Candice
After several seconds of staring at me with hooded eyes, the boy cleared his throat and reached out his hand.
"Hi Mrs, Miller, you may not remember me, I am Courtney's friend, we met once at the annual cook-off a couple of years ago."
I examined the boy closely but he did not look familiar.
Seeing my confused expression the boy shifted from one foot to the other on my doorstep and tried again, "I am Jackson, Lily Holbrooks is my mother."
Letting my guard down I smiled and took the boys' extended hand, "Oh yes, Lily's boy, you must be here for Courtney, she just went running a few errands but will be back shortly, come in."
Escorting Jackson to the living room, I told him to have a seat and asked him if he would like anything to drink and he requested lemonade. Sitting the cup and coaster down on the end table I took a seat across from him wondering how I should entertain this unexpected guest.
"So, what has your mother been up to lately," I asked, although I could really care less about Lily and her snobbish attitude.
The boy took a sip of his lemonade and smiled, "It tastes just like you made it at the cook-off," he said ignoring my question. His stare was incessant as he examined me with an intensity that made me pause.
Is he checking me out? I thought in disbelief. No, he is here for Courtney.
Shaking off an uneasy feeling, I tucked a piece of hair behind my ear and bit my lower lip. Clearing my throat I gave off a forced laugh, "Is my lemonade that memorable?"
He gave it another sip, not breaking his gaze for a second. Setting the cup back on its coaster he smiled," It is a very special recipe."
The way he was looking at me, I was almost certain he wasn't talking about the lemonade. I started to regret my decision for letting this young boy into my home.
He couldn't be more than 21-years-old, standing over six-foot-tall, he had what I would call a swimmers body. His eyes were dark, so dark they appeared black and most women would envy his eye-lashes. He was very attractive and any young girl would appreciate it, but I was old enough to be his mother, in fact, I was two years older than his actual mother.
I pulled out my cell phone and sent Courtney a quick message, letting her know that her friend was here and to hurry up with errands. She quickly texts back saying she would return within 30 minutes. I relayed that information to the boy, sliding over the remote to the television and got up to go back to my home office.
"I am sorry I cannot keep you company, but I have some important work to catch up with," I said, "if you need anything I will be just down the hall to the left"
Jack
As I watch my dream woman walk away, hips swaying in a pair of tight jeans, I repositioned the bulge in my pants. I didn't move from my seat, because I needed to get my heart to stop slamming against my chest and settle my pacing mind.
I met Candice seven years ago when I was still a sophomore in high school; unlike my mother, she was very active in her daughter's schooling. She participated in every teacher's conference, every sporting event, and was on the PTA.
I would never forget the day she knocked on our door, wearing a plain white t-shirt and tight flower-patterned leggings, clutching a huge folder to her chest, hiding her large tits. Her smile was blinding when I answered the door.
"You must be Jackson," she said, "I'm Courtney's mom, I am here to speak to your mother, is she in."
Stammering I gripped the knob tightly.
She's so fucking beautiful, I thought.
"Lily," I called out to my mother.
"Jackson, I am busy, what is it?"
"You have a visitor," I yelled. I could see Courtney's mother frown of disapproval when I called my mother by her first name. Lily didn't like being referred to as a mother, she said it was unnatural and made her feel old.
"Candice Clark," Lily gasped, coming to stand next to me. "Is that really you?"
"Do we know each other," Candice said curiously, peering closely at Lily trying to place where she knew her.
"It's me, Lily Holbrooks," she said. "We went to Morehill together, I was a couple of classes behind you but we both dated Danny...you remember Danny, Danny Miller?"
I watched as Candice smile slowly slipped from her face and for a short period, almost as if I imagined it, a flash of anger replaced the smile.
"Oh, yes," Candice said, her smile back in place, "I remember you now... and so does Danny." She adjusted her hand and it was hard not to miss the huge diamond on her ring finger.
"Where are my manners," said Lily, her voice tensed, "come in, have a seat."

"What brings you to my home," asked Lily, crossing her bare legs, showing off her thighs. I watched my mother size up Candice with a look of disdain. She always looked down at anyone that didn't come from a wealthy background and felt that she was superior to anyone that couldn't stand up to the good old' Holbrook's legacy, even though she had nothing to do with my grandfather's business.
Reaching inside her folder, Candice pulled out a flyer and handed it to my mother. "I am asking all parents to participate in this new charitable event to help with the school's scholarship program for underprivileged children," she said with excitement, ignoring the disinterested look on Lily's face, she continued.
"It will not only bring in funds to the scholarship, but it will help establish an after school program that will allow the kids the opportunity to participate in sports and other extra-curriculum activities, fostering equality amongst all students."
I couldn't help but admire Candice as she went on describing the program. Her hands were expressive and when she started shaking her head, loose strands of hair fell from her sloppy ponytail. I wanted so much to reach out and fix her hair in place but I stayed silent while watching the transaction.
Throwing her head back in laughter, Lily tossed the flyer carelessly on the coffee table. "Candice, do you seriously think that those children have a shot in life just because of a few measly donations?"
Crossing her hands over her chest she continued, "Why would you waste time on a lost cause, I can't believe this is what you've been up to all of these years."
Picking the paper off the coffee table calmly, Candice placed the flyer back in her folder. "So, I see you haven't changed in all of these years," she said, her voice low with controlled anger. She looked like she wanted to say more, but she glanced at me and fixed her face. Standing up to leave she made one more last pitch to Lily. "Well, you are still welcomed to attend the festival we're having to raise the funds."
