"Excuse me?" I asked, not liking the tone of my son's girlfriend.
"Don't you recycle your cans?" She asked, her tone implying she was disgusted by me.
I had only met her twice before and had instantly disliked her. My son, Trevor, had been dating her for a couple of weeks, and just the way she had him so wrapped around her finger annoyed me. She also dressed slutty in tight blouses that didn't even attempt to hide her big breasts, short, tight skirts that advertised her ass, thigh high stockings that were obvious to see when she was sitting because of her short skirt, and four inch heels. She dripped sex and it was obvious she was using it to get my son to do her bidding.
"I guess not," I answered, my tone terse and my glare daring her to push me.
Yet, she did, as she said, "You should always recycle, Tiffany."
"It's, Mrs. Woods," I corrected, shocked by her gall to dare speak to me so informally.
Not correcting her disrespect, she dismissed my concern instead, and repeated, "Either way, you really should recycle."
"I'll keep your two cents in mind," I quipped, trying to make it clear her opinion wasn't worth anything to me.
She said, "Trevor, let's go."
"Okay," Trevor nodded, like an obedient love sick puppy.
Deciding to show the bitch who was in charge, I said, "Trevor, actually I need you to stay home tonight and help me with a couple things."
"Like what?" He asked.
"Just do as you're told, young man," I firmly ordered, my glare and tone always enough to get him to do what I wanted.
She piped in, "We are going to a movie tonight."
"Good for you," I replied sarcastically. "I am sure you can go to the movie with someone else."
"I suppose I can," she shrugged, while she glanced over at Trevor, giving him a look.
A strange look of fear hit him as he said, "Mom, I have plans with Quinn tonight."
"Well, now you have plans with me," I corrected, not used to Trevor standing up to me. I instantly realized why I disliked Quinn so much...she was a younger version of me.
Quinn rose as Trevor stood up to me, "Sorry, Mom, I'm going out with Quinn tonight. I can help you when I get home or on the weekend."
"Fine," I said, seething, when of course it wasn't remotely fine.
Quinn smiling smugly from ear to ear, "Have a good evening, Mrs. Woods."
I didn't respond as I walked out, steam coming out of my ears.
That night, when Damon, my husband, came home, I ranted, "That bitch disrespected me in my own home."
Damon asked, "How?"
I replayed the conversation and once finished saw Damon was smiling. "Why are you smiling?" I asked tersely.
"Sorry, sorry," he repeated, "it's just that it sounds awfully familiar to your early confrontations with my mom."
"That was different," I protested, his mother a complete bitch who hated me. "This girl is a manipulating bitch who is using her looks and body."
"No, not like you at all," he laughed, which only pissed me off more.
"I'll ignore that condescending remark," I snapped. "I don't want him seeing her anymore."
"Honey, he's eighteen and old enough to make his own decisions," he pointed out.
"He's thinking with his dick," I shot back, frustrated he was not supporting me on this.
"Again, he's eighteen," he repeated, as if that explained everything. Fuck, men are stupid, one dimensional assholes.
"You were eighteen when we met," I pointed out.
"Exactly," he said.
"What are you saying?" I asked exasperated.
"Just the most truthful thing about male DNA. We fall for your looks first and then get to know the rest of you, good or bad," he explained.
"So if I was ugly you wouldn't have fallen in love with me?" I asked.
"Honestly?" He asked, realizing the conversation had become dangerous for him.
"Yes, Damon," I said, using his first name instead of any sweet term of endearment, a one word message that this was serious.
"Tiffany, I love you," he said, trying to avoid the conversation.
"Because I'm pretty," I said, not letting him off the hook so easily.
"Yes," he replied. "I asked you out because you were hot...is that really a surprise?"
Realizing suddenly I had said yes for the exact same reason, my icy exterior shattered as I admitted, walking over to him, "I guess not. I said yes because you were the quarterback and looked fucking hot in your uniform."
"I feel so dirty and cheap," he smiled, his humour almost always able to make me smile.
"Do you want me to do something dirty?" I asked, dropping to my knees.
He looked down at me, "I don't know, I'd hate for you to just use me for my cock."
"Don't worry," I smiled, as I fished out his cock, "I use you for your money, too."
He laughed heartily as I took his cock in my mouth.
.....
The next day, Quinn was over again and once we were alone she said, "I see you still have the cans in the garbage can."
"Yes, I do," I said, not even looking at her.
"I'm trying to play nice," she said.
"We aren't friends, Quinn," I said, turning around.
"Oh, trust me. That was not my implication," she said, her tone oddly ominous in an inexplicable way.
"Good that we have that clear," I said, turning away and back to the salad I was making, implying the conversation was over.
Her tone firm, like mine would be when scolding Trevor, she said, "I expect you to have the cans in the recycling container next time I am here."
I scoffed, as I turned around to give her my patented glare, "I expect you to leave and never come back."
Walking to me with a confident swagger that both pissed me off and made me slightly uneasy, she said, now directly in front of me, "Don't make me do this."
