It was Friday morning and Geoff had said his goodbyes first thing He didn't however take the time to give me a kiss goodbye though. I knew I should be pissed at him about it but I was just finding that I cared less and less. He had to go to work but was leaving straight after work to go to his work conference. Jerome seemed a bit down and after Geoff left I spoke to him about it.
"What's up Jerome? You don't look too happy."
"I'm okay."
"Mhmm clearly. You know you can still talk to me. You'll never be too old to confide in your Mum."
He smiled and shook his head as though I had told some kind of joke but he opened up anyway.
"Oh I guess I'm just bummed that Dad isn't going to be here to help. I'm leaving for college and it's a pretty big deal for me. I just wish he could have been here for it."
In that moment I was pissed at Geoff for putting his wants ahead of Jerome's needs but that wasn't going to change anything and the last thing I was going to do was put his father down in front of him.
"I know it's crap timing but it really couldn't be helped. I will be here for you and Uncle Ben will be here soon too."
"I know Mum. I guess I'm just nervous."
"Yeah I can understand that but you know what? The best things in life are the scariest to do."
"I guess so."
"Yes it will be a little weird until you start making some friends but then you'll be so involved in everything that we will be complaining that we never see you anymore."
He laughed a little but didn't deny it. I ruffled his hair like I did when he was little then leaned down and gave him a hug.
"You are going to have a great time mate. Just go and grab life by the short and curlies and have a great time. Play sports, go to parties and get laid; just don't forget to study."
This time he let out a genuine belly laugh. He shook his head and looked at me in wonder.
"You still know how to surprise me mum. I never would have thought I would hear you say that."
"Life is for living Jerome. Don't make the mistake of going down the easiest path and getting stuck in a rut. Explore the world and yourself."
"You're sounding very philosophical today."
"Well that's what happens when your baby grows up and moves out. Now finish up your breakfast and go finish packing please. Uncle Ben will be here soon."
"Yes mum."
He got up from the table and as he walked out the kitchen door I felt a bizarre mixture of sadness, pride and excitement. Beth walked in moments later and she too wasn't looking happy but I didn't have to ask her what was wrong because she just let it fly.
"I can't believe you're making me go to school today."
"I know, I'm evil scum."
"Mum seriously, I'm not joking. It's not fair. I've got practically nothing on at school today and I could really benefit from going to look at the college because I'm going there too in case you've forgotten."
"First of all Beth, You have a full day of classes on today and training this afternoon. So don't feed me that bull crap. Secondly, by the time we get everything of Jerome's in the car there won't be any room for anyone else and finally, you get a college tour later this year where you will be shown everything you'll need to know. So stop nagging me about this."
She spent the rest of the morning huffing and procrastinating in the hopes that she might be able to talk Ben into taking her once he arrived but he still wasn't there when it came time for her to go. She said goodbye to Jerome on the way out the door but made a point of not talking to me as she left. I called out behind her as she walked down the driveway.
"I love you too sweety."
I couldn't help myself. I know I shouldn't be a smart ass but to be honest there was no way I was getting into it with her today.
I was just sitting down to have my coffee when I heard the car pull up in the driveway. It took every ounce of restraint I had not to run out to greet him, preferably naked. I remained as cool and composed as I could while Jerome went out to greet Ben. I sat at the table trying to look calm and composed as I heard them coming in through the door all the while my heart was pounding in my chest and my pussy was practically salivating.
Ben walked through the door and as soon as he laid eyes on me he had a fire in them that was impossible to ignore. He was clearly just as wound up as I was.
"Hey Sis. How are you doing?"
"Dripping cum and wanting your cock inside of me."
Well that was the reply that went through my head anyway.
"I'm good thanks and you?"
"A little anxious to get on the road to be honest."
The look he was giving me was of a primal animal that was relishing the thought of eating it's prey and by god I wanted him to eat me so bad. I had to pull my eyes away from his or I was going to mount him where he stood. I looked across at Jerome who was giving us a strange look as though he knew something was going on but he didn't understand what. Oh shit, I thought, get your shit together girl before you ruin everything.
