The Bitch that is My Step-sister - EX

"Go on, baby," Krissy cooed.

"Nah-uh, if I'm playing, so are you," Jamie said, pulling Krissy along.

Krissy couldn't help but smile bashfully as Jamie pulled her up and how Suzie was ecstatic to be playing with her siblings. She didn't care what all the adults thought as Suzie led them around the playground. She was just having a great time seeing the joy on her sister's face. Biting her lip as Jamie was holding onto Suzie's waist as she traversed the monkey bars since she wanted to try it. Trying to hide how aroused she was as she watched how the two of them interacted, knowing Jamie would make a great father when they were ready to have their own. Reaching behind her, and pulled out her phone when its ringtone played on the air as Jamie stayed with Suzie when she wanted to do it again.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Kris, I found your note; what park did you take Suzie to?" Rhonda asked after Krissy's greeting.

"Oh, just up the street from the house; you should see Suzie; she's just having a blast," Krissy answered, smiling at her little sister, who was grinning like mad as Jamie sat her down on the ground.

"Hi, Mommy!" Suzie greeted exuberantly into Krissy's phone when she held the phone up to her ear.

"Hey, baby! Are you having fun?"

"Mmmhmm! Jamie and Krissy are so much fun to play with!" Suzie said, slipping her hand into Jamie's. Peering up at her big brother, giving him a toothy smile as her hair swayed in the breeze.

"Oh! Are they now?! Well, wish I could see that; shame that I can't," Rhonda pouted over the phone.

"But we can come back to the park, and we can have so much fun!"

"Can I?! I just might! I haven't seen your brother playing in years and years!" Rhonda was smiling as she sat on the sofa, breastfeeding Ben, listening to how sweet her daughter's giggle was. "Let me talk to your sister, sweetheart."

"Mommy wants to talk to you, Krissy," Suzie said, gazing up at her sister. "Jamie, come push me on the swing," she said, pulling her brother towards the other side of the playground.

"Now you go on; I'll watch from here," Krissy said, waving Jamie on as she brought her phone up to her ear. "Yes, Rhoda?"

"How's Jamie with Suzie?"

"Oh, they're just having a ball; Jamie even held Suzie up, letting her think she was crossing the monkey bars on her own just so she wouldn't fall and hurt herself," Krissy explained low, smiling was Suzie's laughter filled the air as Jamie pushed her on the swing.

"So his attitude isn't affecting her?"

"No, he hasn't been grumpy since we left the house."

"So it's me then?"

"Well... Dad, too, I don't think he's ever going to get over it, but I don't know, but we'll see how the years go by. He might soften a bit, but I don't think he's going to like either of you much more than he does now." Krissy did feel for Rhonda as she heard her stepmother sigh over the line.

"Yeah, I thought as much. So how are the two of you doing?"

"Oh, we're doing just fine, had a few fights, minor ones, but we got past them. He took me out for a romantic dinner a few nights ago; oh, my, god, I was so in heaven?!"

"Were you? You'll have to tell me about it when we're alone."

"Mmmhmm," Krissy hummed as she swayed a little.

"Don't let Suzie stay out in the sun for too long."

"We won't, thinking we'll be back in, say, thirty minutes; I know how you like to keep her naps on schedule."

"I do; you don't know how hard it is to get her to sleep if her naps are late."

"I can imagine; we'll see you then."

"You three be safe; I'll see you when you get home."

"Shh, you'll wake her," Krissy said as she peered around her seat when they pulled to a stop in front of their childhood home. Seeing how her little sister had dozed off in her car seat on the ride home. Watching how Jamie slid his key out of the ignition before he opened his driver's door. "I'll put the car seat back in the van," she whispered as Suzie instinctively wrapped her arms around Jamie's neck as he gently picked her up out of it. She saw how Rhonda stood in the doorway and how her lip was trembling as Jamie carried Suzie towards the house.

"Go put her in her bed, honey; I bet she had so much fun with you," Rhonda said in a loving voice as she lightly rubbed her son's back. Noting how he pressed his lips together, keeping the retort he would usually spout to himself due to who he held in his arms. "You should come and see Ben; he's awake; he'll love his sister," she spoke, smiling at Krissy as she approached the porch. "Oh, your Aunt called. She said they were thinking of coming over sometime in the afternoon to see Ben."

"Then I know when to leave," Jamie said, walking into the kitchen as Rhonda shut the door.

