It's been a few months, but the third part is finally here. I apologize for the wait to those who have enjoyed the previous parts of this story.

"It'll probably take a couple hours for me to wash and dry everything." Mrs. Young told me as she made sure she picked up all of my wet clothing. "Should be done by morning." She added.
"Thanks," I said, still holding my shirt over myself. She had to know what she was doing to me.
"Any idea when we should be expecting Michael back?" She asked, seeming to make her stay purposely longer. I was really considering taking a shower just to jerk off.
"Uh, he didn't say," I told her. "Could be any minute now or some time later."
She nodded as she looked around the room. Michael's walls were covered with Xbox game posters and some drawings he had done over the past couple years. I watched her eyes widen when they landed on a poster of a topless, big-breasted woman on the back of the closet door. She rolled her eyes, obviously having that be the first time she'd ever seen it.
"Anyway," she looked back at me, "I washed the blanket you slept with last night too and it's folded up downstairs on the couch for you."
"Oh," I shook my head, "You didn't have to wash it."
She straightened her lips and almost looked a little embarrassed. "I think I did."
"Why?" I asked.
She was quiet for many seconds. "Because," she started, "I'm guessing after I went back upstairs last night you had to take care of yourself again and I noticed you hadn't really cleaned up everything. So..."
"Oh," I widened my eyes and uncontrollably grinned feeling very stupid. "Well that's embarrassing."
She almost smiled, not knowing if it was okay to. "Well it's clean now." She repeated, moving closer to the door. It seemed as if the conversation had gotten a little too uncomfortable for her to stay any longer.
"Thanks, Mrs. Young." I said.

Instead of going downstairs to go to sleep on the couch, I decided to stay up in Michael's room for awhile longer. At least until Mrs. Young went to bed. I felt that the more I avoided conversating with her the less chance there would be that I would be teased.
I turned the Xbox on and played some games by myself to try and pass time. But I could feel myself slowly wanting to head downstairs. My eyes felt so heavy.
I turned from hearing a light knock on the door. Mrs. Young was standing there wearing black shorts and a loose gray t-shirt. Her hair was still down and looked kind of wet like she had just gotten out of the shower.
"Hey," she said. "I'm about to head to bed." She looked at the controller in my hand then to the TV screen. "What are you doing?"
"Playing a game." I told her.
She stepped into the room and moved towards me and flopped down on the beanbag beside me. "Can I watch?" She asked.
I was happy to be near her, but on the other hand....
"You're not going to bed?" I questioned.
"I'll just stay and watch for a few minutes." She told me.
"Well," I said. "I was about to go to bed myself. But I'll let you stay if you play with me."
She stared at me without saying anything for a long second. I was sure she thought I was purposely making it sound like an innuendo.
"I don't know how to play," She told me finally, ignoring what she obviously thought.
"It's easy." I shrugged.

We ended up surviving the horde of zombies for about 20 minutes before we both died.
"Matthew!" She laughed when the end game screen came up.
"Hey, it's your fault!" I laughed with her. "If I didn't have to keep reviving your ass we would have made it longer."
She continued giggling. "I told you I didn't know what I was doing. And don't say ass." She scolded, kicking back into her motherly instincts.
"You're right. I was thoroughly warned." I agreed, turning the console off and taking the controller from her to set it back under the TV along with mine.
"That was fun." She told me after our laughter died down.
I leaned back in my beanbag and nodded. It had been fun. I almost forgot it was my best friends mom I was sitting next to having all this fun with.
"Well," She put her hands on her knees and pushed herself up to her feet. "I should be heading to bed. It's midnight."
I cursed in my head, feeling even more exhausted.
"You look tired, Matthew." She told me. "Go to sleep."
"I am," I stood up.
"Actually, Matthew," She stopped before heading out of the room. "I turned the heat off tonight because the bill is getting pretty high and it's supposed to be kind of cold. I wanted to give you another blanket just in case."
"Oh, that's fine." I turned the offer down. I felt fine with what I had. I didn't think I'd get cold at all.
"Well, it wouldn't hurt to have it just in case. Would it?" She insisted.
"I guess not," I said.
"Come on," She nodded towards the hallway. I followed her out of Michael's room.
She had the lamp turned on on her nightstand, but her bed was still made unlike last night when I had walked in.
