The summer had come to an end and I was in my final preparations for going to University, and I was excited to go and had my car packed up already. Finally I thought to myself as I had taken 4 years out of education to both work and travel a little. Having worked so hard in school to achieve the best grades I could, the break away from education was needed.
My name is Rowan and I recently celebrated my 22nd birthday, I am just your average looking guy. At about 5'10" and weighing around 90Kg, having played rugby and doing a lot of cycling in my youth, I still have a good physique even with a bit of a belly. I had been sporting a beard and long hair, inspired by the show called Sons of Anarchy but now am clean shaven and my hair is a lot neater.
Growing up, I was never the popular guy even though I did well on the rugby pitch but never really had the looks that the typical girls sought. I focused on studying and enjoyed my hobby of video gaming, probably having all the consoles out there and now a high power PC and a tablet laptop. Back to girls, I have only had one girlfriend and that relationship lasted all of 7 months and we hadn't really covered much area in the bedroom side of things.
All that aside, I was a happy albeit shy guy and was about to start the next phase of my life journey. I had secured a place in one of the countries top Universities and even luckier that my Fathers elder sister was a Professor of English there, and she had agreed to provide me with a roof over my head. She had sent me a letter that arrived a few days ago to explain some ground rules and to tell me that she was looking forward to having a housemate. It had been over 2 years since I last saw her in person, just before the country went into lockdown with Covid.
"Ro?" Hearing my Mother call up the stairs to me. "Rowan?"
"Coming down now Mum!" I glanced around my bedroom and was satisfied that I had everything, picking up my rucksack and slinging it over my shoulder and then grabbing the holdall by my feet.
I turned the light out and closed the door of my bedroom behind me as I made my way downstairs, my mother watching me with a smile on her face but with sadness in her eyes. I smiled at her and placed my bags down in the hall by the front door.
"All set dear?" She held her arms out and walked towards me, wrapping my arms around her waist as we embraced each other. "I can't believe you are finally going!"
"I will still come back and see you guys every now and then!" I held her firmly against my body, her warmth enveloped me and brought tears to my eyes. I sniffed.
"Oh, don't you start!" She spoke into my ear. "You will set me off too!"
My father walked into the hallway and then towards my mother and I, he put his arms around the both of us and squeezed. He was smiling.
"Hey Kiddo! Got everything you need?" He asked.
"I believe I have! Why do you look so happy?" I asked jokingly.
"Well, it is not everyday that your only child finally leaves the nest!" He emphasised the word 'finally' "I will be able to walk around the house naked again!"
"JIM!!" My mother almost jumped into the air, she turned and slapped my father on the shoulder. "Not in front of Ro!
He had pinched her arse, she had pressed her crotch into mine as she was startled by the action. I would be lying if I said that I hadn't felt slightly aroused by such an innocent thing. She was a beautiful woman but I never looked at her that way nor fantasised about her, she was my mother after all.
"You two need to get a room!" I said and then felt my mother slap me on the shoulder too.
"Rowan!" She smiled at me, her eyes glistening.
"The sooner you go Son, the sooner I can have a tumble with this gorgeous woman!" He tickled my mother just above the hips, she ran off giggling and stopped by the kitchen door.
"Jim enough already!"
"Come on then Son, let's get you on your way!" He picked up my holdall and opened the front door, I followed and then my mother came out after me with her arms wrapped around herself.
After the last of my bags were loaded, I turned to them both and sighed with a smile on my face before embracing them once more.
"Drive safe okay, Kiddo!" My father said with a stern expression on his face.
"And phone us when you get there!" My mother added.
"I will!" Walking to my open door, looking back at them both, "I love you guys!"
"Love you too!" They both replied in unison, holding each other with arms around their backs.
Climbing into my car, I smiled at them as I closed the door and fired up the engine. Putting it in gear and pulled off slowly and drove to the entrance of the driveway, looking in the rear view mirror I could see my mother bury her face into my father's chest. I swallowed the lump in my throat and pulled out onto the road and tooted my horn several times. Wiping my eyes, I turned my music up and began my 3 hour drive to my aunt's house.
