Janelle woke early, Kelsey still sleeping peacefully next to her. She managed to slip out from underneath her young lover without waking her. Her thoughts tormented her about what she'd done the night before. She contemplated taking a shower; instead got her gym clothes on then headed downstairs. She tiptoed past Jordan's room, not pausing to check since she heard the young woman snoring.
Before heading into the gym which was just off the kitchen she made coffee. She leaned back against the counter, arms folded, recalling last night. Pondering her actions with each of the girls, marveling at how wonderful each of them felt. Her bliss was short lived when she thought how complicated her life was going to become.
The coffee smelled delicious as the aromatic steam arose from the maker. She sighed while grabbing a travel mug from the cabinet. She poured her daily dose of caffeine then turned off the maker. Walking into the gym, she swooped up her MP3 player, stuffed each earbud in and set her coffee in the elliptical's cup holder. Someone had left a towel on it which she decided to use to wipe her own sweat off with. It smelled like Jordan's body wash which triggered sweet thoughts along with lovely sensations.
Grabbing the elliptical's handles, she placed her feet in the pads, adjusted the resistance level then took off like a banshee. Letting her coffee cool a bit, her mind focused back on the night before. It was like she had a cartoon devil and angel on each shoulder arguing their cases. Back and forth they went, reminding her how sweet the girls were and how evil she was.
Summer was rapidly drawing to a close and she wanted both girls to stay. She knew Dave wanted them back, after all they were his daughters. Talking to herself, she began working on a dialog she planned on having with the girls. She was sure each one wanted to stay since they were enjoying their time with her. She hadn't meant to make love with either of them, it just happened. She had enjoyed both of them but it felt dirty in many ways as her conscientious reminded her.
She sipped her coffee hoping it would help her focus on doing the right thing. Continuing to pedal, her cartoon conscientious kept making valid points which got her nowhere.
After about a half hour her coffee was done so she slowed to cool off. Taking the towel from her neck, she wiped the sweat from her brow, inhaling the lovely scent of Jordan once more.
Her body felt better with the activated endorphins racing through it. Sadly, she hadn't come to any resolutions involving the girls. Passing through the kitchen once more, she set her cup in the sink then grabbed her water bottle. Filling it from the tap, her eyes looking out over the pool recalling the three delicious young bodies that graced it the night before.
The water overflowed the vessel quickly returning Janelle to reality. Shutting the faucet off she capped the container. Trudging back upstairs to shower she was anxious to get the sweat and sex off her. The girls were still quietly sleeping as she got undressed to shower. Taking the water bottle with her she closed the master bathroom door behind her.
She set the bottle in the shower, turned on the water and adjusted it to a soothing hot temperature. Stepping in, she sighed when the streams crashed against her sweaty skin. Dunking her head under the torrent she held it there for some time hoping it would help her find a solution to her angst.
She didn't hear the bathroom door open but she did with the shower. Turning her head while withdrawing it from the stream she wiped the water from her face.
There was Jordan, naked and holding her body wash, "Can I join you and talk?" Janelle was both shocked and delighted. Shaking her head because she knew this probably wouldn't turn out for the best.
"I don't think that's a great idea, baby doll. What is your sister going to think if she wakes and finds us in here? I already have too much on my mind to have to deal with explaining to Kels."
Just as Janelle was declining the invitation she heard the toilet flush, "You don't have to explain anything. Jordan and I had a little talk before we walked in here. I'm kinda mad at you, Jordan said you resisted a bit. I can't blame you, my sister is a hottie."
Janelle turned the water off, took a seat on the bench placing her face in her hands and started to cry. "Gawd I have screwed this up." Her sobbing continued as both girls sat on either side of her.
"No, I put you in a bad place, Janelle," Jordan confessed, "I shouldn't have bothered you last night and I'm sorry. I was just confused, so many feelings and emotions were running through my head. I wasn't thinking right. I confessed to Kels about what we did. She was mad but we don't hate you. We both love you."
