My Loving Step Sisters (Part 2)

Chapter 2: The Sole Purpose
————————————————————————————-
It had been about a year since Katie, Jax, and I… saw each other. Katie and I were 18, and Jax was 17. I was surprised at how fast we’d gotten over it. It was actually hard for me to remember just what they… looked like. I was glad, too. I didn’t want to remember. I wanted to remember the good times we shared… the old days.

The girls hadn’t spoken about what happened between us at all in the past year. At least, not to me. I was sure they’d spoken about it in private, but who am I to stop them. If they don’t bring it up, there’s no point in me doing so, right?

It was early July, the 3rd to be exact. We were at a market, buying hot dogs, hamburgers, and fireworks for the next day’s celebrations. The Fourth of July was one of my favorite holidays. Sit around with the family and set off fireworks. What can be more fun than that?

I was standing with my father, looking for cheap package of buns, when a set of hands appeared over my eyes. “Wow, I wonder who this could possibly be…” I turned around, and, to my big surprise, Jax was standing behind me. She smiled that innocent smile of hers and I laughed. The events of the previous year didn’t even enter my head anymore.

“Whatcha guys doing over here?” She said, crossing her arms.

My dad, his hand on his chin, swiveled on his heel to look at Jax. “Looking for the cheapest package of buns we can get.” He said, before swiveling back to the racks.

I looked to Jax. She raised her eyebrows. “Well, Matt, if you need a cheap pair of buns, I got some over here,” she said, smiling and winking, before walking away back to Katie and our mom. I was about to follow her, to compare the prices, when I stopped. “Pair of buns?” Did she mean… An image of Jax’s tits flashed in my head. “Fuck,” I muttered. Of course that’s not what Jax meant… right?

I snapped back to reality when my dad pulled a package from the shelves. “Here we go! Good quality, low price.” He said, tossing the package in the cart. I felt a buzz in my pocket. I pull out my phone to see I got a text from my friend Daniel:
~ICU.

“I see you…?” I look up and around, finally seeing him. He was being the creep he normally was, peeking around a distant aisle. When he noticed I saw him he winked at me. I started to walk to him when someone jumped in front of me. It was Katie, who was grabbing my arm. She yanked me into an aisle, and held onto my shoulders. “Matt.” She said, in an ominous voice.

“What, Katie?” I said, knowing what she was about to say was unimportant. She always spoke in this voice when she was trying to make something sound important.

“I… found… the fireworks!” She said, before smiling and pointing.

I laughed. “What are you, five?” She laughed and shoved me back out of the aisle, where Daniel was waiting.

“Lucky bastard.” He said, leaning on the shelf.

“Why’s that?” I said, crossing my arms. I had a pretty good feeling that I knew why.

“Really, Matt? You take for granted what you have. Look at that.” he said, pointing at Katie. “That’s why you’re lucky.”

I laughed. “Yeah, I’m glad she’s my sister.” I glanced over at Jax, who was with my father. “Jax too.”

Daniel leaned back. “Oh, yeah, can’t forget about Jacque.” He said. “Speaking of Jacque… you wouldn’t happen to know if she’s single, do you?”

I scoffed. “No offense, man, but you think she’d date you?”

Daniel smirked and shoved my shoulder. “Nice, bro. Thanks a lot.” He started backing up. “Hey, man, I’ll see you tomorrow.”

I waved goodbye. “See ya, man!” I turned and started walking back to my family. I saw Ben standing with Jax, looking at the chips. I walked up to them, putting my hand on Ben’s shoulder. The two of them look over at me. “Find anything?”

Ben raises his eyebrows. “I’m assuming we’re just going to get barbecue… again.” He sighed, looking back to the rows of potato chips.”

Jax was still looking at me. “Find those buns I was talking about?” She raised an eyebrow.

I squinted cautiously. “No, but we found some other ones… why?”

She shrugged. “No reason. Just curious.” She walked away to find our parents, presumably.

I turned when I heard Ben laugh. “There’s no bother guessing with her, Matt. She’s a closed book.”

I chuckled. “Oh, I know, Ben.” I walk away in Jax’s direction. “You have no idea.”

Finally. The day I’d been waiting for. July 4th. We had invited most of our immediate neighbors and close by family for the party. We had a fairly large backyard, so we could easily house the amount that were attending. Our parents told us to get things ready for the party. Jax and I were in charge of cleaning the area around the pool. I picked up one of Ben’s pool balls and threw it in the bin next to the pool. Jax strolled past me. “Really think you should have bought those other buns yesterday… heard that brand holds hot dogs better…” She added before heading over to fix a chair. I stopped walking. Jax…

I realized, against my better judgement, that I was getting hard. Chances are, she was just talking about hot dog buns, and didn’t even realize how crazy of an innuendo this was. That, or…

I shook my head back to reality. Jax was back over by the porch, helping my dad with the grill. I shook my head and headed inside. I needed a break.

