Mom and Dad were high school sweethearts and got married right out of school. A year later I was born. Mom has always been a shy rather uptight woman, or that is the way I saw her. When I was 18 (and mom 37) dad was killed in an auto accident. She took it real hard. I moved back in from college to help take care of the house and her.
Late at night I would hear mom moaning and crying and it would break my heart. I knew what she needed was to get out and meet people. Maybe even start another relationship.
So I started to be a match maker for my own up tight conservative dressed and meek mother. Not exactly the material to get a man interested, but I sat down with her one morning after hearing those sad moans again.
"Mom, you have to get out and meet people. You can't stay around the house all the time."
"I'm all right. It's just...."
"I know you miss dad."
"Ohhhh, you don't know how much. I think of him late at night."
"Yea, I know. I hear you crying and moaning sometimes late at night."
She suddenly blushed and looked down, her long black hair that is usually in some sort of bun falls across her shoulders and breast. For some reason I took note of her breast and realized how well ..... stacked she was. For a few seconds the conversation ended and then she looked up.
"You heard me? I'm so sorry. I ..... well a woman...."
"It's okay mom I know you still cry over dad."
"Cry? Yes. I do."
"Now back to what I was saying. Look I know a couple of nice guys at the place I work and one of them, Jack was asking about you. You remember him?"
Her eyes seem to look off into the distance before she answered. "He's the tall light haired guy that works in the office?"
"Yes. Not that I would know of course (and I give a little laugh) but he is pretty good looking, makes a good living and I think he might enjoy meeting you."
"Oh, I couldn't. I mean...."
"Yes you could. I'll set it up. You just go out and buy a pretty dress and get your hair done and let your little boy take care of setting up his lovely mom."
This got a smile on her and for the first tie in a long time I could see the beautiful woman that made dad so happy.
It was a little awkward, but once I got the subject open Jack smiled and said he would be happy to take my mom out to dinner and I gave him our phone number. I mean I wasn't going to do all the work.
Two days later mom was walking on air when I came home from class. "Well what's got into you?"
"Nothing ye..... Nothing. Jack called and we are going out tomorrow night for dinner. You got to see the dress I just bought. Wait here and I'll go put it on.
I fixed me some coffee and sat down and turned the TV on in the living room when she came in to the room. It wasn't the same woman. Her hair was down to her shoulders, flowing over her bare shoulders. The dress was a little, well little to me since I've never seen her in anything like that before. Blue, with thin straps and it hugged her waist and flared out and came just above her knees. Dark stocking covered her lovely legs. Did I say lovely? Yea, mom's got legs. Her shoes were matching and showed her cute feet. Was I getting a thing for feet? I gave a wolf whistle and said "Lady, you are hot."
"Why thank you sir. You aren't bad yourself." Then she turned around in it and when facing me again, put her hand on her hip and gave a little wiggle as she walked across the room. "Do you really think this is OK? I mean I haven't worn anything like this in a long time. You don't think he will...well think I'm...you know?"
"Think you are one beautiful woman? I think he will or I'll have his head examined. Where is he taking you?"
"To St. Marie's. It's really a lovely place, good food, dancing."
"Maybe I better have a little talk with him about not getting fresh and having you home on time."
"Yes and maybe I'll have your head examined after I hit it with a frying pan. Don't wait up for you mom."
