Chapter Five - Call Me Elizabeth
"For the sake of salvaging our mother and son relationship and growing it into a more mature one, I'm just curious," she said with a sexually satisfied smile, as if he had just given her a verbal orgasm with his compliment, that no man would ever turn her down for sex. "Would it help to grow our relationship by removing the stigma of awkwardness and by eliminating some of our mother and son barriers, if we addressed one another differently?
"What do you mean, Mother?"
"Perhaps, if you called me Elizabeth, instead of Mom, Mother, and Mommy that may be a first step. I mean, you're a 22-year-old man now, Jason. Even though I love and find such motherly comfort in your endearments, you don't always have to call me Mom, Mother, or Mommy. From now on, call me Elizabeth," she said raising her chin and flipping back her lush, long hair, as if she was a woman he had just met.
"Maybe," said Jason. "Yeah, calling you Elizabeth instead of calling you Mom, Mommy, and Mother may help eliminate the barrier that we always have between us. Anyway, Mom, I mean, Elizabeth, regarding our mother and son relationship, as you will always be my mother, whether I call you Mom or Elizabeth, conversely just because some stranger is my biological father, that doesn't make him my Dad."
"Oh, assuredly and without doubt, I wholeheartedly agree with you. Only, where did that come from, Jason?" She looked at him with confusion. They had discussed all of this before and she had told him that, obviously, his father wanting nothing to do with raising him.
"Obviously, Mom, even though we discussed and I understood, it still bothers me that my father never contacted me. After wrestling with the hurt for so long, the man who impregnated you is just a stranger to me, as he is to you, now. I've given up hope of ever meeting him. Actually, after never having even met him, after all these years have passed, he's just some random man you had sex with the one time and--"
"Actually, he wasn't some random man, Jason. I had sex with him more than just one time," she said with a blush, while fingering her hair.
"Oh? I didn't know that. I just assumed that I was nothing more than a onetime accident."
In the way that she said that he wasn't some random man made him realize that maybe he was a man she already knew and had known for years. Already twisted with his incestuous thoughts over his mother, maybe the man who impregnated her was a family friend, a married man, or relative, but who?
