I have the best Mum ever. She has just told me that I can go abroad with my friends this summer!
After she married my dad, Amanda became everything; a wife, a mum, a nurse, cleaner, businesswoman and a slave. She hasn't always been the best; she never really liked me to be honest. Like all relationships, I knew to stay my distance and leave her and dad to it when they were together.
"Guy's! I can go. Amanda said that she will talk to my dad for me!" I had to shout it from my window; I was so excited. My first holiday alone with my friends and it was going to be abroad!
The following morning, Amanda told me that she had spoken to my dad and that he had said that what she thinks will be okay. I jumped for joy; as yesterday, she had said that I could.
"I do have conditions." She added.
"Anything, what is it?" I replied, not thinking about what these conditions were. After all, they were paying for the holiday. At eighteen, I couldn't afford it without them.
She looked at me with a look of glory. "Come with me."
I followed her upstairs and we went into hers and dad's bedroom. I wasn't sure what it was, but it smelt wonderful.
"Sit on the end of the bed." Amanda pointed to the bed. I did as she asked; I was eager to know what terms she had and why they were hidden in her bedroom.
She lifted out a bag with something in it from her wardrobe. Has she bought me a gift? Why would it be hidden?
She turned around with it in her arms; "You can go on holiday with your friends, if you wear this for me for half an hour and complete one more task after." She handed me the bag. Eagerly I opened the bag.
"What the fuck? No way! Not a chance." I basically screamed it at her. I threw the bag on the bed and walked out furiously muttering "Fucking sick bitch!"
As I stormed out of the house, Jack came over.
"Well mate, what did your dad say? Can you come?" He was asking too many questions for what was going around in my head. I gave him a glare.
"Oh, sorry I asked." He basically replied to my look.
I had to rant; "That sick bitch wants me to." I stopped. How do I tell anyone what she wanted me to do?
"Go on mate, what is it?" Now, Jack was intrigued.
Jack had been my friend for ten years; ups and downs, but always there for me. When my mum died, he was with me every day and we have been that way ever since. I think I can trust him.
"The bitch wants me to wear a dress for half an hour, then I can go!" I was so angry. She said I could go not a few hours before.
He looked at me half blank and all he said was; "Are you serious?" I just looked at him. "Oh." He continued; "In public or private?"
"Just in front of her." I sat down on the curb and put my head in my hands.
He looked at me as though I was thick. "Well, then. It's in private, for half an hour. Just do it, I would. For fuck's sake mate, it's a holiday. I would wear it in the garden singing the hills are alive for a holiday!"
"You fucking do it then!" I said with a laughing tone.
That evening, as I sat in my bedroom playing my game; a thought of "It's only once, you can go on holiday if you do it once." My brain made sense. It's half an hour and a holiday for two weeks; or no holiday. "Yes, but, No. Yes. No. Erm." My brain was having an argument. I couldn't face dinner tonight. No, I couldn't face HER tonight.
"Hey, champ. Don't you want dinner tonight?" Dad was stood at my door.
I better say something. "No, dad. I ate with Jack, and I am still full."
"Right you are. Goodnight then." I heard his footsteps leave. "Phew, I got out of that one." I thought to myself.
I was up most of the night thinking about what I should do. I went downstairs, into the kitchen and Amanda was there making coffee. She had a white dress on that sculpted her body. Although she was a bitch, she did look good. Long blonde hair, tall with big boobs and a tight arse. I could see why my friends wanted to fuck her.
Dad was drinking his coffee and reading the news on his tablet.
Amanda turned, looked and asked; "Have you thought about your holiday, Thomas?" Not in humour, but as a genuine question. How could she ask in front of dad?
