Chapter 7

The next day wasn't any less awkward although they had both stopped hiding. Justin didn't understand it, the potion couldn't be affecting her that strongly, if he was able to show some restraint then so should she.

He confronted her over lunch.

"Alex what the hell is going on between us? You aren't even trying to fight it. It's like you want us to be together or something. Did you just miss the part where, that's wrong because you're my little sister. What's with you?"

Alex cringed. She hadn't expected to be called on this. All her careful planning was backfiring. He still thought of her as his little sister. She decided to try to play dumb. "I don't know what you mean. The way the potion makes me feel, I just can't help it. Don't you feel the same?"

"That's bullshit."

"Excuse me?"

"Yeah, you heard me. That's bullshit. I had the potion spilled on me two and I am not all over you like some slut. I can show some self control. You're just playing some twisted little game with me aren't you. Well I've had it. We are going to get the antidote even if we have to break into that cabinet and this is going to stop."

Alex was hurt, her big brother had just called her a slut. It wasn't that she couldn't control her feelings it was just that she didn't want to. He was clearly repulsed by her sick attraction. She was such a pervert, trying to get her older brother to take advantage of her. She couldn't help it she started crying.

Justin didn't want to cave in to her tears. He wasn't sure that it wasn't just some act, but the tears they were always his kryptonite. He couldn't help it he folded.

"It's okay Alex. Don't cry. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be so harsh. I'm just confused about these feelings and I'm frustrated. I guess I'm just taking it out on you."

He knew it was a terrible idea, but he hugged her anway. Although, he did remember what happened the last time they had hugged like this. Part of him did wish that it would happen again, he would kiss her and she would melt into his arms and they could forget all this serious talk about being related.

Alex looked up and Justin, blinking away tears. He was such a perfect big brother, he cared and loved her. Why did she have to take that brotherly love and twist it? Why did she have to do such stupid things like make love potions to make her get over her not-so-sisterly love for her brother.

She looked so hurt and grateful and he could see the guarded hero worship in her eyes, he threw caution to the wind and kissed her. Alex pushed him back surprised. "What are you doing? You just gave me a whole high and mighty, righteous, better than thou speech about how we can't keep doing this. And here we are doing this again. All because you started it."

"I started it. Ha! You started it with your big brown eyes full of tears and your womanly wiles. Getting me to feel all guilty and sorry for you. It's all your fault."

"Fine. But we are ending it here. You were right, it's time to stop waiting and find that damn antidote and get things back to normal."

"Right. I'm going to go do some more Internet research and you are going to go put on a top that isn't cut to your navel!"

"You know you like this top...Don't deny it."

"Alex!"

"Fine, go on and spoil my fun." She did secretly agree with him, this top didn't leave much to the imagination. Maybe it was just a bit too slutty.
