Sue Ryan woke up and heard the sounds of her family in full flow. She sat up and stretched, yawning. Climbing out of bed she made her way to the bathroom and wandered in. She heard a gasp and surprised herself as she saw her sister in law Sarah sat on the toilet.
"Shit! sorry Sarah, I'm not awake, " she turned to go,
"No it's ok, I should have locked the door, we don't bother at home as it's just the two of us."
She passed a piece of toilet tissue between her legs, dropping it in the bowl.
"Here," she said rising up and allowing her nightdress to fall back to her knees, but not before Sue got a glimpse of a fluffy ginger triangle of hair on Sarah's pubis.
Sue gratefully smiled and walked to the toilet, sitting as she hauled her nightdress up her legs and over her backside. She felt the first trickle begin and relaxed as her flow increased and the pressure on her bladder decreased. Sarah was washing her hands and had her back to Sue.
"So Sue, we're all alone this weekend, the troops are away, what do you fancy doing?"
"Oh, I've not made any plans Sah," she had automatically used her brother's name shortening for his wife.
"Oh! ok, let's let the troops get off then have some breakfast."
"Yeah, ok," Sue wiped herself and stood to pull the flush. She noticed Sarah was staring at her as her nightdress fell.
"Wow, clean shaven, that looks nice." Sarah said, blushing, "I've never had the courage to do that, Dave would like me too, I know because he keeps telling me." She grinned and winked.
"I just do it every couple of days so it stays nice and smooth, I prefer it that way, but yours looks really cool. I've never really thought about what your pubes would look like." Sue blushed scarlet. "Oh sorry, that came out all wrong, I just meant I never thought that you'd be ginger down there as well as on your head."
"And my armpits," said Sarah lifting her arms over her head.
"Wow, that's really neat, does Dave like that too?"
"Your brother is mad about it, turns him on instantly, I can get him eating out of my hands by lifting just one arm." Sarah laughed and dropped her arms to her side.
"Look I should shower, but do you want to go first?" Sue said, looking at the bath / shower.
"Why don't we wait til they've all gone, then we can take our time and we can really get to know each other. I mean Dave and I have been together for four years and yet you and I hardly get time to talk."
"OK, sure that would be good, you can tell me all about married life and I can remind you what a lonely single girls existence is like."
Sarah laughed and ran her hand over Sue's back. They left the bathroom and returned to their rooms. Sue found her dressing gown and wrapped it round her, heading out for the kitchen. Dave and their Dad, Tony, was busy making toast, whilst Dave was making a huge pot of tea.
Mandy, Sue's Mum was making sandwiches and had a large cool bag which was half filled with food and cans of beer and soft drinks.
"Hi hunny, can you get some tomatoes and lettuce washed and wrapped for me, Sarah's made a cake and I'll take a thermos of tea as well."
The preparations continued, toast was buttered and spread with marmalade or honey. Tea was passed around and the noise grew quieter as the breakfast was consumed. Sarah wandered into the kitchen and half waved at everyone, she poured tea and sat with everyone. Dave placed a sticky kiss on her cheek.
"Morning gorgeous, we're nearly ready to roll, sure you don't want to come?"
"Dave much as I live for every second I'm with you, standing in a muddy field waiting for a steam train to pass is not my idea of a fun weekend!"
"There's more than one engine and we're taking a picnic, Mum's coming, it's supposed to be warm and dry, sure we can't tempt you?"
"Can I think about that for a second, No thanks." she grinned and kissed his stubbly cheek. "Go and play trains, enjoy, I'll have a girlie day with Sue, we can get to know each other and bitch about you."
"Nothing bad to say about me, I'm perfect." he grinned and stood raising his arms and stretching them out sideways.
Sue faked a cough inserting the work "Bollocks" into it. Everyone laughed.
"Thanks little sis, I can always rely on you to bring me back to reality." He planted an extra sticky kiss on her cheek.
Sue blanched and sat back wiping her cheek with the back of her hand. "Eugh, yucky, so gross." Laughter ran round the table.
Tony stood looked at his watch and urged the troops on because they needed to find a space early in the car park at the steam rally. He'd estimated at least a two and a half hour drive so they needed to get going now!
Within ten minutes the house was still and quiet, with just Sue and Sarah sitting at the kitchen table finishing their drinks.
Sue looked at the crockery strewn table.
"Guess we're clearing up after breakfast," she said, glancing at Sarah.
Sarah nodded and stood, beginning to gather the discarded dishes together. In ten minutes they had cleared and cleaned up. Sarah glanced at Sue and held her hand out.
"Bath-time, come on let's clean up, ready for our big girlie day."
Sarah led Sue up to the bathroom and pulled her into the room.
"Look, I like to have a good soak first thing, how about you?"
"That would be nice, but in this place it's a rare luxury." Sue put the plug in and turned the taps on.
"Do you want to go first, or shall I?"
"Why not have a bath together, come on it'll be fun, I used to do this with my best friend Julie, we'd spend hours in the bath, refilling it as it got cold."
"Whaaat, I can't do that, I've not shared a bath since Dave was seven and I was about four or five." Sue reddened, she felt herself burning up. Her heart raced and her hands shook.
"Oh go on, please, I'd like to really get to know my husbands beautiful little sister, I haven't got one, but I've always wanted to know what it's like, go on, dare you?"
"Sarah, I've never been naked with another girl before and I'd be embarrassed, I can't", Sue fumbled with the tie of her gown.
"Pooh! come on, last one in's a cowardly custard!"