"Jamie, she's not like she was during Thanksgiving," Krissy huffed.

"Sure, she isn't; once a she-bat, always a she-bat," Jamie said from the depths of the kitchen. "I'll give her five seconds before she reverts back to her normal self once she sees me," he stated as he walked out with a drink in his hand.

"Don't you want to see Ben?" Krissy asked as Jamie began to turn towards the hallway.

"Nope, have fun though," Jamie said, walking towards his former room, now turned guest room.

"Jamie?!" Krissy spoke, putting her displeasure into the tone of her voice, causing Jamie to stop in his tracks when he knew he was about to be cussed out. "Get in here and see our brother, now," she said through clenched teeth.

Rhonda just stared in awe at her stepdaughter when Jamie didn't say a word and walked into the living room. Grinning at Krissy, who blushed beneath her silent praise before Rhonda slid her arm along Krissy's shoulders and led her into the living room. Ben stared at his mother as she and Krissy walked around the couch.

"How's my baby boy!" Rhonda cooed down to him, who gave her a gummy smile as she tickled Ben's stomach. Glancing up, noting how Jamie was just sipping on his drink, unclipping Ben from the baby rocker she had placed him in. Humming as she swayed as she held Ben to her chest like she had done with all her children. As she sat down beside her son, noticing how Jamie glanced out the corner of his eye at her when she did. Flashing Krissy a smile as she took Jamie's drink from him, over his silent protest, before Rhonda turned towards him. "Hold your brother, Jamie," she ordered, not giving Jamie a chance to object before she laid Ben into his arms. "Support his head, honey, like this," Rhonda instructed, moving his arm to support Ben's head as Jamie cradled Ben. "See, you're a natural," she uttered in a loving voice as her hand brushed along the back of Jamie's head.

"That isn't so bad, now is it?" Krissy asked as she stood to the left of him. Given the look on his face, she knew he was not happy with her at the moment. She, on the other hand, thought he was just being stubborn; it wasn't Ben's fault for being born, and Jamie shouldn't take his frustrations out on him when he disliked who his parents were.

"Okay, I held him," Jamie said, handing off his brother to his mother, and quickly got to his feet.

"Where are you going?" Krissy asked; her annoyance was plain as day as Jamie opened the front door.

"Out." Was all Jamie said as he walked out the door.

******

"Well, look who it is," Casandra said; while her sneer wasn't on her face, it wasn't hard to miss as Jamie walked into the house a little around three that afternoon.

"I see you're still a she-bat as I expected you would be," Jamie said, not bothering to be nice.

"Casandra, I warned you," Casandra's husband spoke as he, Casandra, Rhonda, and Krissy all got caught up.

"But Trace..."

"No buts Casandra, if you can't keep that attitude of yours under wraps, then don't open your mouth," Trace said sternly; after what happened over the Thanksgiving holiday last year, they had it out once they were home. Seeing how his wife's mouth just snapped closed. "Afternoon, Jamie," he greeted, getting a nod out of Jamie.

"Well, since I'm not welcomed in this little family of yours, I'll just mosey on," Jamie said, looking down when Krissy held out her hand to him as she reached over the couch.

"We're okay, aren't we?" Krissy asked, her thumb brushed along Jamie's knuckles affectionately as she held his hand.

"Yeah, why would you think otherwise?" Jamie muttered, confused.

"Just you haven't been all that happy since coming back," Krissy said, ignoring the snort of disgust from her aunt.

"Yeah, did you expect I would be?"

"No, but I'm happy you're not upset with me," Krissy said, bringing his hand to her lips and placing a kiss upon it. Casting him a smile before Jamie disappeared down the hall.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Jamie's shout caused everyone in the living room to quickly get to their feet. Krissy was the first one to crest the threshold of the hallway, only to see her cousins rushing out of Suzie's room. Who stopped in their tracks and had a look that told her they had done something very wrong. That was when she heard the faint, muffled crying coming from Suzie's room. That was when Rhonda flew past her when she heard those same cries.

"Mark, Theodore, what have you done?!" Trace growled as he glared at his two sons.

"We were only playing," Mark muttered, thinking they did nothing wrong. When in truth, they had if you don't consider shoving a three-year-old into her closet and running amok in her room as doing something wrong.

"Then why is your cousin crying if you were just playing?" Trace asked, his hands resting on his hips, waiting for an answer.

"Mommy! They broke it!" Suzie cried out as she ran sobbing into her mother's arms once she was free from the hug Jamie gave her when she buried her face in his chest.

