I woke before Nicole's alarm was due to go off. I had no idea how much earlier, so I lay there and stared at my sister, listening to her breathing. The covers had slipped off during the night, and she had her back towards me. Her upper body moved in rhythm with her breathing. I gently placed my hand on her upper arm, careful not to wake her. Her skin felt amazing, smooth, with fine hair.
The alarm on her phone was due to go off at 6:00am. I needed enough time to safely return to my room before Mum got out of bed. She usually got up around 6:30, and Dad wouldn't be home until 7:30. I could get up now and return to my room, but I also wanted to stay with her for as long as I could.
I must have laid there for at least another fifteen minutes, when her alarm started to sound. Thankfully, it wasn't one of the old-fashioned digital alarms. Nicole had chosen a subtle musical melody that woke her gently, rather than something that sounded like a warning siren from a 1980s action movie.
She sleepily reached her arm out, swiped the phone onto snooze, and slowly rolled over to face me, pulling the sheet up over her.
I smiled at her.
"Good morning," she said with a sleepy smile on her face. It was one of those smiles that you could tell was sincere by the look in her eyes.
"Good morning," I replied, staring into her eyes.
"I wasn't sure if you'd be here when I woke up," she said relieved that I hadn't disappeared during the night.
"I wanted to see the look on your face when you woke up," I replied, glad I had a chance to talk to my sister before leaving.
I gave her a light kiss on the lips, and then rolled out of bed.
I picked up my clothes that had been strewn on the floor the night before, balled them under my arm, and turned to take one last look at my sister.
"One last look before you go," she said, lowering the sheets to expose her breasts and gently squeezing her nipple, before covering herself up again.
I quietly slipped out the door and swiftly made my way down the hallway to my bedroom. I dumped my clothes on the bed, and I lay down next to them, wondering when Nicole and I could be together again. Mum and Dad both had the weekend off, so that ruled that out of the question. Today was my day off, but Nicole had to go to school. Chances are it would be at least another week until I finally got another chance to be with my little sister again.
I heard Mum's alarm go off at 6:30. It seemed to go on for a little longer than usual. I put that down to the earplugs she wore last night.
That was another thing we had to work out. Mum didn't always wear them, only when she went to bed while Dad was still there. It was beginning to look like Nicole, and I would need to pick our moments. Even if it was only for a few minutes at a time, it would be worth it.
Since today was my day off, I could let Mum and Nicole shower before me. Not only was the kitchen a busy place of a morning, but we all had to time our showers, so no one was running late. Dad and I would be home together, although he'd have a few hours' sleep before lunchtime, since he'd worked all night.
I'm sure Mum hadn't heard anything last night, although it was a bold move to check on her while she was sleeping. What was I thinking? Walking around the house at night, naked. What would have happened if she hadn't been asleep when I opened her bedroom door? Would Mum look at Nicole and I and just know something was going on? I gathered up my jeans and shirt, got dressed, and left my room, waiting for all hell to break loose.
Mum was standing there in her fluffy pink dressing gown and matching slippers, waiting for the kettle to boil for her morning coffee.
"Good morning," Mum asked, as she usually did. "Did you sleep okay?"
"Yeah, I guess," I said, still not entirely convinced that we were in the clear.
I must have been out like a light. I didn't even hear your father leave for work last night." Mum said as the kettle turned itself off.
I heard the bathroom door close, and the shower turn on. My thoughts went immediately to my naked sister, water cascading down her body, washing herself, lathered in soap...
"Well?" I heard Mum saying impatiently.
"Huh? What?" I replied.
"I said, did you want me to make you a cup of coffee or not?" Mum repeated, although I hadn't heard her the first time.
"Oh, uh, no. That's fine. I'll make mine. You get yourself organised," I replied.
I made a cup of coffee, a bowl of cereal, and sat down at the table with Mum to have my breakfast.
Nicole walked into the dining room wearing a long, oversized grey t-shirt. Her hair was pulled back in a ponytail. I could tell straight away that she wasn't wearing a bra. Her t-shirt draped over her breasts, and her nipples were beginning to poke at the fabric. I'm sure she did this just to tease me, and Dad would be home soon, so he'd certainly benefit from it too. I could sense my cock twitching in my trousers.
"What? Not going to school today?" Mum asked, concerned.
"I've got a few free periods this morning. I don't need to be at school until after lunch," Nicole replied, as she pulled a chair out and sat next to me. We made eye contact, and she discreetly glanced down towards her lap. I followed her eyes down to see that she had pulled back the bottom of her t-shirt to reveal she wasn't wearing any underwear.
Christ, she's going to get us both into so much trouble, I thought as my sister spread her legs slightly, and lowered her hand to her pussy and inserted her middle finger.
Mum was sitting on the opposite side of the table, unaware of what was going on under the table.
"Well, make sure you use that time wisely," Mum continued.
"Yes Mum," Nicole said rolling her eyes. "I've got some more study to do for my exams next week before I go in today, and Amy's Mum offered to pick me up when she takes her to school."
Mum said it was okay and took another sip of her coffee.
We heard the sound of the front door opening, signalling Dad's return from work. He gave Mum a quick kiss and started to make himself a cup of tea.
"Well, since you don't need the bathroom, I'm going to have a shower," Mum said to Nicole, downing the last of her coffee, and rushing off to the bathroom.
Dad stood in the kitchen, sipping his tea.
"No school today?" he asked Nicole, as she made her way into the kitchen to make herself some toast.
