I went in the back door, which enters the kitchen, and was immediately surrounded by Moms arms. Shit! I should have checked out the front of the house.
Mom was hugging me tightly and saying, "OH, Thank God you're alright!"
Then she stepped back and I could see tears in her eyes.
"Why did you run off? Mom asked holding my hands. "When I found you were gone, I was worried sick."
"I had a bad night and went riding around." I said.
"Well, now you're home." Mom said and hugged me again. "Do you want me to fix you something to eat?"
"No, I'm not really hungry, Mom." But, I was hungry, hungry for answers, to all of the questions in my mind, hungry for an explanation of last night's events.
Mom poured us both a cup of tea and said, "Have some tea with me and let's talk."
Yeah, Mom let's talk, I thought. I'm scared that my happy uneventful life is over! Scared of my folks getting a divorce! Scared that Dad is going to punish me severely for my sneaking and peeping!
Mom came over and set the tea down, hugged my head to her chest, causing more confusion. And then she sat down across from me.
That was actually when I noticed Mom. When my ear hit her chest, my nose hit a tit and the back of my head hit the other tit. Mom wasn't braless under her light blue cotton blouse.
She was wearing a knee length skirt the same color as the blouse with her legs covered by very light brown nylons. She had light brown flat sole sandals on her small feet. Her hair was neatly styled and there didn't seem to be any makeup on her pretty face.
"Well," Mom began, "it seems everybody in this family, except your sister of course, had a very emotional night last night." Her eyes were bright and her lips formed a gentle smile. She was holding her cup in both hands as she looked in my eyes, checking for a reaction.
In that pause, I sipped my tea, as I thought, 'Emotional isn't exactly what I'm thinking.' Outright turmoil was running through my mind.
"Why did you have to take that job? I said lowly, not realizing I said it out loud.
Mom reached out and took my hand. "Me too, I've asked that too." Mom said. "But, you know, that job just made everything happen sooner." Mom then winked.
That winking was driving me crazy.
"Let me, kind of, start at the beginning." Mom said as she gently squeezed my hand.
"You, of course, know Donna Mitchell. Donna and I had been getting friendlier at school functions, talking more and more. Our conversations progressed to more personal topics. This threw me off as Donna just doesn't project this in her demeanor.
Slowly, I realized that there is more to this woman than she presents to the public. And then, one day, I went to the new SuperCenter on the other side of town.
I saw Donna there and she was dressed very different than usual. At first I thought it was just someone that looked like her. As I watched and moved closer, I saw clearly that this gorgeous woman was Donna. So, I said, "Donna! You... look fan...tastic!" Donna' head jerked toward me and she was flustered. She said, "Oh Patti, it's you!" Clearly, surprised, as she touched her throat and her stomach pulled tight. I knew instantly that she was startled and embarrassed. I went on about how good she looked and told her she should dress like that all of the time. We then shopped together as Donna told me part of her secret. "I would never dress like this around home.
This is my private life. My -- Very -- Private - Life." She made me promise that I would never tell anyone that I saw her like that.
"More, tea?" I asked, interrupting Mom.
"Yes, please." Mom replied.
As I got the tea Mom continued. "After meeting and talking to Donna that afternoon, I decided that I was going to find out about her, "Very Private Life."
Nothing happened for a while. I was delivering some material to be printed for the Mayors Antidrug Program when I saw Donna at a little sidewalk café. She was accompanied by a nice looking man in a suit. I simply got a coke and watched for a while. I noticed that Donna had removed her right shoe and her foot was up between his legs. This startled me and I thought Donna was a prostitute.
They finished eating and left. I followed them and they went to the office complex at the City Center. As you know, I go to the City Center quite often in my volunteer work. I wondered why I had never seen her there.
A couple of days later we were all at a school function and I was able to talk to Donna again. I mentioned seeing her and the gentleman at the café. She blushed and went, "Oh My." She asked if she could call me later as she didn't want to talk about it then.
When she called, she explained that it was just lunch with her boss at her "Private Life Job." I told her that I saw her foot, and she said she would have to explain over time because it was just too complicated to give an immediate answer. Well! She wasn't a prostitute which relieved me.
