Jane was laying on her bed with absolutely nothing on her mind- she'd just got home from a bitch of a day at work and just wanted to empty her mind, relax and unwind. She was off in some sort of dreamland and was oblivious to anything that may have been happening around her. As she lay there on the bed, her mother, Tanya, walked past the room and noticed her daughter daydreaming on the bed. Out of curiosity, she decided to just stand in the doorway and watch her. Tanya took in this 20-year-olds innocent beauty and she reflected on how beautiful her daughter had always been. From the 'goo-goo' baby to a cheeky freckle-faced three year old right up to the present. After standing there for about a minute, Tanya noticed that Jane had absentmindedly started to run her hands all over her body.
She was still in some sort of dreamlike trance as she ran her hands over her hips and down her thighs. Jane was running her hands all over her body and had started to pant and writhe around on the bed. Tanya wanted to go and see if she was, in fact, asleep and having some sort of nightmare, but she was curiously glued to the spot and could not bring herself to break Jane's reverie. Then she realised that Jane must have been having some sort of an erotic dream as she started lifting her arse off the bed and thrusting her groin in the air. Tanya was somehow mesmerized by her daughter's actions and started walking into the room. She never made a sound as Jane released the snap at the waist of her jeans and her hand went down inside the front of her jeans. Now, that made her catch her breath as she suddenly realised that Jane was about to start fondling her 'girl bits' inside her panties.
The sound of her mother's gasp awoke Jane from her reverie and she sat bolt upright on her bed and glared at her mother before realizing where she was and who was standing at the foot of her bed.
"Shit, Mum. You frightened the hell out of me. I must have dozed off."
"Sorry, dear. I was just walking past your door when I heard you moan and wondered if something may be wrong. Had a bad day at work, today?"
Jane replied, "Yes, that bastard Massey was on my case all day and kept whining about how the young people today won't accept any responsibility for their actions. If it hadn't been for Tracy, I would have told him where to shove his job."
"Tell me all about it, dear", Tanya responded.
"You don't want to hear my problems, mum. Besides, Tracey went with me at lunchtime and after grabbing a sandwich at the canteen, we just strolled around the park. She is such a darling sometimes. As we were walking, I was made to feel so at ease that I just poured out all my hates and gripes about Mr. Massey. Next thing I knew, she had her arm around my shoulder and told me that I shouldn't let it get me down. And you know what? I felt that I could have trusted Tracey with my most inner, deepest, personal secrets and felt comfortable with her knowing it all."
Tanya was now curious about what was wrong at work. Was Jane being unfairly treated? Had she brought it upon herself? What was this Mr. Massey on about? Was it just work, or something, or someone else? Being the caring mother that she was, she decided to find out what was really wrong and could she help in any way.
"Jane, is it something or someone at work that is bringing on this grief? Is it Mr. Massey, someone else or even something else?" Tanya asked.
"You don't want to hear about my problems, mum," Jane responded.
"But, honey, that's just it. You shouldn't have any problems and if you do, you should be able to share them with me. What's the old adage? 'A problem shared is a problem halved' or something like that?"
"Yes, mum. But this is just a bit too personal to talk about with my mother. Don't worry about me, I'll sort it out, you'll see."
"Personal? If it's personal, then we should be able to share it. I've always hoped that as you got older we were more like sisters than mother and daughter. Look, I don't care how hard it is to talk about, or if it may be embarrassing, I just want you to be able to pour out your heart and soul anytime with me."
"But, it is so embarrassing, mum. I wouldn't know where to begin."
"And I'm your mum and closest friend. Now, out with it!"
"OK, here goes. Well, you see, it's like this. I... I can't talk about it. It's so embarrassing, mum."
"Rubbish. Mr. Massey has made some sort of lewd suggestion to you? Someone else in the office was caught going through your desk and found something that shouldn't have been there."
"No, it's nothing like that", replied Jane. "It started when I was out walking with Tracey."
"Go on..."
"Damn it. Here goes. While I was out walking with Tracey at lunchtime and having a good old bitch about Massey, the conversation eventually got away from being about him. You know how one thing leads to another then to another and so on until you are talking about something totally unrelated to the original conversation?"
