Jeremiah staggered back into his room. If he could rewind the last few minutes, he certainly would. He had just barged in on his sister and found her making love with, he guessed, her new boyfriend Matt. She appeared too consumed by lust when he entered. Her image was burned into his brain.
Suddenly his door burst open.
"What the hell is the matter with you? Don't you ever knock?" Sophie screamed at him.
"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry," Jeremy pleaded with her.
Sophie was so mad at her brother but she was also frustrated. She was so close to a satisfying orgasm when he burst in and ruined it. She couldn't imagine what Matt felt. Jeremiah tried to cover up as she slapped him on the head.
"If you tell mom..."Sophie said as she started to calm down.
"I won't," he said quickly but he never thought of it. Not a bad idea though.
Matt entered the room and standing next to Sophie he looked large. "Hi, you must be Jeremiah? I guess we kinda met already."
Jeremiah stood up and shook Matt's hand. Jeremiah was over 6ft tall but Matt was a little taller. Next to 5ft tall Sophie, he was a lot taller.
"Sorry about that. I should have knocked."
"Or came home thirty minutes later!" Matt replied.
The two boys laughed while Sophie said,"Very funny."
They went down stairs together, grabbed a soda and headed outback. There they sat and talked, just got to know each. They were still there when their parents came home. Sophie told the two to stay there and she went and got them. She brought them out.
Beth hurried over and gave Jeremiah a big hug. Even though he had his father's height, Jeremiah was definitely Beth's son. He was caring, kind, and willing to do anything to help others. His summer job at bible camp was just an example of what he was like. Sophie was a little feistier than her brother. Both of them were great students but Sophie gave her parents a little more to handle.
Because it was late, hamburgers on the grill were the decided meal. The men stayed outside, drinking beers and watched the grill. The 3 ladies retired to the kitchen to drink some wine. What was so great that everyone was getting along well. It was as if they had known each other for a long time. Beth felt if they lived closer they most likely would be best friends and days like this would be common. She looked out the window and saw her husband laughing and joking with John. It was nice to see them getting along.
It was a rough day today. After last night in the parking lot, it seemed their relation was in danger of acting on its own will. They avoided each other and talked only when necessary. John and Nancy were leaving in two days so they would just have to keep trying not to find themselves alone together. At dinner they sat on opposite sides of the table and as far away as possible. It was nice because everyone was having a good time making it was easier than they thought.
Time seemed to fly by and it became late quickly. All decided to go to bed except the youngsters. The three of them were going to watch a movie downstairs. Beth gave Sophie a look. Sophie mouthed back, "I know."
Beth slept soundly until 4AM. Suddenly she was wide awake. She tried to go back to sleep but couldn't so she covered herself with a robe and headed downstairs. As she reached the bottom of the stairs, she saw a light on in the kitchen. Seated at the table was John. He was dressed just his pajama bottoms and was drinking a hot tea. She hesitated and then walked in. John looked up.
"Couldn't sleep either?"
"No, I couldn't," Beth replied. She sat down next to him.
"Water is still hot."
She got up, poured herself some and returned to the table.
