JENNA
I got home a little earlier than expected to what appeared to be an empty house. When I called out Cate and Jake's names it took a bit before finally Jake answered that he would be down shortly. Something felt odd but it had been a long day so I sat down on the couch and took my heels off to relax.
It was nice to be home. Nicer to finally have both my kids home together, just the three of us. I closed my eyes and started to wonder what my life was going to be like in less than three months. The thought unnerved me to no end. I was already pushing back tears of sadness on a daily basis. A sadness that was now becoming an all too familiar ache within. I hadn't realized just how much of me I had invested in my kids and our family. Especially Jake. Or maybe I just loved being a mother to my children so much that it was never an investment from my standpoint.
Jake was always a momma's boy. Kind, caring, considerate, and loving. Almost naive in his view towards everyone. I always worried about him and took great care to protect him from getting hurt. I can't believe what a handsome young man he had turned into. He definitely could be a heartbreaker if he were not such a kind and caring young man. Whoever captured his heart was going to get themselves one heck of a husband.
Cate on the other hand reminded me so much of myself and I'm not referring to her looks. She was always an independent soul. Fearless and relentless. She fended for herself most of her young life. She excelled in academics and was well liked by her peers. More importantly she always prioritized her family, our family. What I loved about Cate was her commonality. She was blessed with extremely good looks. She had been a cheerleader, prom queen, and very popular. Easy for someone like that to get a big head but she never did. She was friends with everyone and more importantly made time for everyone.
They had both grown up into two beautiful, kind, and loving children and now in less than three months they would both be off to college leaving me to fend for myself. The boredom and monotony of that situation frightened me. I wasn't sure I would be able to cope with the loneliness let alone all the new found available time. I promised myself to make sure that the kids would not sense anything wrong with me. I didn't want them to worry about me. I wanted them both to enjoy their college experience.
I heard footsteps and looked up to see Jake bounding down the stairs. He came over and gave me a kiss on the cheek before asking me if I had gone out with the girls. I looked at him kind of strangely. First all he was only wearing were a pair of gym shorts. Second of all it was already 7:00. I am thinking something isn't right here. I chose to ignore my instincts and played along.
I eventually found out that both he and his sister fell asleep but as he was quick to point out in their own bedrooms. I guess being in the sun all day took a lot of energy. Hmmm, I guess. So they both fell asleep. Neither one of them ate dinner and Jake was the only one up at this point in time. Hmmmmm.
I asked him, "Do you have anything planned for tonight?"
He quickly replied, "No I thought I would stay in and relax. Not much going on. Maybe catch a movie later on."
Hmmmmm. Something doesn't feel right. So I continued with, "You mean a handsome young man like you doesn't want to go out on a Friday night?"
"Call me boring. I'm just in the mood for doing nothing and relaxing at home."
Now I know something isn't right! Not sure where Jake was but this was not Jake. He might look like Jake, he might sound like Jake but he is definitely not acting like Jake.
I smiled and decided to continue playing along to see where this went plus I also wanted to hear from Cate. I turned and went upstairs to change into something more comfortable. I looked down the upstairs hallway and saw that Cate's door was closed so I went into my room and closed the door.
I headed into my bathroom and took my skirt and blouse off. I almost felt like taking a shower but decided against it. I took my bra and panties off and put my robe on. As I came back into my bedroom I froze. Looking at my bed I saw in horror my dildo, my Ben Wa balls, and a pair of my lacy thongs. I was mortified. How could these kids invade my privacy like that. What makes it worse was they didn't even think to cover their tracks. I was furious.
I stormed out of my room looking for answers. The first place I was going to go to was Cate's room. I was pissed. How could they be so insensitive and humiliate me like this. I knocked on Cate's door and said, "Cate it's mom. Please let me in. We need to talk." I stood there and waited for a response. None! Damn these kids! I was just about to pound on the door when I saw the knob turn and the door slowly open.
"Hey mom. What's up?"
What's up? Really? Are you kidding me Cate? I tried to get my anger under control to see if I could figure out what went on today while I was at work. I entered her room and closed the door. "Cate I need to know what went on today while I was at work?"
I saw Cate's eyes immediately look down. Busted! "What do you mean mom?" she said.
Cate, Cate, Cate!!! She was always the cool, calm, and collected one when everything around her was going off the rails. "Cate it's a very simple question. What where you guys up to while I was at work?"
"Okay mom. I know you. You think something was up. Tell me and get it out in the open so we can speed this process up."
That's my Cate. A good defense is a good offense. The problem is that I know all her tendencies seeing that I raised her. Fine by me I'll play by her rules. She still is going to give me what I want. Answers! "Okay Cate, come with me please." I stood up and pointed to her door. As she got up I noticed her face was very flushed. I also noticed she only had a top on. I said, "Ahem," pointing to her bottoms, "Maybe you should put some clothes on?"
I saw her face and knew she was embarrassed. "Sorry mom, I just woke up." Well at least that part of the story between the siblings was consistent. I smirked as I saw her put some shorts on. I couldn't resist a jab so I said, "So now we are going commando?" She stuck her tongue out and walked past me into the hallway. Defiant and confident as always. I pointed to my room, "In my room. Now!" I saw the look in her eyes when I think she finally realized what this was all about.
As we went into my room I closed and locked my door. Cate and I were going to have a frank discussion between mother and daughter. I stood watching Cate's eyes wander to my bed and then back to the floor. I let her stew for a little while just to make sure she understood how pissed I was. Finally I said, "Well would you care to explain what I'm seeing on my bed?"
What happened next shocked me to no end. My fearless, independent dynamo of a daughter sat on my bed and started to sob uncontrollably. Her breathing became erratic, gasping at air, she sobbed, "I am so sorry mom. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me."
I looked at her and realized this was not an act. My poor little baby was hurting. I quickly went to console her, wrapping my arms around her, pulling her tight to me and saying, "Its okay baby. Talk to mommy. Tell me why you are so upset." I rocked her in my arms knowing she was hurting. What on earth could have happened today to cause this type of reaction.
"Shhh baby. It's okay. Just talk to mommy. I'll always love you. Just be honest with me."
It must have been five minutes of holding Cate close to me before she finally started to relax. I ran my fingers through her hair kissing her head and whispered, " Tell me why you are so upset. Please baby. Let mom help."
She started to whimper again saying, "I can't mom. It's so embarrassing. I'm so bad. I am so sorry it's all my fault. It's my fault." She started crying again. I held her close wondering what on earth happened today.
CATE
I can't believe I left the damn toys on her bed! What was I thinking or maybe what was I not thinking. Seeing the toys on the bed hit me hard. I started to cry knowing that not only had I screwed up big time but I also hurt the person I love most, my mom. I sat on the bed sobbing uncontrollably when I felt mom put her arms around me and try to console me. All I could do was say, "I'm sorry."
I thought about how I acted all day. I lost all sense of thought as I obsessed over my brothers cock. I can't believe that I was driven with and obsessive lust that, I not only seduced my brother into showing me his cock but I also had my brother get me off with his fingers. How crazy is that? The thought made me cry harder as my mom continued to try and soothe my obvious distress.
