Forrest awoke to another hot Summer Saturday morning. It was 90 degrees again and he knew it would be broiling in the after noon. He was already bored this summer break and seeing that he had nothing to do, today made him just want to lay in bead and sweat. He would have gone to the mall, or movies but he knew it would packed with old high school chums that he had no desire to see.
He laid back in his bed sheets, clad only in his boxers. He looked down and noticed his manhood fell out his open hole. "Oh well," he thought, "might as well jerk off." He started to go at his unwilling member and eventually found a rhythm. He thought of his girlfriends at school and all the fun they had and eventually his penis started to react. He was settling into his own pseudo-sexual fantasy world, when his door popped open.
"C'mon, Forrest it's eleven AM. Rise and shine, you can't sleep all day." He didn't lock the door and Mom came in with her usual laundry load. She immediately looked down at the floor and continued with her typical babble. "Why don't you call a friend Forrest or go to your fathers house..."
This was a typical happening. He would forget to lock the door and she would barge in when he was doing his business. She must have caught him a hand full of times. Especially now, that he had been home from college and was bored. He was also under the impression, that she never noticed and he figured she probably thought he was 'itching' himself. Besides his mother was an old hippie so, in theory, she allowed him to have his space.
He quickly had rolled over and laid on his side. Forrest's Mom then sat on the edge of his bed and looked at him over his shoulder. "I know you don't have to work today so shouldn't you call a friend." Forrest responded as if he was still asleep. "Wha, oh yeah sure." Forrest's Mom, would have done anything to spend a day with him but he was older and she feared he was growing away from her. She wanted him to be independent but she missed him. Still she knew he would waste his Saturday anyway with his typical old, sitting around in his room, listening to music, smoking grass and occasional masturbation.
"Tell you what Forrest, why don't you come with Anya and I today." This didn't excite him at all. The idea, of hanging around with his hippie mother and her hippie friend just made him more tired. He wanted to stay home and count the days until he went back to college but she would have none of it. She got up and said "Cool, now wake up lazy bones you're hangin with yer ol' lady today." She walked out and down the hall, without shutting the door. Forrest got up, bonner bobbing out again and went to close the door. His Mom turned around and, while just looking at the floor, said; "Please Forrest, get going."
He had his prick covered but he got the feeling that she knew what he up to. Which she did. He agreed and started towards the bathroom. He looked at her briefly as he walked. She still had her long raven colored hair that went half down her back and she still wore her old bell bottoms and 70's cowboy shirts, complete with brown cowboy boots. Boy, she was stuck in an era; he thought. Even though her body sagging at 48, she still looked like the hippie she was in the pictures he had of her, his father and him when he was born. Her hair still hung in her dark Native American face like it did then. Her eyes were bold and passionate. She looked tough but when she talked you could see her kindness. His dad too still wore a pony tail but Forrest thought the were both dorkish with their "open mindedness" and "strong political beliefs." That stuff made him snicker. He just wished they still did drugs so he could get some from them and be stoned during his break.
He walked into the bathroom and looked at himself. He had a shaved head and long goatee. His American Indian face was bold but his father's Irish jeans gave him sympathetic eyes. His tattoos of vines covered his wrists as well as Japanese symbols on his shoulders. They meant "Strength" and "Love" but he would tell the girls they meant "Nihilism" or some other trendy meaning. Whatever he thought would get them hot, he would say. He got those meanings from his Mom, who would always say; "Forrest, Strength will take you were ever you want to go but Love will teach you to appreciate wear you are." He loved his Mom and although he acted disinterested in her lessons on life he appreciated everything she sacrificed for him. His dad was cool too. Although they divorced, he still lived by and gave his Mom anything she wanted. He sometimes wished he had a sob story, but they all didn't.
He walked down stairs in Cutoff Shorts, T-Shirt and his Black boots. He sat down in the kitchen and poured himself some of her herbal tea, which he had to drink since she didn't allow coffee. He really didn't want to go with her and besides he didn't know where they were going. "Mom, I don't know, were are we going any way?" His Mom, walked into the kitchen. "I don't know!" She responded with her inquisitive but open tone. "Anya, said it was a surprise. Sounds fascinating though." Oh Christ, he thought they were headed for some strange East Indies spiritual lecture or something.
Anya, always pulled this type of thing. He really didn't want to go he rather bike or call his college friends and convince them meet him halfway so they could go out and drink. But he did that last weekend and his Mom was never happy with him driving her old VW bug half way across the state just to get drunk. When you live in the middle of New York State you have to drive pretty far to have a good time. "Mom, can't I stay home? Please." He asked. She put her head down and frowned. "Forrest, you only have a few weeks left and then your back at school in New York City. Can't you spend one day with me? I've let you have your days off to yourself because you work, all summer." "Yeah, but Mom, you and Anya get so annoying..."
"Oh, what the hell are you going to do any way?" She abruptly barked. "Whack off all day?!" He sat silent and so did she. She would rarely yell but when she did, the truth always cut through the BS. They sat silent for a Moment and suddenly Forrest said; "Well your last Guru said that was liberating?" Forrest's Mom looked at him and then they both laughed. The tension had broken and with that Anya's beat up van rolled down the rock filled drive way. "Forrest's Mom looked at him with a pleading expression. "Please, Forrest." Forrest couldn't resist, he could do pretty much any thing he wanted around there but breaking his mother's heart always got to him. He let out a long sigh and said "Okay, Mom." She jumped up, ran over and gave him a hug. Her long hair got in his face and mouth but he resisted making spitting sounds.
