It didn't happen when it started, it never does, but I will get there I promise. But first let me start with what did happened.
It had been a great four years, mom, dad and my sister Kim came up to commencements and watched me walk across the stage and receive my college diploma! Big deal you say? Yeah looking back it seems kind of ordinary to me too, but for my family it was a big deal. Since coming to America, I was the first in my family to do it.
Carl my dad, and Karen my mom worked hard and long to help me pay for it. Sure I have some student loans to pay off but without their financial support I would have been stuck in some community college. Not knocking it for some, but with my goals, I always wanted, hell I will need a real sheepskin.
I cleaned the dorm, yeah no apartment for me, no fraternity, I knew the value of a dollar especially when it was moms. The old Ford was tired and had seen better days, but it was trusty and free thanks to my grandmother. Loaded with the few things not given away or thrown away I was headed back to the one place I missed most, home.
Mom had a party with all the friends and family. As always it was in the house and small back yard I grew up in. It was a great time, I was happy for myself of course, but happier for my parents. They had worked so hard and had given up so much, this was as much for them as it was for me. Besides with all they have been through the past few years, this was... it was special.
The whole family showed up, not sure if it was to congratulate me or mom's cooking. A free dinner is always sure to bring a big crowd. Some old friends from the neighborhood showed up, that was definitely for the food! It was almost dark when the last of them left. Dad offered to stay but I assured him I would help mom. He needed to get to bed, four thirty in the morning would be here soon enough. Kim had milled around most of the party watching me. She had that look that I knew all so well. When dad went upstairs, she grabbed the keys and left. I looked at mom but did not say a word.
I cleaned the grill, double checking the gas was off and placed in its rightful place. My dad may be a working man but he was clean and organized. I took one last lap around the yard making sure there was no evidence of a party, except for his beloved grass being trampled, it looked great. Inside mom was just turning on the dishwasher. She wiped off the counter, I moved beside her, bumped her side with my hip.
"Thanks, that was very nice." I offered.
Mom turned to face me only after she finished wiping the last square inch of the counter.
"You're welcome!" Karen stood on her toes and kissed my cheek. Her hand lingered on the side of my face a bit too long. She turned and looked out the kitchen window to where dad's car was moments before.
"So, what is it now?" Even as I asked I knew I shouldn't.
"Not tonight Adam, this night is yours!" Mom turned to me and kissed me again on the cheek. "Come sit with me and tell me all about your plans." She said.
We went to the living room and sat on the couch. I was against the arm, mom leaned against me, her back against my chest. My right arm was around her waist my hand resting on her thigh. Mom snuggled tight and closed her eyes. She let out a sigh and just sat there for a long moment.
"I missed you, things are not the same when you are gone." She whispered.
I wanted to say something, but she had warned me earlier.
"It is good to be home. I'll see if I can't stick around a bit this time but..."
"But what?" Karen asked. She opened her eyes and turned to look at me.
"Well the job I want may require I travel a bit." I replied being a bit vague.
I could tell she wanted to talk about this but she must have decided now was not the time. She eased back into me and closed her eyes. We talked briefly but she was tired. When she started to fall asleep I woke her.
"Mom, why don't you go up. I will wait for her!" Slowly she opened her eyes and realizing what I said she smiled.
"You would do that?" She asked quietly. I nodded. She gripped my hand and then kissed me one last time. "Be nice but firm honey." I watched her ascend the steps, her body still looked good, she looked weary.
Fresh out of college and a cram all night studying champion at that, my sister did not stand a chance, beside her curfew was midnight. What scared me was not when she would come home but what would happen when she did.
Kim showed up almost to the second of her curfew, probably was down the street timing it out. She opened the door quietly, probably hoping mom was sleeping on the couch.