"Only too well. Dad and I often do that and wonder after how we got onto a particular subject. Sorry, I won't interrupt."
"Well, the conversation got around to the inevitable young people's subject of S-E-X. Do you think I'm pretty, mum?"
"Of course, dear. And I'm not just saying that because I'm your mum. I think you are more than just pretty. Your long straight auburn hair catches the sun and seems to glow like a halo some days. That little line of freckles across your nose gives you a cheeky, impish look sometimes. And the way you screw up your nose when you are thinking happy thoughts always lightens a mother's heart. Sorry, interrupting again."
"No, that's OK. Keep going. What do you really think of my appearance? I know you are biased, but try to be honest and not say what you might think I want to hear."
"Right. You also have a lovely sensuous mouth with nice full lips. Moving down. Your slender neck is graceful and swan-like. You chest... Ah, now there's a sight for sore eyes. You have lovely breasts- not large monsters and not bee stings- just right."
"Stop it. You are embarrassing me"
"No, it's true. You wanted a totally unbiased opinion, so I am giving it with no holds barred. Moving down. Your nice flat stomach shows that you are quite fit and do all the right sort of exercises to keep it that way. You have lovely hips and your bum is just bee-yoo-tee-ful. Now that should get you blushing."
"Thanks for nothing. Here I was trying to have a serious conversation with you and you are now starting to make fun of me."
"That's not true, honey. You see, I have lightened up and changed the subject of whatever it was that was getting you down. Now, on with the tour. Those thighs... Mmmm, you do have nice legs, nicely muscle-toned and just the right shade without being overtanned. How am I doing?"
"Fine, mum, but back to the subject. You think I'm OK? Why don't I have a boyfriend, then?
"Why bother with them? There's lots of time and lots of guys to choose from. One day you'll think, 'Why are all these guys chasing me? Not so long ago there were none'. I guess it's just a case of 'feast or famine'."
"Well, that's just the problem. The conversation with Tracey, today, got around to boys. I told her what I just said to you and she said much the same as you. She gave a very positive appraisal of my appearance and I was a bit embarrassed. She had this strange look when she was saying all those nice things about my appearance. I can't explain it. The look she gave me made me feel creepy but at the same time, I felt sort of 'gooey' inside."
"What do you mean 'gooey inside'?"
"I don't know. I had this strange feeling in my tummy, and at the same time I felt a weird twitch between my legs".
"Aaahh, now it all starts to fall into place. She turned you on and you didn't know how to handle it."
"MUM!. It's not like that. I like Tracey. But I'd never think of her in that way."
"Can I be really candid with you and at the same time expect blatant honesty from you in return?"
"Shit, mum. That sounds ominous. What is it you want to talk about?"
"You said it before. S-E-X. Now can I be candid with you and expect blatant honesty in return?"
"Yes. I guess so. What do you want to know?"
"Are you a virgin?"
"Mum! Uh, oh. I guess that look means that you are serious."
"Yes. Remember that you are not a little girl any more. We should be able to discuss things as two mature women rather than a 'mother/ daughter chat'. I'll be candid with you. I lost my virginity to a dream of a guy at the ripe old age of 15. I found out later that just about every girl in my class at school had felt the same way about him only once- as he took their virginity. It seemed like this guy wanted to set the world record for conquests without any consideration for the consequences or the girls' feelings on the matter. Don't get me wrong, I don't think any of the girls were reluctant victims. Anyhow, you haven't answered my question. Are you?"
"Stupid question, mum. Do I really look like a frustrated old spinster? Only kidding. It was pure bliss at the time and it continued for about two weeks with him back when I was 16. He lives in another state now."
"Now we are getting somewhere. That didn't hurt, did it? Next question. Do you masturbate?"
"Shit, mum. You don't beat around the bush do you?"
"No, dear. But if that was meant to be a pun, I do. Let me clarify. When it comes to talking straight, I don't beat around the bush. But I do like to beat around the bush fairly regularly, if you get my drift. Wink, wink and all that."
