It had been a hectic day. First my husband, Kevin calls, he had left his cell phone at home and needed me or Laurence to bring it down to his office along with his lucky golfing cap. He is now the C.E.O / general manager of the local Buick, Cadillac, GMC, Toyota dealership in town. He has put in a lot of hard work and long hours to get where he is and I'm very proud of him. My son Laurence was still working on breakfast and hadn't dressed for school yet when I asked, "Hey, Laurence, can you quickly take your father his cell phone please?
I heard him groan and say, "I'd like to mom but I've got to get dressed for school and I told Nate and Paula I'd pick them up on my way to school and I don't time to do both."
Our daughter Katie, who was already up, dressed and had breakfast said, "I can do it mom."
Looking at the time I said, "You don't have time, the high school is on the other end of town from your father's business. Now get in your car and head to school. It's your senior year and you've had perfect attendance so far. Now get going.
Laurence was in his sophomore year at the University and had just turned 20. At times he could be quite the charming adult and others, he was still my little boy.
Giving him the 'Look', I said, "Just remember that, young man, the next time you want a new truck or another set of tires or fancy accessory for your truck. Not only do I have to take your father his phone and his baseball cap, he also wants me to pick up tickets for the monster truck show that's coming to town next month. And did I mention that I'm supposed to have the closing papers written up and ready to be notarized for the Nelsons by 9:00 this morning? Did I?"
As he stood up in just his sweat pants, I couldn't help but admire his physique. 6'8", 260 lbs., size 16 shoes and not an ounce of fat. God he was gorgeous. I know it was wrong to look at him like that but he reminded me of some of the guys on the pornos that Kevin brought home. Of course, seeing him earlier this morning, walking around in his underwear and socks with his morning wood, getting me wet didn't hurt either.
Laurence main interest was football. He lived and breathed it. He was an offensive lineman and had girls lined up just hoping he'd ask them out but he'd rather work out with Nate, his best friend. Nate's sister, Paula, was more like one of the guys and would track the statistics for the them and also the team. A lot of girls hated Paula because they thought Laurence was tapping her but that sure wasn't happening.
What no one knew was Laurence was only interested in his mother. He had the hots for her in the biggest way. He loved the way she'd walk around the house in her lingerie and nylons getting ready for work. Though lately he'd been getting some similar feelings from seeing his little sister when she'd come out in just her panties and bra or after a shower wearing just a white tee shirt over her wet body.
What those two fine ladies didn't know was that Laurence had done was hide a dozen lipstick cameras in strategic locations that were being recorded on a computer he bought off a friend and he had hidden up in the attic for his later viewing. He'd spent many hours stroking his manhood to videos of his mother showering or even masturbating and lately even a few of his sister. He knew it was wrong but he loved it.
Grabbing his father's phone and cap out of my hands, he said, "Fine, but if I'm late to school, you'll have to write me an excuse note, alright?" Then he added sort of nicely, "Since you're the most beautiful mom in town, could you pick up maybe 4 extra tickets for the monster truck show for me and my friends? Please."
Smiling at him, I nodded and ran out the door, got in my car and headed to the office. I own a small independent real estate firm and do pretty well. Besides me, I have two sales associates, Norma and Bobbi and a receptionist, Gail. As I drove, my mind wandered to the past.
I met Kevin early during the first quarter of the ninth grade. It really was love at first sight. Honestly it was almost like something out of the movies. We saw each other and walked across the quad towards each other, ignoring everyone else until our hands touched. We didn't speak for several minutes until my friend, Tara, poked me saying, "Don't just stand there silly, say something."
I giggled and said, "Um, hi. I'm Shelly and you are?"
He stammered a bit and eventually said, "Gosh, you're really beautiful. I'm Kevin. May I get your phone number?" I gave it to him and never looked at another boy. Kevin was the only boy I dated. My mother was very upset and told me that I should be dating others so that I could have a good idea of what was out there but I was too much in love. Kevin was two years older than I.
That year was a rough one for Kevin. His father ran a logging business and an early snow storm stopped work. Karl, being the bull-headed guy, he was, decided he was going to ride his snowmobile up and get his loaded truck down from the mountains for some extra Christmas cash. As he drove his rig down the icy mountain road, a group of jeeps were heading up and Karl hit the brakes which jackknifed his truck, sliding it off the mountain. He went down about 300' and his cab hit a stand of trees and the load of logs crushed him like somebody stepping on a bug. There wasn't much cheer in the Beckham household that Christmas.
That spring, Jeri, Kevin's mom, sold off all his father's equipment to a guy from Montana, the mysterious Lou. I say mysterious because for some reason, even though Kevin told me he would come to town almost every other week to see Jeri, I never got to meet him.
The Easter before my graduation, we were at Kevin's mom's home for dinner and after dinner, Kevin and I were sitting on the front porch swing talking. I really wasn't expecting it but suddenly Kevin stood up as if to stretch, then he turned to face me and knelt down in front of me and reaching into his pocket, pulled out a ring box and opened it. I gasp, holding my hands over my mouth.
Solemnly Keven said, "Shelly Marie Porter, would you do me the honor of becoming Mrs. Kevin Mathew Beckham?"
Tears streamed down my face as I nodded and said yes, flinging my arms around his neck. Our reverie was interrupted by a loud cheering coming from inside and I turned to see the entire family looking at us through the front room windows. They came pouring out congratulating us. Kevin is the youngest child, he has two older brothers and two older sisters, all are married with children of their own. They wanted pictures and we took a lot.
Crystal, Kevin's oldest sister, asked us, "So when's the wedding you two?" We looked at each other and I said, "I don't know. How about as soon as we can get our wedding license?"
