"What do you mean you two are getting a divorce?" asked Pete, "Was it something I did?"
Audrey shook her head slowly. She knew Pete would think that way. Most children think that if their parents get a divorce or separate, it's their fate. But it's not. It's the parents fault. More importantly, it was Jason's fault.
"It's not because of you sweetie," Audrey stated softly, "Your father and I...just can't make our marriage work anymore."
"I still don't understand mom," Pete said.
Audrey sighs and sits next to Pete on the couch. She can tell he was about to cry and pulls him into a hug. Stiffling his growing sobs, as she gently strokes his hair.
"Your father...did a very bad thing," Audrey said, "something that I can't forgive him for."
"W-What d-did dad d-d-do?" stammered Pete.
Audrey sighs again and looks into her son's face. She had to tell him.
"Tell him!" a voice shouted in her head, "Pete deserves to know what his father did!"
"Do you remember when I made that special dinner for dad last year?" Audrey asked.
Pete nods his head.
"Your anniversary," he then said.
"Well...your father forgot all about it," Audrey stated.
"You can do this!" she told herself.
"Forgot our anniversary," Audrey continued, "because he was..."
Tears welled up in her eyes.
"Say it damnit!" she scolded herself.
Pete pats her hand, as if reassuring her.
"It's okay mom," he said, "I think I understand now."
Audrey sniffles and composes herself afterwards.
"That's why we are getting a divorce sweetie," she then said.
"Do you think you could forgive him?" Pete asks, "Like give him a second chance?"
She ponders that question a bit, then shakes her head. Then stares daggers at Jason across the room, who was silently listening to the whole conversation. Staring at the floor, just like on Christmas. He was beaten and Jason knew it.
She planned on Ben staying over on Christmas night and show Jason, that she had moved on from him. That she was happy.
"Sometimes I wonder what I even saw in Jason," Audrey thought as she looked at Jason, "and what made me fall in love with him to begin with?"
"He had his second chance the moment she appeared on our driveway." Audrey stated, "I asked him very clearly it was either her or me and he chose to not give me a straight answer."
"Other woman?" repeated Pete, "Oh...I see now dad cheated on you."
"He did," Audrey said, "and for five years too!"
Pete now looks over at his father sitting in the armchair. He was still looking at the floor.
Audrey thought back to Christmas night. It was a truly magical night, that ended with Audrey and Ben fucking on that same armchair Jason sat in. She knew Jason saw them that night and Audrey counted on it. She wanted to drive home just how different Ben was compared to him. Both in cock size and as a man.
Did it work? Well see for yourself just how uncomfortable Jason looked sitting there. Knowing his soon to be ex-wife was fucking their son's friend and loving every second of it.
"Nothing to add?" Audrey asked Jason.
He ignored her.
"How could you dad?" Pete asked.
Jason said nothing and continued to stare at the floor. Ignoring her was something she could live with, as him ignoring her just nails home how pathetic he is. But ignoring their son? Their son Pete who was just wanting to know why, made her more upset than ever. Their son deserved to know why. But clearly Jason didn't care, as he just sat there.
"Tell Pete the truth Jason!" she shouted, "Tell him how you chose to be with...that homewrecker, instead of being with your family! A family you don't seem to want or care about!"
Pete looked at Aubrey now. Eyes widened by her sudden outburst. Then saw fresh tears flowing down her cheeks, which she angrily wipes away. Those tears were the result of her opening up old wounds she thought were healed.
She had enough of Jason's stupidity and was ready to just throw him out then and there. All of this was for Pete's sake and clearly Jason didn't care on that end. He just sat there.
"Five years Jason!" Audrey stated, "Five fucking years of screwing your boss behind back! Five fucking years worth of birthdays, holidays and anniversaries that you chose to ignore!"
She then gets up and heads upstairs to her bedroom. Slamming the door behind her in the process.
"Your mom is taking that part a bit to far," Jason said.
"Can you blame her?" Pete said clenching his fists, "Mom planned that night so perfectly for you two. But what do you do instead? You cheated on her with another woman."
Jason opened his mouth to speak, but was instead cut off by Pete.
"Mom devoted herself to you," Pete continued, "all she wanted in return was for you to be the man she married. But instead you chose to cheat on her and ruin your marriage over a five year long affair."
"You sound like your mother," Jason muttered.
"I would rather be like mom instead of a cheating scumbag like you dad." Pete stated.
"You have no right to speak to me in that matter boy!" Jason said.
"Else what dad?" Pete asked, "You're all bark and no bite."
Jason stared at the floor. He knew Pete was right.
