I Love Him But I Can't (Scallison)

A Day At Home With A Sister

I woke up to someone shaking my shoulder.

"Five more minutes Scott," I said with a slight groan.

"Not your boyfriend," Lydia's voice says. "But I am your best friend."

I turn over and stretch. "Hey. Schools closed today. Board meetings all morning. Why'd you wake me?"

"You haven't told me anything about what happened after you and Scott left."

I blush and she jumps up and practically body slams me.

"Ow! Lydia, that hurt!"

"Did it hurt the other night? When you got closer to Scott?"

"In the beginning, but he was thoughtful and sweet. He stopped if it seemed like I was in pain. He wouldn't move again until he knew I was comfortable. It was slow but absolutely perfect. I wish I'd been ready sooner."

"I can't believe how lucky we are. We both have great guys and we've never been happier."

I nod and see she's still in her pajamas. "It's only 7. Let's sleep some more."

"Great. Move over. Now, I know we're sisters, but I'm still not your boyfriend so don't try anything."

I laugh and she lays under the covers. Our backs toward each other.

"You're not hanging out with Stiles today?"

She says "He's going to lacrosse practice. Coach is at the meeting so Scott has to run practice. You going to watch him?"

"No, he wants me to rest today. I guess because he has practice. All I know is that I'm gonna spend as much time in this bed as I have."

"You're going to stay in bed without Scott? Is that even possible still? I'm pretty sure you two have been sharing a bed since his custody battle ended."

I chuckle and says "It's not as comfortable but it's still possible."

"Have you two decided on what's gonna happen over the summer?"

"What do you mean?"

"Melissa and he take a trip to a cabin three towns over. Your parents mentioned you all might take a trip to France."

"Oh, that, right. We talked it over and we're gonna call each other every night over Skype. It'll be so hard to be away from him."

"He's coming over tonight, right? Am I gonna have to take Stiles and disappear, because I don't wanna interrupt your alone time with Scott."

"It's not like that. We're just gonna be sleeping."

"Alright, if you say so."

I roll my eyes and turn so I'm laying on my back. "What about you and Stiles? Any summer plans?"

"He's staying here and I'll probably end up in the cabin near Scott and Melissa's. My mom and I usually go to get away from the drama with my dad and school."  She turns and says "You should join us. If you know you don't go to France."