"Broke what, baby?" Rhonda asked, looking into the room and seeing her son standing there with his back to her as he stared down at his feet.

"The mermaid Jamie got for me," Suzie said through her sobs. "When I got mad because I loved it, they were mean to me and pushed me into the closet."

"You did what!" Casandra roared, seeing the fear in their eyes as she glared angrily at her two boys.

"No, we didn't," Theodore said defiantly.

"Yeah, you did; you were snickering as you were tearing up her room while one of you, you both look alike to me, so I never really cared to know your names, where the other one kept Suzie from getting out while the other had his fun," Jamie said, stepping out into the hallway.

"No one believes you since no one likes you!" Mark stated with a snide attitude he picked up from his mother.

"And? You seem to think your family is the best there is; news flash, you little dweeb, you aren't; all you and your so-called relatives are nothing but self-centered, ego..."

"That's enough, Jamie; I think they get the idea," Krissy said, stopping him when she knew he was only getting started.

"Do they? Seems they haven't changed much since the last time I saw them," Jamie stated, looking down when Suzie latched onto his left leg.

"Told you, you care about her," Krissy whispered low, casting him a knowing smile as she rested her hand on his right shoulder.

"Mark, Theodore, get your buts back in there and clean that damn room!" Trace hollered, pointing at Suzie's room. "I can't believe the embarrassment you've caused your mother and me; I thought we raised you better than that. Then again," turning to peer at his wife who stood behind him, "I can see where you get that attitude from. And if that room isn't straightened out in half an hour, I will tan your hides, now get!" he barked. Watching his son's scurrying back into Suzie's room. "Don't worry, Rhonda, I'll make sure this doesn't happen again, and they will pay for another one of those mermaids. Be silent! It will come out of your allowance; keep up your bellyaching, and you won't have that for much longer. When we get home, you both are grounded for a month for what you did to your cousin. I'll keep watch..."

"We will keep watch, Rhonda; I'm terribly sorry what the boys did to Suzie; they will be punished, I assure you," Casandra said, cutting off her husband. "Suzie," smiling sweetly at her niece as she bent forward, "I'll make sure the boys put your room back to the way it once was," she spoke, hearing Jamie's snort as he walked down the hallway.

"I want that room spotless when I come back to check on it," Rhonda uttered.

"It will be; we'll make sure of it, hear that, get this room spotless!" Casandra snapped, causing her children to jump.

"Come on baby, let's go see your brother," Rhonda said, holding out her hand to Suzie, noting how Krissy was following after them.

******

"Hello?" Krissy answered her phone late the next morning as she and Jamie lounged in the guest bedroom. Biting her lip as Jamie's hand ran along her near-naked body, waving his hand away when he was palming her ass. How she enjoyed the fact that her husband couldn't keep his hands off of her body, something she thought how it should be. Remembering how her father was when he came home from work last night and the heated conversation he had when he spoke to his sister.

"Hey, girl! Why didn't you call that you were in town!" Krissy squealed as she bounced on her knees on the bed, noting how Jamie's eyes were following the bounce of her breasts in her bra.

"Missy! I thought you left for college!" Krissy exclaimed.

"I'll be leaving here in a week; why didn't you call and tell me you were back in town!"

Jamie rolled off the bed, getting dressed, knowing she would be talking for a while. Only to stop when Krissy placed a hand on his back, feeling his skin heat when Krissy's soft lips graced it. Looking down when Krissy's left arm wrapped around him, keeping him rooted on the bed.

"Well, I didn't know you were still in town; I thought you left after graduation," Krissy said truthfully.

"How long will you and Jamie be in town?" Missy asked, knowing if her friend was here, then Jamie was as well.

"Don't know, maybe a week, might be more. Are the others still in town?" Krissy inquired, eager to spend some time with her friends.

"Just Dafne, Rachel already left for college like a month ago or something like that," Missy informed Krissy, who was sad she couldn't see her other dear friend.

"Oh."

"I know Rachel would have loved to see you again before she left. She was always wondering how you two were doing down there. So spill how's married life going for you?"

"Oh, Jamie's awesome; you wouldn't believe how sweet and romantic he can be; just before we came up here, he took me out to this very, very romantic restaurant where my baby just wooed me all over again," Krissy chatted away.

"So, want to grab a coffee and catch up?"

"Hell yeah!" Krissy giggled.

"Sweet, I'll call Dafne and see if she wants to come."

