Annie opened her eyes the next morning to find that the sun was already up and smiling through the gauzy curtains. The sisters had stayed up late with television, snacks and conversation. Big Sis had called once last night to check on things.
Other than that, what had happened could pretty much be deduced from the state of the room. Glasses and plates, food crumbs and packaging and bathrobes were strewn about the place, especially around the bed that the sisters had shared.
Pity the housekeeping student who would be tasked with cleaning the sisters' mess.
Second Sis was asleep next to her. They had been sleepy and neither of them had been willing to climb out of the bed and into the other. Annie wished she had as Sis had been pushing outwards with her limbs, claiming as much space as possible. This forced the smaller girl to sleep in awkward positions, at times with an elbow under her or between the vice-like grip of Carrie's knees. Once, she had awoken to find herself under Sis' weight.
Pity the unfortunate husband who would one day sleep with her.
It would be funny to undo Sis' pajamas before she wakes. Her reaction would be one to watch. First, she would be horrified. Then she would be indignant. After that, she would inflict unspeakable physical violence on all witnesses in the room.
Pity the fool who would go through with that idea!
"What are you doing shaking?" Second Sis mumbled sleepily. She fumbled for her handphone beside the bed for a look at the time. "Oh! It's already late."
Carrie pulled herself out of the bed. Annie followed just after. As the little girl tried to stretch away the sores of her uncomfortable sleep, her sister grabbed her sweats and claimed the bathroom, chanting "Breakfast!" over and over. A moment later, she was done changing. She took a coupon for breakfast, tossed her pajamas onto her bag and left for the hotel's dining room.
Which left the shower free for Annie.
A shower in the morning would be refreshing. And this morning, she could take her time with it since there was no rush to prepare for school. It felt great to have running water warm her up after a night in a cozy bed. She felt alive, ready for the excitement of a new day.
Annie stepped out of the shower into the steamy bathroom. As she toweled herself dry, she thought of her outfit for the day. Her first thought was slacks. However, Second Sis had been telling her that she was cute in a skirt. There were the families of the other students too, so maybe it would be charming to be cute. Fortunately, she had packed a denim skirt and a pair of stockings.
As Annie was drying her long black hair, she heard the room door open. Was Second Sis back from breakfast already? Maybe Second Sis had the same idea about Annie's clothes and was here to make her wear a skirt for the day. Oh yeah, Second Sis was wearing sweats earlier and probably felt unattractive. Maybe she saw some cute guy and wished she was better dressed.
Annie could go out now and unsettle her sister further with a little sisterly nudity. Then again, maybe it was not a good idea to invite more pinches.
There was also the possibility that Second Sis would suddenly enter the bathroom. The door was not locked. Yeah, like that would happen! Second Sis knew Annie well enough that she would take a morning shower. She would definitely call out first before trying the room door. Why, the chances of Second Sis suddenly coming in was just as likely as...
The bathroom door opened.
