"Honey, let's go," my dad yelled from his bedroom. "We're already an hour late." I was sitting in my own bedroom at the time. My parents were getting ready to go out to a company Halloween party, hosted by my dad's boss. His boss was wealthy and had a huge house... and they loved to entertain to show it off.
"I just need fifteen more minutes, ok?" my mom, Ashley, said from the bathroom. She was obviously putting on her makeup and getting dressed in her costume. My dad came out of the room dressed in his pirate costume.
"Dylan, how's the job search going?" he asked. I graduated from college a year and a half ago and was half-heartedly looking for a job. I just didn't want to join real life right now.
"Well... I haven't got called back for an interview yet," I said.
"Look, son, you're a god-damned mess," he said, starting into another one of his speeches. "You need to get a job. No one's ever going to marry a twenty-five-year-old boy who's never had a job in his life, who practically hangs out with his mom all day and night. I don't know what I'm gonna do with you, ok? You need to get out there and get a job. Experience the world."
"I know, I know," I protested. I'd been hanging around a lot with my mom ever since I graduated. I was able to help her do things around the house like cleaning, yardwork... I felt useful.
"Look," he said, shaking his head. He just didn't understand me. "We're going to a party at my boss' house tonight. You know Karl Sampson right? My boss?"
I nodded. I remembered meeting him once.
"Well... you're going, too. Now, I'm going to introduce you to him and you're gonna keep your mouth shut. And I'm going to tell him you're a wonderfully fine young man, and that you have IQ of 140, and we're going to get you a decent job."
I stood there in shock. I was going to go to the party and be introduced to his boss? I didn't know if I could pull that off. This was the first time I'd ever even been invited to a party like this.
"Ok?" he asked. "There's a lot of young, college women who work there, too. And you know Karl, he's old school. He's has a lot of beautiful, young women working in his office with pencil skirts and blouses with open cleavage. It's open season over there." He looked at me to judge whether I could do this. I guess I didn't look interested enough in the description of the women. "Don't act like you don't like tits, boy. I see you salivating all over the pictures on the Internet."
I was a little shocked that my dad noticed that about me. I thought I'd been so careful.
"I'm almost ready... but..." mom said from the bathroom.
"Look," he said. "You're going to go to this party. We're going to find Karl. You're going to walk up to him. You're going to introduce yourself as my son and can you please have a job, sir. You're also going to help keep an eye on your mother. I'm concerned some drunk guy is going to paw at her. And I bet I'll get pulled away from her at some point. Understand? Can you handle that? One, get a job, and two, watch your mom. And I'll even give you $100."
"Yes, sir," I said. I was useless to protest. And... I'll get a little spending money and maybe I'd get a job out of the deal, too.
My dad walked over to his closet and pulled out a package with a Halloween costume in it. He handed it to me and I quickly saw that it was a Zorro costume.
"Now you have a costume, too. Don't fuck it up."
My mom walked into the room from the bathroom. She had a towel wrapped around her, covering up her costume. It looked like some kind of genie costume, with lots of see-through material.
"Why are you wearing a towel?" my dad said, confused. My mom looked embarrassed and definitely didn't seem to want to argue with my dad with me standing there. "Why are you covering up your costume? I bought you that on purpose."
"Oh, you mean the lingerie. I can't wear this to your work party," she argued, sounding rather snarky.
"Why? Why not?"
"Is it really that skimpy?" I asked.
"Of course it's not," Dad said. "She's just being modest as usual. Come on," he said, pulling at the edge of the towel to get her to remove it
"I can't," she said. "Not in front of Dylan. It's embarrassing."
"What do you mean?" he asked, raising his voice a little. "I chose the perfect costume for you. You are going to be scorching hot in that outfit. You're going to be the star of the whole party." He pulled at the towel again, urging her to take it off. "Come on... show me."
She shook her head, a bit disgusted, but unwrapped and tossed the towel aside. It was an incredible costume, especially on her body. Most of the costume was see-through, except for the tiny, bikini-like parts covering her breasts and mons. I felt myself getting excited seeing her in it. I rarely was around when she wore her bathing suit and this was so very close to it. Her body was incredible, with large breasts and a nice waist. She often complained about gaining weight, but I think she gained it in all the right places!
"Huh? Am I right?" my dad asked me, stating that he was so right. "Tell your mom how hot she looks." My mom looked so very embarrassed trying to cover up as much as she could. "Come on... do a little twirl for us."
My mom slowly turned around, showing us all of the angles. Seeing her ass was... well, it was something I will never forget.
"David," she complained. "It covers barely more than my bikini does. I'm sure the other women there aren't going to be showing up in swimwear."
"Look," he said, trying with all his might to defend his position and assuage her fears. "All the women at the party are going to be green with envy. And the guys? I'll tell you, one look at you... I'm going to be the proudest guy in the company. And if Karl notices you, I'll be getting a really good bonus this year."
"Come on, Dylan can't even look at me," she said, sweeping hre hand up at me. "It's embarrassing."
"That's 'cause the kid's got a hard on," dad said, pointing his hands at my crotch.
Both my mom and I looked shocked that he would even say such a thing. He was right, of course, but did he have to even mention it? God, I turned beet red. "I have no intention of turning anyone on, David. I want to be sophisticated and cool. Not slutty."
"What's wrong with a slutty costume?" he asked. "Halloween is like the one time of year you can dress slutty and not be judged for it. Besides... this is a great way to persuade Mr. Sampson to give me that raise."
"Of course," she said as if now she understood the whole thing. "How else will I seduce your boss."
"I didn't say seduce," he said. "Just... help persuade. Besides, don't you want to look good?"
"So now my role is to play the mindless bimbo wife, right? Who's to gush about you with my T and A on display." My mom looked unhappy and not about to back down.
My dad just raised his hands. He knew it wasn't worth arguing over any longer. They just needed to leave and get it over with. "Just... can we go?"
My mom raised her hands, feeling all her complaints falling on deaf ears. She walked out and down the stairs to grab her coat from the closet.
"Listen," my dad said, taking my shoulders in his hands. "The address is on the refrigerator. Be there in an hour."
"Ok, ok," I said. And with that he walked out and down the stairs. I heard the door shut and their car leave within a minute, leaving me alone in the house.
I went downstairs and went into the bathroom to change into my costume. As I looked in the mirror, I realized that I really didn't have much confidence to talk to someone like my dad wanted.
"Hi, I'm David's son..." I said, looking at myself, but stopped and shook my head. My voice sounded weak. There was no way anyone would hire me if I was that non-confident. I cleared my throat to try again. The next one I thought was said in what I thought sounded like a strong voice. Yeah... maybe I could do this. The third attempt sounded like the voice I needed. I nodded, a little proud of myself.
I got undressed and put on the Zorro costume. I remembered this one. My dad had worn it last year, the year my mom went as a cheerleader. The pants were made from some very thin material that looked pretty cheap. It seemed like I could see every bump in my body underneath. I still had a hard on from seeing my mom and definitely was a little worried that would be far too noticeable. The shirt was very loose fitting, like a polo, with several buttons at the top. And then there was a black cloth that would drape over my head, with eyeholes in the front, for a mask, a hat, and a belt with a long, plastic sword.
