When Dad arrived, Mom's lips stifled his greeting. When she woman-handled him into their room, he barely managed to drop his briefcase. I don't think he was unhappy about it.
I watched and hoped she would overcome her unconscious fear of getting pregnant by him. I contemplated her problem, trying to use Ms. Nurhea's perspective. What if Mom's arousal at being attacked had gotten mixed up with her intense desire to get pregnant, during a terrible moment when what she really wanted was to escape being raped! Who knows? I actually didn't like thinking about it. I blamed the voice in my head.
Using Dad's work laptop, I watched video lectures and took notes in my workbooks. I really liked this school better than elementary school. Previously I had to listen to a teacher all day and then work at home. Watching lectures was almost like goofing off! Also I could turn up the sound volume until the lecturer drowned out the disgusting sounds emanating from my parents' room.
I went to bed early and managed to sleep by covering my ears with pillows.
A memorable dream played out near dawn. My hard penis had woken in the night, crept off of the couch, and crawled under the bedroom door. It sneaked into my parents' bed and went to sleep in Mom's curled hand, remaining perfectly hard throughout the night. Upon waking, I swore I could smell Mom's sex. I immediately checked to see if I had ejaculated in my bed, but the sheet was dry.
I detached the charging cable from my watch at 7:13 AM. Dad had left for work, and Mom would probably sleep for another hour, maybe longer if they they had played late into the night. I felt sorry for Dad. I worried he wasn't getting enough sleep to handle his grueling work. I got up and used the bathroom.
That room's door to the bedroom tempted me while I washed my hands. Yesterday, Mom had been using her Magic Wand. I had to peek. I opened the door quietly, but she was simply asleep. Some of the covers had shifted in the night. She looked cold. I crept inside, intending to cover her. Whatever force drew me to her also drew me to crawl in under the sheets. I pulled the covers over both of us and lie watching her sleep in her light blue nightgown. My penis got hard again, of course.
My hand reached down and fetched the shaft through the slit in my pajama bottoms. I snuggled closer, until my jutting prong touched her wrist. She must have taken off her rings before going to bed, or I would have felt them when her hand shifted under my penis and curled its fingers around me.
I shivered with pleasure. She merely held it, under the covers. The sensation soothed me, and I must have fallen asleep.
"Billy, are you punishing me again?" Mom's voice woke me. Her hand remained curled around my stiff peter, clenching it slightly.
"No." I yawned. "I just wanted to be with you. I woke early and was bored."
She yawned but remained suspicious. "Did you put your penis in my hand?"
"I didn't." Her hand had curled around it.
"You know I'm having difficulty trusting you these days." She released my happy boner.
"I'm sorry." I shifted away from her.
"I'll choose to believe you meant well." She sat up in bed and stretched out her arms.
"What happened last night with Dad?"
"That's our business." Mom grinned sleepily. "But it was very nice." She wanted more than nice, but she was grateful for nice after their disasters.
"I'm going to see Mrs. Guthrie this afternoon."
"Don't plan anything for Monday afternoon. Yvonne has scheduled our next lesson then. She texted me while you were at Colleen's."
"Oh. Okay." I told her, "On Saturday night, I'm going to play Tickes and Rides with Mrs. Cherkle and Shannon.
"I'm afraid you're going to be a bit lonely this weekend." Mom was referring to her exercises with Dad. She would work her demons until she exorcised them or exhausted him. I didn't mind, as I would be on a picnic with Steve and Trish, tomorrow. I still had to decide where. Maybe that little park.
On Sunday, I would shop for clothes with Tara. I hoped she appreciated the sacrifices that would be required of me, waiting for her to choose, waiting for her to change, telling her how pretty everything made her look. It would be worth, I was sure, but I wasn't keen to do it very often. She might want to go whoring that night, but returning to the billiards parlor was risky after what Shannon had said. I didn't want Tara to get in trouble. If I was going to be a good pimp, I would have to stand up to her occasional recklessness.
