I am not a writer, far from it. Except for the names and places, the stories you read are for the most part true. Still they are not biographies. Artistic license has been taken to enhance or in some cases minimize the events described. All sexual situations were between consensual adults within the framework of their story.
This is the fifth of the ten interviews I have worked on over the last three years.
Most of these stories cover several years. I will try to keep the chapters short. I suggest you save one for reference. None of the stories are mine, any personal friend, or relative.
Chapter Three.
Janice continues to find her way. James makes Janice his lover then answers the riddle.
*****
"One last item. I found this in my father's belongings in his desk. It seems to make no sense. I thought I should ask Latisha if she knows what it means. He handed a copy of the following to everyone but the lawyer.
What lies within is what you seek
Within these words secrets keep
To run around that will not do
To help your quest I leave a clue
You can see above. You can see below
When I am high. Or when I'm low
For when it rains I get not wet
To argue that I take the bet
I am happiest when here I go
If you truly see then you know
To what you seek is next in line
If you understand you're doing fine
If I were well above I rest
If not. To look below would be the best
Alas be there I am not
Instead alone I sit and rot
I find myself beneath this tree
I am losing hope and dignity
For journey's start and journey's end
If not look here or start again
For only the smartest I don't jest
To find the prize. You must stop and rest.
For upon me now most would sit
For the prize within just make a slit
We all looked at each other. No one had a clue what it meant or even if was relevant to us at all. Even the copy showed how old the original looked. Maybe it was something Harold picked up or found himself. Latisha slid it back across the table. I looked at mine and gave it back also. James took Robert's copy and ripped them up and threw it in the trash.
"I felt the same way. Just checking." James announced. "Any other questions?"
"Can we go now?" Latisha whined.
"Be my guest." James led them to the door and returned to the room.
James went immediately to the waste basket and retrieved the pieces of paper.
"Janice shred these yourself. Then come to Robert's office." James asked. I shredded the papers watching every scrap go through.
I looked at the empty chair of Mandy's wondering where she was. James and Robert were talking in the office. It was weird seeing Robert behind the desk.
"Mom..."
"Janice!" I scolded Robert.
"MOM! You will be joining Latisha the next two days as the auction company comes for inventory. You will be with her as they tag each piece. She has been put up in a hotel today until the inventory is completed. There is security on the premises as we speak." Robert explained. He sounded just like James when he took control like this.
"It's very important you act interested in anything bigger than a loaf of bread. At least pick it up and feel it. Maybe look inside. Anywhere they could hide money. Dressers. Cabinets. Hat boxes. If it's metal pick it up. Gold is heavy like lead. If you suspect anything make sure you write down the number." James added. "If you are really concerned alert security and have them take it after its tagged and they will secure it. They work for us. "
"What did that riddle mean?" I asked James.
"Ask Robert he's the boss."
"Bobby do you know?" I asked. He cringed as I called him by his nick name.
"Mom I don't?" Robert replied.
"James do you?" I knew he avoided the question. But I couldn't pass up the chance to zing Bobby.
"I'm not sure!" He grinned.
"I may not be your lover yet but I am your mother and I DO know when you are lying!" I stared him down.
"Mom! Why are you saying that out loud? I am standing right here!" Bobby cringed.
"Well your brother sent me to see Becky. She has us all but married. I figured if she knew you may as well know too!" I stared at James.
"Look I thought that was over years ago. If you two want to..."
"You're ok with that?" I asked stunned.
"Mom I fuck guys! They fuck me. What you two do behind closed doors is none of my business. If you're happy, I am happy for you. Just keep the affection in pubic to a kiss or two if I am around! Ok?" Robert looked at James then me. He was so embarrassed.
I moved to him and kissed his cheek and pulled him tight.
"I love you Robert. I am so proud to have you as my son!" I kissed him again.
"Now about the riddle?" I turned to James again.
"We need to go see dad." James replied. Robert you coming with us?
"Nah I will meet you there I have some business to attend to afterwards." Robert explained.
James and I were in his car. The leather felt sensuous on my bare ass.
I filled him in on Becky and how it went at her house. Word for word. James almost seemed pleased.
"Where is Mandy?" I asked. I was determined to get an answer.
"She was upset after she left you this morning. I sent her home."
"Did she say why?" I asked.
"Look mom..."
"Don't you dare call me mom! We aren't going back there. You can call me Janice, Jan or slut but I will never be just your mom again!" I shouted at him.
"You used the love as a safe word for a reason. You didn't want to hear me say it. When we were with Sorina I didn't even know I said it but I must have. It was what I felt. Last night again I said what I felt and you stopped again. I cried all night wondering why you left! You hurt me!" I yelled some more.
"Then this morning Mandy said she thought she may be falling in love with me. It dawned on me then. It hurt to hear her say it. I love her but I didn't want her to love me! That is the way you feel isn't it. Tell me the truth!" James pulled into an empty lot and stopped.
"I do love you Janice. I want so bad to show you how much. But I can't. Not right now. Maybe tomorrow or the next day but not at this minute! James was starting to cry. I had never seen him cry since. I can't remember when.
"I do love you James but I need you to hear it. I love you! I am in love with you and I want to make love with you. I need you. I need you to keep doing what we have been doing. I need to be your slut! Maybe not tomorrow or the next day but for now I need it!" We were face to face hand in hand. "Please don't leave me like that again. If you can't fuck me I understand. But don't abandon me."
"I promise you. I won't!" He sobbed.
"It's been almost ten years since the first time you asked for my help to the day I let you take a shower with me? I can still remember the feel of your cum as it landed on my tits and stomach. How you tried to apologize and how fast you recovered when I stroked your hard cock." I reminded him.
"How you sucked and bit my nipples. How you shot your second load up my back as I stroked your cock with the crack of my ass. Your cum sliding down the same ass dripping from the cunt lips you found so mesmerizing." I kissed his lips gently.
"I have waited ten years for you to come back to me. I can wait longer but I can't make you stay. My heart has been bruised. Leave me if you must but don't say you want me then take off. That would break my heart forever!"
James pulled me into a long sensuous kiss. His hand gripped my tit through my blouse and pinched my nipple.
"You have my word! And you still have the best tit's I have ever seen!" He teased as his tears started drying on his cheek. He kissed me once again.
We continued driving I was the happiest I have been. We finally had the talk. I was still in the dark about Mandy but that could wait for now. Robert was waiting for us as we walked in hand in hand. I had a new bounce in my step. Robert noticed.
"Are you married yet?" He teased.
"Soon I hope!" I teased back. I looked at James he wasn't laughing. He looked at Harold studying him intensely. It was like he was willing him to get better or worse.
The hit me like a freight train. Harold! It was Harold. I can still remember the words when Becky told him we were in the shower together. He barged in and said "What the fuck are you doing with my wife!"
Oh I have been so blind. James was just nineteen the first time. There was almost a second time on several occasions. I all but threw myself at him. He would come so close but he always left before we did anything serious. Even after Harold and I divorced.
`
Now here is his dad. James must hear the words in his brain every time we get close to stepping over that line.
