I awoke to sunlight shining through the window. I rolled over and realized Krista was no longer in bed with me. How long had I been asleep? And how had Krista managed to get up before me when she was as drunk as she'd been the night before?
I stretched and I let myself wake up a bit before forcing my legs out of the bed. My legs--they were covered in all sorts of drawings, most of which appeared to be crudely drawn fireworks. I had the drunken efforts of Krista and Tamara to thank for that. It had been such a weird night after they'd gotten back from their party. Tamara tried to take advantage of me twice, and my own sister had kissed me on the lips. Adding to everything was the lingering scent of Tamara's arousal still in my nostrils. I was getting so sick of that smell.
Oh, God. The fact I immediately recognized it as coming from Tamara disturbed me on a whole new level--a level I wasn't sure I'd ever come to terms with. I was getting way too familiar with the scent of her arousal. It was bad enough that I had to smell her when she was forcing my nose into her slit, but that smell lasted for hours. No amount of washing seemed to make it go away entirely. Luckily, no one else had seemed to notice. At least I hoped no one had. It was unlikely anyone was going to walk up to me and ask if it was pussy they smelled on me.
I worried about what Krista would say when I saw her. It occurred to me that last night had been my first kiss. However, that was something I'd never admit to anyone as I was barely willing to admit it to myself. There was no way I would ever confess to anyone that my first kiss had been with my little sister.
I made my way downstairs and headed toward the kitchen. I wasn't surprised to find Krista at the stove making breakfast, but I stopped short when I saw Tamara at the table.
"Good morning," Krista said cheerfully.
"What the he--" I paused taking a breath to stay calm. "What is Tamara doing here? I thought she went home," I asked as nicely as I could.
"Sara! Don't be rude," Krista exclaimed.
"I wasn't! I just--" I hesitated. "I was just surprised to see her." I forced a smile.
"Good morning to you too," Tamara said in a sarcastic, yet somehow still timid voice. I wondered how she managed to maintain such a quiet and shy persona around everyone else when she was the complete opposite while alone with me.
"What happened to your legs?" Krista asked, looking down.
"What? What do you mean?"
"They're covered in marker! Did you get bored last night?"
I stared at her in stunned silence. Did she really not remember?
"You happened to them," I said. "You and Tamara, that is."
"What? I--I don't remember that!"
"I'm not surprised. You and Tamara were a bit wasted last night."
"Too funny! Anything else interesting happen?" Krista grinned.
"N-No, Nothing." I stammered. "You guys came home, drew on my legs a bit, and then passed out.
"Crazy! I don't remember any of that. Why did you let us draw on your legs?" She laughed.
"You were... pretty insistent." I responded. "So, what's Tamara doing here?" I asked, changing the subject. "I thought she went home last night."
"She texted this morning and said she had an awful hangover. I invited her over to try a hangover cure I found on the internet."
"Yeah? Did it work?"
"So far, I think the pain medication has been the most effective. I don't think that 'cure' did a thing." She laughed. "At least my headache wasn't too bad. I think Tamara's was worse."
"Eh, I'm feeling better now." Tamara said.
"Awesome!" Krista responded. "Maybe my cure only works on certain people." She laughed again.
I grabbed some pancakes from the plate next to the stove where Krsta was working. As I sat down at the other end of the table, I found myself avoiding eye contact with Tamara.
"Hey, Sara. What are your plans for today?" Krista asked suddenly.
"Uh..." I hesitated. "I don't really have anything specific planned." She'd caught me off guard. It was hard to know how to reply without knowing why she was asking.
"Tamara and I were going to hang out at the mall. You should join us."
Crap. I really didn't want to be near Tamara. I felt awkward enough around Krista right now as it was. However, it was a small consolation that it didn't seem like she remembered any of what happened last night. Unfortunately, I'd already told her I didn't have any plans.
"I don't think so. I'm still traumatized by our last trip to the mall," I replied, doing my best to sound as if I was half-joking.
"Aw, c'mon! No slides this time, I promise!"
I knew my sister. I also knew she wasn't one to take no for an answer when she wanted something. I sighed.
"Fine. I'll go." I'd just have to make sure I kept my guard up around Tamara.
*****
An hour later, we were at the mall wandering aimlessly. We went into the occasional store and browsed, but mostly we window-shopped. Well, Krista and Tamara looked; I mostly followed. It was on the third loop around the mall when Krista suddenly got excited.
"Hey, we should go into that store." Krista pointed.
