"Yoo hoo..."
Blinking himself awake, Clark reached out and fumbled for his glasses.
What the hell?
Then he let out a groan, as it dawned on him. It could only be his mother. And he sure as hell hadn't given her a key to his place so she could wander in and '
yoo hoo'
him awake when he was snuggled in tight with his lady.
Just holding Jamie in his arms had gotten him so hard, and the feel of her hot little pussy on his thigh was enough to make him want to kiss her awake. So, naturally he'd been hoping for a little morning action, especially since they'd just gotten back together after one excruciatingly long week apart.
When he heard her call out again, "Yoo hoo, Clark, are you home?" he rolled his eyes. Talk about a boner killer.
Still half asleep, Jamie blinked her eyes a few times, and whispered, "Oh, my god, Clark, who's that?"
Wincing, he told her, "My mother?"
That woke her up pretty fast. Her eyes as big and round as saucers, she quickly tugged the sheet up to cover herself, scanning the floor for her clothes, which could be anywhere with the way they'd gone at each other last night. Anxiously biting into her lip, she asked, "And what will she think of finding me in your bed with you like this?"
Knowing her, she'd probably break into a happy dance, and start picking names for her unborn grandchildren. She'd been so desperate for him to settle down. Chuckling, he promised, "No worries, it'll be cool." At least he hoped. "But we should probably go out and say hello, or she'll never give up, and probably wind up coming in here to look for me. But I already know she'll be happy to meet you." Probably over the fucking moon would be more like it.
Clark threw on a pair of shorts and a T-shirt, then ran his hands down over Jamie's arms, and took both of her hands in his to try and get her to stop trying smooth the wrinkles out of her rumpled dress. Dropping a quick reassuring kiss to lips, he looked into her eyes and told her, "Relax, Jamie. It'll be okay, I promise."
"If you say so," she muttered, already imagining what his mother would think of her coming out of his bedroom looking all mussed and flustered - probably not much.
But the moment they walked out of his room together, and she got her first look at his mother, amazingly her fears just vanished. A pretty good judge of character, Jamie liked her on sight. Despite the fact she was dressed to the nines, in classic off-white, in what looked like a designer suit, and pricey ivory leather heels, positively dripping with jewelry. The look in her eye and her cute little grin was just so warm and friendly, it instantly put her at ease.
Then his mother's face broke into a big happy smile as she asked, "And who's this lovely girl?"
Jamie smiled right back, and told her, "I'm Jamie." Gazing up at Clark, she decided to leave it up to him to elaborate.
"Hey, Mom," he said, walking over and pulling her in for a hug and pressing a kiss to her cheek. "I didn't know you were in town."
Smiling up at her only child, affectionately patting his darkly bristled jaw, she told him, "I got in late last night, and didn't want to wake you."
Rolling his eyes, he nodded. "Well, thanks for that, I guess." But her damn yoo-hooing was one helluva of a wakeup call this morning.
"So..." Comically wiggling her eyebrows, his mother waited expectantly, eyeing Jamie.
Heaving a heavy sigh, Clark made the introductions. "Mom, this is Jamie Lockhart my..." Smiling at her, he shrugged and said... girlfriend, I guess." Although it didn't seem quite adequate to explain who she was to him. Calling her his
Lady Love
sounded a little hokey and although she
was
the love of his life, he'd never tell his mother that, or she'd be running out the door hunting down a dress for their wedding. Although lately, as he looked her over, he had to admit he'd been warming to the idea of really making her his. But it was still a little early to get his mother, of all people, involved. And finally he finished with, "And Jamie, this lovely lady is my mother, Victoria Philips."
As Jamie ventured closer, extending her hand, Victoria instantly batted it away and pulled her in for a big warm hug, squeezing her tight to her chest. Finally pulling back, his mother gushed, "And aren't you pretty?" Grinning at her son over Jamie's shoulder, she enthusiastically nodded her approval, making him chuckle. And he was glad to see that she seemed to like her, since he felt certain she'd be seeing her again. Especially with the week they'd just gone through over Jamie wondering if he was about to cut her loose, which was the last thing he'd ever do - since at this point, he was so far into her, that he'd rather cut off his own arm.
Thankfully for Jamie, Danny Chang, her boss at the bank, who was now thrilled to death with her since Clark had thrown so much more business his way, had texted her the night before and suggested she meet Clark for breakfast to go over his account. And he'd even told her not to worry about rushing into work, and mentioned she could even have the day off if she wanted. So Jamie decided if she stayed over at Clark's place, at some point they'd be eating together before she had to go back to the office - and probably talking a little business, too. But her boss didn't need to know that they'd been up most of the night, going crazy on each other - doing their best to make up for the week they'd been apart. Which was how she'd wound up staying the night and meeting his mother in the morning.
In an effort to put Jamie at ease rather than just standing around awkwardly staring at each other, Clark suggested, "Hey, why don't we go in the kitchen and have some breakfast, or at least some coffee."
His mother nodded and slipped her arm through Jamie's, walking with her to the kitchen, she murmured into her ear, "So, tell me all about yourself, Jamie."
Overhearing her already nosing around for information, Clark cut in and explained the basics. "Actually, Jamie works at a bank, she's an investment strategist, and she's new to Hong Kong."
Blinking, his mother just nodded. "Well, then it's nice you met my son right away, isn't it?"
Jamie gave his mother an uncomfortable smile, wondering what she'd think if she knew they'd basically hopped off the plane and straight into bed, since they were pretty much combustible from the moment they'd first set eyes on each other. So it was no surprise things turned out the way they did. Like Clark had said, they took one look at each other across the plane aisle, and just knew...
Smiling warmly at her, his mother tipped her head and said, "You know - you have to have the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen - the color of violets, how extraordinary. And what color are your parent's eyes, are either of them like yours?"
Shaking his head and rolling his own eyes, Clark jumped in again, before Jamie could even open her mouth to answer. "Hey Mom, I'm guessing you got your usual room at the Peninsula, right? You settled in okay?"
"Of course," she told him, looking confused, no doubt wondering why he'd changed the subject to where she was staying. Then she whispered to Jamie, "It's always nice to come visit my son, but I don't like to be underfoot, so it works out better if I stay in a hotel."
Jamie could understand that, deciding his mother was a smart lady, since having her stay at his place would definitely cramp his style - and hers now, too, since she wouldn't feel much like getting crazy with Clark with his mother sleeping in the next room. "Probably a good idea," she agreed with a smile.
Hearing that, Clark whole-heartedly nodded his agreement. Although he loved his mother - with him being the only child she had to dote on - she could get a little intense at times, to say the least.
His mother squeezed Jamie's arm tight against hers, smiling into her eyes. "You should come and have tea with me, Jamie. Have you gotten a chance to experience afternoon tea at the Peninsula?"
