"Mom, you look...look..." said Maria, to her mother.
"What? Is something wrong?" said Veena, as she looked at herself in the car mirror.
"No. No. It's just you look great. Glowing." said Maria.
"Thank you dear. It's nice to hear a compliment occasionally." Veena said.
"Sameer, you haven't complimented Mom?" asked Maria, mischievously.
"Mom always looks good. Besides it would be weird for her son to be complimenting her on her looks." said Sameer.
Veena shared a conspiratorial look with her son, he had been doing a lot more than complimenting her on her looks the last few days.
"Maybe, but still." said Maria, enjoying the way Sameer squirmed uncomfortably.
Veena and Sameer had napped for half an hour before getting ready to pick up Maria. They had purposefully avoided any physical contact, afraid what it may lead to. They had picked up Maria from her dorm only fifteen minutes after the agreed time and were on their way to one of the more popular tourist spots in the city for dinner.
"Enough about this, tell me how has college been going?" asked Veena.
Prompted by her mother, Maria started telling her about her experience at college, the conversation ran all through the drive and most of the dinner, Veena kept interrupting and asking more questions. Overall, Maria's experience had been a positive one and she was doing well in the competitive environment. As Sameer listened to his sister, he couldn't help but sense that she was holding back. He figured it had something to do with their last talk and he would hear about it in detail later.
"So, what is the plan for tomorrow?" asked Maria.
"Well, I have a brunch with a few of my freelancers in the city, but I should be free by two o'clock." Veena said.
"I will drop Mom off at her brunch and come over to your college, do you have classes at that time?" asked Sameer.
"Yeah, but nothing I can't skip."
"Great, afterwards I want to visit the old city and fort." Veena said.
"That is so touristy." said Maria.
"Yeah, that was the purpose of this trip." said Veena, smiling at her daughter.
"I will pick you up and we can go from there." said Sameer.
"I know but still." Maria said, "So what about the wedding?"
"The wedding is the day after, but I am not sure why we are even attending without your father. But it would be rude to skip now." Veena said, "I have your clothes in the back so you can get ready at your dorm and we will pick you up and drop you back after."
"Do I have to go?" Maria asked.
"Yes, we all are going. Anyway, its just one event." said Veena.
"The day after the wedding we are free and then we leave for the mountains the next day." Sameer said.
"Ohhh. That is going to be so much fun." Maria said, "I wish I was going with you guys."
"You went last year with your friends." Sameer reminded her.
"Yeah, but you guys are heading to different locations." said Maria.
"Mountains are mountains. I prefer the sea." said Sameer, nonchalantly.
"Wait until you see the area my family hails from. You will be singing a different tune." said Veena.
The three of them continued to talk about the upcoming wedding and trip to the mountains. It was late when they dropped off Maria at her dorm with a small bag holding her wedding clothes.
"So, I will see you around eleven thirty tomorrow morning." said Sameer.
"Yeah, see you then." said Maria, as Sameer and her mother drove away, Maria looked at the departing car with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

Sameer and Veena reached their room around midnight. When Veena came out of the washroom in her night clothes she found her son already on the bed, naked.
Sameer looked at his mother as she grabbed her top and pulled it off, next she stepped out of her panties. Naked she walked over to the foot of the bed. Crawling on all fours she approached her son's naked body.
Fuck, but she is sexy, thought Sameer. It was clear that his mother was a natural when it came to all things sexual, she just never had a chance to experience it. He intended to fix that. Even the way she crawled towards him was a production in arousal.