As I set the tea on the table, I asked, "Is that when you started talking to her more on the phone?"
"Why, yes it was." Mom responded, quizzically. Adding, "I forgot how observant you are." Again she winked.
Those winks were perturbing me.
Mom continued, telling me about how Donna was slowly over time explaining that she kept her home life and work life separate. Her home life was maintained as "Prim and Proper," without deviation. Her work life, however, was hers to enjoy as much as possible.
Mom and Donna thought alike in that. But, Mom couldn't see doing the double life act. Donna had said that she didn't want her work activities to affect her home and society standing. She wanted to give her daughter a simple life that was as stable and accepted by the community as possible.
As time went on Donna talked Mom into thinking about employment. She told Mom that she knew Mom would like working where she did. Mom kept busy with her volunteer and political work which didn't tie her down and allowed her to be constantly available to her family. Family was important to Mom.
Slowly the two women became confidants, revealing their thoughts to each other. Donna drew Moms sexual fantasies out.
I started squirming because this was exciting me.
Mom noticed and said, "Let's stop for now and get some air?"
That was fine with me.
Mom said, "Let's go for a ride." As she stood and left the kitchen she put her hand on my shoulder and dragged it softly across my neck. I got goose bumps at her touch. As we drove down the street Mom asked if there was anyplace in particular I wanted to go. Telling her no, I settled back in the seat. Mom drove out of town and was taking it nice and slow down a back road. I completely relaxed and fell asleep. The next thing I know, Mom is gently caressing my forehead and whispering my name.
"William, William, wake up honey, we're home."
I looked up into Moms smiling eyes, and then looking down her blouse, I said, "Gee Mom, I'm sorry I went to sleep on ya." Since I didn't sleep the night before it caught up with me in the car.
Mom said, "Come on inside." And she took my arm and pulled me up.
I shook the sleep from my head and followed Mom inside. I went to the bathroom and then into the kitchen for a coke.
Mom came up behind me and slipped her arms around my waist. I froze. Then she whispered in my ear, "Aren't you wondering how I knew about you're spying?" Her hands were now on my chest, fingers spread, pulling me into her. Her tits were pressing into my back and her warm breath on my neck had me trembling. I was weak. Mom then released me and said, "Come on."
I meekly followed Mom to the closet.
Mom opened the door and said, "You weren't very clean about it. I noticed dust on the clothes." She reached up and brushed dust off of the hanging garments. After cleaning up I started thinking of where the dust could be coming from, so I started looking around. Pointing at the shoe shelf I had made, she said, "I noticed the paint was wearing off the front. Then I noticed shoe prints."
Yep, the shoes on the shelves left sliding marks not imprints. Boy was I dumb.
"So looking up at the ceiling, I couldn't see anything out of place, but I noticed the plaque you made hanging on the wall." She was pointing at it. "I climbed up and moved the plaque and dust fell. So I raised it up and saw the hole in the wall. Still curious I removed the plaque and stood up so I could look in the hole. I was shocked, I could see into the living room, plainly and clearly.
Then I remembered the etched mirror you hung on the living room wall, and it hit me, a two way mirror. I went to the living room and looked at the mirror and then looked around the living room, thinking, what could you, be watching. You were watching me and your father having sex flashed in my mind. I put the plaque back, cleaned up, and finished my work thinking about being watched, watched by my son."
"Mom, I...I...I'm sorry." I stammered.
Mom reached up and caressed my cheek. "Shhhh," she said, "It's all right." "Didn't you notice that your father and I didn't do it in the living room very much, for a while?" Mom asked.
I could barely answer, "Yes."
Mom continued, "The thought of you watching, concerned me for a while, and then, it started turning me on. And then, you bought your father that etched "Ford" mirror. I listened to you convincing him to hang it where it is. Curious, I thought. Sure enough, when I checked the closet and saw your sisters' plaque, I knew you were not giving up. And, I was really turned on thinking about you watching.
I started thinking about you watching, and how I could put on a show for you. That's when I began putting mirrors in strategic locations. It wasn't easy keeping things decorative and functioning the way I wanted at the same time. It took me several tries to get them right. I decided that your father and I would do something sexual at every opportunity."
