Payback's A Bitch, Mom
Dear Lit. Forums,
So I'm writing a post here on Literotica, right. You know I have some dirty secrets to tell. I don't even care if you know my name, or where I live, or anything. I'm Cindy, and my dad's name is Carl, and my mom's name is Martha. If you ask me, Martha is a really ugly name. It fits my mom to a T because she's a very ugly person.
We live in this backwater town named Hemet, which is about an hour north of Temecula, in Southern California. Hey, if you want to come and pay me a house call, I live on 2171 West Florida, Hemet, Ca, 92543. I don't know why anyone would want to waste their time and drive out here, but whatever.
Hemet is the kind of place where you can't even sneeze and everybody in town is talking about it. About all there is to do out here is get drunk, get laid, and go lose money at the local casino, which is called Soboba, because you really want to know that. That's where I work, as a cocktail waitress who gets to wear a stupid gold and black uniform with black stockings.
I'm 18. I have sandy blonde and not dirty blonde hair. I have a decent enough figure, compared to how most of the women out here just let themselves go and pig out all the time. That's what my mom did. She let herself go for years and years. She's all bloated now and mad at me because I still have a waistline and she doesn't.
This is what happened that set me off, okay. One day about a month ago, I was at home with my dad Carl. He called me into the living room and said he wanted to talk to me. He gave me my cell phone, which I had been looking for all over the place and thought I'd lost. As it turns out, my mom had taken it the night before. While I was at work, she'd gone through it and seen some of my pictures.
Okay, now let me explain something to you. Hemet is surrounded by hills and mountains. Most of the year it's fucking hot as hell out here, and when it isn't hot it's freezing ass. On top of that, half of town smells like cow shit because of all the ranches. When the breeze is blowing the right way, the entire valley smells like cow shit.
What makes it worse is that people from Hemet don't like to do anything. They'll sit at home and fester, in a house that's also sitting and festering, in a town that's sitting and festering. People in Hemet just like to fester.
My friends and I, we like to go out and do stuff, just to get out of town. We'll hit up Temecula, or go to a casino that lets young people like me in, or if there's a concert going on in Coachella, we'll drive way out there.
What happened is that one day we drove out to this place in Palm Springs to have a good time. I went into the bathroom with a couple of my girlfriends. Since we were all screwing around and laughing anyway, we thought it would be fun to start taking selfies. These were PG rated selfies, okay. We posed and made faces at the mirror. We showed off our butts, with our pants still on, and we grabbed each other like lesbos and pretended we were making out. The worst that was in those pictures was that the three of us pulled up our blouses and showed off our bras, but that was it.
My mom stole my phone and went through my pictures, when she had no right to do that to me. She must have hit the roof, because she had to go and recruit my dad and tell him to confront me about it. Is it my fault that my mom got herself fat, and that she doesn't have any fun in her life like I am?
Well, my dad isn't the asshole that my mom is. All he really said was that I should be careful to not leave my phone where my mom can get it. I ended up blowing up at him anyway, because my mom had no right to go into my things and I needed to vent.
I went into my room and cooled off, and I started thinking about how I was going to get back at my mom. I'd already been thinking about moving out, but the rents are really expensive out here. I didn't trust that my friends would pay their share if we got a place together. I could have moved in with a guy, but that would have been even worse because the guys around here have like zero ambition. They sit around all day and smoke weed, and the ones that do work play video games all day when they're home. Some of these guys live in trailers, and I'm sorry, but trailers and me don't go together. I don't think so! It was going to take me months to save up for my own apartment. That meant that for the time being, I would have to stay home and suffer under my mom's roof and my mom's stupid rules. Why couldn't she just let me be myself?
I went over and apologized to my dad later, because it hadn't been his fault and I wasn't really mad at him. He said he understood the situation. I know he was having his own problems with my mom, because I heard them fighting more and more often.
When my mom came home, I stayed in my room. That wasn't enough for her, because she came in and started a big fight with me anyway. Once she was done venting, I knew I had to find a way to get back at her, a way that would sting her just like she was doing to me. I didn't come up with anything by the time I went to sleep.
My dad didn't have to work the next day. While we were having breakfast in the kitchen, which he made for us and not for my mother, I had a good talk with him. I asked him if he was fed up with my mother and he said he was. I asked him if he'd cheated on my mother, and I guess he felt like being honest when he answered. He said he'd never had sex with another woman while he'd been married, but that he had taken a coworker out to lunch and had ended up messing around with her once or twice.
I pushed him for more details, but at first he didn't want to tell me. When he gave up, he said all he'd really done was taken this woman out and talked to her. I guess she had three or four kids. Her husband stayed home in a trailer and did nothing all day, while she went out and worked to pay their bills. My dad said it was more that he felt sorry for this woman, and how she must have felt sorry for him. Neither of them was in love with their spouses, but they were stuck with them and had no real way out. My dad said that when he messed around with that woman, he only held her and kissed her. He said it was 100% about their emotions and not about sex.
I felt really bad when I heard that, but Hemet does that to people. It just kills their dreams and causes people to stagnate. All they do for the rest of their lives is sit there and fester away.
I asked my dad more about this woman, and why didn't he just leave my mom and go live with her. He shocked me when he told me how old she was. She was only 25, compared to his 39, and he said it would probably be the talk of the town if word got out that they were having an affair.
He was right. People would be saying all sorts of nasty things about both of them, and not only because they were both married to other people. My dad would be called a pervert and a cradle-robber, and this woman would have been called a slut and a gold-digger. Not only would that woman's husband have gotten to hear vicious rumors like that, but so would her kids at school. On my end, people would be saying things to me too, about my dad. That's how it is in Hemet; people here suck like that.
I kept thinking that day, how my mom represented everything that was wrong with Hemet, and how I really needed to get out of there before some asshole got me pregnant and turned me into the typical Hemet loser. My mom deserved Hemet, but not my dad. He deserved a lot better than her, and a lot better than that town.
I could hear my parents fighting later when my mom got home. My dad kept trying to avoid the argument, but my mom kept badgering him until he finally fought back. I only heard part of it because I left for work. This time I made sure I took my phone with me.
While I was out of the house, I wondered if it would be a good idea if I tried to get my dad and this other woman together. That would really burn my mom's ass, I thought, if my dad ran away with another woman. Especially if that woman was so much younger than my mother. I was so fed up with my mom by then that I would be willing to expose the affair, if only to make them break up and get divorced. Still, my dad's little scam was a woman with a lot of kids to drag around...
There were other younger women in town, I thought, that might help me break my parents up. Heck, I worked with a lot of younger women at my job. During my breaks, I went around and showed some of the girls a picture of my dad, and I asked them if they thought he was good looking. Half of them said he was so-so, and the other half said they'd do him. This was really funny, because I had no idea that some of these girls, in their late teens and early twenties, would even give my dad a second glance.
One of these women was Robin, who is 19 years old like me. She asked me what it was all about. I told her how my mom and dad weren't getting along, and how I thought my dad would be happier without my mom. Robin told me to wait for her after work. I did and we had a talk. Robin said that when she wanted to get a man's attention, she'd send them nude selfies of her. If the guy thought she was hot, he'd send her a picture back. If they ended up sleeping together, Robin would end up taking pictures of them nude, or at his place, or in some way that there was no doubt that they'd messed around. Later, if the ex, current, or future girlfriend of that guy wanted to start some shit up with Robin, she'd tell them to fuck off and send them pictures of her and the guy.
