Destinee and Destiny Ch. 00.3

"I've been dating this guy, Zach, for about a year now. He works with me actually, and we've been getting kind of serious. He has roommates at his place, so he usually come here most nights, with the exception of the past few—" She trailed off and I suddenly realized what she was aiming for.

Sex. She was worried that if I stayed here that I would be uncomfortable hearing them have sex in the room right next to hers. Truthfully, I wasn't sure just how I felt about that. I mean, my baby sis was all grown up now, as was I. Yes, we had fooled around as kids and she had a crush on me, but she was obviously long since over it. That only left me with what I realized before I went to Mexico. I had feelings for her, ones I couldn't run from anymore, but equally feelings that I needed to overcome.

This was my chance to reconnect with my sister and best friend. Whatever feelings I had were secondary to that fact. I nodded, a genuine smile touching my face. "Of course, that's fine, Destinee. It's not like we're little kids anymore. You can say you're worried about me overhearing you having sex. As long as he doesn't hurt you, that's all I can hope for."

She nodded eagerly, pulling me into an awkward, tight sideways hug. I hugged her back just as fiercely this time, absorbing the feel of her warm lithe form against me as well as the faint coconut smell of her hair. God, she smelled good, that was either something new or something long forgotten. As cheesy as it was it was like if warmth, sunshine, and fresh dew were rolled into one perfect scent. It was both comforting and a little unsettling with how - nope, I squashed down the thought, I almost added desirable on top of comforting.
