AUTHOR'S NOTE: First: Read "Sharing a Shower" before reading this.
Second: "Sharing a Shower" was originally going to be a one-and-done self-contained story. However an anonymous fan of that story emailed me with an idea for a follow up story. At first I wasn't going to do it, because I had no intention of continuing the story. But the more I thought about it, the more I liked the idea. So if that anonymous fan is reading, thank you for the idea. Although I did change a couple of things. Enjoy!
It had been six months since I had accidentally walked in on my twin sister Kiara in the shower which led to us having sex on a regular basis behind our parents backs. It was hard keeping things on the down low, because no matter how careful we were, we knew there was always the chance we could get caught.
One night after dinner while Kiara and I were about to sneak off to my room for a quickie, mom's phone rang.
"Hello? Hey sis, how are you?"
Kiara and I looked at each other and rolled our eyes. Our mother's older sister, Rose was on the phone. Now don't get the wrong idea, we loved our aunt, and she was just as good looking as mom, but she was also something of a stick in the mud. Her husband, our Uncle Joe was very conservative (even more than Aunt Rose was), and although they never outright said it, they didn't approve of the way our parents raised us. But they had their own kids to raise, our cousins James and Abigail.
Unlike Kiara and I James and Abby weren't twins. James was a year and a half older than us, and Abby was a year younger. That wasn't the only thing that differentiated us from our cousins. While they were raised in a strict conservative household, Kiara and I were raised with a lot less restrictions. We still had rules we had to follow growing up, but our parents let us have a lot more freedom when it came to most aspects of our lives. James and Abby, not so much. James went to all boys schools and Abby to all girls schools for most of their lives, only going to a coed school (that had to be approved by Uncle Joe) when their college years hit. Kiara and I went to public schools and had the freedom to choose where we went to college.
Due to that neither one of them had that much experience with the opposite sex, James had only just recently started dating a girl from their church while Abby was still single. The both of them had taken after mom's side of the family (except for inheriting Uncle Joe's red hair) as they were both very good looking and knew that if they wanted to, they could use that to their advantage, not that they ever had a chance to exploit it.
It had been almost a year since we had seen them due to us being almost on the other side of the city from them, but every now and then Aunt Rose would call just to say hi, and drop subtle hints about how she didn't approve of how mom and dad were raising us. After a while she gave up when she realized she wasn't going to change mom's mind and just made small talk. Kiara and I normally just texted our cousins.
Anyway, back to the phone call.
"Nothing right now, just finished dinner. (pause) Really? That does sound like fun. Hang on." She turned to my dad. "Jeff, do you think you could get a couple weeks off of work?"
"Hmm. I'd have to ask my boss. Oh, wait! I am the boss!" my dad said, referring to the gym he owned. "Yeah, I think the gym can run without me for a while. Why?"
"Well, Rose was thinking we should head up to my dad's cabin for a couple of weeks." mom said.
"All of us?" Kiara asked.
"Yeah. James and Abigail will be there too. You haven't seen them in... how long has it been now Rose?"
"About a year or so." I heard Aunt Rose say over the phone.
"Looks like you two are also off the hook for work for the next couple of weeks." Dad said, looking at Kiara and I. He had given us jobs at the gym, making it clear that one day he'd turn the business over to us.
"Then it's settled. When?" Mom said, turning her attention back to the phone. "Next week? Sounds like a plan."
One week and a four hour car ride later we arrived at the cabin. Now you're probably wondering how eight people were going to share a cabin. Well the cabin stood on land that had been in my mother's family for generations. The cabin had been built by my grandfather strictly as a vacation house. Nothing fancy, just somewhere he could go to get away from it all for a while. Out in the middle of nowhere with the nearest neighbor over two miles away. Over the years as the family expanded so did the cabin. When it became too much for grandpa to do by himself, he hired professional construction crews to add on to the cabin. Over the years it had gone from a simple three room cabin to a two story multi-room house that had enough room for all possible combinations of the family. The cabin was also on a lake where most of us had learned to swim. I briefly wondered if the rope swing in the tree was still there.
Grandpa made it clear we could use the cabin whenever we liked. Over the years we had been there too many times to count in various combinations.
We had stopped to buy groceries along the way, and James, Abby, Kiara and I were charged with bringing them into the house, while our parents handled the luggage and room assignments.
Just as we finished putting all the groceries away mom's phone rang. The smile fell off her face and her eyes went wide with shock.
"Hunter, what is it?" Rose asked, being the first to see my mother's face.
"Mom and dad were in a car accident." she said, choking back tears.
"I told them they should not be driving anymore." Uncle Joe said angrily.
"This is not the time, Joseph." Aunt Rose snapped, "Alright kids, pack up we have to go."
"Joe, Rose, the kids don't have to come with us. What are they going to do in a hospital? Read magazines that are ten years out of date? They're responsible adults now. I think we can leave them alone for a few days." Dad said.
After a few moments and exchanging looks, Uncle Joe sighed. "Fine, but we're taking my truck."
He headed upstairs to grab his and Aunt Rose's luggage and my dad followed to grab his and mom's bags. Aunt Rose handed James the keys to the house while mom was still on the phone with the hospital. Dad and Uncle Joe came downstairs a few minutes later with the bags and headed outside to toss them into Uncle Joe's SUV. My dad handed me his car keys and a handful of cash, as Uncle Joe also handed some money to James.
"If we hurry we can be there by nightfall." Uncle Joe said. "Kids, behave yourselves and pray for them."
Mom was finally off the phone, "We'll call you as soon as we know anything, have fun, within reason. No wild parties."
After hugs and kisses were exchanged they were off and just like that the four of us were alone.
"Do you think they'll be okay?" Abby asked as we turned to walk back to the house.
"Grandpa will be fine, he's a tough old buzzard." I said using his own term for himself, "And grandma's no slouch either."
"Plus, there's nothing we can do now. It's a beautiful day, so what say we go swimming to get our mind off of things?" Kiara said.
