Alex sighed and looked at the two of them, but they seemed to be genuinely clueless. “Oh, come on,” she said. “You guys know this.”
They both looked over and stared at her expectantly.
“Know what?” her mother finally asked.
“You know… Toni’s… ability. How she forces me to do things she wants me to do,” Alex said.
They both looked confused. She sighed, glancing back and forth between them.
“Are you guys just messing with me tonight?” she asked. They both glanced at each other and then back at her.
“Sweetheart, we don’t know what you’re talking about,” her dad said. “Toni blackmails you or something?”
Alex sighed, shaking her head. “No, it’s different. It’s like… when she was little, she would do something bad and then would tell me to take the blame for it.” She sighed, seeing that she was going to have to explain it more directly. “When she addresses me directly and uses a specific tone of voice with an order, my brain just kind of… agrees to it.”
They both had one eyebrow raised staring at her. “Honey…” her mom said.
“I’m not lying,” she spat.
“No, we know, Honey,” her mom said, holding her again. “It’s just a little hard to believe.”
“I don’t get it,” her dad added. “She just tells you to do something… and you do it?”
She sighed an shook her head. “No, it’s more like… she’ll tell me that I want to give her my fries or something. It can even be when I’m clearly not wanting to do whatever she is telling me, and suddenly I’m just super-happy and excited to do what she wanted me to do. After I’ve completed it, I go back to my original state and usually get mad at her.”
Both her mother and father still looked skeptical. “I can prove it to you,” she said, sighing at them. “She should be home pretty soon.”
“You know, this would explain why Alex was always in trouble and taking the blame for things,” Claire said. “It was like you were just not going to let her get a spanking.”
Alex nodded. “That was Toni being a brat… and also my protectiveness of her, but mostly her being a brat. But… she’s never made me do anything dangerous, or illegal.”
Her dad was still processing the information. “So… it’s like a very specific superpower?” he asked.
Alex shrugged. “I guess, though it’s kinda lame if it only works on me. I’ve always thought that it was because we’re twins. I’ve read about some really weird twins out there.”
He nodded, then turned back and started watching TV again as Alex resumed relaxing with them. She was still weirded out about how nonchalant they were about the knowledge of where their three daughters were working.
About ten minutes later, Toni arrived home. She went inside and immediately started up the stairs. Her dad turned and winked at Alex, then yelled over his shoulder. “Antonia, come in here!”
Her footsteps stopped and she turned, stepping back down the stairs. She leaned over and peered into the living room. “I’m gonna go change,” she said. “I’ll be right back down.”
“No, come in here now,” he replied. She sighed audibly. “Dad, come on, I’m tired. Can’t this wait?”
He didn’t respond, and Alex knew Toni would think he was angry.
She sighed again, then trudged down the steps. Alex could see the baggy shirt that she was wearing over her work top and smirked, noticing how ridiculous they looked for the first time.
Coming around, she looked at him, then Alex, then her mother. “What?” she asked, exasperated.
“So how was work?” he asked.
“Fine,” she said. “Can I go change?”
He shook his head. “Go ahead and pull that goofy looking over-shirt off. We know where you work.”
Toni’s eyes went wide for a second and then she sat down. Stammering out three sentences all at once, she suddenly stopped babbling and looked in near panic at Alex.
“They know already,” Alex said. “They’ve known for awhile. Apparently, we’re not as clever as we think we are.”
Toni’s gaze hardened and she glared at Alex. “You told them didn’t you!” she yelled.
“Toni,” her father said, raising his hand to calm her. “Calm down, you aren’t in trouble.”
Toni immediately calmed and looked at him. “I’m not?” she asked.
He explained what he had said to Alex again and sat back. “Now, I just want to see how revealing this uniform is.”
She looked just as confused as Alex had, but then seemed to just accept it with a shrug and pulled her shirt off, revealing the low-cut red blouse that she wore to work in.
“Aww, that’s cute,” her mom said. “I mean, it’s very low cut, but it’s not nearly as bad as I thought when I wash them.”
Their dad was nodding. “It’s nice,” he said. “I mean, I’d rather you work somewhere else, but you’re adults now.” He turned and looked at her directly. “Is it true that Samantha was working there first?”
Toni looked directly at Alex for a moment, and then nodded. “Yeah,” she said.
He sat back, smiling. “Will wonders never cease!”
After a few seconds of awkward silence, Toni finally asked, “Can I go now?”
