Emi Gets On With Her Day

As Emi decided to go grab a shower, Monica tried to roll over and ignore the fact she should get up for school.

Something felt lacking with Emi gone, a strange pleasure tingling across Monica's skin as she flopped into the oddly warm and damp spot where Emi must've been sweating through the night. Monica didn't understand why, but it felt oddly soothing laying there.

She was going to ask about why Emi came home today. Monica thought, not so much concerned why her sister turned up in the middle of the night as she was just happy to have her around. Stretching out she marvelled at how great she felt and the deep sleep she had after getting snuggled in with Emi.

She wondered if she dreamed last night, unaware of the weakened corrupt energies that had radiated into her through the night. Pulling the blanket tight around her Monica yawned and groaned comfortably.

A stray thoughts of being tightly embraced between two people meandering through her head, her hands teasing herself beneath them.

Emi grabbed some breakfast finding the shower already occupied. Her body felt strangely numb, her mind trying not to think about the pleasurable feel and energy that was running through her the night before. Afraid of awakening it.

Pouring some cereal and turning to the fridge Emi absentmindedly crashed into Caroline.

“Sorry Caroline. My head's just somewhere else.” Emi replied groggily, sidestepping her older sister and resuming retrieving the almond milk from the fridge.

“I thought you weren't going to be home until Friday?” Caroline bluntly asked, having tripled checked which sibling she had crashed into.

“Friday?” Emi asked, her mind strangely knotted with thoughts trying to weave around sexual impulse, desires, and ideas left in the wake of her withdrawal from the Idol's influence.

“Yes, Friday when mom was supposed to run you through dress options for Kathy's wedding Sunday as you kept saying you didn't have a dress that covered your shoulders.” Caroline responded watching as her sister's yellowish brown eyes seemed to glaze over.

“Hey Julia! Did you know the space case returned to Earth?” Caroline then shouted over towards the front door in response to a commotion of thrown shoes as their sister Julia all too typically scrambled to rush out to work.

“No. The astronut was clear about being busy until Frid…ay.” Julia shouted, quickly marching into the kitchen to snatch the toast she had put on earlier when she had grabbed her must have first cup of morning coffee.

Seeing Emi lazily wave Julia frazzled her hair. “See ya later space cadet. Mom'll be happy you're here.” Julia some how spoke juggling bites of toast in her mouth as she clutched her car key and unceremoniously zipped out .

“The wedding.” Emi blurted out, pointing her spoon at Caroline after emptying it in her mouth, the crunching of cereal strangely soothing to Emi as she increasingly felt it best to ignore last night and resolve whatever it was later this week.

She felt some of the strange tension in her body loosen.

“Emi, you're home.” Emi felt a chill of excitement through her body as she heard her father's voice. Her body growing warm and excited as he hugged her tightly from behind.

Emi almost objected as the hug unwound, long before it could be considered awkward for family.

“I was wondering who they were teasing. The other space cadet tries to ignore leaving her room for anything before 12.” Emi's dad remarked stepping around her and pouring a cup of coffee. "So what brings you home early. I thought you had work."

“Oh.. Uhh… Things just sort of came up.” Emi blankly responded, blind sided at what other reply she could really give. What does the church do to people who have had premarital sex with demons? Were they demons? Toni did ask for her to give up her soul.

Emily's face went blank as she withdrew into the knot of thoughts about last night, trying to detangle the mess and separate thoughts from desires and emotions. All in an attempt to make some coherent linear sense of how she felt and what she could do.

“Is everything ok?” He then asked, as Emi saw her exit.

“Showers free, talk more later.” Emi blurted out delivering her dirty dishes to the sink and skipping off to grab the shower before someone else got to it.

Grabbing the half drunk glass of juice Emi had left behind Caroline shook her head and began drinking it, no point wasting good juice.
