A new story... Or a new take on a very old one. Oedipus might find it interesting, and I hope you do, too.

I looked at the display on my phone. It said one word.
Mom.
"Hey! I was just going to call you!" I laughed, answering it. Most of the time, that might be just a way to deflect guilt, but in this case, it was true.
"Well, let me hang up then! I don't want to miss your call!" she giggled, then went quiet. For a second, I thought she might have actually hung up, until I heard her snort, and laugh again. "Damn! I almost had you!"
"You did!" I nodded. "Hi Mom."
"Hello, darling," she replied. "So? Why were you calling?"
"You called me," I corrected her.
"True, but you said you were going to, so go ahead," she said softly. I knew from experience not to try and out-flank her.
"Okay," I smiled, knowing I'd never find out just why she called. "I was just wondering if you'd like some company for a few weeks this summer?"
"Hmmmm, well, let's see... I'll have to check my schedule," she bluffed. I could almost hear her smile. "Of course! I'd love to see you! It's been far too long since I saw my baby boy! When are you coming?"
"How does three weeks sound?" I asked. "I'm almost finished the project I'm on, and I could use a break when I'm done. I really need to just get away."
"Well, I have the perfect place for you to get away to," she bubbled. "Come home, here, and let Momma take care of you. I'm going to spoil my baby!"
"Now, Mom... don't fuss. I'm all grown up now. You don't need to go overboard," I suggested, knowing full well it would fall on deaf ears.
"Nonsense!" she giggled, brushing my words aside. "I have to clean your room! I've been meaning to have a little more work done. Paint, hedges, that sort of thing. No time like the present."
"Mom?" I interrupted her. "Please. Don't do all that on my account. I'm coming home to see you, not my room."
"Whatever you say, darling," she answered.
I knew there was nothing that would stop her from doing whatever she wanted to do. Especially from thousands of miles away. I gave her my flight information... yes, I was already booked. I knew she'd say yes. What mother wouldn't?
"Oooooooooo, I'm so excited!" she gasped. "I just can't wait to see you! I'll be at the airport to meet you! My baby's coming home!"
What can I say? She's my Mom, and she loves me. I love her, too. I only hoped she didn't overdo it.

My flight was delayed a few minutes, but other than that, was quite enjoyable. There was a slightly older couple sitting next to me, and they were happy to talk, but didn't impose on me. The wife was in the seat right beside me, and told me all about their kids, and the vacation they'd been on. I was more than willing to listen. It gave me an excuse to look at her.
I'd guess she was in her forties. Maybe older, if her husband was any indication. Anyway, she was one very attractive woman; blonde hair, piercing blue eyes, a pleasant personality, and a really nice pair, on display in the open neckline of her blouse. She laughed a lot, and her laughter set those boobs jiggling.
The only real indication of age was found on her face, where a few lines and tiny wrinkles contradicted her youthful personality and sexiness. Since her husband was content to sleep through most of the flight, Daphne, as we'd been introduced, turned to me to pass the time.
I have to admit, I began having very intimate thoughts about her, as we laughed and chatted. She had a flirtatious nature, and a habit of touching my arm while talking to me. I'm sure she saw the frequent glances that I cast down her blouse, admiring the creamy smooth curves of her full breasts. My fantasies wandered away with her to the restroom, where we'd satisfy each other's immediate physical needs in the cramped confines.
I was ears deep in her presumably very wet pussy when her words brought me back to reality. She was smiling at me, awaiting an answer to a question I hadn't heard. I could hardly tell her the reason; somehow, I didn't think she'd understand that I had mentally undressed her, and we were fucking each other madly in my mind.
"I'm sorry, I missed that," I smiled, gesturing to the constant drone of jet noise in the cabin.
"I said 'what is taking you east?'. I gather you live back where we started?" she repeated.
"Oh. Yes, I live out west," I nodded, still lost in her cleavage. "My Mom. That's what takes me east."
"Nothing serious, I hope," Daphne asked, her concern genuine, as she touched me again.
"Oh, no. Nothing like that," I shook my head, dismissing the thought. "Just visiting. I've got time, and I haven't seen her much lately. We talk all the time, but face to face, in person time, has been pretty short. It's been years, actually. I feel a bit guilty about that. I didn't mean to ignore her. Time just got away from me."
"I'm sure she knows that," she smiled. "We mothers have a sense. It is nice to hear from our kids, though. Makes us feel appreciated."
Oh great. Now I really felt guilty.
Not for my Mom; that guilt was being dealt with by this trip. This was different. By reminding me that she was someone's mother, too, she made me regret the lust I'd been feeling since we started talking. At least I wouldn't need to hide my bulging crotch with the pillow, anymore.
My Mom is a blonde, too. Not the platinum variety, but simply a dishwater blonde, kind of an average colour. 'Average' might get used to describe my Mother in many ways, but none of them should be seen as disparaging her. It was just a case of average, as opposed to exceptional.
She was slightly taller than average, but not tall. Dad was slightly shorter than average, so Mom almost never wore heels, at his insistence. She was maybe a little prettier than the average Mom, and a little bigger up top, but not overly so. She was always complaining about her weight, a bit more than average, but she wasn't fat. She was just average, but she was my Mom, and I loved her.
Dad? Well, he was pretty average, too, except he was a little below it. As I mentioned, he was short-ish. He also failed to measure up as a father, and as a husband. He cheated on Mom, more than once, and she still stood by him. Why? I may never know. He died in an accident, which might be seen as karmic retribution, since he was a bad driver as well.
At least he was insured, and Mom was financially stable, if not comfortable.
I heard the engines throttle back slightly, as we started our descent. Daphne elbowed her snoring husband, bringing him to life, and everyone prepared for landing, closing tray tables and fastening seatbelts. Daphne continued to read her book, spotlighted from above by the overhead light.
I swear, she must have known that the book wasn't the only thing being illuminated so perfectly by the small, intense reading light over her head. Add a little turbulence, and her jiggling boobs made that cleavage impossible to ignore. I didn't even try. I'd probably never see her again, anyway. Some moderate ogling seemed the least I could do.
A relatively smooth touchdown followed, and after taxiing to the terminal, everyone did what they always do at the end of the flight... stand up and wait impatiently while the jet way is maneuvered into place. I shook my head, and remained seated, casually watching as Daphne and her husband retrieved their belongings from the overhead bins.
Mmmmmm, those boobs, made more prominent by her reaching up high.
