Greg and I went through our regular daily routines for the rest of the week. I was relieved that my son wanted to forget about what we had done. Although I was happy that both of us ignored it, I still had to deal with a lot of shame around it. I thought about what had happened over and over all week. I wasn't sleeping well and tried drinking myself to sleep the past two nights.
Now, it was Friday, and we had a long weekend. I desperately needed to catch up and get some rest. When I got home, I heard the shower running, and I went directly into my bedroom to change and relax. Greg came out of the bathroom and saw me sitting on the side of my bed. He came into my room dressed in a towel wrapped around his waist. "Hey, Mom. Happy Friday. Any big plans for the long weekend?"
And just like that, I was right back to being uncomfortable as I struggled to make eye contact and speak to my son. Seeing him standing there still wet from his shower and barely clothed, sent me into a tailspin. "H...H...Hey, G...Greg...Um...No...Same as always...How about you?"
I believe my son knew the uncomfortableness he was causing me at that moment. He stood there with a big smile on his face, leaning against my doorway. "Yeah, I'm going out tonight with some friends. We're going to a pub to eat and drink until we can't walk. Maybe meet some women."
I felt like he was testing me with that last part. I have been overprotective of Greg his whole life when it comes to women. This time, it was different. I felt like he was trying to see what my reaction was going to be if he mentioned being with other woman. Honestly, I felt hurt by his comment. Even though we were trying to forget last weekend's events, I couldn't forget how he made me feel in the moments of last weekend. I know we needed to move on and never repeat what we did, but that doesn't mean it didn't have an overwhelming effect on me. "That sounds like fun, Hun...I'm glad you're getting out...I hope you have fun...Seriously...Have fun and be safe."
Greg shrugged his shoulders and said, "Ok, Mom. I will. I hope you have a good night, too."
When Greg walked away, I immediately went to the kitchen to grab a bottle of wine and the largest glass I could find. I went to the living room and placed them on the coffee table. I walked to the front door to see if it was locked. When I turned around, I gasped as I looked into Greg's room. He was drying himself off and was completely nude. Seeing him with no clothes on stopped me dead in my tracks. Thank God he didn't know I was standing there watching him. My eyes went directly to looking at his penis. Although I had felt his penis resting against me last week, I had no idea how big he was until this moment. Even flaccid, it looked long. What was more intimidating than that was how thick it was. I instantly felt mesmerized seeing him like this. I quickly moved to the couch before he spotted me staring at him. I was flustered as I sat down. I immediately started chugging wine, hoping it would settle my thoughts. I knew I needed to forget what had happened between us, but the more I tried, the more difficult it got to get him out of my mind. I felt trapped and obsessed. Thoughts of Greg consuming me every minute of every day. The only thing that helped was drinking more than I should.
Greg came out of his room to say goodbye. He was dressed in jeans and a shirt that hugged his body, highlighting his physique. I don't know which I liked more, seeing him nude or like this. "How do I look, Mom," he asked.
Without thinking, I blurted out, "You look amazing. You are a sexy young man." As soon as the words left my lips, I felt redness forming on my cheeks.
Greg didn't waste any time on his comeback. "Sexy, huh, Mom?" Then he gave me his big, handsome smile before continuing. "So, I shouldn't have any trouble scoring tonight?"
Greg and I would often joke back and forth with each other about things like this. He would ask me for advice, and I would warn him what to look out for with women. But...Since our interaction, I have had a hard time adjusting to whether he was toying with me or legitimately looking for my input. "Y...You'll...b...b...be fine, Greg," I stuttered before changing the subject. "If you are going to be drinking, I hope you're not driving."
Greg told me, "No, none of us are driving. We're meeting there. Jessica offered to drop me off and pick me up if I plan on coming home. Aunt Becky is working the overnight shift tonight, so Jessica has her car."
