One Stormy Night
Chapter One β The Storms
Emily and Caleb were returning from a two-week visit with her sister, Gloria. They had gotten a late start and now it looked like they were going to have to pay for it.
"The storm is approaching Haleyville and Highway 216. It should arrive within the next half-hour. All persons should take shelter as soon as possible. You can expect strong winds and heavy rain with possible hail. Travel is not recommended!" the radio blared as Emily drove along looking at the dark cloud approaching from the west.
"I guess we're not going to make it home tonight. Better stop somewhere along here because I'm certainly not driving through that thing!" Emily said, nervously looking at the ominous dark clouds.
"Want me to drive?" Caleb, always the adventurer, asked, more out of bravado than any real desire to drive through the oncoming storm.
"No! I'm not going to take a chance," Emily fussed. "I know that you're a good driver, but better safe than sorry..."
"Okay," Caleb agreed, actually thankful that his mother had decided not to go on.
"We've still got the sandwiches left from lunch. And the wine in the cooler. We won't even have to go out to eat. It'll be like a picnic, a picnic in the storm," she nervously laughed.
Well, that would give them more time together, Caleb thought to himself. This being his senior year in high school, he would be going away to college pretty soon. He'd really enjoyed his time with his mother on this visit. He couldn't explain the difference in their relationship on this trip, but something seemed to have changed between them. She seemed to be treating him more like a man than her son. He couldn't put his finger on exactly what it was, but there was just something different. And he liked that difference! They somehow seemed closer now. And away from home, away from his father, Bud, she had become a different woman. A woman, he sickly thought. Not just Mom! She seemed more at ease, more relaxed, more adventurous. Why she had even bungee-jumped with him. She would never have done that at home. At least he didn't think she would.
"There's a motel right up there with a vacancy sign," she grinned over at him. "It'll be nice to get out from behind this wheel anyway..."
Caleb sat in the car watching the storm draw closer and closer as the sky grew turned to a deep purple while his mother went into the motel office. The wind was swirling around the parking lot, whipping clouds of debris into the air and tossing it about.
Then he saw his mother come striding out of the motel office with the key in her hand. As she did, it was hard not to notice the bobbling flounce of her big breasts under her thin blouse. Ashamed of himself, he wondered what they really looked like underneath their covering of cloth. They were big; he knew that by the way she filled out her blouse...
"Got one," Emily told him pitching him the key as she crawled into the car.
Caleb felt another jolt of shame as his eyes dropped down to her thigh when she slid under the steering wheel. He was rewarded with a flash of creamy white thigh before she reached down and huffily pulled her skirt back down. She'd spent most of the afternoon trying to keep her short skirt from riding up her shapely legs and Caleb had spent most of his time sneaking peeks over at them.
Hey, he told himself, he couldn't help it if his mother had pretty legs! He was a guy after all, and she was a woman! A beautiful woman...
"Last time I wear a short skirt on a long trip," she muttered, cranking the car.
"I didn't mind," Caleb nervously joked, "besides you got great gams, Mom!"
"Thank you, but they're hardly what my son should be gawking at all day long," she fussed, turning into their parking spot in front of their room. "Don't you think?"
"Hey, what can I say? I'm a growing boy in case you haven't noticed," he smirked back at her, hoping he wasn't going over the line.
"Oh, I've noticed," she shot back, turning off the ignition. "Better hurry, looks like the storm is just about here."
And what did she mean by that remark? "Oh, I've noticed!" Was there some hidden meaning in it that he didn't know?
Five minutes later, they were safely tucked away inside their room and had everything stowed away as the first big drops of rain began to splat down in the parking lot. Looking out the window, Caleb watched the big, round circles of water quickly merge into each other and cover the ground with a glistening sheen of rain.
Then he saw a flash of lightning in the distance as the forked fury vented its anger on earth. It was quite a ways off and it took several seconds for the rumble of thunder to finally find them.
"Looks like it's here," Emily said, stepping up beside him to watch out the window, too.
"Yep," he said, suddenly feeling a strange sense of self-consciousness.
