Alex, then Heather, then Alex again.

Chapter 4 – Finally Making some Progress. (continued)

Despite his long day, Jason wasn’t feeling too tired when he arrived home. Alex was on the couch, and she had a math text book open on the table in front of her, though she didn’t appear to be doing homework at present.

She smiled at him when he walked in, “Hey, how’s it going, Bear?”

“Hey, Cake.” He smiled back and sat down on the couch next to her.

Alex chuckled, “You haven’t called me that in a while.”

“What, Short-Cake? I guess I usually only use it when I’m feeling playful, and I’ve been under a lot of stress lately. Plus you’re not so short anymore.”

She gave him a gentle hug and snuggled against his side as he wrapped an arm around her shoulders. “Well you’re a freaking giant.” She countered, playfully. “I’m still short compared to you. And I don’t mind the nickname as much as I used to.”

“Do you want to talk some more?” Jason asked after a moment of comfortable quiet between them.

“Not in the living room.” She said softly, turning to look towards the door and the hallway, as if to reassure herself that they were alone.

Jason nodded, and smiled, enjoying just having her cuddling with him for the moment.

They sat together for a few minutes longer before Alex pulled away, “I’m going to get ready for bed. You staying up a little longer?”

“Yeah, I’ve got to do a few things. But, I shouldn’t be long.” He smiled as Alex got up and left the room after stacking her school things on the coffee table.

While she was doing that Jason sat down in front of his laptop, noting that it was open yet again, and quickly opened Skype on his phone.

:Jason: Hey, I’m home, are you still awake?

He sent to ‘Stephani’, before checking the MRE app again.

He hadn’t expected a lot of change, but he was happy to see the numbers moving a little.

:Stephani: I was just about to head to bed, babe.

:Jason: Do you want to take a rain check?

Jason waited a moment for Stephani’s reply.

:Stephani: Yeah, sorry.

:Stephani: Maybe tomorrow?

:Jason: Sounds good, hopefully we can make it work then.

Jason sighed. He still felt less than confident in his plan of action for dealing with the Dubois girls. He was waiting for an opportunity, but in the meantime he was just reacting, not doing anything proactive.

He heard keys in the door, and turned to watch Heather enter the room and glance his way with a frown, then a sigh. “Hey shi… Jason.” She said in a **** friendly tone.

“Hello Heather. I hope your day went well.” Jason said, turning to give the blonde his full attention. She was wearing a sweat shirt and sweat pants, as well as running shoes, and she was carrying a gym bag which she set down near the hallway leading towards the bedrooms.

She didn’t seem to know exactly how to react to that, so she just went to the kitchen. When she returned she had a glass of water in her hand. “It was fine.” She told him finally. “How about yours?”

Jason shrugged, “It’s been okay. Not great, not terrible. You know how that is.”

Heather nodded. “Sounds pretty fucking typical.” She agreed.

“So, I guess we need to talk a bit. Not sure now is the right time, but there was that whole thing with Kate yesterday, and before that there was that favor you owe me from helping you with your dress.” Jason said after a few comfortable moments sitting in silence.

“Yeah, I guess we need to get this shit in the open. In regards to Kate, I already said I’m going to be less bitchy to you, and I’m not really ready for that shitty penalty yet either.”

“That’s fine. I’m not really that excited about it anyways. I just thought it was something cute and playful that Kate would enjoy. She was the one who suggested it, afterall.”

“Yeah, you know what they say about goddamn assumptions. Except I just made a buggered ass out of me and only me with that one.” Heather admitted. “So, uh… have you figured out your favor for the dress thing?” She asked.

“I figured we’d sort that out together. Though that does remind me; what time do you usually go to the gym on Wednesdays?”

Heather looked at him oddly for a moment, “I usually leave here around seven twenty.” She replied.

Jason nodded, “I think I’d like to go with you, if you think we can work out together without fighting. What do you think?”

