Homecoming
The following week went slowly. I missed Tommy; and His tongue; and His cock; and His hands; and His voice; and His sense of humour; and His smell; and His voice; and
His .... ;
and ... ;
and ...
etc.
* * * * *
We looked forward that week to Ciaran coming home after his school exchange visit. We had been sort of lucky -- at the expense of the pupil who was supposed to stay with us. He had suffered a broken bone or compound strain or something while playing in a school rugger match, and was confined to a hospital bed in traction.
The luck was, as far as I was concerned, that there wasn't a stranger in our house as I played with Tommy and Dad. That would have been, like ...
SO
embarrassing. Or really boring, because we couldn't do the good stuff.
Ciaran had had no sympathy for the other pupil: - "Arsehole!" had been his verdict, "Bloody blood sports! Life's too dangerous, without throwing yourself in the way of danger like that!"
* * * * *
I wrapped my arms around Ciaran even while he was carrying his luggage as he followed Dad, into the house, after Dad had collected him from the school.
"Welcome home. How's things?" I asked as I hugged him and snuggled my head against his chest -- and my boobies against his belly. He stiffened up.
"Now Kari," said Mum "let him get settled-in."
"OK." I said, and reached up, and pulled his head down, still with my other arm around his waist, and kissed him, almost like a lover. Then I went and sat in my chair in the living-room and waited.
* * * * *
Even though I didn't try to listen to them, I heard their murmured discussion in the kitchen.
Ciaran "What was that all about. She kissed me! On the lips?"
Mum "Ah, well. Um ... she's ... a little ... distracted[?] at the moment. Um ... she's missing Tommy."
Ciaran "Tommy? ... Tommy? ... ... Tommy who?"
Mum "Your Dad's brother Tommy."
Ciaran "What? Why would Karen be missing UncleTommy?"
Mum "June and Jack came for dinner last weekend, and brought your Gran and Tommy. That's when they fell in love."
Ciaran "Eh? Say again? Gran and Tommy fell in love? With each other?" His voice rose to a squeak through
that
question.
Dad "No, knucklehead!
Kari
and Tommy fell in love."
Ciaran "Oh wow. Love? Really? How?"
Mum "Well... Karen said that she realised she was in love with Tommy, so she made a pass at him. And he seems to return the feelings. Which is good -- for her -- at the moment, anyway."
Dad "But she's feeling a bit lost at the moment, so be careful around her. She seems to want to love everyone now."
Ciaran "Everyone?"
Mum "Yes,
eVry-
one!"
Ciaran "So she falls for Tom, and then gets all ... what ... lovey-dovey?"
Dad "Yes. And if you ask her how she is, she says that she feels great. But it's a bit like living with a zombie, but one who goes around wanting to love everyone, instead of taking vicious bites out of them."
Ciaran "Oh yeah? Bet it won't be long before she finds some reason to knee me in the privates, then lecture me for an hour about how she's a delicate flower, and that it's not right that I go about damaging her poor knee with my gross chauvinistic balls."
Dad let rip with a bellow of laughter which was closely followed by a slap -- like the ones Mum does to your shoulder, just to let you know you need to pay attention.
But ... I wasn't like that! Was I?
Mum "Stop that! Behave yourself! And
you
... just take it easy on her, OK? You've not been here to witness the changes in her. But they are there.
"For example, you know how she's normally into everything, and chattering away like a starling all the time? Well, she spends most of her time just sitting ... quietly ... thinking about your Uncle Tom."
Ciaran "OK. Well -- my welcome home was a nice change, at least. I enjoyed the kiss." Then his voice went sort of quiet and dreamy, "Wonder if I can get her to do it again sometime?"
* * * * *
Then things broke up. Ciaran took his bags upstairs, with, of course, his washing; so Mum went up and brought it back down and started sorting it. Ciaran then spent time unpacking and settling-in. And then it was dinner.
As we ate, Ciaran spoke about the school he had 'exchanged' to, and the differences and similarities about the subjects and teachers, and about how the boys were a similar range of boneheads and geeks, and that he preferred the uniform that the girls in our school wear.
He said that he was sort of glad he had done it, but he felt he didn't get enough out of it to want to do it again. But he especially regretted missing the me-Tommy tie-up (It seemed to me though, that he wasn't told about our noisy late-night nookie sessions, or the proposal that Tommy help out Mummy, or my showers with Dad).
Ciaran's Eye Opener
During the evening of telly, I sat quietly, and thought about Tom. Ciaran appeared more distracted by my silence than he 'used to be' about the way I ... 'used to be'[?].
Eventually, I was urged to go to bed when Mum and Dad went up. I had nothing better to do really, so I went.
I waited until Ciaran had been in his bedroom for about a quarter of an hour, then I went to see him.
After tapping on his bedroom door, I cracked it open, and peered around it, and he looked up from the book he was reading.
"OK if I come in Cier? I want to talk to you about Tommy. Is that OK?"
He put in a bookmark, and closed the book. "Yeah, OK. I'd like to hear your side of things."
"Ooh, thanks Cier."
And I skipped in, all happy and eager; and, sliding under the covers, I wrapped an arm and a leg over him and nestled against him, and kissed his chest a few times.
"
Karen
! You're naked. Where's your jammies?"
"Oh, I don't bother since I've been sleeping with Tommy."
