Part 15
2014 – Jessie's Apartment
-------------------------------------
Grace threw her bag down on Jessie's couch then turned to face her husband who was grumbling from his position behind her.
"I'm pretty sure Jessie didn't give us that key so that we could just invite ourselves over for breakfast whenever we wanted," Eli started rooted just inside the doorway. "We should…"
"We're already here, so the damage is done," Grace said sighing. "Besides it'd hardly be a surprise breakfast if we called her and had her buy groceries before hand," she continued shaking her head at him.
"I'm just saying…" Eli started knowing that Jessie wouldn't find this to be one of those fun surprises.
"Can you put the stuff in the kitchen, I'm going to go get her up," Grace said already heading down the hallway to the bedroom ignoring Eli's grumbles.
"Surprise!" Grace called smiling flinging Jessie's bedroom door open, stopping dead in her tracks the moment she stepped in the room. Jessie's sheets were strewn all over the floor, while Jessie herself stood off to the side of the room near the open bathroom door in a towel that just barely covered the essentials rubbing her hair dry, while a very naked woman laid sprawled out on her stomach on Jessie's bed, a towel thrown loosely over her waist barely covering her posterior end from Grace's view. "Oh. My. God," Grace ground out staring at Jessie wide eyed as her stepsister simply blinked at her.
"Grace," Jessie said slowly, just as surprised to see her stepsister as Grace was to have walked in on the scene she walked in on.
"I'm so sorry," Grace muttered backing out of the room. "I'll just be," she continued jerking her thumb towards the living room. "I'll just leave you two too…whatever," she went on before closing the door and heading back down the hall.
"What's going on?" Katie asked raising her head sleepily, blinking at the blurry form that was Jessie. She thought she heard voices, and really hoped that they weren't in her head.
"Grace is here," Jessie said her attention still on her now closed bedroom door.
"What?" Katie asked flipping over then drawing her legs up to cover her chest when she realized she was naked, and then yanking the towel in front of her to try and cover anything else that might have been visible.
"Oh don't bother with that," Jessie said smirking. "She's gone. And she saw you in all your glory," she continued flinging her wet hair towel at Katie.
"What…gone where…my glory…" Katie said plucking the towel off of her head and looking over at Jessie.
"You should probably put some clothes on," Jessie said ripping off the towel she had around her body as she stepped into closet. "She's waiting for us in the living room."
"…with a naked woman ON the bed. Naked," Grace said emphatically gesturing to Eli.
"Yeah," Eli responded, happy that Jessie finally seemed to be getting some. He was secure enough with himself to admit that his sister was rather foxy, and her complete lack of a love life over the years was really a disservice to humankind as far as he was concerned. "That's kind of what she does," he continued earning a hearty slap from a flustered Grace.
Eli laughed for a moment grabbing her hands and stopping her from beating him before sensing another presence in the room and turning around. Looking up, he saw his sister dressed in pair of faded jeans and a form fitting white t-shirt, and a woman with impossibly long legs in shorts and a tank top. A woman who kind of looked like…
"Katie?" Grace asked stepping forward to get a better look at the woman beside Jessie. Katie Singer? Grace thought to herself. Had they entered the Twilight zone? Oh hell, that meant she'd just seen Katie Singer naked. On Jessie's bed. When did they get back together? Geez, she had a nice tan. Jessie was so going to get the third degree hell for telling her that Katie was back in town? Were those the shorts she'd left there?
"Yeah," Katie said shifting uncomfortably under Grace's gaze, wondering what the hell the woman could have been thinking to get an expression like that on her face. "Congratulations," she continued waving at Grace's stomach. Not the most tactful approach, but she wasn't too concerned with tact at that particular moment, she just wanted to not fell completely and utterly uncomfortable.
"Yeah, to you too," Grace muttered her eyes flickering between Katie and Jessie, then back towards the bedroom before she realized what had come out of her mouth turned beet red, stepping back once more. It had been fun to tease Jessie about her love life, but not so much so now that she had actually walked in on it.
"Hey," Eli greeted feeling the need to say something, but not sure what would be appropriate under the circumstances. What did one say to woman who had left said sister an emotional wreck and socially retarded her for years as a result of their abrupt break-up, only to emerge ten years later from that same sisters bedroom after having apparently been naked on her bed?
"Hey," Katie replied nodding and smiling at him before her eyes drifted over to Jessie helplessly. This was not how she had planned on spending her morning. Jessie, bed and possibly whipped cream was how she had planned on spending her morning. Was Grace looking at her?
Jessie eyes shifted away from Katie, not quite knowing what to say either, her gaze finally migrating over to the kitchen counter where she could make a pile of have unpacked groceries.
"You know, this really isn't what the key was for," she commented scowling over at her brother. Nothing returned her to a state of equilibrium like picking on her brother.
"I told you," Eli said triumphantly rounding to face Grace who glared him back into silence within seconds.
"Did you really see me naked?" Katie blurted out unable to stand the brief glances Grace was shooting at her.
Grace blinked then opened her mouth only to shut it and blink some more as she flashed back to the bedroom. Really, Katie had beautiful skin.
"Right," Eli said breaking the uncomfortable silence that had formed. "So, ah … we were going to make pancakes."