Of course, Jessica offered her services to my son. Knowing that she was going to pick him up while he was drunk was not a good idea (read spinoff, Jessica and Greg). After seeing what my son was packing, I had concerns that he would ruin Jessica if he ever went further with her. "Well, I'm glad you're not driving. Please let me know if you are coming home or not. I realize you are an adult, but I still worry about you. I am still your mother. And stay away from insecure, psychotic women, please. I can't help you with stalkers. I can't fight and I only weigh a hundred pounds." Greg giggled at my response, then gave me a kiss and hug before leaving for the night.
Once the door closed, my reality set in. I was able to admit to myself that the thought of Greg being with another woman drove me insane. My main concern was Jessica. It was obvious that she was willing to give Greg anything he wanted. And Greg liked her. Maybe it was her youth, how naΓ―ve she was, or the challenge of seeing if he could get his cousin into bed. She was definitely convenient. I had the TV on all night but don't remember one thing I watched. My brain was consumed with thoughts of jealousy of whoever Greg was going to end up with tonight.
At ten thirty, it dawned on me that I had drunk a bottle of wine and wasted my night thinking about things that I couldn't do and things that were never going to happen. I realized that texting people while drunk is a big mistake, but I did it anyway because I couldn't control my behavior. I texted Greg, "Hey, I hope you're having fun. Just checking to see if you are coming home tonight?"
I grew frustrated staring at my phone for the next half hour waiting for a response. Then, at eleven, he texted me back. "Hey, Mom. Not sure yet. Why? Do you miss me? LOL"
Again, we have always had a very open back and forth relationship, but because of last week, my brain had racing thoughts. I didn't know if he was flirting with me or just being his usual, sweet, smartass self. I thought to myself, what would my response be prior to last week? "Of course I miss you, silly. I was just checking in before I went to bed."
I was not prepared for Greg's response. "So, you're not going to wait up for me? That's no fun. Or do you want me to sneak into bed with you when I get home?"
I went to the kitchen and opened a fresh bottle of wine. This conversation was not our normal interaction. I wondered how drunk my son was because his innuendo was becoming clear, and I couldn't believe we were engaging like this. I knew I needed to respond. The alcohol was controlling my thoughts. "You're a grown man. If that's what you want to do, I'm not in a position to stop you. I told you, I'm not a fighter and i weigh a hundred pounds less than you." If he wanted to play confusing games, I thought, fuck it, I can do that too. I couldn't believe what I said to him and was having a hard time breathing, waiting for his response. I wondered if I overstepped or misread Greg's comment.
While guzzling wine and staring at my phone, Greg's response finally came through. "Is that what you want me to do? For me to come home and crawl into bed with you? I don't want you to be confused about anything. We still have to live together, and I don't want you to be upset. Just trying to be clear on what we are saying. I mean, I am really drunk and don't want to misread what we're talking about. LOL!"
If there were any doubts about what was being implied, those doubts were now gone. Greg was like any other guy who has been drinking. His only concern was who he was going to get with. On the other hand, I was thinking about my vulnerability and how much I enjoyed feeling weak when my son was lying with me. My son was being clear with me without telling me what he was going to do. Again, he was toying with me. I knew I should shut this conversation down, but my brain racing was mixing with the alcohol, and I was losing the little control I had left. I responded, "Well, I'm drunk too. There are a lot of things being implied, or maybe I'm too drunk and misunderstanding things. So, I don't know what to tell you, Greg. I'll be in bed when you get home. I'm in no position to make rational decisions. We seem to be good at pretending nothing happens when there's awkwardness. Again, I'm too small, drunk, and weak to have any control over things." I reread my text ten times before hitting send. The thought of my son having his way with me was driving me insane. I was shaking and sweating from the conversation we were having. I wondered if he would actually follow through with it. I felt like I had given him enough implications and that we could pretend nothing happened like we did last week. He did not reply quickly like he usually did. I worried that I freaked him out and crossed a line with him. I texted him, "Are you still there, or did you meet someone?"
"No, Mom, I'm still here. I'm probably going to grab an Uber soon and head home. How long before you go to bed," he asked.
