Chapter IV: Epulo
(Ahhmm ... fuck. Ahhh ... you are so good, Marcus.)
As my Mom's panting and dirty talk continued, I contemplated whether I should just bust into her room. But the fear of seeing her naked and in the arms of Marcus held me back. I still didn't want to believe she'd had the audacity to cheat on my father. To make it worse, she did it with my classmate: a guy the same age as her own son.
I know he's your lifesaver and everything, but why, Mom? Why?
Just then I heard the front door open, followed by footsteps.
"Honey, I'm home."
It's Dad. The situation was clearly heading from bad to worse.
If he sees Mom with Marcus, there will be a riot
.
I got up off of my bed and started pacing in circles around my room, trying to think of a way to avert the situation. Nothing came to my mind. I froze at the the creaking sound of my mother's bedroom door as it was opened.
"Jesus, Eva!" I heard my father exclaim. It was too late.
"What the fuck are you doing?"
"Ummm...."
"Why are you naked?"
"Well...."
"And what's with the apple?"
Apple?"
"Well, Greg. If you must know, I was masturbating."
"I can see that. But doing it with an apple? Jesus."
"Well, if you were fucking me from time to time, I wouldn't have needed to resort to this."
"Are we having this argument again? I'm tired, Eva."
"Tired from what? Drinking?"
"Yes, drinking. So that at least for a moment, I could forget all of our problems and all of your whiningโ"
That seemed to be the last straw. The next thing I knew, I was listening to a scuffle.
"Get your hands off me!"
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that."
Mom kept shouting, and Dad kept apologizing. And then I heard things being thrown.
"Ouch! Hey that was an apple!"
"Do you want something bigger? How about this lamp shade then?"
"No! Please, I'm sorry."
"Get the fuck out!"
"Where am I going to sleep?"
"Sleep on the couch!"
"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned," I muttered.
The door was slammed hard, after which Dad Mombled something I couldn't understand, and then I heard his footsteps as he walked away. Meanwhile, sniffles and sobs emanated from within the room.
Lost amongst all of the confusion was any mention of the name my mother had mentioned while busy pleasuring herself. It was the same name of a person, who until some moments ago, I had convinced myself to see in a new light. While he hadn't directly caused any of these incidents, the sterling image of him grew tarnished and I found myself once again detesting him.
I crawled back into bed. "Marcus...." I whispered dejectedly. I closed my eyes and drifted to sleep.
----------------------------------
A growling pain in the vicinity of my stomach awakened me. As lay clutching my abdomen a warm sensation tingled within my rectum, followed by tepid air erupting out of my anus, accompanied by a strong and intense sound.
"Prrrttrrrtt.... Damn Mexican food!" I cursed under my breath after accidentally inhaling some of the foul-smelling gas. Now I had one more good reason to hate Crabbe, the horny sex-freak who'd delivered the food last night.
After stretching my arms and yawning, I looked at the clock on my phone: 7 am, time for me to eat breakfast and prepare for school. I stood up and walked out of my room...
The familiar smell of crisp bacon and fried eggs greeted my nostrils. It was refreshing compared to the revolting odor I had inhaled a few seconds ago. As I approached the kitchen, I saw that Mom was indeed cooking Dad's favorite breakfast. But Dad was nowhere to be seen.
"Where's Dad?"
"Work," she replied laconically, giving out no further details.
Must be regretting their fight last night, and wanted to make amends by cooking breakfast for him. But of course, he left early for work, I reasoned to myself. I watched her dish up the bacon and eggs from the skillet, and then signal me to come into the kitchen. "Here's your breakfast, honey."
I sat on a chair at the table as she handed me the plate. Just as I was about to dig in, my stomach grumbled again. It made me clench my tummy.
"Uhhh..."
"What's the matter, honey?" she said worryingly.
I gazed at her, mutely trying to send her signals that I was in distress and in no condition to answer. She just looked at me, uncomprehending, so I muttered, "Coรฑo Caliente."
"What?"
She didn't say anything more, but instead went straight to the bathroom. When she returned, I noticed she had a small cylindrical container in her hand. She popped the lid open, and took a white tablet.
"Take this. It will make you feel better."
Probably an antacid.
I took her advice, swallowed it and then reached for a glass of water from the table.
"Better just stay at home today, honey." She smiled. After that, she walked back again towards the bathroom.
Yeah... I guess.

(Det...det...det...det...det...det...de...ding...)
(Hello!)
(Whelpie Goldburg?)
(Yeah?)
(This is your 8 am wakie call from Hal!โ)
I lay on the couch, watching some morning tv show called 'Wakie from Hal', having decided not to go to school today after all. I wasn't really feeling well, and Mom had insisted. She had left about fifteen minutes ago, wearing a pink-and-black-striped tracksuit. When I had asked her where she was going, she'd answered,
"I'm just going for a run in the park. I haven't done so lately."
"Why aren't you going to the diner?" Why aren't you going to work like you usually do around this time?
She'd frowned and averted her eyes. "Your father doesn't want me to go to work at the diner anymore." She looked quite sad as she left, and I felt I could understand why.
She'd told me that she really loved the work and had already made lots of friends there. But then again I could understand why Dad forbade her. Ever since Mom's 'incident', he had been cautious, to the point of being overprotective, and this most likely irked her. I imagined they had argued heavily about his decision.
