Jan and I were having coffee like we did every week or so. And by coffee, I mean a glass or two of wine at one of our houses. We had become friends when our two sons played on the same soccer team and had grown up together. I was a older than she was, she had had Jason when she was just 20, I had Matthew when I was 28. Now both boys were 18, about to graduate from high school, head off to college and who knows what else.
It caught me a bit off guard after our second cup of 'coffee" when Jan said "So, Marie, do you think either of our boys is gay? I mean, they really haven't shown a lot of activity either way. I wouldn't be surprised. Wouldn't be surprised if one or both of them weren't virgins."
After a moment of stunned silence I thought about a response. "No, I don't think they are gay, although I could see it in today's world. I have found some Playboys in Mattie's room, but he could be a virgin, I know we have certainly taught him to respect women. But I would like grandchildren before I'm too old to enjoy them!"
Jan stuck out her bottom lip and shook her head a little to consider the comment and continued "Well, now that they are both legal, I have had some ideas. I hope I don't shock or offend you with this, but..." Her voice trailed off as she looked at me.
I did what any good friend would do "I doubt you could offend me, but why don't we have another bit of this 'coffee' and you tell me what your idea might be."
Jason and Matthew were both good looking kids. Not exactly studs, but handsome. They weren't awkward but they weren't sporting six pack abs, either. Just good average almost men. I was being honest when I had replied to Jan, I didn't think either was gay, but I guess they were possibly virgins or not very experienced at most.
I took a sip and Jan took a gulp and started. "What would you say to us 'initiating' our sons to manhood? I'm not talking about telling them about the birds and the bees, I am suggesting giving them the whole honeypot. You and Jason and I will take Matthew." I wasn't offended, but I was a little shocked. I did not see that coming. Jan continued. "I have seen how Jason looks at you. I think it is a bit more than just his friends' mom. You do still have a good ass, hon. And I have caught Matthew giving me a glance when I wear that low cut top." All true. I had seen Matthew watch Jan, but I wasn't aware of Jason looking at me. As I considered it, it did call for a bit more wine. Screw the pretense of coffee. This called for wine.
We talked a bit more about it, the boring details such as "Where should we do it?" "What will you wear?" "How should we ask them? After about an hour we not only had a good buzz from the wine, but we also had a plan It would start with our suggesting the idea to our sons and proceeding from there, depending upon the reaction. Hoo boy. I took a deep breath. It had to be handled delicately, I didn't like the idea of Jan and I be considered the "perv Moms", but it was exciting. I guess that was a big part of what motivated Jan and me. Our husbands were both fine, but romance had been replaced by routine. When the night was right, when the kids were in bed and chores done. Typical for almost twenty years of marriage. We had done a few risque things, like a double date with Jan and John. That was when I realized Jan was a little wilder than I was, she had no problem skinny dipping in front of the three of us which did lead to an exciting evening for the four of us. But back to our matter at hand. The ask.
Two days later, after dinner, my husband Tom went off to meet a couple of the neighbor men for some drinks and probably to watch the game. I was pretty sure John would be there as well. "Matt, can we talk a bit? In the kitchen?" I hoped he didn't think he was in trouble, but I could almost sense the roll of the eyes and the exasperated look.
"Sure mom. In a minute." He strode in a few minutes later, "S'up?" and sat down.
"Well, you know Mrs.Davis? We were talking a bit, and have a thought. Something for you and Jason. But it is, um, unusual. And a little, um, delicate." Oh, crap, I was making this awkward. No, it had passed awkward a while back. This was approaching dreadful.
Matt looked at me, tilted his head a bit, "Yeah, I mean, Jason and I have been good friends for like, forever. So what would be so delicate? You aren't fixing us up with dates again, are you?"
I had forgotten that, but Matthew obviously had not. The daughters of Jan's cousin had seemed nice, but the resulting dinner had been dismal. Absolutely no chemistry between either boy and the girls. "No, nothing like that. Well, not exactly, no, not that." Come on, get a grip. You need to get to the point. Jan was probably asking Jason at the same moment and he would be texting Kyle any moment. We knew they would want to compare notes or at least share information.
"Kyle, Jan, um, Mrs. Davis and I want to make sure you and Jason are experienced before you go off to college, and we want to have you." Have you? Have you, what? "Together." I stammered after a pause.
"Wait, WHAT?" Kyle asked. His eyes were huge, his mouth had opened and then closed, but I most definitely had his attention. His undivided attention. His phone buzzed, but he ignored it and just looked at me.
I continued "We would like to have you 'be' with us. You with Mrs. Davis, and me with Jason. Together. For the experience. Sex." There. I had put it out there. "So, you probably want to think it over, you'll probably have some questions. Do you need to talk to Jason? Any questions right now?" Whoa, slow down. Give him a moment to let it soak in. Nerves are a funny thing. Kind of like caffeine without the cream and sugar.
"Um, yeah, I would like to talk it over with Jason, and yeah, I know there will be questions. But, um, wow. You aren't messing with me, you are for real, right?" His phone buzzed again urgently. "It's Jason. Let me see what's up."
I left him at the table, but went far enough to be out of sight but within earshot. I heard some frantic key taps and then his voice. He had obviously considered this call worthy. "Yo, yeah. Your mom, too? What the fuck. I know, right?" Hard to tell what was being said from just this one sided conversation. The good news was that he wasn't crying. Or mad. A few more minutes of hushed voices and a few expletives and then "Uh, Mom?" I returned to the kitchen. Call Mrs. Davis, I'm going to talk more with Jason. Upstairs."
I called Jan, thankfully I had speed dial so I only had to hit one button. "Marie, they are in! Can you fucking believe it? Jason said he and Matthew were in!" I didn't point out the obvious pun she was making, but I already had a list of things to do. I wanted to lose a few pounds, maybe do a few more kegel exercises, get a new outfit. Who knew it was such a production being so nasty! My nervousness faded as the excitement took over.
