The next day was Monday and mum went back to work. Meanwhile, I failed to make any progress with Christine, which was driving me nuts. My only source of comfort is that my mum seems to have stopped seeing Tommy as well. When my mum got back yesterday from her “date,” I bombarded Tommy with questions and he swears that nothing happened. Apparently they just “talked.” I’m not sure how reliable his claims were.
Over the next two days, it was just mum and me. We spent some time catching up. I told her tales from my uni and she made my favorite dishes for dinner. We watched movies at night and went to bed early. For a while there, things seemed to have returned to normal. My mum was like her regular doting self again and the events of the past few days were like a distant dream.
Of course, I was still messaging Christine and she was still ignoring me but she hadn’t yet blocked me so I take it as a good sign.
On Wednesday night however, I noticed mum was texting on her phone a lot. My first thought was it was about work. However, after dinner she didn’t join me to watch TV. Instead, she sat at the dining table with her phone. I decided to leave her to her work and head up to my room to watch porn.
Mum hardly noticed me passing by on the way upstairs but I noticed she was blushing. It set off alarm bells in my head.
In my room, I went through the motions jacking myself off to sleep but my thoughts kept wandering either to Christine or my mum. Finally, I gave up and tried to sleep. The hours ticked by while I tossed and turned in the darkness. Eventually I started feeling hungry again. Cursing to myself, I sat up and checked the time on my phone. It was 1 am.
I came out of my room and headed downstairs to raid the fridge. When I flipped the light switch on, the first thing my eyes landed on was mum’s phone on the dining table.
Mum is quite an organized person. Her phone, bag, and keys and paperwork would be laid out in a row at the far corner of the dining table ready to be picked up on the go every morning. Tonight was no different.
My hunger forgotten, I went for her phone. It was locked of course. I stared at the lockscreen, pondering the possiblilities before entering the 6 digit pin of our home’s security system.
It worked. Mum’s phone was unlocked.
I quickly checked their messages. Unlike me with Christine, Tommy has not been pestering my mum at all. At least not for the last two days since he claimed he and mum went out to “talk.” He only contacted her earlier in the evening at 5.13pm about the time mum and I were having dinner.
I eagerly read through their exchange.
Tommy: Melissa, have you given it any thought?
Mum: I’m still undecided.
Tommy: Penny for your thoughts?
Mum: I’m just confused right now.
Tommy: About what?
Mum: About my own actions.
Tommy: Don’t blame it all on yourself. It was partly my fault.
Mum: But I should have known better. I’m the adult.
Tommy: You’re a woman and a beautiful and sensual one at that. What we did was natural.
Mum: I just need time to process this.
Tommy: I think you should accept my offer.
Mum: That’s a bad idea Tommy. I’m a married woman. You’re friends with my son for God sakes. And what you’re suggesting. It’s too much.
Tommy: Is it? Did you not enjoy our night together?
Mum didn’t reply. Tommy continued.
Tommy: You loved it Melissa. You loved the way I made you feel. I know you did.
Mum: I just didn’t expect sex can be like that.
Tommy: It can be so much more. I can show you.
Mum: I can’t betray my family again.
Tommy: But you would betray yourself? What you knew about sex is a lie Melissa. I showed you just a tiny glimpse of the truth. You owe it to yourself to discover it all.
It kind of went back and forth like this for a while. I was like, what the fuck? Are they having a philosophical discussion?
I scrolled down the chat until near the end and resumed reading.
Mum: Why must it be like this?
Tommy: Trust me. I’ve seen your true side. I know what I’m doing. In any case I won’t go through with it unless you agree with all of my terms.
Mum: I need more time to think about it.
Tommy: Let me know before midnight. I don’t want to waste any more time on this than necessary.
I couldn’t believe what I was reading. What an arrogant prick. I noted the time stamps. Mum replied at around 10pm.
Mum: Okay. I accept.
Tommy: Good. Do you swear to submit yourself completely to me for thorough training?
Mum: Yes.
Tommy: Will you accept my every word as your command and my every decision as law?
Mum: Yes.
Tommy: Yes what?
Mum: Yes master.
