For privacy reasons I have to keep these people's names anonymous. The father will be named John and the children Sarah and Shaun. Thank you for understanding.

Sarah awoke to a partly sunny day, Monday morning.She groaned in annoyance lazily swinging her legs off her bed and onto the floor bringing her to a sitting position. Wiping at her sleepy eyes she hauls herself to the restroom. Quickly she awakened and got dressed and prepared herself for the day.

Shaun awoke to a downcast rainy day, Monday morning. He curled up into a ball and began to cry, silent tears rolling down his face. After awhile he got up and began to dress for the day.

The same father. Different wives/mothers. Sibling rivalry and the fact that they didn't know the other half-sibling existed.

They met on a Friday afternoon in a quaint, little cafe on third street. A conversation started between the two and the realization that similar interests were shared. It began as meet ups in the cafe, then movies, then fancy restaurants, and finally, it came to their first kiss. It became heated very quickly and turned into a makeout session. It should've ended there. But it didn't, it became intense with lust, desire, and passion.It became more.So much more. And the next morning they awoke to several phone calls. They realized that it was the same number. And that John was both of their fathers'. Hastily, clothes were put on and soon Sarah was on her way home. The rest of the day was spent wallowing in self pity and disgust. Why is it we want what we cannot have?

Just...Why?
