Jim walked into the house and saw his new wife and step-son discussing something on the back patio. It looked like a heated conversation because he could see the pain and grief on Jake's face. This was one time he figured he should stay out of it. As he carried the suitcases to the master bedroom he saw Sarah's door cracked so he tapped.
"Hi Daddy," she grinned. She had quickly changed into jeans and a top. "How was your trip?"
"Great honey. How was your weekend?"
"Good, we practiced and just hung around."
"I'm so glad that Jake and you are getting along. You always said you wanted a brother."
"Yeah," she said hesitating. "I really like Jake."
"That's good because I really like his mother," Jim grinned. "I better get these clothes to the bedroom." As soon as he turned she ran back into her room and looked down at Jake and Ann still talking. She too could see the anguish on his face and wondered what they were talking about.
*****
"You have to let her go Jake," Ann said almost in tears herself. "They can't know about the affair."
"But we don't know for sure. Can't we do some DNA testing or something?" His eyes were watering up.
"Then we would have to tell them about the affair. Jim loves his daughter very much and it may kill him to know someone else is the real father. And who knows what it would do to her?"
"Life sucks," Jake growled. He had finally found someone who he loved and now he couldn't follow through with it. "Maybe I do need to move in with Mike?"
"I wish you could stay with me," she said now openly crying. "Think about it for a week and stay away from her. Then decide if you can stay."
She hugged him into her tiny frame but his arms were limp. "I'm so sorry."
*****
Sarah tried to get Jake alone to find out what the conversation was about with his mother but they were always together that afternoon and evening. It was later after they had all gone to bed what she snuck into his dark bedroom.
"Jake?" She whispered while walking up to his bed.
"You shouldn't be in here," he said still upset. He looked to make sure she had closed the door.
"I have to know what you and your mother were talking about. Does she know about us?" Sarah pulled up the sheet and moved her thin pajama covered body into his.
"Yes, she saw us kissing. If she hadn't hit the horn your father would have known as well." Jake tried to move back from her softness but she kept coming into him.
"We need to tell them that we love each other and there are no laws saying we can't be together," she moved her lips up to his but he quickly turned away. "What's wrong?"
"I promised my mother that..........that I...I mean we would stop."
"Stop!" she said loudly. "Stop what? Being in love?"
"Yes."
"Jake no. I can't....we can't....stop being in love. We've tried that and we both know it won't work. Let me talk to her."
"No Sarah...it's over," Jake said feeling tears rolling down his cheeks. "Please let it go."
Sarah turned on her back and looked up at the dark ceiling. After a minute she slowly slid out from under the sheet and moved out of his room.
*****
No one but Jim got much sleep that night and the next morning it was very quiet at the breakfast table.
"What's everyone so gloomy about?" Jim asked when he walked into the kitchen. Jake had the sports page high enough to cover his face.
"Just disappointed our long weekend was over," Ann said. She had seen the stares from Sarah and knew that Jake had told her something last night.
"Well, football games start this week so I can't wait to see my daughter and........and son..on the field." It was the first time he had called Jake his son. Jake dropped the paper and stood up.
"I'm not your son." He quickly moved out of the room.
Sarah also stood. "And I'm not your daughter." She looked at Ann, turned and exited the room.
"Sarah!" Jim gasped.
"Let her go," Ann said knowing they both were upset. But she knew they had to be upset to stop what they had started.
*****
Jake hurried to school and into his first class. Danielle was waiting for him. He didn't look at her. After class she grabbed his arm.
"What's up with you?"
"Nothing. Just leave me alone," he snapped before jerking away and moving down the hallway.
It was at the lunch break when things got interesting. Jake moved into the large room and saw Sarah and Danielle talking. Instead of sitting next to them he moved to the table full of football players.
"Hey man," Brian smiled. "Whaa...sup?"
"Nothing," Jake said as he quickly ate and hurried out of the room. He made it to his locker before Sarah caught up to him.
"So you are not even going to talk to me anymore?"
Jake didn't turn to look at her. "Right now I can't."
"Jake don't do this," she whispered while pushing her body into his back. "I know you love me."
"I don't," he lied. "Sarah it's over." He slammed his locker shut and pulled away from her. She stood crying as he walked towards his next class.
*****
Jake dressed for football practice and was stretching when he noticed that Sarah was not with the cheerleaders who were practicing on the sidelines. At the first break he walked over to Danielle.
"Where's Sarah?"
"Why do you care?" she asked. "You're an asshole." She turned and moved away from him.
"Shit."
*****
Ann had just finished cleaning out her closet when she heard someone walking up behind her. She turned expecting to see the maid but saw Sarah instead. "Sarah. What are you doing home?"
"I..uh...need to talk to you."
Ann had expected this to happen. "I know about you and Jake." She took the girls hands in hers and led her to the bed. She still did not know how much the girl knew. "I'm sorry that you.......and Jake can't.....be together."
"But we can," Sarah said. "It's not against the law for us to be together." She smiled. "What else could be more perfect than having your children being in love with each other?"
Ann did not think that she knew about the affair. "Your father would never allow it and the rest of the family would think it would be wrong." She was grasping for anything to get her to believe it was wrong.
"Daddy would understand after a while. We all could work on him," Sarah whispered. "And after a while the rest of the family will come around."
"Sarah. I know you think you love Jake but maybe you don't. I mean he has entered your life and maybe it's because you've wanted a brother?"
"I love him more than anything," Sarah said looking into her eyes. "And he loves me too. If you love both of us you will help me make this work."
Ann knew she had cornered her. "I can't condone this. I think it's best if you two stop it right now."
Sarah let go of her hands. "I can't stop loving him like I do. I'll talk to my father. He'll understand."
"If you tell him he may make Jake move out and never see you again."
Sarah knew she was right. She stood and walked out. "I hate you."
*****
Jake didn't shower after practice and hurried home to see about Sarah. When he entered the kitchen he saw his mother waiting for him. "Where is Sarah?"
"In the pool," Ann answered. "She hates me."
Jake walked to the door and looked at her beautiful body lying on the floating raft.
"Do you hate me too?" Ann asked almost in tears.
"No but I'm disappointed that you won't help find out if she is truly my half sister," he whispered. "I have to know for sure."
Ann stood and moved behind him and rubbed his head. "I'll call a lab this week and find out what we can do."
"Thanks Ma," Jake said smiling. It was the first smile he had made for two days. He opened the door and walked outside to sit on the diving board.
Sarah heard the door open and peeked at him sitting down. She softly peddled over until she was under him and he was looking down at her.
"I love you," she said firmly.
"Don't say that," he said. His eyes roamed up her tanned thighs to the skimpy triangle covering her sex.
"I love you," she smiled while slowly opening her legs. She knew his mother couldn't see her.
Jake saw the bikini thong pull away from her thigh and showing her downy blonde pubic hairs. He quickly looked up.
Sarah giggled and then released the bikini top exposing her pink mounds and hard tips. "Uh Jake."
Jake looked down again at her soft treasures. "That's not fair."
"Neither is this," she said as she pulled the thong to the side showing her damp and glistening lips.
Jake's eyes were locked on her womanhood. "Jesus Sarah."
