Early morning I was still in bed when my dad called to ask how I was doing; obviously wondering if I'm doing well in class. He was told what he needed to know-that I was getting good grades and making friends along the way. My mom, on the other hand, was the worrying type ever since I left home. Almost everyday she would call me, asking if I was sick or had enough to eat. No matter what I tell her she'll continue to ask questions and cry about it later on.
"Good to know" said dad, after telling him my grades. "That takes a load off my mind."
"How's mom?" I asked.
"She's fine. Lately she's worried that you're going to join a fraternity and end up in the street in your underwear."
"Really? Is that all she's worried about?"
"That and knocking up some girl. She keeps on telling me that she's too young to be a grandma."
"Are you kidding? I'm not planning on being a dad any time soon. I may be crazy but I'm not stupid."
"That's my boy."
My dad and I were always tight; could tell him any problem I had. The one thing I couldn't tell him and my mom was the continuous affair with my landlady. Mrs. Tate, or Sandy as she preferred, came from the bathroom wearing a denim shirt I recently received for my birthday. For a woman, old enough to be my own grandmother, she could still look as hot and irresistible as any young lady I've dated in the past.
What we've had going has been pretty intense-I'm talking some major orgy attacks. The excuse has always been the same; not paying the rent in time and making it up with a night in the bedroom.
Slowly, she crawled on my bed with a smile on her face and started massaging my legs. I already knew what she had in mind, even though it was very early. As much as I hated the idea I had to cut my conversation with my dad short.
"Listen, dad" I said, "I'm kind of busy at the moment. Can I call you back?"
"Studying hard I hope?, he asked.
"Yeah, I really got my hands full at the moment. Would you stop that?"
"Stop what?"
"Not you, dad. I had some company over the other night."
"Let me guess, you got a girl."
"A girl? No. What makes you think that?"
"Who are you kidding, Tommy? I can hear her giggling. It is a girl, right?"
"Yeah."
"Are you sure? Remember, always check for an extra body part."
"Dad, I know a woman when I see one."
"That's good. Looks like I won the bet."
"What bet?"
"Your aunt was betting me twenty dollars that you were gay."
"What? Aunt Betty thought I was gay? Why did she think that?"
"Back in high school when you had all those wrestling posters on the wall."
"Dad, they were my heroes. You know I was a big wrestling fan back then."
