It’s been 2 weeks since they’ve left us. We’re running low on groceries and need to make a*****e run. Our only option of doing that was to call Jacob. He wasn’t available but said he’d bring some pizza when he came by.
Stacey and Karen headed to the waterhole, but I had pressing concerns. Emma has been in bed all day, so I decided to go check up on her. I knocked at the door.
“Emma, you alright, sis?”
She said nothing. I entered the room and sat on the bed next to her.
“Hey, what’s wrong? You can talk to me.”
“There’s nothing I want to tell you. I can show you…”
“Show me what?”
She threw off the blanket, revealing her naked lower half.
“Emma don’t do this. Put on your panties or cover yourself back up.”
“I need you to put something inside me. Please, do this for Emma.”
“Why are you talking like this? You know I can’t do that.”
“Of course, you can. You did it with that Stacey girl and put a baby in her tummy. Don’t worry. If I’m on top I won’t get pregnant.”
“STOP IT, Emma, just stop it.”
She threw herself on top of me.
“Stop calling me Emma.”
I flipped her over and pend her down.
“Jinka, or whoever, I won’t let you take Emma’s happiness like that. Put on some f*****g clothes.”
She raised up and kissed me on my lips. I pulled away.
“Yes, baby, yes. Give it to me. Harder.”
“Jinka, shut up and let go of Emma. She doesn’t need you anymore because she has us to help fight her battles.”
“Then why am I here? Answer that, genius.”
“I don’t know. Maybe you sense that and fighting to stay in her life. But you’re history.”
She tried to kiss me again.
“STOP IT. Now when I let you up, you’re gonna bring Emma back so she can get dressed.”
“Ok, I’ll make a deal with you. Give me a kiss, like you did her that night, and I’ll give her back.”
“You’re out of your mind, Jinka. I’m not doing that.”
“Then kiss your precious sister goodbye.”
“Wait a minute. How do I know you’ll give her back? How can I trust you?”
“You can’t trust me. But I am a creature of my word. I won’t stay away, but I’ll leave.”
“What will it take for you to leave her for good?”
“Penetration.”
“I’m not doing that. Ok, I’ll give you a kiss, but you have to leave like you said.”
“What are you waiting for? Kiss me.”
I kissed her for five seconds.
“As promised.”
Emma closed her eyes, as if she’d went to sleep, then woke up to me covering her lower half. She knew what had happen this time but couldn’t control it.
“Justin, I am so sorry. I couldn’t stop her. She’s never done anything like that before.”
“It’s ok, Emma, that wasn’t you.”
“No, it’s not ok. The way you’re looking at me…”
“That’s because I was caught off guard. You told me about her, I’ve just never seen her first-hand.”
“She’s been coming in my dreams lately, making me have dreams about you. I don’t mean to, she makes me.”
“Stop crying, Emma. Just tell me, has anything been bothering you lately? Beside the fact that there’s maniacs out there who possibly want to kill us?”
She calmed herself a little bit.
“Yes, but it shouldn’t bother me. I tried to not let it.”
“What is it? Maybe I can help.”
“Justin don’t make me say it. I feel terrible already.”
“Hey, it’s me you’re talking to. Not anyone else in the world.”
She paused.
“Last night…”
“What about last night?”
“I went to the bathroom and heard you and Stacey having s*x. It made me so angry because I want to have s*x so bad, but I can’t. I couldn’t stop touching myself.”
I’m stumped.
“See, I knew I shouldn’t have told you.”
“No, it’s not that. I’m trying to think of a way to make you feel better without, crossing the line…”
“Justin, I don’t feel like this around other guys. As much as I don’t want to admit this, I see you as my big brother, best friend, and the person I want to give myself to. Please don’t be mad.”
“I’m not mad, Emma. Shit...”
I picked up my walkie talkie.
“Hey, you 2 still at the waterhole?”
“Yeah, what’s up?”
“Let me know when you’re on your way back, I’ll start rolling up.”
“Will do. Tell Emma get her ass out of bed.”
“Working on it now.”
