--- SISTERLY SEDUCTION OF SAMUEL - CHAPTER 7 ---
"Will you both be home for dinner tonight?" Zoey's mother, Gabrielle, asked as she placed her plate into the dishwasher. She was wearing an apron covered in flour after having suddenly gotten the urge to bake bread in the early morning hours of the weekend, which both Zoey and her brother Samuel now got to enjoy.
"Yeah, sure. Why?" Samuel answered, then bit into the still warm-from-the-oven creation. It tasted divine, and the smell of freshly baked bread filled the entire kitchen.
"I've invited the Winston's over for dinner," she said, her back still turned towards her children. Zoey nearly dropped her glass of apple juice, but managed to keep a steady grip on it, even if only just barely. "So, make yourself presentable, and please be on your best behaviour." Her tone was firm.
"W-Why have you invite them over? Wait, is Tina also coming?" Samuel's voice betrayed his panic. Tina was the daughter of the Winston's, and Samuel and her had dated before he went off to college three years prior.
"Of course she is," Gabrielle responded quickly. "Don't make a fuss about it. It's been years since you two dated, no?"
Samuel froze for a moment, as if his mind was somewhere far away. "Uhm.. Yeah. I guess.." He sounded so unconvincing. It was painfully obvious that he wanted to object. "But we didn't end things on great terms.."
Their mother turned around and waved a hand dismissively. "That's not how I remember it. She was just sad that you were going to college so far away. And besides, now that you're back in town.."
Zoey didn't let her finish the sentence. "Mom! Samuel's not interested in Tina!" Her face was painted red with embarrassment and anger at the same time. Her mind was running rampant. Had her mother planned this intentionally? She couldn't stand the idea of Tina Winston ogling and gawking at Sam all evening, and she couldn't help but suspect that this was some ploy that her mother had planned to get Samuel to fall for the girl all over again. She seemed to love meddling with their affairs, and had made her suspicions regarding Zoey's and her brother's forbidden relationship quite clear, but Zoey couldn't contain her emotions. "You shouldn't invite someone to our house who he doesn't like!"
Gabrielle appeared to be studying her reaction, as if this was some sort of test. She looked over at Samuel as well, with a gaze that seemed to dare him to say something in agreement with his little sister. Instead, he looked away. "Yeah.. I don't think that's necessary, Mom."
Their mother rolled her eyes, and shrugged her shoulders. "Oh, I see.. Well, too late to cancel the dinner now anyway. They'll be here tonight, and we're going to grill burgers in the backyard. I'm sure you can survive being around your ex for one evening. She is a nice girl - you know that. And besides, the Winston's are my friends, and with work being so hectic I barely get to have a social life.." She eyed her children, one at a time, while sipping her coffee. "So I want everyone on their best behaviour today. Okay?"
"Yes, mom.." Samuel said quickly, but Zoey's hand was trembling. She stared at the glass of juice on the kitchen table and wobbled in her chair, letting out an annoyed sigh. This evening was going to be a nightmare. How would she react if Tina stared at her boyfriend? She was a very jealous girl - she knew that - so she could already imagine herself lashing out, making a scene. Samuel tried to give her a comforting "you have nothing to worry about" look, but it did little to calm her down. Instead, Zoey closed her eyes, trying to control herself. Trying not to think about how angry she was at their mother for trying to manipulate things again. But it was no use.
"... Why are you doing this, mom?" Her tone was rough - a challenge was issued. Her heart was pounding fast. She was trying hard not to make this into something ugly, but there was an anger rising inside her that needed to be released somehow.
"Doing what?" Their mother turned around once more to look at them, but she already knew exactly what was happening here. It was as if this entire conversation had been calculated well in advance, and Zoey had played right into her hand. Her daughter's anger only made Gabrielle's suspicions grow. "Why are you so upset, honey? Do you have something you want to say?"
"N-No.. I don't.." Zoey stuttered, barely able to get the words out, with her hands shaking now. Samuel was silent - still sitting across from her, eating the freshly baked bread, trying to look as inconspicuous as possible.
But Gabrielle didn't back down. "We've talked about your unhealthy obsession with your brother at length, young lady.." she continued, her voice calm, yet stern. "Tina Winston is a nice, attractive girl - and she just so happens to be the daughter of friends of myself and your father. That is all there is to it, and there's no need for you to be so upset.." She paused, as if to let the last words sink in. "You need to stop being so clingy."
