It had only seemed like they had been asleep for five minutes when the alarm shouted at them to get up. Cosmo rubbed his eyes as one of his sister's slender arms slipped out from beneath the covers and turned the alarm off. He heard her sigh and then her head poked over the top of the quilt.
"Morning." She yawned.
"Morning my little sleepy head."
He kissed her softly and after a few minutes, he broke away.
"Aaw." She groaned.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him in for another kiss. He laughed and went along with it for a bit. He untangled himself from her arms.
"We need to get up." Cosmo said seriously.
"What if I don't want to?" She smiled menacingly.
He looked away from her so she could not tempt him any more but she knew what he was trying to do. She made patterns on his chest with her finger and then moved her hand to his thigh. She stroked his leg up and down. Cosmo closed his eyes and tried to block out his sister's advances. He felt her hot lips on his neck and then on his own. She traced around his lips with her tongue. He opened his mouth and she slipped her tongue into it. She broke away suddenly. He opened his eyes and stared at her.
"Well…come on then…time to go to work."
She burst out laughing as she saw his confused face.
"But you…we…huh?"
Cosmo didn't know what to say.
"What?" Nation shrugged, pretending she didn't know what he was talking about.
"We were just…never mind." He shook his head.
"I think you're still half asleep." She said but she couldn't help smiling.
"We were! I knew it, you naughty girl." Cosmo yelled in triumph.
He grabbed her by the waist and pulled her down onto the bed, tickling her. She laughed manically and rolled around, trying to escape her brother's hands. He stopped tickling her and kissed her, this time he explored her mouth with his tongue.
When they broke apart a few minutes later, they found themselves just lying in each other's arms.
"Come on. We must get ready now." Cosmo whispered in her ear.
"I suppose." Nation sighed.
They dressed in silence, thinking of their wonderful kisses. Cosmo sat back down on the bed as he watched Nation brushing her flaming hair. Her hands twisted it this way and that as she put it up in her usual bun. He couldn't help but be fascinated by the way she made herself up every morning.
"Ready?" He asked her.
"Uh-huh. Let's go." She replied.
They left their room and walked down the corridor towards the wardrobe area.
"I'll go and get started on Janet's dress, send her up to me will you?" He smiled, rubbing his hands together.
"Ok. I'll see if she's up and ready."
With one last kiss, Cosmo patted Nation on the backside and walked off down the corridor. She watched him go and as he rounded the corner she turned and headed for Janet's room. She knocked on the door but there was no answer.
"Janet?" Nation called poking her head round the door.
She wasn't in her room. Nation headed over to the bathroom.
