As Heather was leaving her sisters to head home, Sean was sitting on the living room couch mindlessly flipping through the channels. The house phone rang and with a sigh of annoyance, he got up and headed for the kitchen to answer it.
"Hello?" he said without looking at the caller ID
"Hey stud." His mother's voice playfully replied. "You want to go out and get some pizza with a smoking hottie?"
Sean couldn't tell where his mom's sudden playfulness came from but he didn't mind it. Thinking quickly he said, "No... I'd rather just skip the pleasantries all together and just take her home with me." He had expected his mom to give a 'Hardy Har' and stop joking after that, so he quite surprised with what came next.
"Ooo? You think you could handle her?" Heathers playful tone had taken on a new level of sultriness. "Well you better hope so buddy boy, because you're getting your wish."
Sean was becoming hard just by the sound of her almost seductive playfulness. He couldn't keep it up or he'd blow it. All he said was, "Hopefully. Anyway, what's the plan?"
"How about I pick up a pizza on the way home, you pick out a movie, and we'll enjoy each other's company in about... say an hour?"
"Sounds good to me. Any idea's for the movie?" Sean asked.
"A movie you wouldn't mind watching with your mother I suppose." Heather said
"Well in that case you can pick the movie when you're back and we'll order it."
"Sounds like a date." Heather said before she hung up. Both Heather and Sean smiled to themselves.
*********************
An hour later, Sean was flipping through the channels on the TV when Heather walked in the front door carrying a pizza. They both greeted each other with a casual "hey", trying not to let the anxiety in their voice creep out. Heather kicked off her shoes, walked into the kitchen, and put the pizza box on the counter. By the time she was opening the cabinets to get the plates Sean was walking in the room.
"Smells good, thanks for dinner." he said as he pulled a can of Coke out of the fridge. "How's Aunt Olivia, everything OK?"
"Yep, everything's fine in her world. I just thought I go over a catch up for little." Heather tried to say casually. "She says hello. Also she wanted me to tell you she'll give you a call sometime soon." She handed one of the plates to Sean and headed back into the living room. Sean couldn't help but watch her ass move as he followed her. They both took a seat on the couch, and for a second, they both forgot their secret agendas and ate pizza together in what felt like a moment of normalcy.
"So tell me handsome, what's the movie going to be?" Heather asked as she put her plate on the coffee table and picked up the remote control.
"It's your show, so you tell me." Sean replied. "Something you're comfortable watching with your son I suppose." He couldn't help but smirk after using his mother's own words against her.
"OK." Heather said playfully. "But tonight you're my date, not my son, so why don't we watch a date movie. Either a romance or a horror. Hmmm..." she thought out loud. Sean had to keep his growing excitement under wraps in response to his mother's comment, so he tried his best to sound unenthusiastic about both.
"Both sound lovely" he said sarcastically. Truthfully though, he was excited about where either could end up.
"Well since you sound so enthused, we'll go with romance since I'm sure that's what you'd enjoy best." Heather surfed through the on-demand options for romance movies, until she finally settled on a newer movie that starred a middle aged actress and a young actor half her age. Coincidentally, the movie was about a man that falls in love with his fiancΓ©'s mother. Both Heather and Sean hid their excitement for the plot when reading the synopsis. Heather hit the play button and they sat in silence for the first few minutes of the movie, like two teenagers on their first date together.
Heather finally broke the silence after a few minutes and asked, "So stud, you're not embarrassed having a date night with your old boring mom, are you?" She could hear the playful tease in her voice building on its own.
"Are you kidding? I don't think you're old or boring at all! I actually think you're... " Sean said without thinking. He hadn't meant to sound so excited. He was a bit embarrassed about that actually. He toned it down to finish his comment. "...fun." he said. Heather actually laughed out loud a little at that and smiled.
"Just fun? Come on, be honest. Say what you were planning on saying... that you don't think I'm old and boring, but actually ancient and dreadfully boring." At this they both laughed a little uneasily.
Sean wanted to be sincere, but he didn't know to way extent. "No, I don't mom. I think you're beautiful and interesting." he said. Even after trying to tone it down, it sounded genuine. He was too embarrassed to look away from the TV. Heather couldn't help but feel a jolt of happiness surge through her body.
She wanted to keep the conversation playfully naughty though. She said, "I forgot that guys will say anything to get some."
The conversation stayed flirtatious like this for about an hour, until the movie became increasingly sexual and a tension began filling the air. Both Heather and Sean we're highly turned on by the movie at this point, and Heather realized this was it, the chance to get her foot in the door.
"I don't understand what it is about older women that make guys your age so attracted to them." Heather tried saying nonchalantly, all while she was secretly bubbling inside. "Can you shed any light on the subject?" she asked.
"Ummm..." Sean started, already clearly uncomfortable. "I don't know. We just are I guess." His heart was beating a mile a minute. They both watched the TV screen as a actress in her 40's slowly leaned into the kiss of a man half her age. They both throbbed with nervousness and lust.
"I mean, just look at that guy. He's practically going to have a heart attack just by the anticipation of kissing her." she said. "Is it really like that sweetie? Is just kissing an older woman really that enthralling?" she asked, finally finding the courage to turn and look at her son.
Sean briefly turned and made eye contact with his mother, but only for a few seconds, before he filled with embarrassment and nervousness and his cheeks blushed. "I um... I don't know. I've never kissed an older woman before." he said, now fully embarrassed. "But I'd ah, you know..."
"Like to?" Heather asked before Sean could finish.
"Ya" he replied dimly.
Heather moved in closer to her son. Close enough they could feel each other's heart pounding. "Then do it. Kiss me. Find out if it's all you hope it is."
"But you're my mo...."
"Shhhh" Heather interrupted him quickly. "Tonight I'm just your date remember?"
They stared at each other for what felt like hours. They both knew what they wanted and what this would start. Lust surged through them like a static frequency that pulled them closer together. After a few second, Sean closed his eyes and leaned forward until he felt the softness of his mothers lips pressed against his own. Both Heather and Sean were engulfed by the sensuality of the moment, both lost in a maze of lust. Everything seemed like a catalyst to this very moment. Neither of them wanted to pull away from the warmth of the other's lips, but after ten seconds that felt more like ten hours, Heather pulled away to look at her son. She felt like her control was slipping away.
"So... was it better? As exciting as you hoped for?" Heather asked her son. She thought it was funny hearing herself try and sound calm about it. She didn't want Sean to know about her feelings just yet.
"Mom... that was... that was..." Sean tried.
"...just a kiss sweetie. It was just a kiss." and with that she planted another quick kiss on his forehead and stood up. "I got to clean a few things up and grab a shower, so I hope you don't mind if I cut this date a little short." In reality though, she needed a little time to regain herself and think about what had happened, and Sean was too shocked to be upset about anything. Heather headed up the stairs and closed her bedroom door behind her.
