the plate, and a drop of orange juice in the cup. 3pm in the afternoon was as good a time as any for a snack, though she knew dinner wasn't far away.
Skipping lunch was unplanned. Her best and oldest friend Vivi picked her up to go shopping that morning and they stayed out until just a half hour ago. Sadie loved her friend, and never said no to hanging out.
Sadie's bare feet shuffled through the open living room past white sofas and chairs, across the mint colored rug. The girl was 20, slender, with bouncy dirty blonde hair in a ponytail.
Despite being the shortest in the house, she still walked confident, self-assured. She trod through to the kitchen and placed the plate and cup into the sink. In leaning against the counter, the front of her shirt soaked up the water that sat on the edge. She cursed. "Fucking sink! Every time."
The wet patch of the brand new ruffled-bottom white shirt she bought not two hours ago repeatedly touched near her belly button. Her hand slipped up underneath it to shield herself from the cold of it. Her pinky finger lay on the fabric of the thin, tight black comfy pants she wore.
"Hey you," her mother Grace said, padding through the kitchen towards the sink. "Got yourself all wet again?" she asked, side-eyeing the wet patch of fabric as she went by.
"Yes.." Sadie replied disappointedly. Her mother reached down and took one of the leftover salty chips and crunched into it, absent-mindedly leaning with her back against the counter to look down at her daughter's wet shirt.
"That's a big spot," Grace said through a grimace, "this sink needs to go..OH!" the older woman exclaimed, holding her back as if she'd pulled a muscle. "Damn it," she said, smiling at Sadie and beginning to laugh. "This stupid sink!" They both smiled and laughed together, Grace yelped again as her cold black tshirt touched the small of her back. She turned, facing away from her daughter.
"Is it bad??" she asked. Grace's soft white shorts highlighted the woman's athletic build. She'd been out of recreational soccer for about three years from an injury, so a little marbling of fat caused her legs to wobble playfully.
"Dude, mom, you got like way less than I did." They stood for a moment comparing the sizes of the water marks and laughing, Sadie jutting her hips forward and pulling her shirt lower, and Grace attempting to pull her shirt's wet spot to the front.
"Hey, I just noticed, new shirt?" Grace mused, turning and fingering the fabric below where it was wet. "Yeah, there's a tank top too, I just wanted to try this one on first." Sadie reached over and tugged at the bottom of her mom's shirt to help keep the cold water away from her skin.
"Oh thank you.." her mom said, leaning her head back in relief. Both women had the same blonde hair tied up in a ponytail, perhaps an unconscious decision on Sadie's part that showed her love and admiration for her mom. "We should probably change. Will you show me the other shirt, hun?" Grace asked.
The black shirt held firm against the front of the taller woman's body wasn't uncomfortable, at least the front wasn't wet, but definitely made the woman feel exposed in some kind of way. Her midriff was showing, the light but firm tugging felt good.
"Yeah, for sure," Sadie answered, "after you." Grace nodded and walked from the kitchen with her daughter holding on to her shirt in tail, leaving them wondering if one was leading the other.
After traversing the living room, in front of the stairs, Sadie pulled hard on her mother's shirt and let it snap forward so it stuck to the woman's back, throwing a cold shock up her spine. "AH!!", she yelled, and spun around smiling vengefully. "Get up those stairs, you little stinker!" Grace smacked Sadie's butt as she passed by, and Sadie began to laugh and run up the stairs, cackling maniacally before reaching the top. "Ahh.." Grace sighed uncomfortably, trying once again to pull the wet side of her shirt to the front.
At the top of the stairs to the right was Sadie's room. She walked in and pushed the door, it didn't fully close behind her. She tore off the white shirt, throwing it on top of her dirty clothes basket, and took a step towards the shopping bag on the floor by her closet. A light gray tank top with the tag still on it came out and she pulled it on. Her small breasts jiggled as she struggled with it.
At the end of the hall, Grace's shirt got torn off just as she crossed the threshold of her room. She left the door open, as her closet was secluded in a separate alcove to the left.
One wouldn't realize that a person needs significant upper body strength to play soccer, but it helps to transfer energy from the swinging arms and torso to the legs while running. And that is why, after she pulled off the shirt, Grace's arm muscles tweaked while rummaging around in a fabric basket for a nice dry shirt to put on.
Finally she found a low cut, thin maroon t-shirt with three small buttons at the front and slipped it on. It was tight against her skin, and easily let her body move underneath it. She left one of the buttons undone, liking to not be too buttoned up.
"Alright you, show me this other shirt." Grace said as she lightly knocked while tentatively opening the door to Sadie's room. She craned her neck to see if it was ok to enter.
"Come in," Sadie said, turning away from her mirror on her toes and sunk back down onto her heels, holding her arms out to show off the new gray top. The water from the kitchen left her a little colder, and the air conditioning was working hard on the top floor, so her nipples poked at the fabric.
"This is for just around the house, or if it's like rainy and I want to be lazy that day. It's cotton and feels really nice on my skin." Her fingers ran over the shirt where the wet spot had been on her other shirt. Grace strode up and ran her fingers over the fabric too, from Sadie's shoulder blade to the bottom of the shirt.