Their father shook his head. “I’m curious about this superpower you apparently have,” he said.
Toni raised an eyebrow, then looked at her twin. “What is he talking about?”
Alex smirked. “How you make me do things,” she explained. “Order me to do something that you know I wouldn’t want to do.”
Toni sighed, rolling her eyes. “I’m being kept from a shower and bed for this?” she asked no one in particular. “This is stupid,” she said, looking at the three.
“Your being able to do this is something very interesting,” their mother said. “We’re not angry. We just want to see.”
Toni finally nodded and fell silent as she thought about what to do.
Alex briefly wondered what she could possibly have her do and wondered if it was going to be embarrassing or get her into trouble.
Looking up, Toni said, “Slap yourself,” but did so softly and not looking at her twin.
Alex raised an eyebrow. “You have to do it right,” she said. “They just want…”
“Alex,” Toni said loudly, looking direct at her and interrupting her. “Slap yourself as hard as you can.”
Of course she would do that! What a splendid idea! Alex immediately reached up with one hand and slapped the bejesus out of her own face.
“Motherfucker!” Alex said a second later. “Toni, you bitch,” she said clutching at her cheek.
“I couldn’t think of anything more believable than that!” she replied.
Alex stood and started toward her.
“You told me to!” Toni said, backing up.
“I don’t know,” their dad said. “That looked really painful, but I think that could be faked.”
Alex was clutching her cheek as her mother left and then returned with a cold compress.
“Damnit, Toni,” Alex said. “You could have made me confess something.”
She shook her head. “Unless you see it in action, no one believes it. I mean, I could have told to like.. go break the TV but I’d be in trouble for that.”
He smirked. “Well, I’ll keep a lookout for that now,” he said, smiling. “Little sneak,” he said, waving his hand and beckoning Toni over. “No wonder you never got in trouble as a kid.”
She smirked, then broke out into a smile as he pulled her down into his lap, reaching over and grabbing Alex too. They both laughed as he squeezed them, then laid their heads on both of his shoulders for a few minutes.
“Now you can go change,” he said, letting her up.
Alex stood with her as the two went upstairs. “Love you,” Toni called as she left.
“Thanks for the talk,” Alex said. “And thanks for being understanding about work.”
“Just be careful,” their father said. “And… let Sam know that she doesn’t have to keep hiding her uniform,” he said. “Poor thing will have a heart attack if we tell her.”
Alex snickered. “Will do. Love you guys.”
“Night sugar,” he said.
“Night honey,” her mother added.
Alex quickly went upstairs and followed Toni into her room, catching her as she started to untie the knot between her breasts.
“I’m sor…” Toni started, but was interrupted by Alex as she rushed forward and kissed her. “… ry,” Toni finished, smiling at her. “Did that slap turn you on?” she asked.
Alex shook her head. “No, I’ve just been horny all damn afternoon and no one has been home.”
Toni snickered. “Well, sorry,” she said. “I was working. Let me get a shower and I’ll come and take care of you, okay?” She turned as she stripped the blouse off, then started to unzip her skirt. Alex smirked and turned, heading for her own room to impatiently wait for her twin sister to come eat her pussy.
*****
Sam
Sleep caught her quickly, but it was restless and she was a little worn down in the morning. A soft knock on her door caught her attention and she called out for them to come in. Alex poked her head in and stepped through.
“Got a second?” she asked.
Sam nodded. “Sure,” she said.
Alex came over, a concerned look on her face. “You okay?” she asked.
Sam nodded. “Just didn’t sleep well. The Logans saw me at work last night.” She glanced furtively at Alex.
She nodded in response. “They say something?”
Sam shook her head. “No, I was working Kimber’s section and they…”
“What?” Alex asked interrupting her. “They made you work the topless section?”
Sam shrugged. “I agreed to take the shift before I knew what section it was, but it was fine until the very last part of the night. Mr. Logan came up and grabbed my breast, but Mrs. Logan slapped his hand away and then flirted with me.”
“Oh, sweetie,” Alex said. “I’ll tell him to knock it off,” she said.
Sam shrugged. “Honestly, it wasn’t a big deal. I was more afraid of someone Mom and Dad knew seeing me. I started to have the same old anxiety issues again after that.”
She nodded. “Are you okay now?” she asked.
Sam nodded, looking up at her. “I’m good, just sleepy. What’s up?”
