"Looking good!" I cried as Lisa walked by my room in nothing but a towel.
"Thanks little brother," my sister smiled, pausing at the door. She was blond and beautiful.
"Are you in a rush?" I asked, trying to sound innocent.
"Yes, so don't even think about it!" she snapped, not buying it for a moment. She knew what I wanted. I grinned and shrugged. Lisa smiled at my reaction, shook her head and then added, "Truthfully, I wish I did have the time, but it's my week to oversee the early morning workouts in the weight room."
"Life of a gym teacher," I teased.
"Tell me about it," she sighed.
"Please!" I snorted. "You love your job."
"It's okay," my sister replied.
"Come on," I teased. "How does it feel to know that you're every teenage boys' fantasy?"
"What?" she asked.
"Lisa, you teach gym in high school," I explained. "No only that, but you're beautiful. You're the hot gym teacher every boy thinks about late at night when he's alone in his bed."
"Oh joy," my sister said sarcastically. "That's a picture I could do without." I couldn't help it. I laughed.
"You love it!" I teased. She shook her head again and didn't bother arguing.
"Brian, make sure to wake mom up on time," my sister said, changing the subject. "She's got her third interview today."
"I know," I smiled. "Did you see how nervous she was last night?"
"She has a right to be," Lisa replied. "This job is perfect for her."
"She deserves it," I smiled. "I can't believe how quickly it's moving."
"It was pretty cool when she got a call from her old company's biggest competitor the Monday morning after she quit," Lisa said.
"Yeah," I smiled. "She'll do fine."
"Fine? Mom?" Lisa frowned. "She'll do great!"
"True," I laughed. "I just wish she didn't have to fly across the country and spend three days at their corporate office."
"Don't worry little brother," my sister smiled. "Mom will be home before you know it with a new job and a smile on her face. Besides, I'm still here. I'll take care of you."
"That's what I'm afraid of!" I cried. "You can't cook and your cleaning leaves something to be desired."
"Jerk!" Lisa laughed.
"On the other hand, there are some things you do very well," I said, smiling slowly.
"Not if you keep being so mean to me," my sister said pointedly and moved past my doorway.
I smiled contently. It was only two weeks since mom quit her job and everything changed so drastically at home. We were all happier now. I wasn't sure it could last and mom kept bringing up the fact that it couldn't, but right now I was enjoying myself immensely.
I heard my sister leave the bathroom and go into her bedroom. She was done there surprisingly fast. Lisa was one of those morning people. Ugh!
"I'm leaving little brother," she said as she stopped by my doorway on the way out. "Go wake mom up."
"Can't you do it?" I asked, far too comfortably to move.
"Yes," she said. "But mom needs something to help relieve her anxiety about the interview and you're it."
"Are you crazy?" I laughed. "She'll be wired! If I try and go near her..."
"That's the point," my sister interjected. "Do what you always do and don't give her a choice. She'll thank you afterward."
"You could do it," I offered hopefully.
"No I can't," my sister said. "First, I don't have the time."
"And second, you're still not ready," I sighed, reading her expression. "I get it."
"The thought of mom and me together must really turn you on," Lisa said, looking at me thoughtfully. "You bring it up all the time."
"Hmm," I said. "Let me think? My mother and sister in bed together. Two beautiful women driving each other crazy. Would that really turn me on? You bet!"
"Pervert!" my sister laughed.
"Takes one to know one!" I called as she disappeared down the hall. I heard her leave a few minutes later. "I guess I should wake mom."
The trip to her room was short. I didn't bother putting any clothes on. I opened the door and saw mom sleeping in her bed. The sight made me smile.
Instead of shaking mom awake, I climbed into bed next to her and pulled her into my arms. Mom didn't wake up at first. She snuggled closer instead. I hugged her tight and then kissed her gently.
"Now that's the way to wake up," she moaned, returning my kiss.
