Life in a small town where everyone knows everyone can be like living in a fish bowel. For instance Mary and Joe Martin had a big fight one night about eight o’clock and by eight o’clock the next morning everyone in town knew about it and why. Joe had made a pass at the new waitress down at the hotel lunch room-bar.
So when my Dad got sick and his time on this earth was limited everyone knew it. A few guys that knew my mother from school days or from the hardware store my Dad had built up from the ground over thirty years were standing in the wings waiting to come around after a respectful time.
My mother is and always has been a meek, quite, demure lady that never said a harsh word about anyone or anything in her life. For me and my brother Mom was just Mom. She was only seventeen when she and Dad were married. Dad was twenty two. So after thirty years of hard work and honest dealing he is rewarded with a tumor that will kill him in a month or two.
Mother just turned forty eight a week ago and she looks a lot like the girl Dad married thirty years ago. Who looks at their Mom really like I said Mom is Mom that’s all. But I had reason to look at her and I was surprised to see she is still a beautiful lady. Slight of build but trim with a nice curvy figure. She has never been one to show off in any way so even her dress is reserve nothing flashy, nothing to show off her really cute figure. Her mousy brown hair is cut in a way that does not show her face in the most flattering way. But that is Mom always in the back ground but always there doing what Mom’s do best helping and being supportive.
Tom my older brother is serving in the Army over seas so he missed Mom’s birthday. But when he found out about Dad he put his letter in to get out of the service. But that will still be six months after Dad passes on. Tom being older than myself by more than ten years has always made him more of a father figure than an older brother. Don’t get me wrong Dad is a great Dad but he worked long hours and has made a great life for us. But Tom was there when I need a new baseball glove and Tom showed me how to ride my first bike and it was Tom that told me about sex.
Last year when Tom came home on leave I brought around a girl I was dating and Tom took me aside after that and we had a long talk about sex and how the man should always be respectful and gentle and never force himself on a girl and if a girl says “NO” then take it as no and stop what ever I am doing.
That was all good advice and I have tried to live up to his guidance.
Dad passed away in May and Tom did make it home for the funeral. We did our best to comfort Mom and she did the same for us. I was gong to go to state college in the fall so I had all summer to help Mom get the Hardware store put up for sale. Tom said he was not interested in running it and I was on my way to other things as well. So Mom said she would put it up for sale. Mom did not need the store to live off of as Dad had provided well for her Tom and me very well.
The second of June I turned nineteen and Mom bought me a new car. Tom had returned to his over seas post. Mom and I seemed to do a lot of thing together now. So that evening I took the car for a long ride and took Mom along. We had been driving up in the hills for about an hour when Mom said she had an offer for the store she was thinking about taking. She said an old school mate had recently return home after being gone for many years and he came in the store looking to get started in business here.
Mom was talking in a low steady voice but there was something in her voice that made me think I needed to meet this Mr. Bart Walker.
We came out on top of Stone’s mountain were the country road meets the interstate. There is a nice Hill Top Bar and Grill there so I pulled in. Mom said she would have a sandwich with me and maybe a beer. I knew Mom would have a beer with Dad when they went out so it seemed like the thing to do now. We were shown a table near the big windows that face the river far below. Even at night you can see the lights on the ships and boats moving along.
The beers came first and it took forever to get our sandwiches. But when they arrived they were the size of a dinner plate and very very good. A three piece band came on and so with two beers under my belt and three for Mom I asked her to dance. Mom fit into my arms like a tiny china doll. She moved but I never felt her at all. She was so light on her feet and graceful it really surprised me. The lights were dimmed and the music slowed down to a golden oldie. Mom folded into me and it felt like she was molded around my body. I looked down to see her face but she had rested her face on the front of my t-shirt. But I did get a glimpse of her firm little breasts as her blouse bunched open. Even in the dim light I could see the whiteness of her breasts and the softness above her half bra.
The thoughts that went through my head in that one flash should have shocked me into the real world but no I was too dumb to see I was headed down a long bumpy road. I closed my eyes and pulled her closer as if she were my Saturday night date. My erection was not under my control as it pushed up again the inside of her thigh. I was about to back off when I thought I felt her wiggle her legs rubbing my erection. That was not a dance step it was an erotic way of saying “I feel that”
What the fuck was wrong with me. This is my mother a new widow that is still morning her dearly departed husband. Besides I knew she had a few beers and maybe did not even know what she was doing. What ever she did or did not do I was aroused in my mind and my cock throbbed in time with the music. I had to get off the floor and out of her before I really screwed up big time.
It was awkward but I did get us off the floor and managed to pay the check. The sun had gone down and the night air as cool. I put my arm around her shoulders as we walked to the car. I reached around her to open the car door on her side. As I bent down she twisted in my arms and put both arms around my neck and kissed me full on the mouth.
I jumped back straightening up as I did. Mom’s feet came clear off the ground. She hung from my neck like a chain. Mom brought up both legs and hooked then around my waist. My cock knew long before I did what was going on. It grew hard and poked her right in the crotch of her panties. I had my hands up under her arms to support her weight. I was kissing her back letting my tongue pass between her parted lips. My breathing was erratic my heart was beating in my ears so loud I thought my head would burst. I did not know what to do.
