After being on the road for over two hours, I was relieved to finally park my car in the garage. The drive to college usually only took about half an hour as I didn't live on campus, but a head-on collision on the highway brought the traffic to a complete standstill for miles. I switched off the car's ignition and opened the door, accidentally knocking the big metal toolbox that lay to the side of the garage. I quickly hopped out and bent down to inspect the damage.
Just a little scratch on the edge.
I shut the door and locked the car. My parents bought my car on quite a tight budget, so I wasn't concerned at all for its looks as it was already a little shitty. As long as it got me from point A to point B, I was happy. I stepped out of the garage and into the house.
"How was the exam, Jack?"
I looked up to see my stepsister standing in front of the open fridge.
Lia, short for Ophelia, was only two years older than me so she was also still in college, but she looked much younger than all the other girls on campus. Our parents had just recently divorced and moved into their own places so Lia and I had decided to live together at our parents' place while we studied.
Lia and I had grown quite close while living together and were very comfortable with each other. Although we were comfortable with our living arrangements, not one of us had seen the other naked. Lia was a stunning girl so I had always pondered the thought of peeking at her while she showered or changed, but never did out of fear of how it would affect our relationship.
Today, Lia wore a pair of cute pink pajama shorts and a plain white tee and that hid most of her figure apart from her perky chest. I could tell she was feeling the cold from the fridge as her hard nipples poked through her shirt.
"Hey Lia, I think I did well this time. I didn't finish, but I only left out one question," I replied as I approached the fridge and got myself a soda.
"That's amazing!" she said and wrapped her arms around my side in a tight hug.
Lia was shorter than I was so her head rested on my collarbone. I lifted my arm and embraced her shoulders with my arm and squeezed a little. The hug drew on for a little too long, so I lifted my arm and playfully pushed her away.
"Close the fridge, you're going to let the frost in," I said.
Lia giggled and closed the fridge.
"I'll see you later Jack," she said and walked past me towards the living room.
As she passed me, her hair waved past my face, filling the air with a heavenly scent and giving me butterflies. I watched as she walked past, her t-shirt just barely covering her ass. I couldn't help but stare. Lia wasn't a particularly sporty girl, but she spent hours per week in the gym so she was quite toned.
That night, I stayed up to watch a movie in the living room. I had finished my last round of exams, so I had nowhere to be in the morning.
I paused the movie and made my way over to the kitchen to find a snack. I opened the snack cupboard and found it empty, apart from a few packets of popcorn. I popped a bag in the microwave and listened as the kernels began to pop.
When the popping stopped, I took the bag out of the microwave, emptied its contents into a big bowl and sat back down on the couch to resume the movie. After a few minutes, I heard a door open and Lia appeared at the end of the passage.
"I smelt the popcorn," she said half-asleep and with dark circles around her eyes.
I could tell that she wasn't sleeping much these days.
