For years now, there has been a rift growing between John's parents. Most of the problems came from his father, who wasn't the most considerate or romantic person. He remembered how his mother used to talk about how romantic he was when they were younger. But over the years, when he became more focused on his career, he began neglecting his mother.
He was always coming home late, always forgetting their anniversaries and other special events, and always promising to do things with his mother, then finding a reason to bail on them at the last minute for some work-related reason. She had confronted him many times about it. He then makes an effort to be more mindful of their marriage, but eventually falls back into his neglectful ways.
Whenever his father behaved that way, it was usually John who ended up having to take care of his mother. He was the one who ended up taking her out to dinner, watching movies with her, getting her gifts for her birthday or Valentine's Day, and a number of other things.
John and his mother have always been close, but he still felt that those were things his father should be doing for his wife. John was now 21 years old and felt he should be out there having fun with women his own age, not spending his free time taking care of his mother.
One night, when his father came home particularly late and his mother was fast asleep in her bedroom, John waited for his father to come home to have a long-awaited talk with him. His father came around 1-am, trying to be as quiet as he could. John turned on the lights and gave him a big scare.
"Dammit, John, you scared me," said his father.
"We have to talk," said John.
"Not now. I'm tired and I want to go to sleep."
"No, we need to talk now," he demanded.
He followed John to the kitchen, where they sat down to have their talk. John explained to his father how he had been neglecting his wife and how it was hurting his marriage.
"I don't know what to tell you, son," he said. "But what can I say? I've just been too busy."
"Well, you have to make the time; your wife needs you."
"What should I do?"
He couldn't believe that his father couldn't figure any of this stuff out on his own; it was his wife, he should just know what to do.
"Your anniversary is in a couple of weeks; it would be nice if you would take her out to dinner and buy her some flowers. Maybe even get her a nice gift as well to show her how much you appreciate her."
"What kind of gift?" he asked.
"That's up to you, not me."
"Please, son," his father begged. "I need some help with this."
After thinking about it for a moment, John decided that he should pitch in before his father messed things up.
He remembered something that one of his friends told him about what his own father did as a romantic gift for his mother. John thought it could also be something that he thought might motivate his father to be more romantic with his mother.
"How about this? Besides a romantic dinner, flowers, and maybe a piece of jewelry, you give her love coupons."
"What is that?" his father asked.
"It's coupons you create with a variety of romantic gestures you can do for her. You can find them online or you can create one yourself."
"That sounds great," said his father. "Thanks John, you're a wonderful son."
John left the kitchen to go to bed, leaving his father to think about what he needed to do to show he loved his wife.
For the next couple of weeks, John was afraid his father might forget about their conversation and find another way to ignore his anniversary.
On the morning of their anniversary, John was awakened by his mother's laughter. He walked out of his bedroom and looked into his parents' bedroom to see that his father had brought her breakfast in bed.
"Look what your father did, Johnny," she said with glee. "He made me love coupons. I already redeemed one for breakfast in bed."
His mother was sitting up in her bed, wearing a white nightgown, with a blanket covering the lower half of her body and a silver breakfast tray on her lap. His father was sitting at the edge of the bed, cutting up her pancakes and feeding her. John left smiling, feeling proud of his father for making the effort.
It didn't end there. That night, he brought her flowers and candy and took her out to dinner at a romantic restaurant, where he gave her an expensive necklace. They came home late at around 2 a.m. John was awakened by hearing them laughing all the way up to their bedroom. He kind of knew what they were going to be doing next and went back to sleep, trying not to think about it.
At around 7 a.m., he was woken up by his father, who was dressed in his golf clothes.
"Listen, I have to meet a client on the range and I need you to do something for me," he said.
"What?" John asked with a groggy voice.
"I need you to make your mother some breakfast and take it to our bed."
"You can't be serious."
"And when you do, please give her this," he said, handing him a piece of paper. "Tell her it's been redeemed."
The piece of paper was a coupon for one breakfast in bed that apparently his mother wanted to redeem.
"You're supposed to do these things," said John.
"Hey, I redeemed plenty of them since yesterday," said his father. "Especially two for last night, if you catch my drift."
John remained silent, astounded that his father had just made a joke about having sex with his mother.
Before John could say anything, his father quickly walked out of the room, and a moment later, he heard him leave the house. John got out of bed, got dressed and washed up, then went downstairs to make his mother some breakfast.
He made her blueberry pancakes, his mother's favorite, with some eggs and coffee. He put it all on a tray and carefully took it upstairs into his parents' bedroom. His mother was underneath her blanket, sound asleep. He woke her up by gently calling out her name; her eyes slowly opened, and she looked surprised to see her son standing there with a breakfast tray.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Dad had to leave. He asked me to bring this up to you."
"Oh, you've got to be kidding me," she said angrily. "Did he at least make that breakfast?"
"Yes," he told her. He knew he shouldn't have lied to his father, but he wanted her to be at least somewhat happy about the breakfast.
"At least he did that," she said. "I knew I shouldn't have tried to redeem another breakfast one so soon."
She moved herself up in her bed; the blanket fell off her body, and John stood there in shock as he saw his mothers' bare breasts. His mother saw the shock on her son's face, realized she was naked, and quickly covered herself up.
"Oh, honey, I am so sorry," she said. "I completely forgot."
"It's OK, mom, it was an accident."
"Oh, I feel so embarrassed."
"It's OK, mom, I'll leave the room so you can get dressed and I'll bring this back in."
John left the room and set the tray down on the floor so he could close the bedroom door. He waited for his mother to let him know she was ready so he could come back in with the breakfast tray. During that time, all he could think about was what he had just seen. He was ashamed to admit it, but he thought she looked gorgeous naked.
He always thought his mother was a beautiful woman. She's the envy of all the other mothers in the neighborhood. At age 43, she still had a great body from consistently going to the gym; she had luxurious chestnut hair and a very young face that made a lot of people think she was John's older sister.
Now he had seen her naked. He was sure her breasts were D-cups, and they were still full and firm for someone her age. He liked them and was getting an erection thinking about them.
His mother called out to him, saying it was OK for him to come back inside. He told her he'd be there in a minute, giving him some time to concentrate on other things to get rid of the hard-on he was sporting so she wouldn't notice. When it was gone, he opened the door and walked into her bedroom with her breakfast. His mother was wearing a nightgown and sitting up on her bed with a big smile on her face.
"Again, I am so sorry about what has just happened," she said.
"I told you it's OK, it was kind of funny."
They both had a good laugh, then John put the tray in front of her and fed her like how his father had done for her yesterday morning. They talked and laughed a little, and when she was done eating, he took the tray downstairs and did the dishes while she took a shower and got herself dressed and ready for the day.
A few hours later, she left the house to meet up with some friends of hers for lunch, and when the coast was clear, John did something I never thought I would ever do. He opened up his laptop on his desk, searched through his mother's social media until he found a good picture of her, he could use, and began jerking off to her image.
He thought about how it would be to kiss her lips, what her breasts might feel like in his hands, and what it would be like to make love to her. A half hour later, he shot a large load of cum into a tissue. He pulled up his pants and threw the tissue into the toilet to flush away the evidence.
He felt guilty about what he had done. He never thought of his mother in a sexual way, but seeing her naked for the first time had done something to him.
He decided to watch some porn on his computer and jerked off to images of sexy women closer to his own age in an effort to forget about what he had done. It worked for a little while, but soon felt guilty again.
He decided to just watch some TV and forget to distract himself. He was sure that, in time, he would forget about everything and move on.