What was wrong with him, he asked as the fragrance of his mother's flowery perfume wafted over him, mixing with the smell of the rain and adding a new, unfamiliar sense of intimacy to the whole thing. Then he felt her hip brush up against his for the briefest of moments as she turned and walked over to the cooler.
"Want some wine?" she asked, flipping open the lid to the cooler and pulling out a bottle.
"Sure," he grinned, walking over to join her.
Standing back at the window with his wine, he watched the flashes of lightning getting closer and closer while the sky grew darker and darker. The storm and dusk seemed to be working in cahoots with dusk to snuff out daylight as night rapidly raced to cover the town. Caleb watched as lights began to blink on outside. They all had a fuzzy, blurry look as he looked out through the rain-smeared glass and the pouring rain.
Lightning darted and danced over the motel filling the sky above them with a dazzling display of aerial fireworks. The accompanying symphony of thunder added a sense of excited suspense to the whole thing. It was almost as if it were an overture to something...something big...something even grander. But much more foreboding.
"The storm is over Haleyville and should last for about another thirty minutes," the weathercaster said from the television set. "But there is another more severe storm approaching just behind this one. There should be about a twenty minute lull between the storms but be prepared for an even more impressive light show when the second cell moves over..."
"I don't know what it is, but there's something so, so exciting about a thunder storm," Emily murmured. "Exciting and frightening. It makes me feel all nervous and jittery inside..."
At that very moment, there was a blinding flash of light outside the window and everything went dark. A half a moment later, the room was shaken by a deafening crash of thunder.
"Oh, my Goodness!" Caleb heard his mother huff under her breath.
"You okay?" he asked her, unable to see her in the pitch black.
"Uh, yeah, just a little more frightened now," she murmured, her voice coming closer.
Then he felt something soft and giving brush up against his arm, jostling his glass of wine as the air around him was once again filled with the heady fragrance of Lilacs.
"Oops!" he heard his mother mumble, as another flash of light filled the room and Caleb found their faces only inches apart.
Staring into each other's eyes for that brief instant, neither of them moved. But this flash of lightning seemed to flicker on forever as they stood transfixed, frozen in time, the air around them sparking and hissing with electricity and excitement! Caleb suddenly had an almost overpowering urge to kiss her! He could almost feel her hot breath on his lips as the distance between their lips seemed to shrink. Then the lightning was gone and they were back in the dark but their lips touched ever so lightly for a fleeting moment.
"Uh, sorry," she nervously coughed and Caleb felt the soft pressure of her breast leave his arm. "Didn't mean to bump into you!"
"That's okay," he mumbled. "It's darker than the ace of spades in here."
"I'm glad that we have the wine," she anxiously laughed. "I'd be scared witless if I were completely sober. The wine takes the edge off everything. Speaking of which..."
Then Caleb heard the tinkle of glass against glass as she was apparently trying to refill her glass with more wine. There had been something sickly exciting and stirring about their brief encounter. He couldn't put a finger on precisely what had happened. But he swore that their lips had actually touched. While it wasn't really a kiss, it was close enough to get the motors running. It seemed that they had been close to kissing, and he wanted to give it another chance as he slowly started shuffling toward where he thought his mother stood. Groping in the dark, he felt a spark of electricity jolt up his arm as his fingers nudged up against something soft and giving. It was her breast again. Even hidden inside her brassiere, it had a soft pliancy to it.
"Oops! Sorry," he lied, holding his hand pressed against it for a moment before reluctantly pulling his hand back away from it.
The room was suddenly filled with light again and they found themselves only inches apart for a second time. Their eyes met for another brief instant and something dark and sinister seemed to pass between them. The air around them crackled and became unbearably hot. It was difficult to breathe and Caleb felt a sheen of perspiration pop out on his forehead!
Then his mother gave out a soft, nervous cough and stepped back. Turning away from him, she stumbled back over to the window and looked out into the stormy night.
What was going on, he asked himself? Something had just happened between them! But what? He could sense the charged atmosphere of the room. He couldn't put his finger on just exactly what was happening, but he swore something had happened in that brief moment their lips had touched.
