I grew up like most boys in America. I wasn't particularly into studying and preferred to concentrate on sports.
I was the only child and my relationship with my parents was not unusual either. I guess...
My father worked until late afternoon in a printing shop, that was publishing material on line too. Most of the time he was tired when he came home.
My discussions with him were brief. He just wanted to know that I was doing OK in school and not getting into trouble.
Mom was warmer and had more time for me, even though she worked a lot with dad.
Sometimes she helped with homework, other times she drove me to courses and important games.
I knew that whenever I had 'issues', she was the one I was supposed to 'bother'...
Everything was fine until one day that my world turned upside down.
I was 18 at the time and senior in high school.
I came home and found my mother in tears.
"Mom, what happened?"
"...I didn't know how to tell you before... Dad and I get a divorce!..."
"Mom, are you sure? Before every divorce there are arguments and shouting. I never heard any of it!..."
"Morgan, did you hear me talk to dad much lately?"
"No, but I assumed that he was too tired. And then I went out to friends..."
"Darling, we tried to spare you... So all our fighting we did in your absence."
"Mom, I still do not get it. WHY you divorce each other?..."
"Look, you'll find out sooner or later anyway... The main cause is that your father wants to marry his mistress. She is a 20 years old blond with big boobs..."
"Mom, I don't understand. You are barely 40 and very attractive! Why does a 50 years old guy want a relationship with a bimbo who could be his daughter?"
"Morgan dear, you are young and naive... Read the gossip about the love life of Leonardo Di Caprio..."
"Mom, I'll talk to dad when he comes home, but remember that I'll always be here for you! And I am sure that soon you'll find another man, that will be much better for you than the jer... than dad..."
Mom smiled through her tears and hugged me, "You are and always be my first love..."
I embraced her and kissed her forehead.
'What an idiot dad is!... He has a treasure at home and he is about to ruin everything for a Lolita?!...'
I felt extremely sorry for mom...
She was the glue in our family. She organized every social gathering, cooked, cleaned, laundry... She took care of the bills and taxes. Dad was mostly a guest at home, while she was the ultimate homemaker...
If everything I mentioned before was not enough, there was something else too...
It's true that mom just celebrated her 40th birthday, but she was a knockout!...
On days that she didn't work, mom was exercising at LA fitness. In addition, she was doing yoga 3 times a week.
She was in great shape physically. On the rare occasions that we went on trips together, she was always ahead of dad and eventually had to wait for him to catch up.
And if that wasn't enough, twice lately I got glimpses of her body as she was getting out of the shower.
Both times she was covered with a large soft towel and nothing else.
What can I say... As a young guy with his hormones raging, my dick jumped up!
Initially I was ashamed of myself. God! this is my own mother...
But within few weeks my shame and embarrassment turned into obsession.
In her absence I checked her drawers, examining her panties, bras and few lingberries she had.
They were all supposedly clean, but they had distinct intoxicating smell... Was it HER faint smell that remained in spite of being laundered? Did the odor come from the drawer itself or something she put in it?...
My next step like many good old pervert boys, was to explore the laundry box for her used underwear, later using them as a subject for my fantasies and... masturbation.
To cut the story short, I was obsessed with mom's body. Her pretty face was another advantage, but my hormones concentrated on her under-the-neck areas...
However, I knew that all these imaginary visions were only fantasies of a growing up sick mind. She'd never go for it!
Dad didn't come home that evening or the next one...
"Mom, is dad never going to show up here?..."
"I do not know Morgan. He may be very busy with his new blondie and his lawyer... or work. We are finalizing the agreement about our properties. By the way, I insisted to have the printing business, because I thought that one day you might want to own it or at least work there."
"I don't know mom..."
The next evening dad showed up at home. His suitcases were neatly placed by the door. Mom was teary eyed again, even though she tried to hide the signs with heavy makeup.
Dad asked me one question, "Son, do you want to live with me or your mother?"
I stared at him with obvious contempt, "Dad, what do YOU think?... You never cared much about me anyway... And now I also understand that you care less about mom as well..."