Zoey stood up angrily. "I'm going to my room!" she snapped. Then she turned around, without looking at her mother, and quickly left the kitchen before Gabrielle could respond, storming upstairs to her bedroom. It had been so very difficult to contain her emotions. So very, very difficult. She was hurt, angered, jealous.. And disappointed in herself for making is so incredibly obvious that her feelings for Samuel weren't exactly those of an ordinary sister anymore. In fact, they never really had been, but now that she was in a loving, romantic relationship with Sam, her emotions were running even hotter than they would have otherwise. What might have gotten a whine or a minor complaint out of her a month or two prior now had Zoey's blood boiling, with frustration and shame as well.
She threw herself down onto the bed, burying her face into the pillows, while kicking at the covers violently. Her entire body trembled with rage and resentment, and she wanted nothing more than to go downstairs and give her mother a piece of her mind. To let it all out. But it was hard to justify that kind of action without making it extremely obvious that Samuel was so much more than just her brother.
When Samuel came upstairs a few minutes later, he found her sitting on the bed, hugging one of her pillows and crying softly. He opened the door a bit more and slipped inside, closing the door behind him silently. "Hey, sis.. Don't worry.." he said calmly as he sat down next to her, putting an arm around her shoulder, holding her close. "Tina is not going to change anything between us, you know? I know what's right for me. You've know how much I love you, so why would I bother with a girl that I don't even care about? You have nothing to worry about.."
Zoey shook her head, looking at the floor. "T-That's.. I mean.. I believe you, but it still makes me uncomfortable. But what really annoys me is that mom is doing this on purpose! She's trying to make my mask shatter, so I'll give myself and my feelings for you away.. I think a part of her already knows.." Her words came out muffled by the pillow she was holding up to her face, but Samuel understood them well enough.
He took a deep breath, and nodded. "Maybe," he said. "I don't think she knows we're together, but I think she's well aware that your feelings for me aren't.. Uhm.. What she would prefer for you to feel for your brother.." The words didn't come out easy for him. He didn't seem too sure about how to phrase it.
"But, Sam!" Zoey responded angrily, sitting up straight again, as if a fire had been lit inside of her. "She's intentionally trying to put distance between us. We're already forced to sneak around. And now this!? What's next - she'll invite every single girl you've ever talked to in your life, and parade them around the house, just waiting for me to snap!?" Her voice sounded panicked. "It's not going to happen, Samuel..! This is where I draw the line. If she tries to take you from me, I'll do what it takes.. I'll just tell her the truth, and she can go suck a fuck!"
Samuel looked more than mildly uncomfortable by that idea as his face distorted. "Don't talk like that, sis.." he replied gently. "I thought we agreed that we weren't going to try to cause our parents any harm?"
Zoey wrapped her arms around her older brother then, pulling herself close to him. "But if she leaves us no other choice.. I mean.. I want to be with you forever. FOREVER. She'll find out eventually, you know.." she mumbled, almost as if she was trying to convince him of it.
"Yeah, well.." he replied awkwardly, turning slightly to look at his younger sister. "Call me overly optimistic, but I still hope she never does find out. I don't want to hurt her like that." He stroked her back gently, and took a deep breath. Zoey nuzzled into him, finding his scent calming. But as long as they kept hiding, their life wouldn't get much easier. However, would coming forward with the truth be easy? Absolutely not. She was certain their mother would find a way to keep them apart then, at least as long as they lived under her roof.
"So do I.." Zoey admitted, still resting her head on his shoulder. "But if she continues doing this, then things are going to get even more complicated, aren't they? What will we do then?" The thought made her anxious again. She closed her eyes, and focused on the sound of her brother's breathing instead. On how wonderful he smelled. She wished they could just forget about everything else, and enjoy being together. Why did things always have to try and come between them? "... What if Tina flirts with you?"
He pulled back, so he could look into Zoey's eyes. "Then I'll just tell her I'm not interested. Simple as that." He smiled softly.
"But what if she still keeps flirting with you anywaaays?" Zoey said, her voice whiny.
"Then let her flirt. It doesn't change anything."
