Everyone is over eighteen in case anyone did not know.

Once again it's football season and as usual I had all my friends over to watch the game on our satellite television. They did not come for just the games, they also enjoyed being around my mother. My mother looked good for her age, at thirty seven years old and all of my friends never failed to comment on it. At first I used to get upset over the comments, but once they learned not to get too lewd or anything I grew to accept it as compliments.
My parents are pretty opposite my dad as they grew older, dad is forty two, he met mom when he started work for the company he is at since he got out of college. Dad went on to rise up to production manager, with long hours, bad diet, he is starting to get a gut on him and he is starting to go bald. He said he never participated in sports in high school or college but he does enjoy watching them.
Mom on the other hand left her job after she became pregnant with me, she does not work out and the weight she put on when she was pregnant proportioned itself in the right places on her body. Mom is five foot six, her breasts benefited the most from when she was pregnant all those years ago, and she went from a thirty six b to a thirty eight double d. Her breast have just slight sag to them, the rest of the weight rounded her rear end nicely and make her legs look thick and muscular. Mom has blonde hair and also enjoys the games and when my friends come over to watch.
This Sunday my best friend Tommy and my other two buddies Kevin and Mark arrived at noon so we can watch the pre game shows. It started out like any other Sunday we took our usual seats in the living room to watch. We proved to my mother we could be careful and she was bringing in the snacks and sodas for us.
Dad was nursing a manhattans and not paying attention to the young men that had invaded his living room. Nor did he see the guy's eye balling his beautiful wife, I had warned them many times not to let him catch them, for Dad is the jealous type. The way mom had dressed today did not help, dad would get jealous when other men would flirt with her and check her out, yet she encouraged her to buy her clothes online from websites and Victoria's Secret.
Mom came back in the living room carrying a trey that she leaned down for each of us to take a soda and I had to grab the big bowl of chips off of it for her. She was wearing a purple velour pant suit that she had unzipped enough to reveal a little of her ample cleavage.
"Shannon could you get me another Manhattan?" Dad asked.
"Sure Bill, but take it easy." She said.
When mom came back in she gave dad his drink and she also had a white wine for herself. She sat down in her chair and read her book as the show began, we were talking smack about players and the games. At halftime of the first set of games dad got up and made another manhattan and by the end of the first games he had another, mom was on her third glass of wine as well.
"Wow your parents are getting rather buzzed." Tommy commented.
"Yeah dad does not usually drink so much; he is under a lot of stress at work." I said making up an excuse for him.
Mom complained that it was too hot and got up to go upstairs and change; she stopped at the thermostat and turned the heat down a little. Dad took the moment of her leaving to turn and talk to us, his speech a little slurred.
"So what game are we watching next guys?" He asked.
"We are going to watch the Panthers against the Cardinals next." I said.
"The Panthers suck, the Cardinals should steam roll them." Dad laughed.
"Care to make a wager on that Mister Reynolds?" Tommy asked.
"I can't take money from a kid, it would not be right." Dad snorted.
"Sounds like you're scared to lose." Tommy egged him on.
"Well Tommy, this spring I was going to have Shawn paint the garage, if you lose you will have to help him and you will also paint the house as well." Dad said sure that the Cardinals would win.
"And if I win?" Tommy asked him.
"I'll give you five hundred dollars." Dad said smugly.
"I rather have something else." He said to my dad surprising every one in the room.
"Oh what is that Tommy?" Dad asked.
"I want four dates with your wife." Tommy said looking my drunken father right in the eye.
"Tommy are you fucking nuts." Mark said swearing in front of my dad.
"Why you arrogant little bastard, sit there all smug and shit, I tell you what." Dad said getting up. "I see you little bastards eye balling my wife when you come over and I'm so sure of this game I will up the ante, if you win you can have four dates with my wife, if I win not only will you help Shawn paint the house and the garage, but you can never come over to watch football in this house again."
We all sat in silent shock at what had just happened, I could see betting for one date, but why did Tommy want four of them, did he really think if mom would let this happen that he had some kind of shot with her. Mom came back in the room wearing a crewneck tee shirt and a denim skirt. Dad came in with a fresh drink for him and a new glass of wine for her.
We watched the game in silence and it started off great for Tommy as the Panthers got on the board first. Then the Cardinals came back to tie and Dad laughed in his chair mumbling something about how Warner was just getting started.
Nothing else happened in the first quarter and it was seven to seven, then in the second quarter the Panthers ran another one in for a touchdown, later in the quarter they hit a fifty yard touchdown pass and then picked on off for a touchdown. The Panthers were up at the half twenty eight to seven.
In the third quarter the Cardinals managed to get another touchdown which made dad cheer and surprised mom to see him getting into the game and now the lead was only two touchdowns. With the Cardinals offense they could make that up pretty quickly and still win. Well Warner and the Cardinals had a terrible game and could not score again in the third quarter and neither could the Cardinals.
In the fourth quarter the Panthers finally scored again with a field goal, the Cardinals added a touchdown and Dad was now on the edge of his seat the Panthers added another field goal. The Cardinals usual high powered offense gave up five interceptions this day and a couple of fumbles for a final score of thirty four to twenty one.
"Well we better get going, right guys." Tommy said to my other two friends.
"Yeah that probably is a good idea." Mark added. "Sorry Mister Reynolds, thank you for your hospitality Mrs. Reynolds."
"Any time guys see you next Sunday." She said.
"I'll give you a call sometime Shannon." Tommy said leaving the living room.
"Whatever did he mean by that?" My mother asked me.
"I really don't know, maybe you better ask dad." I said walking my friends out.
"Bill what is going on?" Mom asked.
"I'm sorry Shannon, you warned me not to drink so much and you know what happens when I drink so much, I get stupid." He said sullenly.
"Bill what did you do?" She asked as you could hear the irritation in her voice.
"I made a stupid bet, a really stupid bet and I lost." He said not once looking at my mother.
"And what did you bet?" She asked.
"I was going to have Tommy paint the house and garage with Shawn this spring and I offered him a bet of five hundred dollars, which he would not take." Dad explained.
"So what did you bet Bill?" My mother asked in a louder tone.
"I see how that smug little bastard looks at you when he comes over, so he bet me that if he won he gets four dates with you." Dad said finally.
"Four dates, why four dates and why did you agree Bill, you don't know enough about football to bet on it." She said angrily.
"I'm sorry I will call him tomorrow and offer him more money instead." Dad said thinking that would get him out of it.
"No Bill we can't afford it, Shawn what in the hell is going on around here?" She asked me as I tried to sneak upstairs.
"Sorry Mom, dad was drunk and made a stupid bet." I said hoping that would get me off the hook.
"Why did Tommy bet a date with me, no correction why did he want four dates with me?" She asked me.
"Well mom, Tommy like a lot of my other friends think you are pretty hot and Tommy out of all of my friends has the most experience with the opposite sex. He thinks he will only need a couple of dates to score with you and if he doesn't he said he still gets to date the hottest woman in town." I explained.
"Well it serves the two you right, you Bill Reynolds for being drunk and stupid and you Shawn Reynolds for not stopping your father or your so called best friend. To teach both of you a lesson I'm going through with the bet." My mother said and stormed up to the bedroom.
