Carpe Diem

Part one: My angel, My sister, My bitch
:: Lens POV ::
There was a sense of innocence about her that made her so . . . alluring.
I shook my head and tried to forget what I just thought. This was my sister I was talking about!
Er-Len? Why are you staring at me like that? She asked
~
It was a regular school night when, on the way to get her fill of ice cream, Mei kissed me on the cheek.
What was that for? I asked blushing
I dunno, she said giggling
~
To get back at her for the joke she pulled on me the other day I gave her a little peck on the cheek.
What the-? What was that for? she asked me touching the spot on her cheek that I kissed.
I dont know I shrugged
~
It had become a habit for us. Sort of a little joke between Mei and I.
One night while we were in the library studying I decided to annoy Mei just for the hell of it.
So I leaned over and kissed her. Unexpectedly she turned to me to ask a question.
I accidentally kissed her lips. Hers brushing against mine for two seconds before we pulled away.
Mei, I . . . I said, blushing
What was that for? she smirked. When she did I knew everything was alright.
I dont know I replied shrugging
~
We never spoke of that night. No one ever knew that I had kissed my own sister.
But a part of me was disappointed. I actually did want to kiss her. Not a two-second-mouths-pursed-closed lip brush. An actual kiss.
I already got a taste of her and, as strange as it seemed, I wanted more.
I loved everything about her. The sound of her laughter, the sparkle in her eyes, the way she says my name, the feel of her velvet lips on my own.
But I wasnt going to go and take her. Never.
She is my little angel. I wasnt going to taint her innocence with my forbidden love.
It was my job as her brother to keep her an innocent little angel and to protect her from whoever wanted to hurt her.
But temptation kills. Especially since locking her bedroom door isnt one of her habits.
I was torn between loving her and protecting her. Two things, I realised, that werent so different.