"Then I better get dressed!"

"Oh, please tell me you aren't naked, and Jamie isn't between your legs while we're talking?!" Missy teased. "Because that just be so damn wrong!" Krissy fell onto her back, laughing like mad at her friend's words, remembering back to when they had taken Jamie to Missy's apartment, where they all had gotten Jamie to eat them out.

"So, girls' day out?" Krissy asked, hearing Missy's fingers tapping on her phone, knowing she was texting Dafne.

"Mmmhmm, Dafne is so in!"

"Cool, let me shower and dress, and I'll come and pick you two up," Krissy said quickly, rolling off the bed.

"We'll be ready."

"Baby, would you mind if I borrow the car and some money?" Krissy asked, batting her eyelashes at him, hoping he didn't make a big stink about her seeing her friends.

"And leave me stranded here?!" Jamie said in mock indignation, smiling at Krissy, who returned it, knowing he was only teasing her.

"Thank you, baby," Krissy said, elegantly sliding off the bed, swaying her hips as she ambled the few feet between the two of them. Leaning up, placing a loving kiss upon Jamie's lips as he dropped his keys and forty dollars into her left hand. "I promise no drag racing," she uttered before walking out of the room and into the bathroom.

"Awful late in the morning to be taking a shower," Rhonda spoke as Jamie walked into the kitchen. As she was washing the dishes while Ben slept in his baby swing, she and David had saved when Suzie was a baby.

"She's going out with friends," Jamie informed her as he pulled out the makings for a sandwich.

"Would you mind making one for Suzie? It is about lunchtime," Rhonda spoke as her hand moved over the plate from that morning's breakfast. A motherly smile formed on her lips as Jamie didn't put up a fuss when he got another small plate out and made another one for his sister. Her heart swelled when she heard Jamie's voice calling Suzie to the table; she was so glad the two of them were bonding so well. She might have lost her son's love due to how she and David went about their affair when she was married to Jamie's father, Darriel, before he was untimely killed. That didn't mean that her love for her son had been lost; it was the opposite; ever since Jamie had been gone, she's missed her son all the more. She knew David was worried and scared having Krissy so far from home, just as she was about Jamie. Yet she knew Hugo and Marla were keeping a very keen eye on them, so she knew both of them would be safe under their care. Listening to Suzie chatting away with Jamie as they ate their lunch.

"I'll be back later," Rhonda turned her head towards the dining room at the sound of Krissy's voice, "I promise I'll be safe," she tried not to get teary-eyed at how sweet and loving Krissy sounded before their kiss filled the air. Looking over when Ben started to cry.

"What's the matter, my sweet baby?" Rhonda cooed as she held her son, checking his diaper and seeing that it was still dry. "Jamie, will you watch Suzie while I feed your brother?" she asked, without waiting for an answer before walking into the living room, turning on the TV so she had something to keep her occupied while Ben suckled. Turning her head, peering back towards the dining room, watching Suzie following after Jamie as he walked back down the hall. "Jamie, what are you doing?" Rhonda spoke as she stood in the hallway with Ben in her arms; as she noted how Jamie walked out of Suzie's room, his arms loaded down with clothes, with Suzie hot on his heels, helping as best as she could with a rather smaller stack of clothes.

"Moving, Suzie," Jamie said plainly. He had promised Krissy he would try to keep his snarky attitude to a minimum.

"Oh? David was going to start on it tonight, but thank you, honey. Suzie, you don't get in your brother's way, mmmkay?"

"Yes, mommy," Suzie uttered with a bright smile on her face.

******

"So, how are you and Jamie getting along?" Dafne asked as they waited for their lunch to arrive.

"Oh, you know we had some moments, but it's better than I could ever hope," Krissy stated, taking a sip of her drink.

"How's the sex?" Missy asked with a coy grin on her lips.

"Oh, you should see my man in action; oh, wait, you have," Krissy teased.

"I have," Missy cooed with a knowing smirk.

"And you're dad doesn't know that you two got hitched?" Dafne asked, looking at her friend suspiciously.

"No, he and Rhonda were all on us to wait, but I know Jamie is the one that I'm going to be with forever," Krissy said, looking around the table.

"You sure? I mean, I bet you've seen a lot of hot guys down at that beach, given the tan I see you sporting. Don't you want to sample them?" Dafne asked, not to berate her friend, just to understand why Krissy felt the need to attach herself permanently to Jamie.
