THE BET - CHRISTMAS BREAK
CHAPTER 1
Don and Billy were home on Christmas break. They came in on the 10th., and didn't have to go back until Jan. the 2nd. There wasn't much going on other than catching up with each other, visiting friends, and shopping. Too cold to golf or play tennis.
After a few hours of Christmas shopping one day, Donna and Don got home, had a snack, and sat down to rest. As they were talking, Donna kicked off her shoes and leaned down to rub her feet. She said her feet were killing her after all that walking.
"Which," she said, "reminds me. Ann tells me you are a pretty good masseur. And that you talked about taking some classes for it, or physical therapy, or something along those lines."
"She told you that?", he asked. "Yeah. I guess I did mention thinking about it."
"Ann and I have become pretty close since you 2 boys went to college. Seems we have a lot more time on our hands, and spend quite a bit of time together. We've talked about a lot of things. So, how about giving your old Mom a foot massage? Would you mind?"
"Uh. No. I guess not."
Donna laid back on the couch and put her feet in Don's lap. He started gently rubbing, squeezing, and massaging. "Oh yeah. That feels divine. Ann was right. You are good."
Don wondered what else Ann had told his mom. He was a little scared. What would his mom say if she knew he had fucked Ann Jarrett? "So. You and Mrs. J. are good friends?" he asked.
"Oh yeah, we've gotten pretty tight. She told me how when her shoulder was hurting you massaged it and it felt much better. And then later gave her a full massage. She said you were very good at it." She was toying with him, trying to make him squirm. Not letting on that she knew the whole story. She was enjoying making him nervous.
"Yeah. I wanted to be helpful. I thought maybe a shoulder rub would help. She said it did. And later when she said it was her shoulder, neck, and back I did a more thorough back rub. She said I was good at it, and that's when I said I might consider taking classes."
"That was nice of you. And the way you're massaging my feet does feel good. I may get you to do the same for me you did for her. You know, a full massage? Maybe you should consider a career in that area."
Don was still nervous, wondering how much his mom knew. After a few minutes more of the foot rub, Donna put her feet on the floor and said, "Thanks, Don.That was wonderful." She hugged him and went to start supper.
CHAPTER 2
Billy and his mom were sitting in the kitchen. Ann was baking some cookies for Christmas. Billy was hanging out with her and chatting about classes and stuff.
Ann said, "Oh. Donna tells me you gave her some tennis lessons before you left for school. Well, I knew you had given her some pointers. But she said you gave her more later on. She said she really enjoyed it. We played a few times before the weather got bad and it did seem like she had improved. That was nice of you to help her."
"Oh, I enjoyed it. It was fun," said Billy.
"Yeah, Donna and I have been hanging out quite a bit lately. We've gotten pretty close. She told me all about the lessons."
Billy thought, 'I bet she didn't tell you everything.' But he said, "She was a good student. Uh, what all did she say about it?"
"Oh. How you showed her how to improve her swing. And how to hold the racket better, and how to improve her stance. Pretty much everything."
Billy was getting worried. If Mama B had told his mom about them fucking, the shit was getting ready to hit the fan. His mom had probably been thinking of how to approach the subject. And it looked like she had decided that now was the time. He braced himself.
"I knew you were a pretty good player, but I never knew you were interested in teaching. I think it's great that you were willing to help her. Maybe you can help me improve my game?"
"Oh. Uh. I don't know. You're way better than me. I don't know what I could possibly teach you."
"I think it's always good to get input from somebody else. Keeps you growing and getting better. In whatever you're doing. Can you hand me that cookie platter over there?"
Billy handed her the platter. He still didn't know what all Donna had told his mom, but it didn't look like the shit was hitting the fan, so maybe she didn't tell her.
CHAPTER 3
Billy and Don went out to see some friends that night. Don said, "My mom said your mom told her all about my massages. I'm kinda worried she might have told her everything. But she never gave me hell about it. So, I don't know if she told her, or not. I'm still kind of worried. What if she knows?"
Billy said, "Yeah. My mom did the same thing. Told me your mom told her all about the tennis lessons. She said she told her everything. But, I don't think so. Because, like you said, she didn't give me hell. But, I'm still a little worried, too. Maybe they're just trying to figure out how to approach it. Or waiting until our dad's get home."
Don said, "I'm pretty sure Mom doesn't know the whole story. Because she said she might ask me to do the same for her. Ain't no way she'd say that if she knew."
"Yeah, my mom said the same thing. I guess you're right. No way they'd ask that," Billy agreed.
They were both worried. And that put a damper on their evening out with friends. Neither one could really enjoy themselves. But they both still looked back on the adventures with each other's mom and thought of doing it again.
CHAPTER 4
Donna told Ann that she almost told Don that she knew about him and Ann, but decided to let it go. Ann said she had done the same thing. But they both agreed that it had been kind of fun watching them squirm.
