A few days ago my sister June, younger than I by two years, was at my youngest sister Ann's house for a wedding of my niece. She lives in the Southwest and I live in the Northwest. My youngest sister lives in Ohio. She texted me a message about me not being there for my niece's wedding. I texted back saying I was sorry that I could not be there. I could tell she was disappointed one more time. We rarely get to see each other due to so many reasons, lack of money, being deployed overseas, you know... life.
She said she was not used to the time difference So she said she was going to bed. I texted back, "Sweet dreams, in my mind, I am tucking you in."
She texted me back, "Do you Love me?"
I texted her back, "Of course, I love you!"
A moment later, another text message, "Is tucking me in all you are doing, in your mind?"
I texted back, "No, but that's not all I'd like to do!"
Again, after a longer pause, another text message, "If you could, what would you be doing?"
I was puzzled, what was she asking here? I decided to see if I could talk to her and find out just where this was leading, why all of a sudden this playfulness. So I texted back, "Can I call you? I think we need to talk!"
Almost immediately she texted back, "Yes"
I dialed her number, she picked up right away, she didn't say a word, but I knew she was there, it was if I could hear her breathing. I said, "Are you you alone?"
"Yes, I am in bed." Her voice was the same, except there was something else there, an inflection, a sound that I have never heard from her before, I have always known she loved me, in a sisterly way, but this time, there was something else in her voice. Was she being flirty?
Tom.. "So....what are you doing?"
June.. "What do you mean?"
Tom.. "You know what I mean, are you playing with me?"
She.. "Well you started it!"
He.. "How did I start it?"
She.. "Well it was your comment about tucking me in, and besides, over the years, you have said other things, always in such a way that your true meanings were hidden. Recently for some reason, it could have been something you said, I started remembering things you said over the years, I had some time to think about our conversations and it hit me..sigh..., I realized you were flirting with me, weren't you?"
He.. "Yes I guess I was, and I have waited for years for you to finally realize it!"
June.. "Well...I do, and I don't know quite what to say, why are you flirting with me, I am your sister, not that I am not flattered, but what brought this on?"
Tom.. "I don't think it was one single thing, although I remember one event which made me look at you quite differently, not as a sister but a very desirable woman. But you remember back when we were younger, I used to see you naked a lot and at the time I could only admire your beautiful figure, I really didn't look at you sexually, more like one would admire a work of art. Everything about you was so fetching, I think you influenced my choice in women, it was like I was picking women that looked like you, so I could have the woman of my dreams. Your long dark hair, your pretty face, your hour glass figure, your character!"
June.. "I didn't know this is how you felt, you sure didn't show it, this is quite a shock to me."
Tom.. "How could I show it, I was so afraid you would hate me and turn against me, disown me, tell everyone what a pervert I was, and I would loose the one true love who has always been there for me. I have wanted to tell you for so long that I have lusted for you, you have been the subject of many of my fantasies, my thoughts and I have even had naughty dreams about you!"
June.. "Tom, this is going to take some time to digest. I am not sorry I came on to you, but after thinking about what you have been saying to me all these years, I had to draw you out. I need to think about all of this, sleep on it. I call you back tomorrow night when I am alone, bye, I do love you!"
I did not sleep well that night, so much going on in my head, the next day waiting for her to call was one of the longest hardest days of my life, I was living in torment, expecting the worst, hoping for the best.
When the phone rang, I nearly jumped out of my skin, but it hadn't stop ringing when I picked up the phone.
Tom.. "Is that you June?"
June.. "Yes!"
Neither one of us said anything at first, she was the first one to break the silence.
June.. "I have been thinking about what you said all night and today, I had an awful time sleeping and my day has been hell, I want you to tell me about that one event that made you look at me as a desirable woman and not your sister?"
Tom.. "You really want to know, are you sure you want to hear what I have to say, will it help you to make up your mind about me?"
June.. "Well, I already come to several conclusions, first let me say I will always love you, I will never reveal to anyone what you have told me. I still want to hear what it was that made you lust after me."
Tom.. "OK, here goes, do you remember when Mom passed away, I came home for her funeral? That night you picked me up at the airport and you took me home. I was so tired from the flight and you took me straight to my old bedroom. It had been turned into a storage room, but you had laid out my old mattress on the floor, you asked me if it was going to be alright, I told you I had slept on much worse and I would be fine, I just needed to crash. You handed me some bed clothes and a pillow, you said you would be back in to check on me later. I made up the bed and I was getting undressed as you came back into the room, I hesitated and you said "Don't let me stop you" I looked at you and I guess you had gotten undressed for bed, all you were wearing was a pair of hip hugger panties and a sleeveless tee shirt with a quit a scoop front.
