Part 1:
"How does this look?" Mommy asks as she turns in front of the mirror. It's the fifth dress she's tried on so far.
"It's too racy for you, Mom," Delilah responds matter-of-factly.
"Really? How do you mean?"
"Well, the neckline is way too low and the whole thing accentuates your behind. You'd look like a harlot in that."
"Hmm...I rather like it, actually," Mommy muses distractedly into the mirror. "It might go nicely with my new shoes I bought last week."
Delilah rolls her eyes, then looks away to people-watch other shoppers in the store. The new fall clothes are out so the place is packed.
"This one won't be around long; someone is sure to snap it up if I don't," Mommy concludes out loud. "I think I'll take it," she says to the clerk.
Delilah pretends she's interested in something else and wanders off toward the lingerie department. By the time Mommy catches up with her, she's bought two new bras and some pantyhose.
"Are you about done?" Mommy asks. "I thought we might grab some lunch before we head home. What do you say?"
"Sure. Where would you like to go?"
"How about Lindy's? We haven't been there in years."
Delilah humors her with, "Sounds good to me."
They make there way to Lindy's at the other end of the mall, and are soon being seated.
It HAS been ages since they were together - just the two of them - at Lindy's. At one time it was THE place to eat at the mall. Now? Who knows?
As they both slide into their respective sides of the booth, they each catch a glimpse of the other's abundant cleavage. And they each are making mental comparison's to their own. It should be clear though that there is no winner; they both are magnificently endowed. Sure, Mommy sags just a touch nowadays, but that is completely offset by the depth and length she enjoys.
After that mutual, but clandestine, sizing-up, they sink into their menus. It's not long before the waiter is taking their order of two very dietetic lunches, then off he goes.
"Now tell me more about Amy," Mommy opens.
Mommy's curiosity about Amy exceeds any she's ever had about any of Delilah's BOY friends.
With more than a hint of suspicion, Delilah asks, "Well, what would you like to know that we didn't cover in the kitchen last night?"
Mommy gets a little defensive, but presses ahead nonetheless. "Why don't you tell me what she's like in bed?"
"Ah ha. So that's it. It's lesbian sex you're interested in."
"Not just sex, silly. I'm interested in the whole experience," Mommy retorts.
"Mother, please. What else do people DO in bed?"
"A lot more than sex, that's for sure. It's where the bedrock gets put down for many a relationship. It's where the truly intimate communication takes place."
Just then the waiter reappears with their iced teas and a small basket of rolls.
"Your order will be right up", he intones as he takes a peak down Delilah's blouse. He's subtle but not so subtle that he escapes Mommy's notice. She's had many men, young and old, look down her blouse most of her life. But she feels a small pang now to see him prefer Delilah over herself.
As soon as he's gone, Delilah quickly counters with, "Do I ask you what Daddy is like in bed?"
"No, I guess not."
"Then let's drop it, okay?" Delilah shoots back.
Mommy goes mum. She doesn't want to put Delilah off. She wants them to have a good time together. She acknowledges her error and shifts to more general subjects.
But as they're talking, Delilah keeps thinking about her mother's question about Amy. Why did she ask it? Is she less of a prude than Delilah has thought all these years? She begins to wonder if Mommy has ever wanted lesbian sex.
