Unexpected Error

Fuck.

FUCK.

Fuck it all!

I pace around the abandoned bathroom, it must've been an hour or so since Poppy left and the image of her betrayed eyes is still burned into my mind. Why did I do that? What, because Rosie's into it, I assume she is too? That's so fucking stupid... More than that, there's one overriding factor I can't deny. I wanted to. I felt attracted to her, and I wanted to kiss her. It's not like I can claim I was just going along with anything. I did this.

I can't stay in this room, I've gotta go home, maybe pack a bag, flee the country? I fucking wish, either way, I can't stay in school, if she's told anyone then I'm going to be hunted like the monster I am.

I dart out of the bathroom and make my way as covertly as possible to the front gates, they're locked at this time of day, but nothing a bit of climbing can't solve. I clamber over and run back towards the house, not looking back at the site of my crime.

It's been hours now, I know this because it's dark outside, but I can't bring myself to look at my watch. Voices and footsteps come from downstairs, but I don't go to greet them. I don't deserve to see anyone.

I hear a knock on my door, I'm not going to answer... Wait, did I remember to lock the door? My question is answered is it swings open and Rosie enters, wearing a burgundy satin dressing gown and holding a familiar bag. Shit, I forgot to get that from the music room.

"Echo gave me this, she told me about the argument this morning, you okay?" She asks, placing my bag on my desk. That's what she's worried about? Then Poppy didn't tell her?

I sit up in my bed as Rosie shuts the door. "I'm... I'm fine, did you talk to Poppy?" I ask, trying to figure out how she is, as well as how much trouble I'm in.

"She's holding up okay, she really liked that boy, but I think she's toughing it out." Rosie answers, walking closer to my bed. "But we have more important things to talk about." She continues. Shit, did Poppy tell her after all then? Was this softening me up before the killing blow?

Rosie cuts my panic short as she undoes her dressing gown, letting it fall to the floor, revealing deep red lingerie. "Wow." Is about all I can muster at this sudden display. I think it's now dawning on me that... I don't just want her from a caring perspective, I'm definitely attracted to Rosie as well.

"Instead, let's talk about how you're gonna fuck me." She smiles, before climbing onto my bed and mounting me. "Ooh, looks like you're happy to see me." She chuckles, feeling my erection through my trousers.

A knock at the door cuts us off... Again. "Ru? Can we talk?" I hear Poppy's voice ask. I look at Rosie who seems equally anxious. I can't just ignore her, not after this morning. I signal to Rosie to get up and look around, the closet, it's a bit cliché but it'll have to do. I grab the discarded dressing gown and **** it into Rosie's arms, pointing at the closet. She nods in agreement and rushes to hide.

Once we're safe, I open the door to let Poppy in. "I... Erm... Hi." I offer as she enters and sits on the bed. She doesn't look at me as I shut the door. "Look, Pops, I-" I try to continue.

"It's okay." She states, cutting me off. Okay? She was furious, now it's okay? "Look, I was surprised... I'm still kinda shocked... But I'm not mad at you for kissing me." She explains. Fuck, I didn't consider that Rosie's going to hear this entire conversation. "I was mad at myself... Because... I liked it."

Wait, hold the phone, did she just say that? "You... Liked it?" I confirm as she nods her head. Well, I wasn't prepared for this possibility, especially not with the risk of her discovering our half naked sister.

"I know I'm supposed to hate it... Find it gross or something... But I didn't. If I'm honest, I've never felt so good. That scared me, so I lashed out, I'm sorry." She admits, her voice breaking as she apologises. I really wasn't expecting an apology, I don't think I deserve one. Poppy stands as she looks at me with conviction on her face. "I... Thank you for kissing me." She declares, running into a hug with me.

"You've got nothing to apologise for. I'm still your brother, I shouldn't have just leapt on you when you were in a bad place." I reassure her, stroking her back as she pulls back slightly.

"Well... I'm not in a bad place now." Poppy whispers to me, before moving her face to mine, meeting at our lips. There it is again, it just feels natural, as normal as breathing. After a few seconds she pulls away, a smile forming on her face. "We should do that more... A lot more." She decides.

I'm slightly lost for words, Poppy's a surprisingly good kisser. "I... Yeah, yeah, that sounds good." I respond as my mind puts itself back together, causing my sister to giggle.

"I'm gonna... Go back to that place again tomorrow. See you there?" She asks, letting go of me and walking towards the door.

"Definitely." I answer immediately, surprising myself with my eagerness, making Poppy snort at the enthusiasm as she opens the door and leaves. After a few seconds I shut the door and open the closet, allowing Rosie to exit. "So... I can explain." I state, but Rosie doesn't seem mad.

"First me, then Marie, now Poppy. You really do get around. How was she?" My sister grins, sitting down on the edge of my bed.

I can't tell if this is a trick question. Honesty's the best policy, I suppose. "She's... Good, like it's hard to believe she'd never done it before." I admit, causing Rosie's eyes to light up. "Wait, is she on your list as well?"

"Mmm... Lots of people are on my list... But I'm only focused on one right now." She replies vaguely. "Come here, big brother." She adds seductively.

That shouldn't turn me on.

It absolutely does.