"Jordan is right, I do love you, Janelle. I was pissed at first but I understand. I mean I did come on to you too. But you kind of started it earlier last night. It's not like I said no or anything." Kelsey reassured her.
"So, what you're saying is we're all to blame for this little love triangle?" Janelle stopped crying as she looked at each of the girls in turn.
"I think so." Jordan admitted.
"Yes, I think we all share the blame, Janelle." Kelsey agreed.
"I love you both, you know that. There's no way I wanted to hurt either of you. I got caught up in the moment also. Now we have it all out in the open and I promise it will never happen again. So, your aunt Janelle has made a decision. Here's what we are going to do. I thought about this earlier and I hadn't made up my mind until now. We're going to conference call with your dad. You both should go home and spend time with him. He misses you both. If he's willing to let either of you return you can stay here as long as you like." Janelle waited for a response knowing they might not like her decision.
"But, I'm old enough to decide what I want." Jordan retorted.
"I know you're old enough to make your decisions but you need to involve your father. He loves you and cares for you and wants you both to be happy. I'm not going to be accused, not that your father would, of stealing his only links to your mother."
"I hate when you're right." Kelsey sighed, snuggling closer to Janelle.
"I want to spend time with Emma." Jordan said taking a stand to see if Janelle would fudge on her position.
"Look, we still have a few weeks before my sweet Kelsey needs to be back for school. You my dear, need to have a heart to heart with your dad. If you want and he says yes, you can work for me on a full-time basis. Bottom line is you're both going home and helping your father. It's been way too long for him with nobody home." Janelle stood firm. The girls could see no matter what they said she wasn't going to budge.
They both sighed reluctantly then agreed she was right. Jordan got up, twisted the water valves on the wall letting the shower resume. Kelsey kissed Janelle's cheek before standing up to shower. Despite the temptation Janelle just showered with her young loves with no sexual overtones. After a little longer than usual shower they all got dried off and dressed.
Janelle dialed up Dave, luckily he was inside the house to answer. Janelle talked first telling Dave about the timetable she'd thought about for the girls to come home. He'd wished it were sooner but agreed since Janelle was paying for the flight. The girls each took turns talking to him without Janelle in the room and not on the speaker phone. They talked for over an hour each telling him what they were doing. He in turn informed them what was going on at the ranch. Jordan left out the part about Emma and Kelsey despite wanting to tell her dad. She also neglected to mention she wanted to live in L.A. with Janelle. They were both a bit melancholy when they hung up admitting to Janelle they really missed home. The rest of the day was spent out running around, visiting a farmer's markets and some other sights they had on their to-do list.
During dinner that evening Jordan got a call from Emma. She excused herself since she was practically done to take the call in her room. The call lasted quite a while. When she returned to the kitchen to help with the dishes she was beaming.
"I have a date." She bubbled.
Janelle grinned, "Oh, with Emma I assume."
Jordan gave her a look, "Well of course, who else?"
"I'm teasing you, silly. What are you two going to do?"
"Since I'm a 'cowgirl' she wants to go horseback riding. There's some place out in the valley. She knows the owners. She told them I know horses so they are going to ask me questions then they'll let us go out on our own instead of in a group."
Kelsey chimed in, "We don't have anything to really ride in. Looks like we might have to go shopping."
"It's not we Kels, it's me. It's my date."
"I know, I just wanted to go shopping with you. Can we Janelle?"
"Of course my loves. I'm sure we can find you both something even though you're not going with your sister, sweetness. When is this 'date'?"
"It's Wednesday if you'll let me off work. She said it's crazy there on the weekends. Please, Janelle."
Jordan flashed her puppy dog eyes; naturally Janelle relented. She would have regardless but she enjoyed when the girls pleaded with her.
"Of course, silly. Is she picking you up or what? I would like some details so I don't worry about you."