"What was so special about her that made you apparently find mom unattractive?" asked Pete, "Because I know Ben would kill to be with her. As well as a number of guys at my school too."
At hearing Ben's name, Jason clenches his fists. He thought back to Christmas night, when he saw Audrey fuck Ben in his armchair. The same one he was sitting in now. Their naked sweaty bodies luminated by the glow of the fireplace. The sound of their moans, soft yet also passionate, were mixed in with classic christmas music. Making it seem like a porn video, a rather homemade and amateur porn video at that. But the way they moved in unison to bring the other to orgasm, made Jason realize that they must've had previous experience with each other.
----------------------------
It made him feel jealous that Audrey found someone better than him. Even before all this came into the open, Jason disliked Ben. Just like Ben disliked Jason. A few times Jason caught Ben staring at her when Audrey was in the kitchen. He even brought it up to her when Ben went home afterwards.
"You forget that I have eyes Jason," Audrey would tell him, "there's nothing wrong with him looking at me. It goes to show you that I'm still considered hot for my age."
"Hot my ass Audrey," Jason would tell her in turn, "you're too old to be having some nineteen year old kid drool after you."
"Oh fuck you Jason," Audrey would retort, "who cares if he does! It's just innocent puppy love."
Every time he brought it up, it always ends the same way soon afterwards. With him getting in his car to "cool off" and drive to his boss' house. His boss Rose was hot. Audrey was not. Ben had poor taste apparently. Rose was more exciting than Audrey ever was.
-----------------------------------
"I need some air," Pete said.
He then stood up and left the living room as well. Leaving Jason alone downstairs in the living room. He then heads upstairs and knocks on his mother's bedroom door. Though knowing she probably couldn't hear him due to it being soundproofed.
He opens the door, just as Audrey looked up as Pete entered her room. Her eyes were reddened from crying.
"I take it he didn't tell you anything?" Audrey sniffed.
Pete sat on the corner on her bed.
"Nope," Pete said, "only that you were talking that five year thing a bit to far."
He then sighs and leans into her shoulder. Audrey pats his head as he does.
"I told him that you had every right to be upset." Pete then said, "That you devoted yourself to being the perfect housewife and mother. That he should've done the same thing."
"Instead he chose to have a five year long affair with his boss." Audrey added, "and ruin our perfect little family."
"Dad is stupid if he thinks that you are not attractive mom," Pete said, "Ben seems to think so and so do many guys at my school."
"Ben said that huh?" asked Audrey, "Of course he would. What guy wouldn't want a hot milf like me!"
Pete lets out a short chuckle.
"Mom!" Pete said.
"Well it's true!" she giggled, "I've seen the way boys your age look at me."
Pete lets out another chuckle, as Audrey smiles at him. If only Pete knew the truth...that Ben was her boyfriend for a few months now.
"Speaking of Ben," Audrey said, "best not tell him about the divorce between your father and me...okay?"
Pete tells her he won't.
Audrey then stood up.
"How about we go for a drive and I'll buy you another game for your new console?" she then said.
Pete beams with excitement as she told him that. She grabs her car keys from her dresser and stood by her bedroom door.
"Mom will we have to move when you guys do divorce?" Pete asked.
"Of course not." Audrey said, "Why would you ask that sweetie?"
"My girlfriend's parents did after they divorced," he said, "her dad moved to another city and her mom moved them to another house here."
"That was probably because there was too many painful memories in their old house sweetie." Audrey said, "Our situation is different. We don't need to move, unless we decide to."
"Okay," Pete said.
"We can talk about this later." she then said, "For now let's leave the house for a bit."
She then opens the door and steps outside her room. Pete follows behind her. Once the door closed behind him, they walked down the hallway to the stairs and descended them. Audrey peeks her head around the corner to the living room and saw that Jason wasn't there anymore. She sighs in relief.
"Probably left for good this time." she thought, "Good riddance!"
They then stepped outside the house and got into her car. When she began to pull out of the driveway, it was like a cloud lifted from her mind.
Maybe moving to a new house isn't such a bad idea after all. A fresh start, a new life.
With Ben there by her side.
----------------------------------------------
The bed creaked steadily under Audrey and Ben, as they made love later that weekend. Her hands clung to his shoulders, as her legs wrapped around his waist. Holding him close to her, as they both climaxed together a short while later. He rolls off her and pants heavily.
"So I finally did it Ben," Audrey said panting, "I finally told Pete about my divorce with Jason."
"How...did he take it?" said Ben catching his breath.
"As good as any kid who gets told his mother and father are getting a divorce because his father is a sleazy asshole." Audrey said.
