The day started as any other...Kathy found herself already exhausted and the day had not even started. Raising her son and daughter on her own had not been easy. Now that that Michael and Maria we older, she found it harder than ever.
Michael is 20. He had inherited his mother's looks but father stature and even at his young age had broad shoulders, was muscular and managed to get the attention of women of all ages. Thank goodness Kathy had managed to keep his attention on his studies and away from girls.
Maria is two years younger at 18. She was petite, pretty, but happily, every much the bookworm her older brother and mom had been. She was dark featured, like her brother, wore glasses and was also about as unaware of boys as could be.
Kathy had been devastated when her husband left them. She was a shy, introverted girl when her charming, attractive and masculine husband came into her life all those years ago. She easily fell under his charm and found herself pregnant and married in no time. She also found herself the wife of a man that seemed to have sex with every woman he met and it did not take long until he disappeared from their lives.
Kathy did everything she could to shield her children from the evils and temptations of the opposite sex. She downplayed every urge, suggestion and discussion of sexuality and was proud at how "square" her children were. She knew it was not exactly the best plan but was confident it would serve them in the long run.
As Kathy prepared to head to work, she checked in on Michael who was still sleeping. Maria was up, having made breakfast for her mother and was cleaning up the kitchen as Kathy headed out. "See you later honey" Kathy yelled as she dashed to her car.