Mom grabbed my attention. "If you still want to talk with Nanna and your grandfather, you need to be at home, 5pm sharp!" Mom would sell me to strangers to avoid calling her folks one minute late.
"Okay." I had plenty planned for the weekend, but I would miss spending a full day with Mom. I offered, "Maybe next weekend, if you feel better, can I take you to the zoo or a museum?"
"That sounds like you're inviting me on a date." She meant, without Dad.
I scratched my head. "The next day, I'll take Dad to the other place." I enjoyed his company without Mom, too. Just not in the same way.
"I'll think about it." Mom wouldn't commit, but I knew not to schedule either next Saturday or Sunday until she had. She broke the mood. "We should be getting up and getting ready."
It was the first pleasant morning with her that we had shared for some time. I didn't want it to end. "Hey, Mom. Some of the kids found out about the news video with me and Mrs. Tidden. I don't know what to do about it."
"Cat's out of the bag, Billy." Mom took my hand and shook it. "Even if you catch it, the cat won't let you stuff it back in."
"Huh?"
Mom chuckled. "Here's your chance to discover what the right thing to do is, without taking shit from anybody. Talk can be an awful thing, especially talk that spreads. If you can rise above it, you'll see who truly matters to you and vice versa."
Everyone is cursed with parents. While enduring her opaque lecture, I felt more cursed than most. Maybe a little retaliation would ward off her veiled wisdom. "You got another package on Wednesday. I put in the entry closet. Did you find it? I forgot to tell you."
Mom let go of my hand and blushed. "Thank you for telling me. You didn't hide it out of malice, did you?"
"No. But is Dad right? Do you have a secret admirer?"
"Something like that." She admitted without looking me in the eye.
"Are you going to let him compete to make a baby with you?" I had been dying to ask that question about every man who had aroused Mom, ever since she had mentioned Sperm Competition. I only knew about her playing with Mr. Allister and Mr. Crocle, but I suspected there were others like Mr. Kampold. I happily ignored Mr. Gorgev and Mr. Tidden.
Her blush vanished when she screwed up her face. "Of course not, Billy. I'll promise you that much. Go get the package, and I'll prove it to you." She squeezed my hand. "Just don't start thinking that I'll talk about my private business whenever you ask. I'll let you see what's in the package but no more than that."
Mom released my hand, and I crawled out of my parents' bed to fetch her admirer's gift. When I returned, I sat on the edge of the bed and handed the sealed package and a knife to her.
She cut the label and sealing tape, opened the cardboard box, and from the packing noodles plucked out a smaller plain white box about nine inches long and three inches wide. It was stuffed with cotton.
"This is smaller than the first two gifts." She carefully picked out the cotton balls and revealed a small figurine that resembled Mom, but it was naked. Her admirer had carved it out of a small block of marble and polished every nook of her body. The precision was so fine, it even showed how Mom groomed her pubic hair. "He's obviously an artist." She touched the amazing rendition of her figure, with a delicate finger as if she already treasured it.
"It's beautiful." My love for Mom split two ways. I was super jealous, and I wanted the figurine more than the six hundred or so dollars in the pocket of my pants (wherever I had laid them). "What were the other gifts?" Those boxes were bigger but hadn't been heavy enough to hold statuettes.
"They were similar but different, Billy. This maybe smaller, but the artist worked a lot harder on it." That's all she would say.
"What are you going to do with this one?"
"I'm going to keep it, Billy. It's a gift." She said softly but took a more serious tone. "When I met him, I was very clear about my intentions regarding him. If I should see him again, I'll tell him the same thing. I only have love for my family."
I could feel Mom's love, and it helped to reunite my love for her. I took the boxes to the kitchen, and put it in the recycling bin. Mom probably wanted to get ready for the day. I went to unmake my bed. When she appeared from the bedroom, showered and dressed, I surprised her with a hot breakfast. She smirked, "Is this to let you get to school early again?"
"No." I stuck out my tongue. "Are you going to be with Jude all day again?"
