The light piercing through the blinds awoke Jackson at quarter after six in the morning. The second his eye lids parted he let out a massive groan. He had at least another half an hour before he had to get up, and he was hoping to savor every moment of sleep before he had to face the day. It was the first day of his last year in high-school which already felt like a process that would never end.
Compounding that was the fact that he was older than most of his peers; the result of being held back a year during the more turmoil filled period of his childhood. The extra year age difference between him and his classmates had never bothered him up until this point but for some reason with his anxiousness to be done and free from the chains of his education institutional growing it was something he thought about often now.
Jacks begrudgingly made his way to the bathroom and standing over the sink splashed water onto his face hoping that the shock in temperature would wake him up. He had no such luck. Back to his room he went to throw on some clothes. September in the northeast still felt like August and it would probably be weeks before the weather began to shift into Autumn, so basketball shorts and a tee was the outfit for today. Finally, he made his way out of the room and out to the kitchen. His mother, Heather, and him lived in a rancher.
After his parents' messy divorce Jackson and Heather moved around a lot before settling into this house. The time since they moved in was the most stable he had experienced since prior to their separation when he was ten. Heather was already in the kitchen. She sported a grey plush robe which did very little to hide her voluptious figure, but Jackson and her had understandably grown very close without his dad in the picture and she didn't think much of it.
Jackson on the other hand sometimes wished that there a bit more modesty in the house. He wasn't a prude by any means, but he was a young man, and his hormones were on overdrive on a daily basis. The most mundane things could instantly set off a chemical reaction within his eighteen year old body that would leave him in an excited state and this included, occasionally, the way his mother was dressed.
Heather was hard to miss in that way. Like anyone with age she had rounded out in some areas that she was not satisfied with. She would often complain aloud to Jackson that "her ass was too fat" or "that she missed how slim and tight her tummy used to be". On the flip side of the same coin, Heather had always been top heavy and with some of the extra weight gained over time a fair share of that poundage had made its way to her bust line. Some women would see this as a gift and some as a curse. Jacks wasn't sure how his mother felt about it, but he sure knew how his friends felt. They were, in his opinion, overly cheery to see his mother when they came by. They'd often delay departing the house in order to spend a couple extra minutes speaking with Jack's mother. Yes, he knew that his mom was cool and kind to all his friends, but he also knew from some of the comments that they made that their intentions were not always pure.
Luckily, the plush robe his mother was sporting today wasn't as revealing as what she'd sometimes wear around the house. It still did nothing to hide her massive curves within, though. A robe could only do so much. "It's your first day of school, and that's what you're wearing," heather called to Jacks as he took a seat at small kitchen table. She tossed her red long red hair over her shoulder and shot what was a half joking but half menacing look Jack's way.
"Mom, it's hot out, and honestly who cares about the first day of school. I just want to be done already," he retorted as his six foot two frame slumped into his seat. Heather brought over a cup of coffee and a bagel already smeared with cream cheese and placed it in front of her son. "You know Jacks, I get it, I really do, but you should try to savor this time. Before you know it you'll be longing to return to this time," she paused, sighed, and added "trust me on that." Gesturing at the coffee and bagel Jackson smiled shot a "thanks" his mother's way.
"Mom, I believe you, but for now it's just annoying. That's all."
Jackson ran his hand through his short cropped strawberry-blonde hair contemplating the day ahead and finishing his breakfast. "Oh!" Heather said abrupt and loudly suddenly startling Jacks. "Don't forget I have my first massage appointment set up today at four," his mother announced.
"Oh thanks for the reminder. I would have forgotten," Jacks replied. Heather worked as an administrative assistant at a real estate firm in town, but everyone was feeling the effects of inflation, and she had decided to start working as a masseusse out of her home. She used to be a massage therapist when she was younger, and figured this would be the easiest way to pick up some extra cash on the side with little overhead involved. She even had a functional massage table still.
"Yes, now I've given the client direction to come through the back door, and I'll be set up in the den. I'll need privacy during the appointment so the den is off limits, but on the plus side you shouldn't have to see any strangers in the house."
