I believe the saying goes, "fuck your mom once, shame on her. Fuck her twice, shame on you", or something like that. To be honest with you, I didn't really feel that bad about it. It's not like something that will ever even come up to Kelly and there seemed to be an unspoken agreement that it would be the last time. After all, it wouldn't be long before they were married.
Kelly got home that night and things seemed to get back to normal. We had dinner together. We watched some TV together. We went to bed. They had quite loud sex for about an hour as I was in my room listening and masturbating. So, I guess it might be incorrect to say things went back to normal. Let's call this the new normal.
To be honest, as much as all of this was probably unhealthy behavior, it really seemed to be helping me. When I would hang out with them at night, I would tell them about how I was feeling about the whole situation with Sarah. In those moments, it wasn't my mom who I had just slept with and the women who I almost slept with that is now sleeping with and engaged to her. Instead, it was just two women who cared about me helping me get through a tough time.
Unfortunately, there was a little break in our little therapy sessions when my mom head to head out of town, "I wish I would have known that you were going to be here, Ryan. I wouldn't have committed to this conference. Lord knows I don't want to be there anyways."
"It's okay mom, It's only a couple of days."
Kelly chimed in, "I'll take good care of him! Don't worry, Julia."
"And who's going to take care of you," she asked Kelly as she planted a kiss on her fiancé's lips.
"I suppose Miguel will have to take care of me," she said with a devilish grin on her face.
I'm not always the most observant person but context clues told me Miguel might be one of their toys not meant for children and that I should probably not ask any questions. If the context wasn't enough, the deer in the headlights look they both gave me after Kelly's statement said it all.
"Guys, let's just move on."
"Movie time," my mom said slightly louder than an inside voice due to feeling uncomfortable.
That night went just like the rest of our nights had been. In the morning, my mom got up pretty early as her conference was a three-hour drive away. I set an alarm to try to get up to say good bye to her in the morning. I had become somewhat lazy since I got back home and this was a good two hours earlier than I had normally been getting up. Unfortunately, I ended up missing her. Apparently, Kelly was used to my normal time getting up and wasn't expecting to have anyone moving about the house. I walked out into the kitchen to find her getting her coffee and wearing nothing but a thong and a tiny white tee. She also clearly had no bra on.
"Good morning," I tried to say in the least startling tone possible but I still scared her.
"Jesus! Good morning, Ryan. Shit! Sorry, I wasn't expecting you to be up yet," she muttered as she attempted to cover herself up. It was an admirable attempt but there's no hiding her curves.
I laughed and replied, "You definitely don't need to apologize. I actually think I should be thanking you. This is an amazing way to wake up."
"You naughty little thing. Flirting with your mom's lover," she said with a smirk.
"Honestly, who says lover?"
"You're just jealous. You had a chance but your mom didn't miss hers," she teased.
"Yeah, she's pretty lucky."
"I'm the lucky one. It's too bad you'll never get to experience what it's like to sleep with Julia," she said as she read the uncomfortable look on my face, no doubt misinterpreting why I was uncomfortable, "Sorry. I have a weird sense of humor."
"It's totally fine. I'm just not used to you saying her name so quietly. You're normally screaming it at the top of your lungs," I said and she promptly laughed and punched me. We both finished drinking our coffee.
Eventually, Kelly had to leave for her shift. It was somewhat of a relief because she seemed to become very comfortable being around me in that outfit. Conversely, it was becoming very uncomfortable for me trying to hide how much I enjoyed seeing her in that outfit. She honestly had a similar body type to my mom's but, due to her younger age, it was just a little tighter across the board. That's no disrespect to my mom as she was still in great shape.
Once she left, I found that I was incredibly bored being at the house by myself. It wasn't just because there wasn't anything good on TV and I couldn't find much on Netflix that I really wanted to watch. I honestly just missed hanging out with the two of them. We would have conversations with each other with no TV or any distraction even on in the background. We would just sit together with coffee or wine or whatever and just talk to each other, enjoying each other's company. So, eventually I got stir crazy being at home. I decided to go to the bar and see how Kelly's shift was going.
When I got there, I found her behind the bar. She looked up as I walked through the door and said with a big smile, "Hey Ryan! Missed me?"
"Yes, actually."
"Aww, that's sweet! Can I get you a drink?"
"That would be great! Can I just have a whiskey on the rocks?"
"Coming up!"
"So, when did you move behind the bar?" I asked.
"It's been a couple of years now. I'm actually managing the bar now!"
"Oh, that's awesome! Congratulations!"
"Thanks," she said as she prepared to whiskeys, sat one in front of me, grabbed the other and raised it towards me, "cheers."
I met her glass, "Cheers."
It might not have been helpful for her tips, but it was helpful for my boredom that the bar wasn't very crowded. That meant that we were able to spend most of the night just hanging out. Essentially, we got to have that date that we didn't last time.
I found myself feeling a lot of regret for not doing so back then. However, I've never seen my mom happier so I guess it was for the best in the end. She was a very fun, smart, and entertaining woman and I'm glad that my mom found her. That being said, I was getting drunker and drunker and becoming more and more aware of how beautiful and sexy she was. For better or worse, I don't think this attraction was one-sided. Either way, I needed to get these feelings in check because I could never do that to my mom. Putting the sex aside, my mom was truly a great mom and she was in love with this woman. I did my best to behave myself and lead the conversation in less flirtatious directions.
Eventually, we got to closing time at the bar. We could see those who were in the bar attempting to figure out their potential hookup situations. That energy lead to some nervous laughter between Kelly and I. Once everyone cleared out, I helped Kelly in cleaning up the bar and then she eventually drove us home.
Despite the palpable tension between the two of us, we both managed to behave and went to our individual rooms once we got home. But, even though I went to my room, that doesn't mean I was able to get to sleep. I guess my heart was racing a little bit too quickly still to go to sleep. So, I decided to go to the kitchen to make some chamomile tea hoping that would help get me ready to go to sleep.
At first, it certainly seemed to be working. I felt a little calmer. I started reading the newspaper that was sitting there which helped me keep my mind off of things. Despite my efforts, it was all reversed in a second when I heard footsteps coming down the hallway. I looked up and obviously it was Kelly that walked into the kitchen. She was again wearing her typical outfit of a thong and a tiny t-shirt.
I tried to keep the energy playful and not flirty, "Wow we're really making a habit of running into each other like this."
She, however, did not have a look on her face that indicated any level of playfulness. After a few moments, she managed to say, "yes, but this time it isn't really an accident."
Even though I knew what she meant, I asked, "What do you mean?"
"I think you know what I mean. I think you felt it too. We both still have curiosity about this."
