Coby, Part 2
After that crazy afternoon, I really wasn't sure how Coby was going to react. He seemed pretty fine when he left - stoked, even. But, you know how the mind works... Was he freaking out, beating up on himself? Wracked with guilt? I'll wager he was fucking his girlfriend with a vehemence she hasn't seen before! Heh heh.
What a thing the human psyche is. You just don't control it: simple fact. I learned long ago that all you can do is buckle up and try to enjoy the ride because you are going to be taken to some truly unexpected places in your life, if you have the courage to follow it.
Actually, Coby and I started texting semi-regularly after that. He was totally fine with what we did. With his newfound desires. Have to admit I was quite fine with it me'self. I was even musing on the potential for a repeat, ah, performance. Not that I would force it, try to orchestrate it. Have to let Coby take the lead. It'll happen if it Coby wants it to happen.
It ended up being a while until we connected again one-on-one. Next time we were face-to-face was at his house: they were hosting a family get together. And as we'd agreed beforehand, we didn't even try to find time alone, we just grooved on hangin' with the big group.
It wasn't for another couple of months that we finally connected one-on-one. Coby came down to my place on a Saturday afternoon. He made up a story about hanging out downtown with friends. Evidently still struggling with his Mom about freedom and autonomy.
As last time, we soon had beers and snacks and the pipe at the ready and we were installed on my couch listening to some tunes. More Esperanza Spalding - her previous album. We worked the pipe first, relieving it of its bowlful in short order. Scant minutes hence, we were feeling no pain.
"This music is intense man. Very different from the last one. Also awesome. *pause* You know my Mom is being such a pain. Feels like it's getting even worse the older I get. She's so clingy. It's driving me crazy."
"Well. Obviously it comes from a place of love. You did have a bit of a sheltered upbringing, out there in the extreme 'burbs. On the other hand I think it's also true that you're a bright guy and you're not gonna put yourself into sketchy situations. Right...? Not to mention, you could more than defend yourself if it ever came to it."
"Obvie. Dad's no help either. He never stands up to her on things. He just smiles and does his Indian head-shake, or pretends he has work to do."
"Well, it wouldn't kill you to check in with your Mom via text once in while. No effort for yourself but a big payoff with your Mom. I promise you she'll calm down. A bit at least."
"'Suppose you're right. *pause*...She does love me a lot."
"Family: whattayagonnado, eh?! Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em."
Who says a little dad-joke can't be useful on occasion?!
"Here, gimme your phone." I try for mysterious.
"Uh, no! What're you up to?"
"C'mon, trust me. Gimme gimme."
He huffed a bit but went over to his coat. His phone was soon in my hand. I opened his text feed with his mom and started a new dm:
> Hey mom! lettn ya no alls good. chillin at dundas square. ya good?
And sent it, without showing him. Did I mention I have this inner, sometimes not so inner, smartass...?
He grabbed the phone forcefully from me when he heard the 'message-sent' swoosh sound on his phone. The hand that wasn't holding the phone started curling into a fist as he read the text. Uh oh: maybe too much?!
Whew, luckily he only smiled and punched me without the initially-anticipated force.
"Cool. You're actually so right, you know. Fuck, it's like literally 10 seconds. Heh heh, she's flipping right now, right?!"
Ding! She replied:
> Coby, everything ok?
Ding! Another:
> the truth!
He wrote back, with some prompts from me.
> yes mom! all good.
And again:
> jes decided to try to be a better son
> Gotta go. love ya!
"That'll do it. See: easy!"
Ding!
> love you too! *heart-emoji*
"Heh heh, she's probably reaching for a kleenex at this very second! Job done."
A fresh bowl was dispatched and we were officially well-buzzed. I was definitely feeling it, and got a bit cocky.
"I know this is totally inappropriate but I'm saying it anyway. Speaking of your mother, she is a total hottie. A most desirable woman."
"Huh. Yeah, I suppose you're allowed to share that, whatever that was. Um, why?"
"Don't know. It just came out. I blame the bud. Then again, you did bring her up. Twice. *pause* Soooooo, have you ever thought of her, you know, sexually?"
"Wow! No bullshit here, man. Right to the point eh? You are in a mood!"
"Ha ha I know. Ain't it awesome?"
"The truth?: 'course, bro. I mean, you're right: she's hot. Simple fact."
"Whew. That's heavy."
"What can I say. I'm only human. Fuck, I mean I don't perv on her - have never. *pause* Well, almost never. If she's sunbathing topless in the backyard... *sigh* Like I said, I'm only human. I can't deny the reality, which is that she is fine."
