The doorbell rang with a loud, high-pitched buzz. I got up off the couch, stepped into a pair of gray sweatpants, and dragged my tired body towards the door. I knew it was probably my mom, since she's been my only visitor recently, and I didn't want to answer the door and face her wearing only a ratty, stained undershirt and raggedy old boxers.
"So is this how you're going to spend your Friday night?" Mom asked with a stern look as I opened the door and saw her standing in the hallway of my apartment building. Her arms were crossed and she was tapping her left foot impatiently.
"It's how I've been spending most of my Friday nights." I grumbled, turned around, went back inside, and quickly plopped back down on the couch.
"You can't keep up like this. You need to get out more, meet a woman." Mom replied, marching into my apartment and immediately starting to tidy up the place, which I must admit, has gotten a bit messy. Being a recently divorced man, especially one used to his wife doing all the housework, has made me into somewhat of a slob.
"I know I do. Things have just been rough. I'm working like a bastard, sixty hour weeks, and about all the women I've met as of late haven't exactly been too pleasant. After the string of bad dates I had after the divorce, I guess I've kind of given up for the time being..."
"Tell me about it. I never liked dating. Maybe that's why I married your dad at such a young age. He was the first guy who I could stand being around for more than five minutes."
"And now you two have been together for what, twenty six years? That's definitely more than five minutes. Maybe there's some hope for me."
Mom took a seat next to me on the couch and peered down at the un-vacuumed carpet warily.
"Yes, it's certainly been far longer than five minutes. But things can get awfully boring when you've been with someone that long. If you thought you were sick of Lainey after two years, think of what I go through..."
This was the first time I'd ever heard her talk about her marriage with my dad, so it was surprising to hear her speak so candidly about things between them, and more surprising to learn things weren't going well.
"But you two seem so happy. Aren't you?"
"Appearances can be deceiving. Don't worry about it, though. I shouldn't have said anything."
"It's alright, mom, we can talk."
"No, I don't want to talk about it anymore. I want to talk about you, home every Friday night. When are you going to start dating again? Or at least go out with friends?"
I let out an agitated sigh and shot her a perturbed look.
"Mom, come on. I don't want to talk about that right now. Why are you here on a Friday night, instead of being with dad?"
Her face mirrored my perturbed look, twofold.
"I told you I don't want to talk about that!" She hissed.
Neither of us said anything for a couple minutes. We both stared at the TV, which was tuned to The Discovery Channel . A documentary was on with animals in the wild aggressively mating.
"So is this what you're going to do? Watch animal porn?" Mom sarcastically inquired.
I looked at over at her and we broke into mutual laughter.
"Hey, why don't we go out? You and I?" I asked her, smiling and trying to put on my best charm possible.
"What do you mean, go out?" Mom replied, her face cringing a bit, but I noticed she was also blushing.
"I mean, like us going out, to have some fun. If you're bored and I'm not doing anything, and you want me to go out, well, why don't you go out with me?"
"Um, why don't I go out with you? Because I'm your mother, that's why! What's wrong with you tonight? Are you coming down with a fever?" She reached out to touch my forehead.
"No, I'm fine, mom." I grabbed her hand down from my forehead and held it in mine. "Let's go out on a date, a platonic one, of course. We'll just go out, have a few drinks, have a good time. Who knows, maybe one of us will meet someone and get lucky."
Mom started nervously laughing, shook her head, and rolled her eyes at me.
"What has gotten into you this evening? I am not looking for anyone! I'm married, remember? To your father! But, maybe I will go out with you... on a friendship sort of date. I could use a good night out. It's been a while." She put her other hand on top of the one I was holding and smiled at me.
"So can I get your phone number?" I asked. She pulled her hands away, chuckled, and lightly slapped me on the chest.
"But seriously, tomorrow night, Saturday, what are you doing? Any plans?"
"None at all. I was probably going to be in front of the TV with your dad. Oh wait, no, I think it's Charades night at the Robinsons'... I really don't want to go there..."
"I thought you loved the Robinsons?"
"There's a lot you don't know about me..."
"Oh baby..." I cooed and bobbed my head slowly.
"You're hitting on your mom? What is wrong with you?! I don't know if I should go out with such an ungentlemanly gentleman caller." She crossed her arms again and turned her head away from me.
"I'm just kidding. Come on, give me a chance. I promise I'll conduct myself in the most honorable way possible."
She peered over at me, and gave me that skeptical, one eyebrow raised look.
"Come on, mom. Let me pick you up around 9. I'll promise dad not to bring you home too late."
"Hmm... Okay, I think I'll let you."
She got up and just stood there staring at me, not saying anything.
"What?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders.
"Aren't you going to accompany me to the door? You really are out of practice with women!" She angrily snapped.
This is how my mom always was, a feisty one, slightly overbearing. Growing up I always hated it, because she'd rip into me about almost anything, and still does, but now, with all this talk of going on a date with her, her feistiness all of a sudden turned me on, and I have to say that I'd never really felt this way about her, either, and I must admit, it was exciting.
"Sorry. Very rude of me. Please accept my apologies." I got up and walked with her arm in arm to the doorway.
"Tomorrow evening at 9. Don't stand me up. And please wear something better than those sweatpants. Those are all I've seen you in recently."
"I promise to dress well. We'll go somewhere nice too. It'll be fun."
"I hope so." Mom said. She then moved towards me and kissed me on the cheek, which I can't remember her ever doing before.
"See you then." She said in a sort of breathy voice. As she walked down the hallway to the elevator, for the first time, I took a prolonged look at her ass, which actually filled out those blue jeans she wore pretty damn well.
After I closed the door and sat back down on the couch, I wondered what exactly just happened. I was sort of kidding about going out with her and somehow that turned into us really going out. But not only that, she seemed to be flirting with me before she left. It all happened so quickly, too, but thinking about it started to turn me on. A lot.
This was really the first time I'd thought about my mom in a different, sexual type way. She's a pretty lady, don't get me wrong, but she's no supermodel. Still, she has a pretty face and has always kept in shape over the years. When she was walking down the hallway, her ass really did look good, all tight and round, in those jeans she had on.
All of a sudden I sprouted an erection, pulled my sweatpants down, grabbed some Kleenex from a box nearby, spit in my hand and started furiously masturbating to the thought of bending my mom over my couch, pulling those jeans down off her ass, and fucking her doggystyle.
Since I hadn't jerked off in a few days I came rather quick, and afterwards, I felt guilty about beating off to my mom, but it was also hot, thinking of her like that, especially with her scent still lingering in my apartment.
I pulled up my sweatpants, flushed down the tissue, and went back to watching TV. But I couldn't focus. The only thing I could think about was my mom. I wondered if there was any chance she'd let me do anything with her tomorrow night. Highly unlikely, she's always been sort of a prudish, goody-goody, church going type, and she is, of course, my mom. In all likelihood, we'd probably just go eat and I'd drop her off, but still, the mere thought of it was putting my libido into overdrive.
