Sister/Genie Ch. 21

Jenny, predictably, was the only one perfectly at ease. Still, there was no "walk of shame" mentality with anyone; there were quiet, playful looks as people got some clothing on and took turns showering to quickly rid themselves of physical evidence. Still, Jaya watched Jasmine most of the time and noticed wincing every time she looked at Trevor for a while, and a dumbfounded expression when she saw Jaya and Jenny near each other.

Jaya was worried about lingering issues, and then Trevor asked all of them to sit down at the table before they left.

"Okay, let's clear things up. Speaking for myself, that was...an amazing night. I don't regret anything that happened unless one of you got hurt. Now I made my career on reading people so I know you two are mostly okay," Trevor said, pointing a wagging finger at Jaya and Jenny, who giggled.

Then he turned to Jasmine. "How are you doing?" he asked.

Jasmine blew out a long breath. "I...wow. I'm okay. I think...it's the case of 'be careful what you wish for' I guess. I mean, I've been pushing some boundaries with Mariah. I like sex but I haven't explored much. She...she only got me to do anal recently, and...you're the first guy I've had real anal sex with. I...I definitely wanted to be with you Trevor. That was a fantasy I've had for a long time, and I gambled that with Jenny and Mariah's and your attitudes you'd be okay with it."

"It was one of my fantasies too, if you'll forgive a dirty old man," Trevor admitted.

"I'm forgiving nothing; you're a good lover," Jasmine said, "And...okay, look I wanted to get you two to kiss. I felt like it was this naughty little secret and I wanted to get a thrill from outing you but...holy shit I did not gamble on how much you two are into sex. I mean, you two made out and helped each other fuck Trevor and...Mariah..."

"I'm sorry," Jaya said, looking down, "It's why...well we don't do it."

Jasmine quickly reached out and took Mariah's hand. "Baby no. No, don't be sorry. I...I'm not grossed out by it or anything but like I said; I was expecting a little playful kissing and I got an incestual threesome. I just...I need to process it."

"So...do you want me to go home with Trevor, give you some space?" Jaya asked.

"No! Oh God...fuck I've fucked this all up," Jasmine said. She moved around and knelt in front of Jaya, taking her face in her hands.

"I love you baby. I don't want anything to change. I...now that I know how things are with your sister I want to support you in that. I need some time to process that. I don't want you away from me."

"Okay," Jaya said, blinking back tears.

"I think some time away from each other, our two couples, might be good though. We'll reconnect and discuss how we feel about what happened before we try to process it as a group."

They all agreed on that approach.

Despite their discussion, Jaya still felt a lot of tension from Jasmine on the ride back to her place. When they got there Jasmine said "Let's sit down," and Jaya felt her heart start pounding in her chest. They sat at the table in silence for a while.

"Sorry, I need tea or something," Jasmine said.

That killed several minutes and Jaya was starting to get a sense of déjà vu. She hoped that conversation would, in the end, turn out as well as their first tense one.

"Are you still bothered about Jenny?" Jaya asked.

"What? No! I mean...a little, honestly but-..what are you doing?"

Jaya looked confused and then flushed, embarrassed and panicked. She'd been tugging on her hair with her hands, one over the other, repeatedly. It was a nervous habit she'd always had, and Jasmine was very familiar with Jaya doing it, but not Mariah. She cursed herself for her carelessness.

"Sorry, just...it's nothing. Anyway will you tell me what's wrong? If it isn't Jenny then what?" Jaya asked.

Jasmine poured her tea and turned around. She stirred it but stayed leaning against the counter instead of returning to sit.

"I got a job offer," Jasmine said.

"Okay," Jaya prompted after Jasmine let that comment hang for a while.

"It's in London."

"Oh," Jaya said.

"The company we went to visit with Trevor? They want me on their marketing team. As a manager. I'd be directing my own marketing group. At my age that's...it's an amazing opportunity. DoubleM is great but...honestly I was mostly there for Trevor. A lot of the accounts I have now used to be his and everyone still sees me as Trevor's pet. It will take me years to get out from that. This would be a fresh start. But I'd have to move there."

"Oh," Jaya said again. Her head was running through fifteen different questions and scenarios already. She had never been a really big distance away from the genie or the bottle. Would she be able to stay as Jenny's mistress? Would Jenny have to break up with Trevor? How would they explain that? Of course...

"So are you breaking up with me?" Jaya asked.

"I don't want to," Jasmine said immediately, which relieved Jaya, but then she continued, "But we haven't been together that long. Certainly not long enough where you dropping everything and moving to another country makes sense."

"I don't have a lot to 'drop', Jaya. Trevor isn't going to demand I stay here. He's been asking me to cancel our contract for weeks."

"He doesn't want to pay you?" Jasmine asked, sounding genuinely confused.

"No, he thinks it will bother you that there's a semi-legal document saying your girlfriend has to go fuck a man on the regular," Jaya explained.

"Oh like he'd ever demand it. Or like I could really complain about it after last night," Jasmine said.

"I guess," Jaya said. She felt a tug and realized she was worrying her hair again.

"Jaya stop that!" Jasmine said.

"I'm fine Jasa," Jaya replied.

Jaya's whole world stopped. She heard the words leave her mouth and it was like everything went into slow motion. Her hearbeat got somehow louder and slower. She dropped her hands like she'd grabbed thorns. She looked up at her sister.

Jasmine's eyes were wide and her mouth was slightly open. She trembled, and the teacup fell to shatter on the floor.
