I never would have thought that I would be telling a story like this. My name is Justin, and Iâm 22. I still live at home with my mother and my younger sister.
My father left when I was young, too young to remember him. My mother was pregnant with my sister at the time, and to the best of my knowledge, he doesnât even know that she exists.
My mother worked hard all our lives to try to make our situation as easy as possible. She kept a decent job, and spent most of her free time taking care of my sister and me. She rarely dated, at least that I know of, and except for the occasional ânight outâ with some of her friends from work, barely had a social life. Itâs not that she didnât have opportunities, Iâm sure. Sheâs 43, and looks very good for a woman her age. I wish she had taken more time to enjoy herself.
Despite all my motherâs efforts to be a good mom, my sister Jamie turned out to be a rebellious pain in the ass. Sheâs 19 now, but from the time she was 17, she was impossible to even talk to, much less get along with. Both my mother and I have just about given up on trying to reason with her. I donât think Iâve spoken more than two words to her in the past year. She doesnât spend much time at home anymore, and neither my mother nor I have any idea what sheâs up to, but Iâm sure itâs not good.
My mother has been taking it hard for the past year, and blames herself for the way my sister turned out. She says sheâs afraid that Jamie will turn out like her, or worse. I used to try to reason with Jamie, to help mom, but it was just useless.
It was about eight Oâ clock on a Friday night. I was home alone, which has become a regular occurrence over the past few months. I was in the basement working out when my mom stumbled in. It was obvious that she had been drinking, something that was also becoming a regular event. I tried not to get on her about it, but it has gotten worse over the past few months. The week before, I actually had to carry her up to her room and put her to bed. I knew why it was happening, but it didnât make it any better. Suddenly, it was as if I was the adult, caring for two troubled teen girls.
She wasnât as bad as sheâd been in the past, but she was pretty lit up. She stumbled her way down the steps, and slipped on the last step. She landed on her ass, and acted as if she meant to sit there. She giggled hysterically as she held on to the walls on either side of her.
âSounds like you had a few too many momâŠâ
She looked up at me as if she just realized I was in the room. She watched as I pushed the weight into the air and rested the bar back on the rest. and sat up to face her. She had a very strange look about her, almost as if she was checking me out. I knew she wasnât, but it was still weird.
âI, uhâŠI had a few. Iâm okay though.â
Her eyes seemed to stay glued to my bare chest as she spoke.
âYou really shouldâŠâ
âWOW!âŠI never noticed what good shape you got yourself intoâŠâ She slurred.
âOhâŠuh, thanks. You know momâŠâ
âYou shouldnât walk around like that you know. There are women in the house!"
She started laughing, her head falling almost into her lap.
âMaybe you should go to bed ma.â
She looked up at me again. âNah, Iâm not tired yet, and itâs earlyâŠItâs Friday night! Live a little Justin! How come youâre not out with a nice girl? Iâm sure you would have no trouble finding one!â
âSomebodyâs got to be here to make sure you get home okay.â
âHey! Whoâs the parent here?â
I just looked at her.
âYou donât have to worry about your mother young man, Iâm fine!â
âWhatever you say mom.â
âI have an idea! Since itâs early, why donât you have a drink with your mother?â
âNo thanks ma, Iâm okay, and I think youâve had enough!â
She laughed again.
âShhhâŠListen to you! Câmon! Just have one drink with meâŠItâll be fun!â
âFineâŠOne drink. Let me get a shirtâŠâ
âDonât bother! Itâs just us! Itâs not like anything I havenât seen before; Iâm your mother! Just help me up and weâll get that drink.â
She held her hands out towards me and smiled. I pulled her to her feet, and she stumbled forward, pressing her hands against my chest and giggling again.
âYou go upstairs and sit down, Iâll pour the drinks.â
She looked at me like she was a little girl at Disney world for the first time, and stumbled up the stairs. I followed her closely up the stairs. She stopped at the top stair, bending over completely, with her ass in my face.
âThese shoes are killing me.â She giggled as she undid the straps on her shoes and kicked them off.
âMuch betterâ She purred as she got to the top of the steps and headed into the living room. I just shook my head and smiled at the way she was acting. If she were sober, sheâd be mortified by her behavior. Iâve never seen my mother act like this, like a carefree teenager, completely naive to the way she was acting. It was actually somewhat amusing.
