I woke up around noon that Tuesday. The long holiday weekend was over and I had three days to regroup and recharge. I had on my standard pajamas - a long T-shirt which came down to mid-thigh and short cotton shorts.
I lumbered down the stairs and into the kitchen to grab a coffee; however, the pot was empty.
"Good morning Misses Kelly," came a voice from behind me.
It was Courtney's mother, June.
"Go sit down honey. I'll brew you a fresh pot."
"Thanks," I replied and I went and flung myself down on the sofa.
"Where's Courtney?" I asked.
"Her and Jason went to grab lunch and then head to the pool."
Courtney's mother was short and an old looking forty-nine years old. Her hair was blond and thin. Her skin was tan but starting to wrinkle, especially around her chest and arms. Her skin screamed of over-tanning and lack of maintenance. From what I could tell she had big breasts but they had begun to sag. I dreaded the day mine would start doing the same.
She walked over and handed me a coffee before joining me on the sofa.
"So, do you have a boyfriend?"
Wow, she really had no filter. She went right to the gossip.
"No."
"So who was the guy you had sex with Sunday?"
"Umm, I didn't have sex Sunday." Technically it had been Monday morning so I wasn't lying.
"Honey, your tit was hanging out and I could smell the sex on you when you walked by me. I'm not June Cleaver. I've been around the block a few times myself."
"June who?"
"Nevermind. So what was it, a one night stand?"
"No. It was just a friend."
"A friend with benefits. Lovely. Does he treat you well?"
"Yes," I lied.
"Good. Too many men down here take advantage of the women down here. I know, I lived here twenty years ago. Is he boyfriend material?"
"No. Definitely not."
"Then he must be a good fuck if you're giving him the key to your castle anyway."
I struggled to respond to that but fortunately I didn't have to.
