Stumbling down the stairs to my houses kitchen I grabbed a bowl for my cereal before sitting at the glass table we ate family meals at. Pouring the milk into some Coco Puffs I blinked as the box of cereal lifted up into the air and my older sister Candace sat down in the seat across from me.
Around 5"4 with light caramel brown hair my sister was the opposite of me in body types. Where I was wiry and tall at 6'1 she was thick and shorter. However it was the type of thickness that most men seemed to love, a thickness only applying to her DD cup chest and voluptuous ass and hips as my diminutive sister's abs were toned and cut into her body leaving her stomach slim and giving her an hourglass shape. Surprisingly she was actually quite the athlete as she ran track for our highschool and was the Captain of the cross country squad, much to the chagrin of the skinnier girls on the team. Even now as she sat before me she turned her back in a stretch letting me know that her lower back was probably killing her. Ah the struggle's of D-cup breasts, I thought as I took another bite of my coco puffs. "New sports bra not cutting it?" I asked as I shoveled another bite of cereal into my mouth.
Candace groaned as she turned to the other side and attempted to stretch the other side of her lower back before shaking her head, "I swear to god I'm about to start wearing two of them at this point. What took you so long to get ready today anyw-"
Looking up at my sister I blinked as a strange serene expression swept over her face. Eyes wide open she was staring at me like she'd never seen me before. Which obviously made no sense since we'd been living in the same house all of our lives. As she looked at me, her eyes wandering across my body I felt the startling feeling of a foot drifting up my calf. Looking down through the glass of the table you can imagine my surprise when I saw my sister's leg outstretched under the table. Feeling the foot raise higher I could only gawk as it brushed against my thigh in a clear bid to press against something else.
I don't know what brought me back to alertness, but before Candace's foot touched my crotch I grabbed it and looked at her. "Candy what are you doing?" I asked using the childhood nickname I'd annoyed her with for most of our lives. Candace's face faltered the serene look vanishing to be replaced by a shocked look of surprise.
"Uh...um," was all she could manage before yanking her foot back my older sister sharply stood to her feet and nearly ran from the room.
The hell was that, I wondered to myself before my father walked swiftly into the room wearing his suit and carrying his brief case.
"Happy Birthday son," he said warmly as he gave me a big hug.
"Thanks Dad," I replied graciously as my excitement grew over the idea of the presents that were surely coming.
"Now I know we usually save the gifts for when the family is all together, but I've been waiting to give this to you for nine years," My dad said as he carefully pulled out a small box that fit in his suit pocket.
"Oh my god you're proposing!" I fake gasped humorously as I looked at the small velvet box.
"Boy shut up," my dad replied with a wry grin as he opened the box and took out an engraved silver ring. A symmetrical design decorated the small ring as it wrapped around it. My father's grin disappeared for a moment to be replaced by a melancholic expression, "Your mother was going to give this to you when you became a man. It had been in her family for five generations."
"Wow," I managed to say as a lump formed in my throat. My birth mother had died in a car crash when I was only nine years old. It had been an understandably hard time for our family, but we'd coped by coming closer together as a family. Then four years later my dad had met Hannah and fallen back in love. "Thanks dad I-I don't what to say..."
My dad shook his head, "You don't have to say anything Son, but you should thank your step-mother Linda. She's the one who found it after I thought it had been lost when we'd donated your mother's things to the goodwill." Giving me another hug he patted my shoulder, "Take good care of it Connor, it's yours now."
"I will dad, I promise," I said with conviction slipping the ring on to my middle finger. To my amazement it fit perfectly.
"Good," my dad replied before glancing at the clock on the wall, "Well I'm running late now and apparently so are you. Better go pick up your girlfriend."
I sighed thinking of my best friend, "Natalie isn't my girlfriend dad we've been through this we're just...friends."
My dad raised an eyebrow at my hesitation at the end, but then snorted and shrugged, "Well that's your and her choice, but you two have been together so long you might want to reconsider that son. The girls a looker."
I rolled my eyes even as memories of this morning rushed to the forefront of my mind, "I'm aware that she's gorgeous dad, but she doesn't see me that way. I'm more like a brother to her than another guy."
My dad winked at me as he hefted his briefcase, "Hell that's how your mother thought of me before I convinced her otherwise."
