I walked through the front door and chunked my backpack into my bedroom. It was my usual routine, get home from school and find something to snack on. I walked into the kitchen and searched the drawers, fairly bleak as usual. I didn't hear any commotion, but both my mom and her boyfriend Chris were home; their cars both parked in the driveway. I kept searching the kitchen, still nothing catching my eye. As I searched the kitchen I could hear voices inside my mothers room.
The voices got louder, I could only imagine what was going on.
"No Chris, please no. Don't do this in front of Alex."
I heard a slapping noise, I could only ponder on what was going on.
The bedroom door swung open, Chris exited the room first. He was yanking on moms arm as he rushed her into the living room, our kitchen a joined the living room. He was shirtless, his usual pair of blue jeans on. His belt was still on his waist, but it was unfastened from his waist; just hanging loosely. Mom had on a blue T-shirt and a pair of lounging shorts on. She looked troubled, I could see it on her face.
"What is going on?" I asked.
Chris pointed to the living room and drug my mother to the center of it.
"Alex, set on the couch." Chris said.
I could tell he had been drinking again, I could smell it on him.
Mom was standing in the living room, watching me closely as I approached the couch and sat down. Chris walked over to her and then looked back at me.
"Terri, you're going to learn the hard way if it helps you learn at all. If I have to punish you in front of your son, then that's what it will take."
"Chris please, not in front of him. You can have your way with me, just not in front of Alex" Mom pleaded.
I sat on the couch, not sure of what was exactly going on. Chris was not abusive on my mother, but he was no stranger to give her a belting. I hadn't seen it before, but had clearly heard it late at night. I just figured it was there business, and I would keep my nose out of it. His beltings sounded painful though, especially when he drank.
"Alex, mommy is about to be spanked. That is what's going on honey. Everything will be okay, you don't have to watch this. Whatever Chris does is alright, he just loves us very much."
Chris apparently had heard enough of the talk, he swiftly grabbed moms right arm and turned her around. She was facing away from me, her backside facing me. She stood still with her arms down at her sides, I could feel her anxiety. Chris leaned down and swatted her a couple of times with his right hand. The swats sounded painful, he definitely was landing his marks.
"How does it feel? Getting your ass whipped in front of your own son. Maybe you'll learn today, maybe this will grab your attention". Chris shouted.
I was a little uncomfortable, leaning back on the couch just a bit. Chris continued spanking mom, swatting her butt with his hand. After a few moments he reached down and pulled her shorts down. They slid down her legs easily, pooling around her bare feet. She wasn't wearing any underwear, the only thing left was her bare butt. I sat there and just gazed at her, mom was sort of pale skinned, not tan at all. She was around 5'3 and fairly skinny, her butt wasn't big by any means, but she had some "junk in the trunk" as my friends would joke.
