I was deep in thought and hadn't been following the conversation, so when Mum called my name as though she had already asked me a question, it was like surfacing from a deep dive underwater.
"Hmm? I'm sorry, I was completely lost in thought then."
"I can see that. I asked if you want to come out for a drive with us."
"Yeah, sure. Where to, though, the traffic is horrendous out there?"
Susie smiled as though she knew something I didn't.
"Don't worry about the traffic; where we're going we won't have to deal with that much."
We left a note for Granny and Chilton explaining what we were doing, not that we expected Granny to come out again. She often went to sleep after her massage therapy, and more often than not, she stayed in bed for the rest of the night.
We walked outside and climbed into the little Suzuki four-wheel drive. The ladies up front and I crammed into the tiny space in the back seat. There was next to no legroom, so I had to sit sideways, and I had the suitcase to contend with as well.
We took off down the road, and although it was kind of fun to have the breeze from the open-top car, it also made it impossible to be involved in any of the conversations. I couldn't hear a thing that was being said up front, and every time we went around a corner, I had to contend with the corners of the suitcase digging into me. I'm sure it was fun as a driver or even in the front passenger seat, but in the back it sucked.
Susie took a lot of twists and turns, and it was obvious she still knew the streets of the town well. Five minutes later we arrived at a football oval. She slowed right down and cruised along the street until she came to a red brick building, in front of which was a car park, which she pulled into, and we all got out of the car. I followed them as they walked a short distance to the far corner of the building.
They stopped at the corner and both looked at the same place. They were silent for a few moments as the same thoughts and memories played through their minds. Susie turned to Mum with a smile.
"This is where it all began."
"I remember it like it was yesterday."
I realised then that this was the very corner that Mum had hidden behind as she watched Susie sucking those cocks when they were younger. It also came to mind that this was the very spot where she stood masturbating as she watched. I imagined her standing here doing that, and my cock began to swell in response to the memory.
"Have you been back here since those days?"
Mum looked at Susie as though it was a strange question for a moment, but seeing
she was being serious, she shook her head no.
"No. I haven't seen the point, to be honest. You weren't here, and that was what brought me here every time."
Susie smiled a slightly sad smile as though saddened by the loss of such a great time in her life.
"I have great memories of this place. This, to me, was where I discovered who I truly was. It was the birthplace of many great adventures."
Susie looked at me slightly nervously, then back at Mum, who was smiling at some memory of that time.
"Ah, I have to ask, Beth. Exactly how much does Jeff know of our history here?"
Mum actually blushed as she looked at Susie.
"I hope you aren't going to be angry at me, but once I got started talking about my youth and all the things that I missed from it, well... I just kind of blurted it all out."
Susie nodded but didn't say anything. She didn't look upset, but she wasn't smiling either. It was hard to tell how she felt about it, and I got the impression that she didn't know how to feel about it either. She looked at me very directly, and I felt obliged to hold her gaze, as though she was testing me. Testing the strength of my convictions and perhaps trying to see how I felt about the whole situation.
"So, Jeff. It seems you know a whole lot more about me than I do about you. Considering I only kind of knew of your existence before this week, I guess that wouldn't be too hard. I hope you don't judge me too harshly based on what you know."
I smiled and shook my head.
"You want to know what I know? What do I believe about you?"
She smiled but seemed a little surprised by my response. She seemed to think about it for a moment before nodding.
"Yeah. I do actually. Your mother seems to hold your opinion very highly, and she trusts you. So, yeah, I would like your honest opinion."
"Okay. I think you are damn lucky in some ways."
She raised her eyebrows in surprise but didn't say anything, allowing me to continue.
"You discovered early on who you truly are and what you love. You had the bravery to pursue and enjoy at least one aspect of your life to the fullest. You got to do it in an environment where everything wasn't recorded on mobile phones and CCTV. You were lucky enough to find like-minded people who didn't abuse you in a potentially vulnerable position, but most of all, I think you were both incredibly lucky to find each other in exactly the way that you needed to at that time in your lives."
"Oh. Well..."
Susie seemed lost for words for a few moments, and Mum gave me that big smile that did things to me. Things that I absolutely would have acted upon under different circumstances.
"I, ahh, I, well. I wasn't expecting that. You do know the details of what went on here, don't you?"