He gazed at me, "Son, you are upset. I am not going to explain or discuss my choices I made with you now, but eventually, if you are still interested, I will. Remember one thing - At your age everything is either white or black. When you grow up, you'll learn that life has many unexpected turns with unpredictable results!... Take care now." And he left. I didn't hug or kiss him.
I didn't have his new address (although I had his cellphone number).
I hugged mom, "It's only you and me now!"
"Yes Morgan. During the weekend I want to show you all our private documents and then take you to our printing shop. If something happens to me, you'll need to know where everything is!"
Saturday morning mom and I drove to the printing facility.
Funny, I never visited the place where my parents worked for so many years...
The size of the place was like an average 1 story building. It had a larger area for the printing machines, a smaller area with 5 computers and a small office.
"Mom, I've seen at home some brochures, pamphlets, greeting cards and even short stories that you've printed. But what do use these computers for?"
"Son, we have few on-line ventures too. One day, when we have more time, I'll give you all the details..."
Both what she said and the vague way she said it sounded unusual to me. If there was one area that I excelled in at school, computer sciences was it.
Instead of proudly showing me the files on the computer, she avoided it all together! That was weird...
"Mom, you have 2 computers at home, so one of them is a work computer, right?"
"Yes. Every now and then I have to work from home."
"Thanks for showing me the place. Let's go home. Actually, it's a weekend... Do you want to go to a restaurant and a movie?"
"Morgan, I'd like to... But it reminds me of something I wanted to ask you for quite sometime. You often go visit friends, play sports, or on your computer, but I haven't seen or heard anything about a girl... You are tall, handsome and attractive. Is there anything I should know?..."
I smirked, "Mom, if you are trying to find out if I am gay, the answer is NO. I have no problem with gays, lesbians or others in the LGBTQ movement, but in my case the explanation is simple. I have Oedipus complex..."
Mom chuckled, "Morgan, I also love you, but I was serious..."
I faked a whine, "If my mother doesn't believe me, who will?!..."
She laughed loudly, "You are so naughty! I know that you are trying to avoid my question, but it's all right. I am not going to infringe on your private matters."
"Mom, will you do me a favor, please?"
"Of course. What is it?"
"If we are going to a restaurant and a movie, it's like a date. Can you dress up for a date then?..."
"Geez! Morgan, last time I was on a date with a man was before you were born... But OK. We'll be home soon. If you take care of the restaurant reservation and buy on line movie tickets, I'll dress up for you. Deal?!..."
"Mom, I love you and it's a deal! What are you in the mood to eat and later watch on the big screen?"
"My favorites are seafood and a romantic comedy, but you can choose whatever you like."
Later that evening I put on nice clean jeans and an ironed shirt, that mom bought me for my 18th birthday.
I waited for her in the living room.
Ten minutes before our reservation time at the restaurant mom came out of her bedroom. She looked gorgeous!
As I recalled, her hair was always arranged in a bun. That evening she let it free. It framed nicely her pretty face.
There were little touches of makeup and mascara. And a glossy red lipstick.
"Morgan, is it true that all men love to see their women have red lipstick on?"
"I don't know about ALL men, but I think that you look amazing with it!..."
She had a gray, midi style dress that hugged her body nicely.
A 3" high heels were perfect. With them she was shorter than me by about 3 - 4 inches...
She saw me ogle her body... I meant her dress... She chortled, "Does it mean that my date approves?..."
"OH, YES!!! If you weren't my mother... Never mind..."
She kissed my cheek, "You are a true gentleman. Let's eat."
I was lucky to find available table at a good local seafood restaurant. The food was very tasty. The white wine too.
Then we went to see Silver Lining Playbook with Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence.
I preferred action movies, but mom loved it. She gave me her hand saying it was a good choice.
We returned home happy.
She kissed my cheek again, "Thank you for being so nice to an old lady..."
"Mom, if I were 5 years older and not your son..."
She smiled, "You are such a flatterer... I am going to sleep now. Tomorrow morning I drive early to my friend Cheryl. I promised to help her pack some stuff for her next trip. I'll be back around noon or slightly later."
The next morning I woke up at 9. Mom left earlier.
I grabbed cereals and went to mom's room.
