Recap:
That Saturday night, Toby, Lana, and I had planned to meet with Mark and Connie at their house, since their three kids were staying at their grandparents' house after being gone on vacation. Tom and LeAnn were also planning to join us a little later on. We showed up a little earlier than the arranged 5pm, and I was surprised to see Connie and a woman making out in the doorway.
"Oh, well, I guess Connie has a friend we don't know about," Lana noted. "It's a little weird that she's out in the open like that."
"Maybe it just kinda happened," I suggested since I wasn't sure if I had a better explanation for such public behavior. That wasn't really like her. "Well, let's approach. Best if we don't make it awkward."
"Um, guys," Toby addressed us after getting out and taking a better look at the car which must have belonged to the woman in the doorway. "I think I'm going to make this a little awkward after all."
"What?" I asked. "Why?"
"Mom?" Toby called to her when she'd finally finished sucking the face of the woman I called my lover. Lana and I stopped walking and froze in our spots. Connie jumped at the realization that she was giving a public performance. All I could think about was the last part of that sentence. A public performance... with my boyfriend's
mom
. What the... WHAT?!
I Was Their Babysitter - pt. 9
"Mom?" Toby asked again before Connie could collect herself.
"Um, why don't we all step inside so we can have a little discussion, shall we?" Connie suggested and waved at us to move our feet sooner than later.
"Oh, honey, I..." Toby's mom attempted to offer, but she was cut off by Connie.
"Not now," Connie advised through clenched teeth.
Mark walked in and almost pulled me into his arms to kiss me when he caught sight of Toby's mom and changed his tactic to a simple hug. He looked over at his wife who motioned for him to follow her into the dining area.
"Why don't we all sit down and have a little discussion, shall we?" Connie suggested. "Mark, would you like to get everyone some drinks?"
I caught Mark's reaction to something Connie managed to whisper to him and nodded. OK, I guessed we were all on the same page... maybe? Mark called out to Toby's mom to ask what she'd like to drink. Her response told me how this visit was going to start off.
"Uh, do you have a strict rule about underage drinking?" she asked and attempted to laugh. "If not, could you get both my son and his lovely girlfriend a stiff one to go along with mine?"
"Amaretto stoned sours all around," Mark announced. He even took a tray out from beneath the bar to carry over all six drinks. Before anyone spoke up, Toby's mom drank a huge gulp of her cocktail.
"I would like to apologize to all of you for my behavior just a little while ago," Connie shared, surprising us with the statement. "On top of the fact that it was a public display which is very out of character for me, I believe the fact that it turns out that I was engaging in such behavior with what appears to be your mom made things a bit more awkward. Toby, I presume?" Toby nodded. "I am truly sorry."
"Baby," Toby's mom called to her son, "I'm so sorry. Obviously, I had no idea that you'd be here or that... sorry, how do you know Connie and Mark?"
"Oh boy," Lana sighed and tried not to laugh.
"I am Connie and Mark's babysitter," I explained and nodded. "Oh, and as of the end of December, I am also their girlfriend. Hi," I addressed her. "I'm Stephanie Morton."
"Oh, Stephanie," his mom acknowledged and covered her face. "I'm so embarrassed. I'm Shawna Shipman, Toby's mom. You can call me Shawna. Even now, I can see why he's been so happy. You are lovely. I know this is not quite the way you thought we'd meet, but..."
"Hey, you'll always remember it," Lana offered as a means to break the tension. Only Mark laughed. I raised my eyebrows at her. "Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Lana Dombrenski, Steph's cousin. Our moms are sisters. What would you like me to call you?"
"Shawna is fine," she answered and nodded hesitantly.
"Mark, Connie," I addressed the host and hostess of this event, "this is Toby, my boyfriend. He's heard a lot about you, and I've been looking forward to introducing him to you. Toby Franklin, this is probably my favorite couple to ever exist, Mark and Connie Dartmouth."
"Toby?" Mark stated as he stood up and held out his hand. "I'm Mark. It's very nice to meet you. Can I also just say...? We have one hell of a girlfriend. She's something, huh?"
Toby stood up as well and shook Mark's hand. "She sure is, sir. And I've only heard great things about you."
"So, funny story," Mark announced as he and Toby sat back down. "Back in our college days, Shawna, Connie, and I used to hang out together. Small world, huh?"
"I had dated Mark a couple of times," Shawna explained, "but we seemed to be just more friendly than romantic, so when Connie entered the picture, I stepped aside."
"Well, she tried to, but I maintained my eye on her," Connie clarified and smiled lovingly at her. "While I was dating Mark, I was also pursuing Shawna." Connie shrugged. "She was the first woman I had ever become sexually attracted to. I told Mark about it, and because he found it hot, he encouraged me to see if she was interested in trying things out with me."
"I had only kissed and felt up my roommate," Shawna informed us, "and it didn't seem like much. You know, it was just curiosity. But when Connie presented her idea to try some things together..."
"She does that, doesn't she?" I asked aloud and shook my head. "I've been addicted ever since."
"Right?" Shawna exclaimed and laughed. "So, we met up, and what had been originally planned to be a one-time trial run turned into a few weeks of unimaginable sex."
