DAY TWO
I checked my phone for the time-
8:16AM
it read. It was hard to believe that Dad and I had only been fishing for a couple of hours. Time seemed to drag on painfully slow as we sat in the boat, staring at our lines casted out into the water.
Suddenly, the loud tone of my cell phone snapped me from my trance. Dad heard the familiar jingle and glared over his shoulder at me from where he sat in the front of the boat. He didn't need to say anything for me to already know what he was thinking- 'Kids these days and their constant need for technology.'
"Sorry," I muttered as I clicked my volume key down to vibrate.
He waved it off, shaking his head with mild disappointment.
I swiped my phone open and saw the notification of a text message in the top corner of my screen. I saw that it was from Mom and smiled as I clicked it open.
MOM
Morning stud! How's it going out there?
My heart went pitter-patter as I read the words. I excitedly typed her back an equally flirtatious reply
DANNY
Better now that I'm talking to you!
I felt like a young teenager again, texting my crush for the first time, wondering how she would perceive my attempt at flirting.
MOM
Well aren't you quite the charmer this morning! Your dad can't see who ur texting tho, can he?
I knew that he couldn't, but I glanced up at him just to be sure.
DANNY
No, his chair is faced away from me
A full minute passed before my phone buzzed again. This time she'd sent a picture. I swiped my touchscreen open and couldn't help but laugh at the image. It was a picture of the laundry pile on the bathroom floor, the pile that the four of us had made collectively. She'd fished out the infamous white panties that I'd worn over my head the night before and held them out for the camera.
MOM
You forgot your hat in here this morning
Dad heard me chuckle and glanced back, catching me with my nose still buried in my phone. "Can't you put that damn thing down for one second?" he scowled, gesturing to the lake and the natural beauty that I was ignoring.
I refrained from reminding him that the fish weren't biting anyway, and waited for him to turn and face out the front of the boat again before replying to Mom.
DANNY
Dang! I knew I was forgetting something lol
MOM
You better just hope your head doesn't get sunburnt out there young man!
I loved how goofy and oddly comfortable she was, joking about her panties with me. It was as if she'd woken up in a playful mood already, ready to pick up where we had left off.
DANNY
I promise to be more careful from now on
MOM
You better be!
The familiar feeling of adolescent butterflies fluttered around in the pit of my stomach as I thought of something clever to type back.
DANNY
I'm gonna have to hot tub with you more often I think!
MOM
Yes plz!! Are we on for tonight?
DANNY
Oh, God! I can't wait!!
MOM
Me either! Do you want me to pick out a new hat for you? π
It took everything I had not to laugh out loud at that. I quickly typed a brave reply.
DANNY
Only if it looks similar to the panties you're wearing right now
MOM
Who says I'm wearing panties right now?
DANNY
Really?!
MOM
Behave, goofball. I'm just jumping in the shower π
I imagined her in the shower, soaping herself in all the right places, and about fifteen minutes later my phone buzzed in my lap again.
MOM
Black
Her single word text, left me confused, wondering what she had meant by that.
DANNY
Black??
MOM
Yeah. You asked me about the panties I'm wearing right now, remember? I just slipped on a pair of black satin panties
My mind pictured her sliding a pair of sexy black panties up her freshly showered legs, then I did a flashback of all the panties I'd discovered in her suit case the night before, and by process of elimination, I figured out exactly which pair she was referring to.
DANNY
These panties you're wearing, they wouldn't happen to be trimmed in white lace, would they?
MOM
Maybe...lol
Luckily I didn't have to spend too long drawing the image up in my head, my phone buzzed a moment later with an actual picture of the panties. A close-up of her midsection filled my four inch screen. The exact pair of panties I was thinking of clung to her form, shimmering in the light, making her covered poochie sparkle like diamonds.
MOM
I forgot how comfy these are!!
DANNY
Those look even better on you than I imagined they would!
MOM
So you've fantasized about me, have you?
DANNY
Absolutely lol
MOM
Haha!! Well, you know, mr snoopy pants, it's not gonna be as much fun for me flashing you my panties all week when you already know everything I've packed for you
I smiled wider than ever, wondering how long she'd been planning this.
DANNY
Trust me I'll still enjoy it!!
