• Alice walked into the kitchen, her light brown hair in a loose ponytail. She set her keys down on the kitchen counter and opened the fridge and grabbed a caned soda. I watched her as she leaned against the counter and took a sip of the soda. She didn't say anything.
    "How was work?" I asked after a few minutes of silence. She looked at me, her light brown eyes tired.
    "Boring like always." She said with no emotion, and looked down at the floor. "What's for dinner?" She asked quietly.
    "I thought we could go eat at the new pizza place." I said softly. She nodded.
    "Let me take a quick shower first, okay?" She said slowly and put the soda down on the counter. As she walked past me I wrapped my arm around her waist. She quickly looked at my arm then at me.
    "What's wrong?" I asked in her ear.
    She sighed "Nothing..." She trailed off as I tightened my grip around her waist. "It's just..." Alice turned around and faced me then kissed me on the lips. I stumbled back surprised but she kept kissing me. I kissed back and pushed her against the fridge. Her hands tangled in my hair and pulled my head back and kissed my neck. Her lips were soft.
    She pushed me into the kitchen counter and I arched my body into hers, as the edge went into my back. She put her lips back onto mine. Her hands going all over my body, and stopped as they got to the hem of my shirt, she started to pull it up but then she quickly pulled back.
    I looked at her confused. We were breathing fast.
    "No, we...I can't." Alice said after a moment. She stepped back further.
    "Alice...what's wrong?" I asked worried.
    She looked away from me. "We are step sister's. It's not right." She said sadly.
    I looked at the fridge behind her. Alice is right we are step sister's and it's not right for us to do what we were about to do. Our parent's would never want to talk or look at us again if they found out about this. I sighed, then cleared my throat.
    "Yeah...okay, go get a shower then we will go eat, okay?" I asked slowly and turned around and put my hands on the counter's.
    "Marissa..." I heard her step forward then quickly step back. "Okay..." She said after a moment.
    Dinner went by slow, when we got back home I went strait to my room and shut the door, and listened to my I pod.
    A few hours later I felt someone kiss my forehead and whisper "I love you, you should know that. I'm sorry." I opened my eyes and saw Alice on her knees beside my bed. She had tears falling down her cheeks. She was in her pj's. "I'm sorry..." She said again and put her face into her hands.
    I got out of my bed and got on my knee's next to her and wrapped my arms around her. "It's okay...shhhh... it's okay." I said softly to her. She shook her head in my arms.
    "No, no it's not. I want to be with you...oh god I want to be with you." She said against my shoulder. She pulled back and looked me in the eyes. "I love you." She said in a whisper.
    "I love you too." I said in a whisper to. Then kissed her lightly on the lips, and pulled back before she could react. She put her head on my shoulder and sighed.
    That night we stopped worrying about what our parent's would say and loved and held each other all night.
