*Knock! Knock!*
I can't stand my fucking mom.
Was it too much to yell at my girlfriend and kick her out of the house when she found us? My answer would lean towards yes.
Did she take it a little too far when spanked and verbally degraded me? Definitely.
But now, even she might be doing too much.
The door in front of me swung open slowly as the head of a slightly elder woman poked out. Pointing her head down to see over her glasses, she questionably greeted, "Uhm... hello?"
"Yes, are you Mrs. Ramirez?" I asked her.
Her eyebrows furrowed and she responded, "Yes. Do I know you?"
"No, we haven't had the chance to ever meet. I'm Jordan," I introduced myself.
"Jordan?" she repeated as the door opened a little bit more. It then hit her and she asked, "Vanessa's boyfriend, right?"
"Yeah, that's me," I smiled as she opened the door and stepped out. The first thing I noticed was her striking resemblance to Vanessa, but I figure that Vanessa must've gotten her height from her dad because this woman was tall. She stood at maybe 6 feet evenly and had long legs under her partially opened house robe, even though she was fully clothed in jeans and a sky blue blouse underneath it. She stepped up to me and I stared up at her and truth be told, I was actually a little intimidated.
She flashed a quick smile and my nervousness left as she stuck her hand out and introduced herself. "Oh, it's nice to finally meet you. Vanessa talked about you so much. As you already know, I'm her mom, Muriel."
I took her hand in mine, noticing her firm grip and shook it. "Nice to finally meet you too, Muriel."
Her face scrunched up a bit and she commented, "I sort of preferred Mrs. Ramirez better."
"Oh, I apologize, Mrs. Ramirez." Great, she's one of those people. Well, luckily, I'm not really here for her. Though, the reason I am here is far worse.
It's a day after my mom spanked me and if that's not humiliating enough, my mom has now sent me over here to break up with Vanessa. According to my mom, she's too much of a negative influence on me. I countered that I'm eighteen and an adult, but she came back with her house, her rules. Since I can't move out yet, I have to abide.
"Is Vanessa here?" I asked Mur... I mean, Mrs. Ramirez.
"Actually, no, she's out right now," she informed me. "But you're more than welcome to come in."
"Uhm... it's... it's fine. I'll just come back later," I stammered out in response to the older woman's invitation.
"No, I come in," she insisted as she grabbed my arm. She stepped a little closer and her presence became more domineering as she stared down at me. "I actually wanted to talk to you about something."
The grip from her hand on my arm hurt a bit. I gulped as I looked into her eyes, fearing at what may come from my rejection. "O...okay."
"Good boy," she moaned as she leaned down and softly pecked my lips. You'd think that if a beautiful, older woman invited you into her house and kissed you on the lips, you'd get turned on and want to go into her house to see where it goes. In this case, I'm afraid because this woman is petrifying and I'm scared of what'll happen when I go inside. It's also important to note that I didn't accept to go in, I caved and she definitely picked up on that. "Come in."
She slowly let my arm go and let me walk past her as I entered into her home. I heard the door close behind me after a few seconds and her footsteps closely following mine. I'll admit, it's not the first time I've ever been inside Vanessa's home, but it's the first time I've ever been here whenever one of her parents has been home. But, I wasn't lost coming in, going straight to the living room. Once I got there, my eyes were placed on the familiar, three piece beige furniture. Before I could make a choice where to sit, I felt Mrs. Ramirez's hand on my lower back as she motioned towards the couch and almost like she was instructing, said, "Please, sit there."
Well, I guess my decision has been made for me. I went over the couch, sitting on one edge of it as she went over the lounge chair that was placed on the other side of it. In my kind, I couldn't help but be relieved that she had sat over there and not next to me. I don't like it when she's close to me. My eyes began wandering around the room, looking everywhere except her direction as we momentarily sat in an awkward silence.
"Are you nervous?" she suddenly questioned.
She's damn right I'm and she fucking knows that. But, the worst thing to do in this moment is to openly acknowledge it. It might be something she feeds on and I don't want to give her anymor-
"Cat got your tongue, young man?" she cut off my thoughts.
"N...no," I responded.
"So, can you answer my question?"
"N...no," I repeated with the same stutter. I then elaborated, "No, I'm not nervous."
I know there's a usual tension that comes along when meeting the parents or parent of a date, but this is so much different. There's just a different energy to this. It's like a predator observing its prey.
"So, Mrs. Ramirez," I tried to strike up a conversation and get off my clear fear, "What did you want to talk to me about?"
She crossed one of her long legs across the other, making sure her robe covered everything else and leaned back in her chair. She explained, "As you know, Vanessa came is visiting from college, seeing as she went over to your house first before she even came home. But, that's not what bothers me. If you two love each other that much, I'm very happy.
"But, when she finally comes home, she comes in upset and emotional and just locks herself in her room. I tried talking to her, but she ignored me. I asked what was wrong and she simply told me that she had a very bad, embarrassing experience. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, right?"
Apart from my mom finding her rimming me and then yelling at her? Yes, I have a pretty good idea as to why she came home upset, but I can't tell this woman that. She might eat me alive if she knew the truth. "Sorry, can't say I do. Maybe a bad experience with her Uber driver or something. Very unsafe for a woman to take them and I told her that."
