SMACK. The sharp sting of my mother's slap hit me with force across my right cheek. Leaving it bright red, the force from it made me fall back onto the settee stunned. Both I and James just sat there daunted. Half of us wanted to move, the other half frozen not daring to move.
"YOU DIRTY LITTLE BITCH!" mother screamed at us. Her face flushed red.
"HOW FUCKING DARE YOU JAMES!" she bellowed with anger in her eyes.
"Cathy I'm sorry, I really didn't mean, I mean, I..." James buried his face in his hands trying to hide his shame.
My mother had come home early from work. She had caught us in the living room on the settee scrambling together and trying to hide what had just happened. We had just finished our amazing fuck when we had heard her come back. James was fully naked when she had come around the living room door. He hadn't had time to even grab the towel he had wrapped around him earlier that evening. I know she would have to find out sooner or later, but I was hoping it would have been after she had told James about her affair. She had walked in the room and immediately knew what had just happened. The smell of sex still lingered in the air.
My Mother is a 41 year old version of me. She also had long red hair dark blue eyes the same small nose and soft spongy lips. She was slightly more voluptuous than me. And her breasts although larger were still perky and firm. Another sharp slap hit me across the other side of my face and I just sat there sobbing. Mother was trembling with anger and James sat there not doing anything. Just sitting there, not even sticking up for me. I went to get up and mother just pushed me back down.
"You're not going anywhere you little slut." Cathy's voice was harsh, and trembled like her body.
I just sat still looking at the floor feeling deeply ashamed. James still had his face in his hands trying hard not to look up at either of us. A flood of cold hit my body that made me shiver, like the feeling you when someone steps on your grave well that's the saying my mother always said. My mother lit up one of her menthol cigarettes swirls of smoke floated around her tear soaked face as she paced up and down in front of us. I wanted to move, leave the room, pack a bag, run away. But mother just kept on pacing up and down in front of us. At last James spoke out.
"I'm sorry Cathy, I'm really sorry. It won't happen again, I love you." James pleaded.
"Too late James, you are tainted. You are both tainted." Cathy exclaimed.
"James that's my fucking daughter you have violated." She turned her back on us. I could see she was breathing in deep trying not to cry.
"Cathy I'm sorry, we can sort this out." James cried out.
"No James. We can't, I'm done with you anyway." Mother walked quickly across the other side of the room and sat down to put out her cigarette.
"What do you mean we are done." James voice hardened, he sat up straight beside me looking lost.
Mother sat there laughing, a dark laugh, almost insane, and pulled out her phone ignoring what James had just said to her. She typed quickly on the key pad her fake nails clicking and tapping on the screen. An evil smile appeared across her freckled face lines gathered around her eyes and lips. She looked up at both of us when she had finished it almost looked as though she was looking straight through us.
"Do you like to fuck my daughter James?" The smile had vanished. Now and She just stared at both of us.
"NO! Of course I don't." James shot back, trying not to make it obvious that he did enjoy fucking me.
Mother just looked him up and down in disgust staying statue like in her chair. Her phone buzzed, she picked it up to read it. She laughed that same evil laugh to herself and then began tapping away again ignoring us both like she did before, who the hell was she texting? For someone so angry she kept losing her focus on what was currently happening.
"You will soon see James. You will soon see why we are done." A tone of sarcasm rose in her voice and she shifted her position in the chair.
There was a lengthy silence. You could hear the clock ticking in the back ground, mother's phone going off, and then she would tap away quickly. I could hear James breathing deeply next to me. I tried hard not to look in his direction I really didn't want to speak to him. But I could feel him looking at me as if to get my attention, what possibly could he say to me in front of my mother anyway? We had only fucked twice and on the second time we had gotten caught. He didn't plead for us or tell my mother I was the one he wanted. He had been using me and I felt like such an idiot. The silence broke as mother arose from her chair the sound of her shoes on the floor and her clothes ruffling against her skin as she walked across towards the door.
"A visitor will becoming shortly, DON'T MOVE!" her voice raised as she left the room.
"I'm sorry Clare." James whispered to me. There was true sentimentality in his voice.
I just looked at him. I couldn't even reply back to him. he had hurt me for not sticking up for us, plus I had really hurt my mother, this forced me to realise the big mistake I had made fucking James, when I had heard mother on the phone about her affair I didn't think she would care if I ended up being with James, after all I would be taking him off her hands.
"Right James your bags are in the hall." Mother shot James a dirty look. He looked up at her astonished.
"Cathy we can sort this, it doesn't have to end this way, I made a big mistake I realise that now." James pleaded with my mother, I thought begging was beneath James, I guess I was wrong.
"But before you go." mother just ignored his plea.
