Mother 37, son 20

"Hi, I'm Chris." I told the girl sitting across from me. She really did not look like she was interested in me.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Does it really matter. I am not interested in you and I am not going to give you, my number." she said with venom in her voice.
"Hey look I am just trying to be nice. This is my first time doing this." I said looking at her. The truth was I really was not interested in her either. She was too chunky for my taste. But for some reason she must have thought she was the best-looking thing in the room. Far from it.
"Well good for you. I only came because my girlfriend wanted to see what it was like to do this kind of thing." she said being the arrogant bitch that she was.
"Okay, let's just sit here for the next few minutes." I said turning to look around.
"That was what I was planning to do creep." she said again with more venom in her voice. That was it, I was pissed now and there are rules to speed dating. They were explained to us at the start of the game.
Yes, speed dating is considered a game. My friend has done it a few times and said he got lucky a few times. Of course, he dragged me with him tonight. Truth is it was fun up until I met this bitch. Most of the other woman were having fun. Several of the women even asked me why I was at this thing.
Okay, so here are the rules.
You are not allowed to use your full name. Like first and last name.
You are not allowed to give out your address to anyone.
You are not allowed to touch the other person.
If you do not like someone. Just tell them you are not interested.
Do not disrespect anyone or you will be asked to leave. If you are disrespected you are asked to raise your hand and the person will be removed.
There were more rules than that but I was at the one rule that suited me for the moment. I raised my hand and caught the attention of one of the organizers.
"What's the problem?" the woman asked.
"This woman just called me a creep." I told her.
"Is this true Karen?" the woman asked.
"You know damn well he is right so why ask." She said looking at the woman with glaring eyes.
"Well, it is time for you to leave. You have been warned. I will get Carry and you will not be welcomed back." the woman said. Then led Karen away.
I had to wait another five minutes before the next person would move to my table. In the meantime, the waiter came over and took a drink order from me. I ordered a strong Captain coke. He returned with my drink before the next woman arrived.
When the woman walked up to the table, I knew who she was right away. She was my mom's best friend Sherl Conners. She was supposed to be going out with my mom tonight.
"What are you doing here?" I asked Sherl.
"Your mom wanted to do something fun. So, I suggested we try this out. She thought it would be a clever idea and thought it would be fun." Sherl said with a smile on her face. "Now what is a handsome young stud like you doing here?"
"I am here with my buddy Jerry." I told Sherl.
"Oh, he gave me his number. Aw yes, I remember him. He is the cute little red headed boy, isn't he?" Sherl asked. I laughed then told her.
"He is not little. If you know what I mean"
"Oh." was all Sherl said with a smile on her face. I guess it does not matter that he is fifteen years younger than Sherl.
If I knew Jerry, he would be calling Sherl and Sherl would be finding out just how big that little boy is.
"You don't need to give me your number. I already have it." She said with a laugh.
"Sherl what would my mother say?" I laughed with her.
Sherl is a wonderful woman but she has nothing on my mom. I have always wondered why my mother never dated. At thirty-seven years old mom still has it going on.
"Your mother would never need to know." Sherl smiled with a naughty grin. "I have seen what you have in those pants and you have nothing to worry about satisfying a woman like me."
"When have you ever seen what I have in my pants? Sherl." I asked.
"Oh, Chris. When you were on the swim team. Those speedos you wore usually left nothing to the imagination. And boy you are hot to look at. If you would have been a little older back then I would have jumped your bones.
Thankfully, the waiter came around and brought me another drink and Sherl another glass of wine. We sat and chatted a little longer before she had to move on.
I talked to a few more women before I finally saw my mom heading my direction. I saw her smile as she approached the table.
"I know you." she said as she sat across from me.
"I know you too. If I knew you were going to be here tonight. I would have rode over here with you."
"Well how would you like to go home with me tonight."
"Oh, are you inviting me to your place. Miss. Jones?" I said flirting with my own mother.
"Yes, I am I think I need a hot young stud to be with me tonight." she said in her own flirty little laugh.
Just as I was going to say something the waiter came over with another drink and told us it was last call; I ordered two more drinks and mom order two white wines. We sat and flirted with each other as we drank our drinks until the speed dating was over.
I watched as Jerry got up and left with Sherl. I smiled and was about to laugh when I realized Jerry was my ride home. I then thought mom had been left behind too.
"Mom, I hope Sherl wasn't your ride? Because she just left with someone." I told her. I did not tell her that she left with my ride.
"Nah, it is okay. We agreed to drive in separate cars. I was afraid she would meet someone and forget about me." mom said laughing.
I wanted to ask mom for a ride back to my apartment but I needed to produce a way to ask her without sounding needy. Thankfully, I did not have to produce an excuse. My phone rang and I answered it.
"Oh, hey Jerry. What!! You told me you would give me a ride home." I tried to sound angry. He knew I really was not angry at him because we talked about it before hand. I planned to get a taxi to get home. But since mom was there, I knew I could get a ride from her. "Don't worry I will find a ride." I said looking over at mom. I then hung up.
"It looks like I do get to take a hot stud home tonight." mom said flirting with me with a smile on her face.
"Hey, I get to get a ride from a beautiful woman." I said smiling at my mom.
I was feeling no pain after all the drinks I had and mom was looking good in her tight red dress. I was really going home with a beautiful woman. Even though it was my own mother. It was still early and mom wanted to still have some fun. So, she suggested we stop and pick up some more wine.
While we were picking up wine, I grabbed some Captain Morgan and a bottle of Crown apple for shots. The Crown was for me, I knew I would need to have a few shots after the speed dating. It was nice to be with mom.
Once we finished shopping mom asked me If I were done for the night or if I would like to stop at a night club and get a few drinks. I thought it would be fun, so I agreed to stop.
The club was full we had to wait in line just to get in the club. Inside it was even worse, there were line three people deep. Mom found us a table and by the time I got our drinks, mom was surrounded by men.
"There he is! Over here honey." mom called out while waving at me. I could see that she was in trouble. Three good looking guys were trying to get her out on the dance floor. But I do not think mom was interested in any of them.
As I got closer mom rushed to me. My hands were full but she still engulfed me in a hug. Then whispered in my ear.
"Pretend you're my boyfriend." she said. Then she kissed me on the cheek. At first, I was a little shocked at what she asked me to do. Then I thought what, these guys were surrounding her like she was a dog in heat.
"I got you your wine dear." I said as mom backed away and took the glass from my hand and took me back to the table. The guys looked a little defeated. We sat and watched the crowd of people moving around us. Then the band began to play a song my mom liked. She looked at me with a smile on her face.
I knew what she wanted. It is a good thing I was feeling the drinks and I got up to dance with her. Mom taught me how to dance when I was younger. Mom taught dance classes after graduating college and bought a dance studio which she still owns.
