I loved going to see my son. It had been over a month and seeing him was always such a treat, he looked after me so well, always took the day off work when he knew I was making the journey to see him. I got off the train and could see him the other side of the ticket barrier. I waved to him and wheeled my case up the platform. The train, luckily, hadn't been too busy and I had been able to sit in my selected seat without the too frequent arguments when someone had already taken my reserved seat. Not today, easy travelling.
"Jacob," I said, air kissing him and hugging him."
"Mother. Let me take your bag."
I followed him to the rank, we queued for perhaps five minutes and then got in a black cab. Jacob gave the driver the address, and we were off. It was about 25 minutes by Taxi to his house and Jacob and I made small talk as the taxi driver negotiated the horrendous city traffic. I would never drive to Jacob's, impossible to park, congestion charges, roadworks on the motorways, no. I went by train and Jacob met me.
I stood by the taxi as Jacob paid the driver and then followed him and my small suitcase to the front door. Jacob unlocked, opened and pushed the door in, and I stepped through. I adored the aroma in Jacobs house. He was an excellent cook, and there was always the smell of fresh pastry, today was no exception.
"I have made babka for you mother. Let me just get the kettle on. You know where your room and the bathroom is if you want to freshen up."
"Thank you darling, I will." I took my suitcase up to my room, lifted it onto the bed and flipped it open. I dived into the ensuite and sat on the loo to relive myself. Ooh, a little damp down there. I pulled my panties off and stood over a towel at the sink and washed myself, then dabbed dry with a towel. Back in the bedroom I found a fresh pair of panties, camisole knickers, let the air flow, keep me fresh. My damp panties I put in my laundry bag to clean later or when I got home.
Refreshed I went back downstairs.
"In the conservatory mum, and I am just making the tea."
"Thank you darling, I walked through the dining room and into the conservatory. The Babka was on the table with some side plates, forks and napkins. I sat on the cane sofa by the table, I assumed Jacob would sit opposite.
He came in with two cups of tea in his bone china service and placed them on the table.
"Well then mother."
"Yes Jacob, well then."
"Journey good?"
"One of the better ones. Oh, it is so good to see you." I cast a critical eye over him. He looked fit, not overweight, but I saw that he filled his shirt nicely, and of course, a nice tight bulge elsewhere. Yes, he looked good. I sat back in the sofa, relaxing with my tea, my knees apart a little but my ankles together.
"I have the rest of the day to catch up, but am very busy at work, so sadly we will only have early mornings and evenings together."
"That is absolutely fine darling, I can't expect you to drop everything just because your old mum comes down." I was, if honest, a little disappointed.
"Don't mother, you are not old, you are just older. How is dad?"
"Either at work or on his allotment. I suppose it is worth his while because we do get some good vegetables, much better than in the shops, but we only get those in season, and then we get too many."
"Get a chest freezer mother, you can store the excess in that."
"I suppose. I guess it could go in the end of the garage. We don't use it for a car."
"Dad okay dropping you off at the station?"
"Yes, no problem. I just have to let him know when I shall be back and he will collect me."
"And eating whilst you are here? He never was much of a cook."
I laughed, no, he really wasn't.
"UberEATS I expect." I said.
"Well, I have a table booked at GastroSe'ed, it is Michelin starred and it is a short taxi drive away. I can easily cancel if you are too tired though."
"Don't be silly, I would love to go out with my handsome son to a good restaurant."
We sat, nibbled at our babka and drank our tea, chatted about nothing and then I asked the question I always ask.
"Girlfriend yet, only grandbabies are expected you know."
"No Mother, and no I am still not gay, I have just not met the right one."
"Oh that is so sad for you and so sad for me."