She finished a bite of scrambled eggs. "His father and I arranged it officially, but only while I'm not working for Meals on Heels." She kneed my thigh. "I can put a stop to it if you want."
"Isn't Jude helping you fight your condition?"
My question amused her. "You're the one giving me to him." She glanced down at her full chest then smirked at me. "Well, part of me. He confessed, the first day, that you gave him permission to play with these. Jude's seven. You expect him to keep secrets from his pretend mommy?"
Her revelation about her artist admirer prompted me to pry. "Are you doing anything, um, more with him?"
She got miffed. "If I asked you the same question about Principal Agincourt, what would you say?"
I recoiled from Mom, blurting, "We haven't- That's my private busi-" Oh. I pursed my lips to one side of my face.
"The answer is, 'No.'" Mom answered. "Jude has no interest in sex."
I refrained from relating Jude's story about playing doctor with a girl named Ginger, but they could have just be body curious. I sure had been at his age, and Mom let me see everything. Dad wasn't present, but they answered all my questions arising from her private display.
I did leave early for school but not by much. I mostly wanted to escape Jude. As I was organizing my backpack, I couldn't stop thinking about the naked statue of Mom. Not only did it capture her beauty, something about it WAS her.
I shuffled up to the door. Mom called to me, interrupting my complex emotions about the gift. "Not like that." She beckoned with a wave. I assumed she wanted a hug and hurried to her. We embraced, but then I felt her hand on my crotch. My hard penis was tenting my pants. She adjusted its angle with her hand and then patted it. "Better."
I blushed. By the time I arrived at Lilith Middle School, plenty of other students milled around outside. I ducked behind the bus stop across the street until the harp sounded. I waited unti I could enter Mr. Glouvert's History class, last. A few whispers erupted but not as many as I had feared. They were swept away by our teacher's passionate summary of the early Civil War battles which nearly defeated the Union states. Then our workbooks consumed us.
Similar reactions sprang up in Science and Math, but nobody accosted me, except Ms. Hennifer. When she stopped by to review my work, her hand gripped my shoulder like a hot vice, a trembling, hot vice. She let go after glancing at the problems I'd solved "Sorry," she whispered and sprang away.
At lunch, the dam broke. Three kids wanted to know if I was the guy on TV who had given away a million dollars. Their clamor attracted six more. I told them they didn't know what they were talking about.
"You sound like him!" One accused. Five more kids surrounded me. They forced me to back up against a wall. I tried to spider climb it but only managed to step on a stray chair in the hall. Before me, two dozen had gathered, all harping about what a fool I was.
"What does it matter, CHILDREN?" Darrin, my Art and Music teacher appeared. "The only thing bullying will accomplish is to ensure he never gives any money to you!" He stood there, his demure figure somehow magnificent at that moment.
Grumbling, followed by a slow exodus, freed me from my perch. Even a teacher of slight stature was a teacher, and the children moved along.
"That must have been rough." He approached and helped me down from the chair. Suddenly, I was hugging him! I didn't say anything, but as soon as I realized what I'd done, I lurched away. "Sorry."
He smiled, but cleared his throat. "There'll be more harassers like them, but it'll pass. Don't forget the information I gave you. If I can help, contact me." He backed away from me and headed to the faculty room. "I will do what I can."
I remained standing next to the chair in the hall, a little stunned. Why did Darrin have breasts? They were small, but so were Shannon's and Mrs. Cherkle's with which I was intimately familiar. I totally believed that I had felt the teacher's curves and cleavage against my chest when I hugged him. I barely remembered to eat.
I watched and hoped she would overcome her unconscious fear of getting pregnant by him. I contemplated her problem, trying to use Ms. Nurhea's perspective. What if Mom's arousal at being attacked had gotten mixed up with her intense desire to get pregnant, during a terrible moment when what she really wanted was to escape being raped! Who knows? I actually didn't like thinking about it. I blamed the voice in my head.
