Part 1 The Realisation
As Kate flew out to Italy to meet her son she had no idea that things would happen as they did. But then who could have foreseen what happened? It certainly wasn't planned. Events like that rarely are, they just happen.
Grant was at Durham University studying psychology having done extremely well at school in all areas, Soccer captain, 1st eleven at cricket and a superb tennis player his sporting achievements were equalled by his scholastic attainments in most subjects.
Kate was so proud of him particularly, as for the past eight of his eighteen years, she'd brought him up alone after she and her husband divorced. She'd done a good job not just in his prowess at school but also in the way he related to other people and in the close yet very open relationship she and he had.
They'd tried to arrange a holiday before he went up to uni but so many other things were going on that it hadn't been possible. So this Easter was the first time they could both get away to enjoy what really was Kate's present to him for doing so well at getting to Durham. It had been easier for him to fly from Newcastle with Kate leaving from Heathrow so as her plane started to descend into Naples airport she felt excited at seeing him for they hadn't seen each other for over three months, the longest time they'd been apart since she'd given birth to him. "Hello gorgeous," Grant smiled taking Kate into his arms when she came through customs.
"Hello darling, how are you?" Kate replied hugging her son and kissing him on the cheek.
"Let me look at you? Hmmmm you look as though you've lost weight, are you eating properly?"
"Stop fussing ma, I'm fine. How are you? You look as though you've put some one."
"Don't be cheeky," Kate replied giving him a playful smack as she slid her arm through his and walked alongside him as he wheeled her luggage trolley to the car rental area.
This had become something of a regular joke between them for like most mothers whose sons are living away from home Kate worried that he wouldn't eat properly. And for as long as Grant could remember his mother had been on and off diets fighting against increasing her weight. She wasn't big or overweight at all really but she was curvy with a figure in the 36d 27 37 area. Rubenesque her ex had referred to it a few times. As Kate made the arrangements for the hire car they chatted away telling each other their news and talking about how much they were both looking forward to the holiday in the house she'd rented in Sorrento.
A little on the small side the house tucked up in the cliffs just a modest walk from the town. It was beautifully furnished with two bedrooms a lounge and a tiny kitchen. There was an outside terrace overlooking the sea and a small pool.
"Its great mum," Grant said walking around it and out onto the patio that looked down the cliffs to the sea.
"Yes its lovely isn't it?" she said standing alongside him looking at the view.
They'd picked up some basics at a small supermarket on the way to the house so after unpacking they had a glass of wine on the terrace and caught up with each others news. Grant told her all about life at uni and she filled him in on events at home. It was easy, comfortable and very family.
They walked to a pizzeria and had a simple but typical of Italy, beautiful meal washed down with the local cheap wine that tasted like nectar. Strolling home Grant slipped his arm round his mother's shoulders and she slid hers round his waist.
"What a great idea K," he said using the nickname he'd given her ages ago.
"Well we used to come here when you were young Grant and I've always loved Italy and thought now you were grown up you would get to love it as well." They chatted away until they got back to the house around nine when they opened another bottle of wine and took that onto the terrace.
"It's a bit chilly K, shall we go inside?"
"Well it is only April. Yes I think we'd better don't want to catch a chill on our first night do we?"
They put the TV on and found a satellite channel showing British films and settled down in the easy chairs.
What with the flight, the drinks before dinner and the wine with that and now they both felt tired and a little tipsy. Kate was stretched out on a sofa and Grant was sitting on the floor leaning against it. Occasionally Kate would run her hand through his blonde hair and he'd put his hand up onto the sofa and briefly they'd hold hands.
"Mum," he said quietly looking up at her.
"Mum? Where's the K gone? I was quite enjoying the anonymity of that and the fact that people might think I was away with my toyboy," she said smiling.
"Oh OK, K then," Grant replied the tone of his voice making Kate realise he wanted to talk seriously.
"What is it darling?" she asked sitting up.
He sat on the sofa beside her.
"I have to tell you something."
"What, what is it?"
Grant looked down his eyes avoiding hers as he said quietly.
"I think I might be gay."
That hit Kate like a bombshell for she had absolutely no inkling of it and he'd always been popular with girls having had several girl friends before going to uni.
"Why Grant? Why do you say that?"
He went on to tell her some of his innermost secrets. It took quite a while for several times he almost broke down making Kate's heart go out to her son to see him fighting back the tears. He told her that he'd never had full sex with a girl and that on two occasions when he'd been near he'd lost his erection.
"I just don't know what to do mum. I get so nervous and when I start to undress a girl I get, er, um I don't know, frightened I suppose."
Kate tried explaining that it was probably quite normal and was just nerves. But then Grant blew her arguments away.
"It gets worse," he said looking at her the most pitiful look in his eye. "You sure you want to hear?"
Kate put her arms around his head and kissing him said. "Of course darling I want to help you, understand you. Don't worry we'll win."
That made Grant smile and he went, on, albeit slowly, and clearly quite embarrassed explained that he'd hurt his leg playing football. He'd told some of his mates about it and a couple that were studying medicine quickly diagnosed it as a strained hamstring. One offered to treat him and had come to Grant's room the next day. Grant had removed his trousers and was lying on his bed in his underpants as the guy massaged his leg. He explained that at first he was massaged on the back of his leg but then the other chap said for him to turn over. Almost sobbing with embarrassment Grant said.
"And as he massaged the front of my leg I got an erection."
Kate didn't know what to say or what to do and listened quite shocked as her son then told her that the man looked at the growing bulge in his boxers then stared into Grant's eyes before smiling and saying. "Mmmm nice want me to sort that out as well?"
"And mum I let him masturbate me," Grant told her now actually crying.
"Oh baby, baby," Kate whispered into his ear as she cuddled and kissed him desperately trying to console her son.
They talked for some time and then around11 they went to bed.
She just couldn't get to sleep worrying about Grant and what she could do to help and console him. It wasn't the fact that he might be gay that worried her so much it was the confusion and turmoil that she knew he was going through. The worry and concern that he might be gay. If he was , so what she thought? She wanted to help him realise it wasn't the worst thing in the world and in any case it was probably just part of his sexual growing up. And on top of that she wanted to help him. It seemed so unfair that boys and young men had to go through such a difficult and traumatic learning path with girls. As to the masturbation with the other guy she didn't think that meant much other than perhaps a son was like her and could as they say "swing both ways." She could identify with him for she'd been there, had the same feelings, confusion and worries.
"Grant are you asleep?" Sarah asked opening his bedroom door.
"No K I'm not I can't sleep."
"Neither can I," she said adding, "OK if I come in???"
"Of course."
Kate hadn't bothered to bring a dressing gown with her so she was just wearing a mid thigh length, thin cotton, tee shirt dress. She sat on the edge of her son's bed and taking his hand said.
"I feel so sorry for you luv but I'm sure things'll be ok."
"But mum, sorry K I really am so worried."
"Grant I'm going to tell you something I've never told anyone else other than your father. I've thought very carefully as to whether I should tell you and because of what's happened I feel I should."
"What is it then?"
"Please don't think too badly of me," she said gripping his hand, a little too tightly which in turn pressed the back of it more firmly her bare thigh.
"I won't I promise."
Kate then blurted out to her son that she'd been with several women over the years. "Was that why you and dad broke up then?"
"No that had nothing to do with it."
"OK," he replied.
"You see Grant what I'm saying is that anyone can gain sexual satisfaction from their own sex without being gay."
"You mean bisexual."
"Yes I suppose so."
"Do you think you are?" he asked.
"Yes I probably am."
"Do you still enjoy men then?"
