After graduation I went on a week long fishing trip with my dad in the mountains near our home. The fishing was great and dad even let me drink a few beers with him now that I'm eighteen and going off to college next year. Though after a week in the wilderness of bonding with dad I was ready to come home and be with my girlfriend Amy and I had a summer job lined up as well that I was ready to start.
We got home early Sunday evening and I gave Amy a call on my cell phone, she wanted me to meet her and Tommy my best bud at the pizza joint. So I took a shower and got changed into a clean tee shirt and a pair of shorts. I left the house to go meet them at the pizza joint, when I got there you could hear pop music blaring from the radio behind the counter, the small booths were filled with people eating pizza. I found Amy and Tommy in a booth sitting on the same side together; I dropped down in the empty side and grabbed Amy's soft hand.
"Hey baby, I sure did miss you this week." I said. "Oh and I missed you too Amy."
"Always ready with a joke." Amy laughed uncomfortably taking her hand away.
"Hey buddy, something happened this week while you were gone and we need to talk about it." Tommy said.
"What happened? Can this wait, I'm going to go up and get a slice." I said.
"No it can't wait Brad; we need to tell you what happened." Amy said with a growing sense of urgency in her voice.
"Okay, so what is it that you two are dying to tell me." I said now concerned.
"I went over to Amy's mom's shop to get a hair cut last Tuesday and Amy was the only one working. It was hot and the air conditioning unit broke down again, Amy was just wearing a real tight fitting tank top and a skimpy pair of shorts to keep cool." Tommy explained.
"Well as I was rinsing his hair and complaining about how hot it is Tommy got the idea to spray me with the hose, the tank top I was wearing was white and I did not have a bra on." Amy added.
"So big deal Tommy got treated to a wet tee shirt contest in you Mom's shop." I said relieved. "I'm sure it was just an accident."
"It is a big deal, after I sprayed her I saw her breast pressing against the shirt, she left the room laughing to get a mop and I got up and locked the shop door and turned the sign to close. When I came back in I took the mop from her and pushed her against the wall kissing her and she kissed me back. I tore open her shirt so I could see how beautiful her tits are and one thing led to another and we had sex on her Mom's shop floor, we have been everyday now this entire week." Tommy said taking a hold of Amy's hand.
"Brad we did not want to hurt you, but the sex with Tommy was so passionate and it felt so naughty that I want to see him and break up with you." She explained.
"Well this really fucking sucks, losing my girlfriend and my best friend in the same day, hope you guys are happy." I said getting up and leaving.
I was almost to my old beat up pick up truck when Tommy came running out after me, I quickly wiped away the growing tears in my eyes. I turned to meet him and he stopped within a few feet of me.
"Sorry buddy, I always had the hots for Amy; I just had to act on it." He said. "I hope someday we can get through this and be friends again."
"Not likely, why don't you go back in there and go fuck yourself with a huge Italian sausage." I said to him angrily.
"You want to hit me or something?" He asked. "I think if you hit me or tried to kick my ass maybe you would feel better and we can work things out between us."
"As bad as I want to kick your ass asshole, I won't do it. Don't worry Tommy I will come up with a different way to get you and the little bitch back for betraying me this way and throwing away our years of friendship. Fuck you." I spat and got into my truck, driving away and leaving him in the parking lot.
I was so pissed off when I got home; I avoided my parents and went up to my room destroying everything that had to do with Amy and Tommy. Pictures, love notes, anything that connected me to them over our high school years they were all gone. I took my full garbage can out to the backyard and put it all in my dad's burn barrel and then got some lighter fluid. With match all of my memories of them were destroyed as I stood watching the fire burn my mother came out to join me.
"What's wrong Brad?" She asked in her usual soft soothing voice.
"Tommy and Amy had been cheating on me while I was gone with dad." I said to her.
"Oh baby I'm so sorry, can I do anything to help you?" She asked putting her hand on my shoulder.
"No mom, this is just something I need to work out for myself." I told her.
