I met Jane in kindergarten. As little kids are wont to do, we became best friends practically overnight. We grew up together, having everything to do in each other's lives. We played the same sports, liked the same movies, hated the same classes. It's really no wonder our mothers had been planning our wedding since we were six. But Jane and I had never had that kind of relationship. As close as we were, we never felt romantically connected, and although she blossomed into a beautiful young woman and I wasn't too hard on the eyes myself, there wasn't really any sexual tension in our relationship either.
Jane's sister Cassie on the other hand, was a different story. She was four years younger than us, so she grew up with me always as a part of her life, albeit as a sort of extension of Jane. Cassie had had a crush on me from the moment she discovered what boys were and it was not difficult to tell at all. I always just ignored her crush, considering the age gap, but if I had let myself pay attention, I might have actually noticed she also developed into a beautiful young woman. She was, in fact, even more beautiful than her sister.
They were both a good bit shorter than me, the top of Jane's head coming up to my lips, and Cassie's to my chin. They had the same color blonde hair, although Jane's was wavy and never grew past her shoulders while Cassie's was straight and descended to somewhere around her shoulder blades, depending on when she had cut it last. They both had blue eyes but it was hard to say they were the same color. Jane's eyes were dark, like the sea during a storm, while Cassie's eyes had the light color of the sky on the clearest day. They were both slim, but in different ways. Jane's body was athletically toned, her waist was shallow, and her breasts and ass were the same size, just big enough to wrap your hand around. Cassie had a deeper waist, the kind that was just made to have hands placed on it, and her breasts were slightly bigger than her sister's, although they had the same ass.
Unsurprisingly, Jane and I attended the same college, staying as close as we ever were. We graduated Purdue four years later with Bachelor degrees in engineering, mine in mechanical, hers in architectural. After we graduated, she stayed in her off-campus apartment for a while to finish out an internship, while I came straight home. I wanted to enjoy my summer before I returned to start working on my Master's.
Once home, the first thing I did was pass out for 18 straight hours. It was already 1 in the afternoon by the time I woke up, and my welcome home party was already well under way. Everyone was so happy to see me, as if I'd been dead this whole time. There were more hands shaken than faces recognized, but it didn't matter. Everyone I cared about and then some (save Jane) was here having a good time. I don't think I stopped smiling all day.
After about two days, everyone abruptly stopped caring I was home. Not that I minded, I was about partied out myself. And it gave me time to spend actual time with people, not a couple minutes at a party catching up. It was during that next week or so that I actually bothered to take notice of Cassie. I used to spend a good deal of time with her back in the day, but always with Jane. It was nice to talk to just her. For the first time, I actually sat up and noticed how her eyes were a different shade than Jane's, that her hair, though much straighter, still had the slightest of wobble to it. I also took some time to discreetly admire the gorgeous rack that had seemed to sprout overnight. Funny what happens when you stop seeing 'little sister" and just see "cute girl."
We talked about her senior year and where she planned to go to college. I was surprised to find out she was also going to go to Purdue, although she was going to study nursing. As it turns out, Cassie actually did have a personality, and an amazing one at that. Who knew? Her crush was also still apparent, and after talking for a good two and a half hours and way overstaying our welcome in the chili joint we were in, I invited her back to my place. I had it to myself for the rest of the day, since my dad had left after my party for a job out of town and mom worked late. I didn't mention any of that, or that I was secretly hoping to cash in on that years long crush of hers.
The door was barely closed behind me when she flung herself into my arms and kissed me. She caught me completely off guard, and because of the height difference, she quickly fell back to the floor away from my lips. We stood there for a minute, me totally stunned at her very sudden forwardness and her absolutely embarrassed by it. Her face was bright red and she looked straight down. It was so adorable.
"I just wanted to do that once," she said quietly, "just for once in my life to say I've done it."
I took her chin in my hand and lifted her face up, bringing mine down to kiss her again. Her Chapstick tasted like strawberries, even after the greasy chili we had just had. "You don't have to stop at just once," I said, turning to walk into the living room. I nonchalantly flopped on the couch, resting my arm along the back. I flicked on the tv, as though nothing had happened, turning on some random movie channel. Cassie walked over to me and sat down on the couch next to me. After a few minutes she leaned over and rested her head on me and I dropped my arm off the couch and draped it across her shoulders.
It was several minutes later before she actually got up the courage to kiss me again. The movie had slowed to a less interesting scene, an exposition dump for the ages. Cassie turned her face toward me and lifted up, kissing me on the cheek. I turned to smile at her and she smiled back, her cheeks very red with either embarrassment or heat. She leaned forward and kissed me again, this time on the mouth. We kissed for a while. Eventually, we began making out, our tongues dancing in each other's mouths. Cassie's arms lifted up around my neck. And then there was a loud slam. Cassie jumped ten feet in the air and shot to the other side of the couch.
Someone in the movie had thrown a tantrum and slammed a door. When we realized what it was, we both laughed. Cassie's laugh was sheepish and embarrassed. I laughed hard that we had been stopped by the movie we weren't watching. It was hilarious to me that she had gotten so scared. I grabbed the remote and muted the movie. I looked over at Cassie and saw that she was now sitting the other way, with her feet and legs towards me and her body pointed away. I reached over and took her feet in my hands. I pulled off her shoes and began massaging her feet, slowly and deliberately. Cassie relaxed as I undid the kinks in her feet. The red in her face slowly faded and she sank lower on the couch, so her head rested on the armrest.
I massaged her feet for several minutes. The movie ended and another silently started on the other side of the room. I set her feet down and crawled across the couch so I was hanging over top of her. I leaned down and kissed her again. It wasn't long before we were making out again. I slowly lowered myself, letting my body press into hers. As she felt the weight of my body on hers, she pushed herself up of the couch into me. Her back arched. She wrapped one of her legs around mine and she hung her arms around my neck again.
