Chapter 7
"Of course, we have the inflatable mattress that we'll put on the floor in your room so it's not like you two will have to share a bed," Mom explained. "Well, that would be a little weird at your age, wouldn't it?" Turning to Gen, she added, "don't worry, honey, it's real comfortable, just like sleeping in your own bed."
"I'm sure I'll be real comfortable," Gen said with a sarcastic tone of voice that was intended for Mom, I saw the sparkle in her eye. It was obvious, at least to me, that Gen was as excited about this as I was.
"Does Dad know about this?" I asked as if I thought this might actually be a stumbling block to Mom's plan. However, I was sure that Mom wouldn't make such plans without discussing it first with Dad.
"Of course he knows, honey. We don't make decisions like this without consulting each other. In fact, it was your Dad who suggested that Gen sleep in your room so Laura could have a bedroom to herself."
"He's out of town all week. When did you talk to him?" I didn't want to give the impression that I was too happy about this plan.
"We talked on the phone last night, just like every other night when he's out of town. That's what married people do when they love each other." Mom delivered that last sentence as if it was the conclusion of a dissertation on marriage.
Changing my tone of voice to sound more accepting of the plan, I asked "so, when exactly is it that Laura will be arriving?"
"I'm not sure. She was on the internet checking flight schedules and didn't have anything final yet but she was hoping to arrive on Sunday."
"You didn't say anything about Larry. Is he coming, too, or is it just Laura?" Laura and Larry had been married since before I was born and I had never seen one without the other.
"Well, that's the bad part. It seems that Larry and Laura aren't getting along very well and they're thinking about a divorce, so Laura is coming here to get away from Larry and have some time to think about things." Mom's face made it apparent that she was upset by this turn of events.
"Wow, what a bummer," I said with sincere concern. I liked Laura but I also liked Larry.
"Yes," Mom said, "you can never count on your friends to be with you your whole life and even spouses sometimes come and go. The only people who you can count on to be with you your whole life are your blood relatives, so that's why family is so important. And that's why I'm glad that you two are so close."
I couldn't resist the opportunity to respond with a sly double entendre. "Yeah, Mom, Gen and I both know that. That's why we've spent so much time trying to keep close to each other."
Gen was positioned so that Mom couldn't see her face, so she felt free to give me a scowl as if to say "why do you have to take a chance and tease her with this?" And, of course, Gen was probably right. I shouldn't have made that comment.
Chapter 8
Unfortunately, Gen had a summer band camp that she had to attend on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9 A.M. to 4 P.M. By the time Gen got home every day, Mom was due home in another 15 minutes, so we didn't have any more opportunities that week to enjoy another mutual masturbation session. We did have plenty of opportunities to talk at night. Gen was hanging out in my room every night, sort of getting ready for living in there for a week.
On Thursday night, Gen was laying on my bed while I was sitting at the computer desk playing games. "So, are you excited about us sharing a room again?" Gen asked.
I stood up and walked to my bedroom door, looking out into the hallway to make sure Mom was not within hearing distance. I then returned to my seat and turned so that I faced her. "Gen," I said in a hushed tone, "it's been three days since I saw you naked and watched you cum. I haven't jacked off since then 'cause I'm saving it up for when you're sleeping in here. So I'm pretty much walking around with a perpetual boner thinking about you. Does that answer the question?"
Matching my drama, Gen walked got up and walked over to me, leaning down to place her lips against my ear. "Al, sweetie, the second you mentioned your boner, my panties got so wet that I need to go change them. I can hardly wait."
It suddenly occurred to me that we might not need to wait. "Hey, I've got an idea to see if we can spend the night together tonight, if you're up for it," I told Gen. I quickly explained my idea and sent Gen to talk to Mom in private.
* * *
"Mom," Gen said. "You know, a lot of guys snore in their sleep and that would drive me nuts. It's been a long time since Al and I shared a room and I'm really not sure that would work for a week. You know, I could ask Shelley if I could spend the week with her family. They're going to their lake house . . ."
Mom immediately jumped in to try to squelch this idea. "Oh, no, honey, your Aunt Laura would be so disappointed if you weren't here for the week."
"But, Mom, I don't want to wait until Sunday night to find out that Al snores like a pig or its just too weird sleeping in the same room with him. You know, it has been a long time since we shared a room and it might not be the same. And, if it is a problem, I don't want to be discussing it with Laura around. No need to make her feel bad about me getting kicked out of my room." Gen sounded rather convincing with her arguments.
"Well, I'll tell you what," Mom began. "Why don't you try sleeping in Al's room tonight and we'll see how it works. If he snores like a pig -- and, by the way, I don't remember ever giving birth to a pig -- but if he does snore like a pig, then you can't get up in the middle of the night and go back to your bedroom and we'll try to work on plan B tomorrow. Is it a deal?"
"I guess so," Gen replied, trying not to sound too enthused.
"Al!" Mom yelled for me. She didn't sound like a drill sergeant but her tone of voice left no room for doubt; I needed to respond immediately.
I found Mom and Gen in the family room, sitting on the sofa. As soon as Mom saw me, she started.
"Al, your sister is worried that you might snore -- 'like a pig' was her words - or sharing the bedroom with you might be too weird, and if there's a problem, I don't want to have to deal with it in front of Laura. I don't want to make her feel like she's inconveniencing us. So, instead of waiting 'til Sunday night, I want Gen to sleep in your room tonight to see if that's gonna work out okay. So, I want you to get the inflatable mattress and set it up on the floor in your room and Gentry can sleep in there tonight. That's okay with you, isn't it?" I clearly wouldn't have had a choice in the matter but I was secretly delighted that my plan had worked so well.