She stood by me for a long time in silence; she put her arm around me and gave me a hug. With the light of the fire and the growing darkness of the coming of night my mom looked really pretty. Then I was struck with inspiration of how I can get Tommy back for stealing Amy from me.
My mother finally went back into the house and I was again left alone with my thoughts. Tommy's mother is the way I was going to get back at home; I was going to work on seducing his mother.
Like my mother Tommy's mother Ellen had been involved through our entire time in school with fundraisers and bake sales. Like my mother Ellen is in her early forties, still looks very pretty. Also she has a nice body, her and my mother work out at the same gym during the week to keep them in shape.
Tommy's dad on the other hand worked as a construction foreman, now that he supervised the jobsites he had put on weight. He was starting to bald and his growing mid section were starting to take its toll on him. I could hear my mom and Tommy's mom talk on the phone on her lack of a sex life. Now all I had to do was come up with some kind of plan to get her alone, seduce her and pay Tommy back.
Once again my mother would provide me with inspiration I needed to get Ellen alone with me. My mom was putting dishes away from the dishwasher and she was glad to see me come in.
"Brad, your father has just surprised me with a vacation; we are leaving Monday morning for Paris." She said all giddy.
"Great Mom, I hope you two have a good time." I replied.
"Oh I'm sure we will, I guess I will have to put my landscaping project on hold until I get back." She said.
"Well Mom you know my summer job is at a local restaurant and I don't have to be to work until four in the afternoon. Why don't you make a list of everything you need for the flower beds and I will put them in for you." I suggested.
"Oh Brad that is so sweet of you to offer, but you never planted anything." She said patting my cheek tenderly.
"Let me try, if I need help I could call Ellen, I may be pissed off at Tommy, but I don't have anything against his family." I said to her.
"Yes and Ellen is really good with gardening and I want to remain friends with her even after what Tommy did to you. I will giver her call and see if she will interest in lending you a hand." Mom replied hanging up the dishtowel. "I better hurry up, I need to finish packing and your dad has already got done, is showered in bed sleeping already."
She called Ellen up and took the phone into the other room; I wanted to listen in and tried not to be too obvious. Of course what happened between Tommy and Amy was discussed and it sounded like Ellen did not approve. It sounded like her and my mother would still be able to remain friends and then my mom asked her about helping her with the flower beds. Ellen told her that she would be delighted to help me with them and would be over around ten o clock Monday morning so we can go to the garden center and Home Depot to get everything we needed.
My mother thanked and hung up the phone, she got up to put it on the charger. She found me lingering in living room waiting for her to tell me what I needed to know about the flower beds.
"Alright, Ellen will be over to help you next week, I will leave you enough cash to pay for everything. All of the beds are marked already with wood stakes and string so you will know where to put them and what flowers are marked on Popsicle sticks I put in the ground." Mom explained. "Are you sure you can handle this?"
"I sure can mom, I want to do this for you and you better get packed and off to bed you have an early flight." I said to her.
"Oh shoot your right, good night honey." She said kissing me on the cheek. "We will be gone in the morning before you get up and we will see you next Sunday."
"I love you and have a good trip." I said.
"Love you too." She said and went upstairs.
Monday
I got up the next morning and took a shower, shaved and got ready for Ellen to come over and help me. She showed up right on time and she looked nice, she must have figured we were not going to do much work today. She had a pair of white slacks; I could see the outline of her white panties through them. A light green button up blouse, her hair was nicely styled and she was wearing makeup.
"Hi Brad, it's so good to see you." She said giving me a hug as I held the door open.
"Good to see you again Ellen." I said inhaling her perfume.
"I'm glad you and your mom thought of me for this project and I'm so sorry about what happened between Tommy and Amy." She said rubbing my back to reassure me.
"I rather not talk about that but I really am glad you will be helping me this week." I said. "I may still be mad at Tommy, but you have always been really nice to me."
"Aw that is so sweet." She said kissing me on the cheek.
"We should get going; we will take my truck if you don't mind, so we can fit everything." I recommended.