“Huh…” Heather regarded him, and nodded, “Yeah, okay, I think I can contain myself for that. I’ll try to be nice, but I’m not gonna promise shit.”

“That’s good enough for me.” Jason agreed with a smile then got himself to his feet. “I’m going to turn in now, you sleep well, okay?”

Heather pushed herself to her feet as well, and surprised Jason by giving him a quick hug. “Thanks for being less of an ass than I gave you credit for, Dick-for-Brains.”

“You’re welcome…” He hesitated, not sure if he should try giving her a teasing nickname back.

“Kate usually says blondie, and Alex seems to go for bitch or bimbo when she’s upset with me.” Heather said, seeming to sense his dilemma.

“How about ‘brat’?” Jason asked with a grin.

Heather pursed her lips, then nodded and returned Jason’s smile, “Yeah, okay. I like it. Go for it.”

“You’re welcome, Brat.” Jason said, barely resisting the urge to chuckle.

Heather’s grin widened, and she stepped away from him, “Now get out of here and go to bed, Dick-Head.”

Jason made his way into his room, where he found Alex sitting up in bed, already dressed in her pajamas with a book in her hands. He locked the door, and started going to his side of the room before pausing and asking, “Would you like to watch me get changed?”

His sister looked up with wide eyes at him then quickly put her bookmark into place in her book, setting it aside with an eager nod.

Jason grinned, and went to grab his own sleep clothes before returning to the foot of his sister’s bed, and starting to strip down from his typical school clothes.

“This is a little weird.” Alex admitted.

“Want me to stop?” Jason asked, hesitating a moment.

“No, keep going.” She said softly, blushing as Jason was soon down to his boxers.

“Should I take these off too?” He asked, and Alex hesitated. “I usually don’t sleep commando.”

“Then maybe not tonight. Just finish getting changed.”

Jason nodded, and pulled his sweat pants and a plain t-shirt on, before moving to sit down next to Alex and give her a gentle hug. “So, weird, but still nice?” He asked.

Alex nodded as she laid her head on his shoulder.

“Were you turned on by it?”

“A little, yes.”

“Do you, uh…” Jason paused, trying to think the best way to word his question without making it sound cheesy or awkward.

“Kiss me?” Alex whispered, when Jason didn’t continue right away.

Jason was startled by the sudden request, but recovered quickly, then lowered his head to hers and placed a gentle kiss on her lips. It was mostly chaste, but definitely not the kind of kiss siblings would normally share. After a few comfortable moments where the only sound was them breathing through their noses, Jason pulled back, looking at his sister’s flushed face. “How was that? Want something a little more passionate?”

Alex nodded vigorously, and Jason resisted the urge to chuckle as he brought their lips together once more, this time parting his lips to trace hers with the tip of his tongue.

Alex parted her lips, and Jason’s tongue slipped past them to find her own tongue, curling lightly around it and causing her to moan softly into the heated kiss. They were both breathing heavily by then, and Alex clung to his body and rocked her hips forward as they kissed, until Jason finally pulled back, smiling down at her dazed expression.

“You look like you enjoyed that.” He observed, and Alex blushed.

“Do you want me to… help you?”

Alex looked confused for a moment before understanding dawned on her face. “Oh, um… kinda, but probably not right now.”

“But don’t you want to climax?” Jason continued, growing a bit more confident with the situation.

“I don’t need to. I like being turned on, I don’t need to finish to enjoy it.” Alex explained, hiding her face in embarrassment.

“Okay, that does make sense.” Jason could understand the sentiment, even if he didn’t share it.

“What about you though?” Alex asked after a moment.

“I’m aroused, sure, but not so much that it will be painful if I don’t finish.”

“Okay, I’m pretty tired, let’s just sleep again tonight. One of these nights we can get an earlier start.”

“Alright, sleep well.” He told her softly, laying down alongside her and keeping his hands away as she shifted into a position she found comfortable before wrapping his arms around her as he closed his eyes, and slowly drifted off to sleep.
