Phoenix,
Your dad had to go out of town again on business. So it will be just us this weekend. Sorry, I know you were looking forward to going camping. See you at 6.
Ena
I read and reread the note from my stepmom. I was pissed that my dad cancelled on me again. I didn't understand why he even promised anything anymore. I crumpled the paper and threw it in the trash. The only good thing was that I did like my new step mom. She was nice and always took care of me. How she ended up with my dad was still a mystery to me.
I looked at the clock and saw that it was only 3 in the afternoon. I decided I should do something nice for Ena so I started cleaning the house. I loaded the dishwasher, washed a load of laundry, and vacuumed the downstairs. By the time I finished putting clothes away it was already 5. I called and ordered diner from Ena's favorite sushi restaurant and put two sets of dishes on the table. I grabbed our wine bucket, loaded it with ice, and placed her favorite wine in it.
Two wine glasses and a lit candle were the finishing touches. I felt like I should have been having a date with one of my girlfriends, instead of my stepmom. I hoped she was going to like it. I went upstairs and changed into a nice pair of jeans and a blue button up shirt. I spiked my hair a little bit and brushed my teeth. I was spraying my cologne when I the doorbell rang.
I came back down and went to open the door. I took the bags and gave the guy a $20 tip. I placed all of the platters of sushi and side dishes on the table and placed a set of chopsticks on each plate. It was only five till 6 so I put some music on the sound system that ran throughout the whole house.
I waited by the front entrance and a few minutes later I heard the car pull into the driveway. I went to open the door for her and she seemed surprised to see me. She came in and took a look around the house then smiled.
"Oh, Phoenix! It looks amazing in here."
"Really? Good, I'm glad." I took her purse.
"Thank you sweetie. What is the occasion?"
"Well, I just knew we were both blown off by dad this weekend. So I thought I would surprise you."
"You're a good young man, and step son. Thank you."
"You're so welcome. The table is set. This way milady." I offered her my arm.
We walked to the dining room and she gasped when she saw everything I had put together. I took her jacket from her and placed it on another chair. I pulled her chair out for her and she sat down. I took the seat across from her and started opening the wine bottle. I poured us each a glass and Ena took a healthy sip.
"Oh you know this is my favorite wine. And ah sushi!" She was excited.
"Just trying to show you how much I appreciate what you've done for me over the past 3 years."
"Phoenix, you're so welcome honey. I know you just turned 18 but you know you'll always be welcome here with me." She sounded like she was going to cry.
"Thank you mom...can I call you mom?" My voice was raspy too.
"Yes, of course you can. Nothing would make me happier."
She reached across the table and took my hand in hers. I squeezed her hand and she smiled her gorgeous smile at me. I never realized how beautiful she was until just this moment. It might have had something to do with the lighting or the wine but I didn't care. I also knew that I really shouldn't be thinking those thoughts about my stepmom but we weren't blood. Her green eyes speckled with gold, flickered in the candle light. Her hair was a deep reddish brown that fell in waves down her back. And that smile could warm anyone's heart.
"You okay honey?"
"Oh, yes. Let me get your food for you."
"Thank you."
I didn't realize that I had been staring at her for longer than was probably acceptable. I put sushi, edamame, crab Rangoon, and spring rolls on both of our plates. We started eating and kept drinking more wine as the evening wore on. We laughed about everything and talked about how much of a jerk my father was sometimes. After about an hour and a half, she stood up and took off her blouse. She had on a silk pink tank top underneath and I had to struggle to keep my mouth from falling open. Her body was amazing and I could easily see her breasts outlined.
"Why don't we take the wine into the living room honey?"
"Sure mom. I'll grab a fresh bucket and bottle, you go ahead and take our glasses."
"Thanks sweetie."
She walked away and I'll admit that I watched her ass as her hips swayed side to side. They were curvy and her ass was round and perky. I went to refill the ice bucket and grabbed another bottle of wine. I took my button up shirt off and put it with her jacket on the chair. I had a t-shirt underneath it so I didn't' feel too weird. I went into the living room and she was sitting on the chaise part of the couch with her shoes off and her feet propped up. She had her eyes closed and she looked so peaceful that I thought she was asleep at first. I opened the new bottle of wine and filled our glasses back to the top.
"Mmm, I heard a bottle opening."
"Yes, I refilled your glass for you." I carried hers to her.
"Thank you darling. I have a feeling I'm a little tipsy at the moment." She laughed.
"Me too, but its okay."
I sat down on the end of the couch so I could look over at her without it being obvious. If I wasn't mistaken, her nipples were hard and pressing into the flimsy fabric of her tank top. I felt my erection growing in my pants and I didn't have time to feel guilty about it. I leaned back onto the couch and closed my eyes. I thought about how sexy she was and how I wanted to do really inappropriate things to her. I was daydreaming and didn't hear her get up and walk over to me. When I opened my eyes she was standing right in front of me.
