Jon blinked a few times at this revelation, and as he did it was like a filter was being removed before his eyes. The muscular body he’d seen moments before seemed to melt away, leaving his sister standing topless in front of him. Her hair had been cut short, like Linda’s had been, and she had a wicked smirk on her face.
“Zoe?!?” Jon gasped, “what the hell, why did you kiss me?” He added.
“Oh come on Jon,” Zoe sighed, folding her arms, “we’ve been waiting ages for Mom to tap out with you, and that’s the first thing you ask?”
“Ages?” Jon asked, feeling more confused.
“Ok fine, maybe not ages, but I’ve been dad for about a week now, I thought she’d never do it!” Zoe replied.
“A week?” Jon exclaimed, “sorry Zoe, I’m still confused. How come you’re dad in the first place?” he said, feeling honesty was the best policy here.
“Are you serious right now?” Zoe asked, concern flashing in her expression, “oh no, did you make a stupid wish on that stone? Have you forgotten everything?”
“Not everything” Jon lied, “I know Mom and I have this ‘Tap-out’ thing. But I didn’t know anyone could do it”
“Oh Jon!” Zoe said gently, “I told you to be careful with that thing. Want me catch you up” she added kindly, taking a seat next to him on the bed.
“Yeah… sure” Jon nodded slowly
“Ok, well firstly, not everyone can Tap out, you can with mom, and I can with dad.” She said plainly, “You started your thing with mom, and I caught you out one time, and to buy my silence I made you wish that dad would do the same thing with me, same rules and everything. We’re the only ones that know about… this” she added, making a gesture between the two of them.
“Ok…” Jon replied, starting to get a mental picture of how that would have gone down,
“Yeah, so anyway, we spent about a week together as mom and dad, and neither of them knew about each other. But we… we really connected it was nice to feel close to you” She continued.
“Connected?” Jon asked, afraid of what the answer might be., “what do you mean?”
“You’ve forgotten that too?” Zoe asked, a sad look coming to her eye, “Oh Jon, it was great, we did everything as a couple, we had movie nights, we cooked meals together. Hell we even had a date night…that was really fun!” She smiled to herself as she seemed to stare off into space.
“A date night?” Jon asked incredulously, “Wait…did we…” he trailed off as he saw the smirk appear on Zoe’s face again.
“Oh yeah, we had a few drinks, and one thing led to another” she said dreamily, then seeing the look on his face she rolled her eyes, “We’ve always said it’s not wrong. When we’re like this we’re not siblings, we’re husband and wife!” She added, waggling her ring finger at him. Jon glanced down at his mom’s wedding ring, sitting on his own finger. He felt Zoe’s hand reach out and brush his longer hair out of his face. The tenderness he felt from this action made him feel cared for by her.
“Maybe telling you about it isn’t the best way” she mused, “it’d probably be better to show you.” She added, as she placed her palm on the back of his head and pulled him towards her. Their lips connected and he felt Zoe kissing him passionately. He suddenly felt a rush of strange emotions and sensations rush through his body as once, then before he even realised it, he was kissing her back.
