Sister Sister

The pair of you make your way down stairs. You can hear Fiona rattling around in the kitchen, she had just gotten in from her morning classes. If you remembered correctly she didn't have classes this afternoon. Great...just great. Fiona was going to be around the house all day with you two.

You hesitate on the stairs. You mom squeezes your hand. "Don't worry about your sister." She whispers to you. You nod.

As the two of you walk into the kitchen Fiona's eyes go wide and she literally drops her sandwich onto the plate in front of her from the surprise of what she was witnessing.

Her shock quickly turns to cruel joy as she looks you over. A wicked grin spreads across her face. She'd seen you in a dress last night, but this was a whole new level. Plus it was out of the bedroom in the middle of the day. She laughs. "OH...MY...GOD!" She says. "You little..."

"Fiona!" Your mother snaps. "In the other room, NOW!"

Your sister startles at the sharp tone of her mother's voice. The pair of them head out to the living room. You can hear them talking in low but intense voices, it was bordering on an argument. You couldn't quite make out what was being said.

After awhile you hear Fiona suddenly shout. "What!? That's not fair! You wouldn't!"

Your mother returns fire with equal fury. "This is my house. It is my money. And as long as you are living here you will live by my rules! Do you understand me young lady!?"

Fiona may have been a dominant personality, but in the Bailey household there was only one real boss. Fiona growls. "Yes Mother."

Within moments the pair of them return to the kitchen. Fiona's entire demeanor was transformed. She was PISSED but obedient.

Glaring at you with fiery daggers she swallows hard. Taking a deep breath she says in the nicest voice she can muster. "Jesse you're...you're very pretty today." She glares at her mother then back at you. "I think that dress looks very nice on you. Yellow is really your color. You really are so pretty today." You could tell this was killing her to say.

You were not expecting that. "Um...thank you Fiona." You add. "You um, you look nice too." And she did.

She bites her tongue, she wanted to say so much right now that she dare not. Through gritted teeth she responds. "Thank you Jesse. Can I...can I help you make lunch?"

Your mother smiles at the pair of you. You answer. "Yeah sure Fiona. Let's make lunch." You knew she had already made her own lunch as it was still sitting on the table.

Your mother says. "There we go. Good girls. I need to go check my emails. Fiona, remember what we talked about. Jesse, if she gives you any trouble at all you let Mommy know, okay?"

You start to clue in. Giving your sister a bratty grin you respond to your mother. "Yes Mommy."

Fiona steams as your mother leaves the room. The second she is gone Fiona hisses at you. "You little needle dick mother fucker..."

"MOM!" You shout.

Fiona's eyes widen. She whispers. "Wait...don't...Jesse please..." You had no idea what your mother had threatened her with but Fiona seriously didn't want to get on the wrong side of her mom right now.

Your mother sticks her head back into the kitchen. "Yes?"

Fiona is facing you, shaking her head subtly no, no, no. You look at your mother and bat your eyes. "I just wanted to say I love you and that you look very beautiful today."

That made your mom's day, you actually see a tear come to her eye. "Awww, thank you sweetie. I love you too!" As she leaves she says. "You could learn a thing or two from Jesse Fiona."

Fiona glares at you. You smile back at her.
