I stayed up for the rest of the night after coming back down stairs. There was no way I could go to sleep. I thought about every little detail of what Mrs. Young and I had done. I had gone into the bathroom down stairs to relieve myself when I couldn't stand it any longer. It had never felt so good to jerk off after holding off for so long.
I went back upstairs to knock on Michael's door to let him know that I had 'made it home'. He told me that he walked Anna home after he talked her down from what he had done. I really didn't want too much detail about the situation.
I started getting a very strong feeling of guilt the longer I was laying there thinking about it. I was messing around with my best friends mom. My best friend. I was basically ruining what family trust he thought he had. The feeling of being attracted to Mrs. Young was stronger though.
I couldn't just stop now after everything. And it all happened so fast. Plus adding Michael and Anna with the problems that were building up for me didn't help either. I at least had to cut the line there to keep Michael happy about something in case shit hit the fan later on. I couldn't be involved with Anna like she wanted me to. It wouldn't work.
I was still wide awake when 8 o'clock rolled around. I found myself either staring at the clock or the ceiling. Either way I was thinking about the mess I had somehow put myself in which was quickly passing the time.
My thoughts were suddenly interrupted when I heard someone coming down the stairs. I stayed where I was on the couch and saw Mrs. Young walk up behind it to look down at me. She didn't seem too surprised to see that I was awake. I wondered if she stayed up the rest of the night like I had too.
"Get dressed," she said in a soft voice. "We'll go for a drive." She then began walking towards the kitchen.
I sat up to speak quietly before she got too far away. "What about..."
"Michael will be in bed at least until after noon." She assured me and continued her path to the kitchen.
Without any further questions I sat up, stretched, and pulled my pants on. I grabbed my shirt off the back of the couch and slid it over my head as well.
I heard Mrs. Young in the kitchen taking all the clean dishes out of the dish washer and putting them away in the cabinets.
I slipped my vans on and tied the strings before standing up. I slowly walked towards the kitchen. Mrs. Young was facing away from me as I approached. She had her hair tied back into a loose bun like she hadn't tried to look good at all. But she looked amazing. She had dark purple skirt on that stopped right at her knees and a tight fit white shirt. She was dressed to go out into the public and I was going with her.
"You ready?" She asked when she turned around.
I nodded, scratching the back of my neck as she grabbed her purse off one of the chairs at the bar.
We walked out of the front door together and headed for her car. She drove a black ford focus. The inside of the car was always clean and smelt of lemon and mango due to the air fresheners.
She backed out of her parking spot in front of the house and drove the correct speed limit up the street. I felt awkward sitting in the quiet car with her. I didn't know if I should bring up anything that happened.
"Did you sleep?" She suddenly asked.
I glanced at her as she focused on the road before us. Though she couldn't see me, I shook my head, "Not at all."
She did not reply after that and we sat in silence for many minutes before I decided to speak. "Where are we going?"
"I just needed to pick up a few things from the store." She told me. "Is that okay?" She grinned over at me.
I smiled back, "Yeah, it's fine."

As we walked side-by-side into the grocery store, I grabbed a shopping cart and pushed it along. Mrs. Young placed her purse where you would normally sit your kid so he couldn't run off.
I followed close behind her with the cart. We made our way over to the fruits and vegetables. She picked up some lettuce and a little further down picked up a package of white sliced cheese.
I continued behind her as we passed the bread and she felt the freshness of it before placing it in the shopping cart.
She grazed up against me as she walked around me to go down one of the aisles. I grinned, feeling like she had done it intentionally.
I looked her up and down as she was far enough ahead of me for me to do so. Her ass swayed as she slowly walked by the chocolate syrup bottles. I felt something stir in the crotch of my jeans as I continued to stare. Thoughts of last night popping into my head all on their own. No control. I leaned against the shopping cart as I followed Mrs. Young. She picked up a box of cocoa mix and placed it in the cart. Hot chocolate never seemed so appealing.

As we were checking out, I helped pick up the heavier things to be scanned. I noticed the short, blond girl about my age quickly bagging all of the groceries and putting them back in the shopping cart. She wasn't making eye contact with either of us. I thought her shyness was kind if cute. I gave her one last look before Mrs. Young and I walked out of the store with the groceries.
"I think that girl in there liked you." Mrs. Young said as we loaded all the groceries into the trunk of her Focus.
"What?" I exclaimed, shaking my head, "highly doubt it."
"Come on she was definitely blushing, she couldn't even look you in the eye."
"She was alright," I said, trying to drop the subject. I pushed the shopping cart across the lot to place it in the cart corral, then made my way back to Mrs. Young's car. She was already sitting inside and had started it.
We were almost back to the house when I noticed that we hadn't really spoken at all since I had gotten in the car. I felt the need to say something.
"What are you making for dinner?" I asked, deciding to go the simple route.
"Bacon sandwiches." She replied. "I used to make them all the time for Michael's dad before he started his job."
The mentioning of her husband quite frankly put me down. It was just another reminder that everything that had happened between the two of us was very wrong.
"Are you staying for dinner?" She decided to ask since I hadn't said anything else.
"Yeah," I replied, "bacon sandwiches sound great."
We were silent for a few more moments before Mrs. Young spoke up again. "Matthew, we really need to talk about what happened last night."
I swallowed hard, kind of surprised she actually brought it up on her own.
I nodded, "Yeah, we do."
