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?"
She just couldn't believe that someone other than her and Mum would be understanding.
"Do you want me to spell it out as best as I understand it?"
She laughed nervously, and we both looked at Mum for her approval. She nodded
serenely.
"Jeff has only been told the truth as best as I remember it, and I have no issue at all with him repeating what I said. I trust and love you both."
That last sentence seemed to catch us both by surprise, and I could tell that we were each having similar thoughts. "Just how deep does that love go, and is it the same kind of love for both of us?" Susie was blushing a little as she turned back to me and smiled. I could see her put on a brave face as she cocked one eyebrow as though challenging me to try and shock her. I would bet a million dollars that she has had that same response to many other people when she felt a little nervous or embarrassed about something.
"Alright then, Jeff. Tell me what you know."
I thought briefly about toning it down a little to try and help them both save face, but as soon as I had the thought, I dismissed it, knowing that they would feel cheated or that, somehow, I had shown weakness.
"Well, my understanding is that you discovered that you love to suck cock. You had a group of very willing participants who wanted nothing more than to help you explore your newfound desire, and this is the place where you used to come and explore that. Mum was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time and overheard a snippet of conversation. One that greatly intrigued her and, I believe, turned her on quite a bit. A conversation that she didn't instantly dismiss as bullshit boy talk. Excited by what she had heard, she simply had to see for herself. And when she did see for herself, she was so turned on by it that she publicly masturbated and made herself cum, right here where we stand, I think, as she watched you."
I could see them both squirming a little at my retelling of their origin story. They were both a little red in the cheeks, and I knew very well the look on Mum's face that essentially told me she would be extremely wet right now. I couldn't help but wonder if Susie was too.
"Well, she certainly didn't hold back, did she? I am impressed you have raised someone as open-minded as you are, Beth."
Susie was watching Mum, and I was watching Susie. I could see the cogs turning. She had a look of intense curiosity on her face. She opened her mouth to say something then stopped at least two or three times before shaking her head as if to say no. She seemed to settle on one of the thousands of questions circulating in her mind.
"How much did you tell Jeff about after that first time?"
I couldn't tell if she was mad that Mum had said anything about it or not. I'm not sure if she knew how to feel about it. Did she feel a secret had been betrayed? Was she angry? Hurt? Curious? Excited?
Mum seemed to feel as uncertain as I did, and I could see her blushing, and she even stuttered a little. She hadn't considered that Susie might not take it in the same way she once would have, that she may be offended by her revealing what was their private business.
"I... Um, I, well, you know, once you get talking about these things, they tend to just pour out."
Susie was nodding along as though she understood, but she still wasn't smiling. Mum continued into the awkward silence.
"I have never told another soul about what happened between us. It was eating me alive that I never had anyone I could trust to understand and talk to about what was the best time of my life. I was married to a man who hated the best parts of me, forcing me to hide the best of me from everyone. When I found that I could talk to Jeff not only could I trust him not to use it against me, but he was genuinely interested. Someone who wasn't going to judge me and wanted to know about me."
There was a pleading tone to what she was saying, and it was obvious she didn't want to hurt her friend again, but she also needed her to understand. Susie was looking at her with a soft smile now.