I headed towards the kitchen, poured us each a glass of scotch, and brought them to the living room, where my mother was sitting on the couch. She looked as if she was going to pass out at any moment. Her head rested on the back of the couch, arms spread wide on either side of her, with her knees pressed tightly together and feet apart. I handed her a glass as I sat next to her. She looked at me as though she was briefly puzzled, but then reached for the glass with both hands, as if I was handing her plutonium.
âCheers!â She held up her glass, then promptly gulped a large amount. I took a slow sip, watching her intently. As much as I hated what my mom was doing to herself, I was rather enjoying the moment.
âSlow down mom, you gotta make that one last.â
âMmmâŠYeaâŠsorry, I was justâŠthatâs good. SoâŠwhatâs going on with you these days?â
âNothing much. Whereâd you go tonight?â
âNoplasheâŠJust out with the girls.â She laughed again. âNo placeâ She corrected herself.
She took another gulp and emptied her glass. She held it to her lips for a second, trying to get every last drop, and then slammed it on the table. She flopped back on the couch, letting her head fall on my chest.
âYou okay mom?â
âShaa! Fine! Why?â
âYou seem a littleâŠdrunk!â
âNah! Iâm okay.â
There was a long pause, and I sipped my drink again.
âIâm sorry Justin.â
âSorry for what?â
âThisâŠMeâŠJamieâŠâ
âDonât be sorry for anything mom. You are a great mom and JamieâŠwellâŠâ
âItâs my fault! Your sister is out doing God knows whatâŠor whoâŠand Iâm here, like thisâŠâ
âItâs okay mom, itâs not your fault.â
She lifted her head and looked directly at me. âDamn right itâs not my fault! I didnât make her likeâŠI mean, look at you right? YouâreâŠI did good right?â
âYou did great mom.â
She let her head fall back on my chest.
âYouâre all sweaty.â
âI know, but you wouldnât let me put my shirt on.â She giggled again, and lifted her head, reaching for her glass, almost falling off the couch.
âHow âbout another?â
âI donât think so mom.â
âPleeeaaseâŠâ
She curled her lip, and I laughed. âHere finish this, then itâs off to bed!â
I handed her my glass and she smiled. She gulped the last of my scotch and fell back on the couch.
âJust leave me here, Iâll be okay.â
âDonât be silly mom. Câmon, letâs go to bed.â
I stood up and pulled her off the couch, walking her up to her bedroom. She sat on the bed while I pulled the covers down.
âCâmon, get in.â
She stood up again, and started to unbutton her dress.
âMom, what are you doing?â
âGetting ready for bed, since my son wonât let me play anymore.â She laughed again, and let the skirt fall to the floor, pooling around her feet. She stepped out of it and tried to kick it aside, almost falling as she worked on her blouse buttons.
âDamn things!â She pulled the blouse open, causing buttons to fly all over the room. I watched my mom as she stood there in her panties and bra, and I couldnât help but admire her body. I felt awful doing it, but I couldnât take my eyes off her. Neither one of us spoke as I admired the sexy, black lingerie she was sporting, and how great she looked in it. I never would have guessed her to wear anything like that, but she looked great. Not like a woman in her forties with two kids. I know she worked out all the time, but I had no idea what great shape she was in.
I never noticed how truly sexy she was before either, probably because she is my mother. It was almost like slow motion as she reached back and pulled the clip from her hair, letting her long dark curls fall on her shoulders. She was completely oblivious to the fact that I was âchecking her outâ â Thank God. I was lost in my trance, when all of a sudden I realized that she was unhooking her bra. I snapped out of it and tried to speak, but it was too late. The bra fell to the floor, and her perfect tits bounced free right in front of me. They did not look like the tits of a 43 year-old woman. They were perfect. Probably about a d-cup, with small, but perfect dark brown nipples. I canât believe I never noticed how big they were, and not a bit of sag whatsoever. Again, itâs probably because she is my mother.
âMOM! What are you doing?â
âShhhâŠOh please! Whatâs the big deal? Iâm sure itâs nothing you havenât seen before.â She laughed again.