I saw Katie on the couch, so I walked up and sat next to her.

She looked up from her phone when I sat down. “Hey!” She said, leaning her head on my shoulder for a second as a greeting, before lifting her head back up. We chatted for a few minutes, waiting for the first of the guests to arrive. Tonight would be busy.

When the doorbell finally rang, Katie jumped up. “I’ll get it!”

Katie loved answering the door for guests. Chances are, the guests also loved Katie answering the door. If Katie answers the door, you’re getting a hug. And she gives good hugs. I stood up, trying to identify the guest from their voice. It was my Uncle Ricky, with his wife and kids. You wouldn’t be interested in those kids, though. They were much younger and far more annoying than my sisters. I stood near the entrance to the kitchen and greeted my family members as they filed into the house. My uncle patted me on the shoulder. “Hey, Matt. What’s up?” He said, not specifically looking for an answer. He suddenly waved passed me. “Well, hello, Jacqueline!”

Aware now that Jax was behind me, I decided to slip past everyone and head back outside. I didn’t want to be near Jax at the moment… she was acting strange. Almost as if she were going back on her promise to never talk to me about her feelings towards me. I walked up to my dad. “Hey, Dad, Uncle Ricky is here.”

“Oh, that’s good.” He said, not looking away from the burgers. “Just in time, too. Watch this for me?” He said, stepping past me to greet his brother. I stood by the grill and flipped a burger or two, just glad to be away from Jax for a minute. I felt a tap on my shoulder. My anxiety quickly shrank when I saw it was only Katie, and not Jax.

“Nice burgers ya got there.” She sat, rocking back and forth on her heels. I couldn’t help but notice she was barefoot; finding a Floridian girl in the summer being barefoot is about as surprising as finding a dog with a tail. Her long toes were scrunching in the grass, and I had to look away before getting a boner. Luckily, Katie didn’t seem to notice.

“Yeah, they look good…” I said, hiding my anger. Thanks a lot, Jax. Now I have to get over these urges again. Fuck.

Katie sighed and spun around in the lawn, her black hair flying through the air. “We’re gonna have so much fun tonight, Matt. You don’t even know!” She said, continuing to spin.

I had to push aside the thought that came to my mind: What kind of fun?

I realized I needed to avoid Katie too, now. Great. My dad returned with my uncle, and I took that as my cue to walk away. I went over to one of the pool chairs and sat down. Sadly, Katie had followed me, so I was stuck in my own awkward imagination again.

Katie plopped down on the chair next to me. She swung her legs up over the arm, her feet almost touching my arm. I shifted as to not be near them. Katie looked at me with her piercing blue eyes. “So, what’s up?”

Sadly, my penis. “Nothing really… really excited for tonight, though!” I said, trying to just have a conversation.

A smile spread across her face. “Me too! I love fireworks.” She said, kicking her legs. Her feet repeatedly popped up into view, making me look away. As I turned my head, I noticed that Jax was coming. Fucking really?

“Hey, Jax.” I said, looking her in the eyes, and not at her probable bare feet.

“Hey, guys.” She said, sitting down on a chair directly across from me. She stuck her legs up in the air, and presented her feet to me. “Hey, Matt, are my feet dirty? Don’t want to look stupid in front of the family.”

My eyes were forced to lock onto her feet. Jax’s soles looked like they were so soft. They were light brown from the dirt. “Yeah, they are a little.”

“Aw, shit, alright.” She got up, grabbing a towel from the bar, and walking to the pool. I watched her sit on the edge and dip her legs in. I forced myself to look back to Katie, who was looking at me expectantly. We talked for a while, about how we never wanted summer to end, about how we couldn’t wait for the fireworks.

But all I could think about was how I was getting boners from my siblings feet, again.

It was much later now, and the sun was almost down. We’d all eaten our dinner, and were nestling up together outside, getting ready for the firework display. I sat with Daniel and Katie, Jax close by chatting with Ben.

Daniel was blabbering on to me about some girl he’d been wanting to bang, but I cut him off. I noticed Katie looking at her phone, stifling laughter. “Dan, let’s not talk about this. It’s kinda weird with Ben so close by…” I said, motioned towards Jax and my brother.