"Oh, it's you! Where is mom?" Kim seemed annoyed with me. I quickly scanned her attire. It was not what she left the house wearing. Kim is not a knockout but she is good looking, well when she is not dressed like this she is. Tall and slender, she small B cup tits barely hidden behind a thin cutoff spaghetti strap tee shirt and a thinner bra. Her nipples easily highlighted their firmness. I noticed one more tattoo above the waist band of her too short shorts, the bottoms barely covering her tight ass cheeks. More tattoo's, small ones on her legs one under the thin strap of her 4 inch high heels. Her bright red hair, much brighter than her natural color, was highlighted with purple. She looked like a freckled street hooker lollipop!
"I told her I would wait up for you." I explained calmly. Kim looked around and seeing we were alone, changed her approach.
"So the favorite one gets to stay up late?" She was trying to get me to play her game.
I was smart, she was smarter. I was older she knew how to manipulate. I was stubborn, she was bullheaded. I was polite, she was ruthless. I was predictable, she would do anything to avoid being so. I had played her games in the past, she usually won, if not she would make sure I lost in the end. The one thing they did not teach me in school or college was how to deal with my sister. That my friends was learned the hard way. I learned every time I burned. My best defense was no defense. Just don't start the war!
"I told mom I would wait until you got home. You are home, I am going to bed." I was calm and firm, but I was not quick.
"Let me give you a graduation kiss!" Kim jumped on my lap and forced her lips against mine. Her breath smelled like beer. At nineteen she was not legal and on top of that she was driving dad's car. If he knew he would kill her, that was their only car. If she wrecked that he and mom would have to take the bus to work again. I knew resisting would only make her more aggressive. I sat there as she pushed her tits to my chest. I still did not resist. Kim tried to slip me her tongue, this I did resist. God she could be so passionate, but I stuck to my guns. She continued to kiss me then reached between us and found my cock. It was starting to stiffen, she murmured against my mouth. She was winning.
I may be no match for her in many ways but I was in one. At six foot one I was taller, stronger and outweighed her by almost twice. I gripped her arms lifted her up and moved her to the side. I stood, holding her in place breaking the kiss.
"Thank you, it was a very nice kiss." I was walking away when she yelled at my back.
"Was it better than mom's?" I stopped and was going to turn, but knew better than to extend the discussion.
"I would not wake dad if I was you! You have been drinking and I assume driving 'his' car. That would not go over well for anyone in this house!" Maybe it sobered her up a bit maybe not, but it did have the effect I needed, it ended the conversation. I had won nothing and we both knew it.
I went to bed that night knowing things would get worse before they got better, with Kim it always worked that way. With the drama of finishing school, the party and Kim, I slept surprisingly well.
It had been a long time since I had woken up with no real goal in mind for the day, or week or year you could say. I went to the kitchen, mom was just getting ready to leave for work.
"Will you be here for dinner?" She asked, her back to me.
"Yeah. no big plans just yet. I have some interviews set up but they are next week. I could start tomorrow but hope to get the job I want, not just any job." Mom looked at me, kissed my cheek and started for the door.
"Got to go honey, see you tonight. Hope it all works out for you, any company would be lucky to have you!" Karen slipped through the screen door stopped then looked back. "Adam please be careful." She looked up the staircase.
I closed the front door behind her, watching her jump in her ride to work. I looked up the stairs with a feeling of trepidation. The first few days went by smoothly, Kim waited for the last minute to leave for work. Her friend was sitting out front honking the horn knowing they would be cutting it close.
I made the best of my free time. Had the car serviced, bought a few new clothes for interviews, updated my resume. As the week wore on a sort of calm came over the house. Dad was in a good mood, mom ever attentive seemed to enjoy my presence as well. Kim was, well you never knew, except that she stayed home Wednesday night instead of going out. Maybe she was happy I was home as well.
Thursday mom asked if I would wait up for Kim, happily I agreed. Kim came home at exactly midnight, she did not look very happy. Her mood was soon confirmed moments after she walked in the door.
"So where is your girlfriend? She dump you knowing you were coming back to your mommy?" Kim lashed out.
That was a sore subject in more ways than one. Kim knew Jessica left me months ago and why. Pouring salt in the wound was unnecessary. As for my mother, I still don't know why she is so suspicious of her, well maybe I do, but still...
