*****
Kate couldn't help but let her tears flow down her cheeks. The papers on her kitchen table brought despair and a sense of not belonging. For 22 years, her marriage had been a blissful life, one of love and companionship. The last few years were just the opposite, anger, hate, jealousy and loneliness. Her soon to be ex-husband had changed, maybe she had as well. She felt it slowly dissipating, year after year, the hugs and kisses became fewer and fewer, the once kind words now filled with a stark coldness. Her signature at the bottom of the page signaled a new chapter in her life. One she wasn't sure where it would take her.
"It will be ok mom, we will take care of each other and we'll do just fine without Dad."
Daniel's words were comforting, at least to a certain point. She had always been close to her son but since the separation two years ago, their relationship has grown even stronger. His role has been one of a protector, not so much in a physical sense but an emotional guard of sorts, one that keeps her emotions intact. His maturity at 18 amazes her, it is he that's taking care of her instead of her taking care of him.
"You're right Daniel, we'll be just fine." Wiping the tears away, she gathered herself up and looked around. "I think we'll start right now, some of these old memories must go and the first to get rid of is that damn recliner chair. I always hated it anyway. Time for a new makeover don't you think Daniel."
"Now you're talking Mom, I agree and I think we need to trash the sofa as well. Maybe rearrange the rest of the furniture also. All these family pictures should be stowed away as well, maybe not thrown away but we don't need to look at them every day."
"Start packing then, I'm going down to the furniture store and see what they have that suits us. Today is a new start and a new beginning, furniture and all."
Kate felt a little giddy during her shopping spree, almost like the proverbial kid in a candy store. The sofa and chair would be perfect for a new look around the house as well as the few knick knack items she bought. Her temptation for a new bed couldn't be held back either, a 4-poster bed with small lights built in would be perfect for her late-night reading.
Daniel had already cleared most of the pictures and "reminders" away when she returned home. It looked a little bare but with the new furnishings, it would look like a new home, or at least a new start to a new life. The small things will make a difference Kate thought to herself, one small step, or maybe one huge leap would suffice just as well.
"I splurged Daniel, new furniture, and even a new bed. They will deliver it later today so we have to get rid of this sofa and chair then take down my bed and get ready for the new stuff. I'll call the Good-Will store and donate it, I think they will come and get it so we don't have to move it."
"Yes ma'am Mom, I'll start taking the bed down but I may need some help with the mattresses."
"Got it, I'll be more than happy to help just as soon as I change clothes."
Kate felt a strange excitement as she rumbled through her closet, and excitement of freedom. Free to choose the furniture, free to do as she wants and even what to wear. She chose her favorite shorts and top and decided to be even freer, her bra she left hanging in the closet. Looking at herself in the mirror she was quite pleased, certainly not model thin or beautiful but still attractive for a woman of 42. Her ample bosom pushing through the thin fabric of her shirt and rubbing her nipples caused a slight stirring inside her. One she hadn't felt for quite a while, one she misses and longs for. Some things will just have to wait, patience and time are on her side.
She was somewhat startled as Daniel abruptly came into the bedroom. "Let's get going mom, Good-Will called back, they will be here in about an hour." She wondered if he had been watching her look at herself in the mirror, not that she had done anything wrong, however, she wasn't used to him barging in. Their, or now her bedroom, was always off limits before, she'd have to get accustomed to new arrangements.
Tools in hand, Daniel started removing the headboard but realized the mattresses would have to go first. "I'll take this side, you take the other side Daniel, on the count of three we'll flip it over to the side and then slide it out to the living room."
Bending over to the reach the mattress she felt her loose-fitting shirt fall down, her breast almost in full view but she couldn't stop in mid-movement. Taking a quick look up she saw Daniel eyeing her breasts, his mouth almost dangling open as he quickly looked away.
"One, two, three go" he managed to mumble and in a split second the mattress was off the bed. What lay underneath shocked and surprised him. Embarrassment flooded Kates face as she reached for the vibrator that she had forgotten about. It had been a while since she used it and it never crossed her mind that it was still there.
Rushing to grab it she saw Daniel look away; "I'm not saying anything, nothing at all Mom" His words were almost a giggle, underneath his breath, she could hear the little snicker as he grabbed the mattress.
"Shut up Daniel" was all she could manage to say, her voice mirroring his little giggle. It seemed to lighten the mood and she could feel her blushing face fade way.
The doorbell rang and Kate let the men in to take away the furniture. Somewhat surprised at one of the men at his dress code, or lack of. His tank top shirt not hiding his toned muscles and his ruffled hair somewhat sexy she thought. A rugged look but one she found attractive as she watched him move the sofa. His voice was silent, barely saying a word as he attempted not to stare at her nipples pushing through her shirt.
Kate knew he was looking, and she knew what he was looking at, she didn't care for some reason, her newly found freedom enjoying every delicious second of attention. He must have liked what he saw, his bulging jeans seemed to be growing.
It wasn't long after they left the new furniture arrived. Kate directed them to the bedroom with the bedroom suit and Daniel placed the sofa, chairs, lamps and other knick-knacks in the living room. His placement of the items surprised her.
"Wow Daniel, this looks great, I like it, I think it's absolutely perfect! Quite the decorator you are, now though I need some help putting this bed together."
