JOANNE
I don't think I'd ever been more confused: I was naked in my son's bed, on top of my daughter, who was wearing only her panties. We were both screaming, and in ran my son, and my daughter's best friend. Also naked.
My son Jeremy put his hands on my shoulders and "It's okay, Mom," as if his penis weren't almost in my face.
Part of me wanted to lean forward and take it into my mouth.
Okay, focus... I know I was in here last night talking to him, then I went back to my bedroom and almost raped my husband Rick, even though it had been years since we'd last had sex: I don't even take my birth control pill anymore, because there's no point putting up with the side effects.
He wasn't at all interested at first, but after a while he was as much into it as I was, and we had the sort of sex we hadn't had since before we were married. The sort of sex, in fact, that got made pregnant with Karin at sixteen, and a bride five months later.
And then a few hours later, a few minutes ago, despite the fact that Rick and I had fucked each other into near comas (my pussy was still sore, which I know hasn't happened since before I gave birth to two kids), I felt an urge to come in here. Almost like a dream.
Whatever it was, it went out of my mind as soon as Karin and I screamed.
Though I knew I was still paying more attention to Jeremy's penis than a mother should.
"You must have been sleepwalking," Karin said soothingly. "That's why you're disoriented."
And then Rick ran in, wearing a robe. "I heard screaming, is everybody--?" And he stopped short, noticing everybody's nudity.
Karin and Naomi suddenly seemed to remember as well: Karin pulled the sheet over her chest, and Naomi grabbed Karin's nightgown from the floor next to the bed and held it up in front of body, very ineffectively. Naomi patted the bed next to her, and Naomi climbed in, also drawing the blanket up to her collarbone.
"Um..." Karin said to Rick, "Jeremy and Naomi were messing around in my room, so I came here to sleep. And then Mom was sleepwalking. Simple."
I accepted it, but it was too simple. Especially since I'd never sleepwalked in my life, and that's not what this felt like. Also, Naomi didn't seem to like the "Jeremy and Naomi were messing around in Karin's room" part, she didn't even appear to
like
Jeremy, but I'm not sure how else she'd explain her and Jeremy running in here naked together.
RICK
It had already been a weird night: Joanne had come to bed, stripped naked -- she never slept naked -- pulled down my boxers, and begun playing with my dick. These past few years, I'd become convinced she forgot
I had
a dick. It wasn't doing a thing for me at first, but after about fifteen minutes suddenly my dick was porn-star hard and we were going at it like animals in heat.
The first thing I remember after just about collapsing in post-coital exhaustion was being woken up by screams coming from Jeremy's room. I threw on robe and dashed over.
I got there to see my daughter Karin sitting up in bed, topless, Joanne siting next to her naked, and Jeremy and Karin's friend Naomi standing naked next to the bed.
I tried very hard to avert my eyes from Karin, whom I hadn't seen without a shirt since she was 11 or 12, but I was having far less luck ignoring Naomi, a gorgeous girl with large, firm breasts. And a mound of wispy pubic hair.
"Um... Jeremy and Naomi were messing around in my room, so I came here to sleep. And then Mom was sleepwalking," Karin said, as she and Naomi covered up and Jeremy pulled on a pair of gym shorts.
It all sounded kind of sketchy to me; but I really couldn't think of any more plausible scenarios, so I just said "Jeremy, why don't we go downstairs and give the ladies a chance to get themselves together in peace."
And once downstairs, I asked him "Is there anything you need to tell me?"
"Nope," he said.
At the very least, if he was entering into a relationship with his sister's best friend, that could get complicated. And no good can come from family dynamics getting complicated.
I didn't even ask him whether he'd been traumatized seeing his mother naked.
Seriously,
sleepwalking
??
Karin called down from the top of the stairs "Jeremy, everybody's out of your room."
"Thanks," he called back, gave me a quick goodnight, and dashed upstairs.
I wondered briefly whether Naomi was waiting for him in his room (and whether I should object, not that it made a difference anymore), or whether she was going go through the motions of sleeping in Karin's room, which she'd done countless times over the years. It sometimes felt as if we had two daughters, though I might struggle a bit thinking about her that way now that I'd seen her in all her naked glory.
Both guesses were wrong: as everybody was scrambling from room to room upstairs, Naomi slipped downstairs, carrying an overnight bag. Quietly, as if she didn't want anybody to know she was leaving. "Mister Rick," she said -- which is what she called me since she was 14 or so and Joanne and I told her she could call us by our first names but she couldn't quite bring herself to -- "I know it's late, or really early or whatever, but could you drive me home?"
She didn't explain; but she seemed upset about something, so I didn't ask. I told her she could wait in the car, and I ran upstairs (Joanne was dead to the world, no great surprise) and just threw on a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt. Didn't even bother with socks or underwear, because I was only going to be gone for a few minutes.
When we set off, I wasn't sure whether I wanted Naomi to talk to me about what was going on, or not. And now that she was involved with Jeremy, I didn't know what would be more disruptive: if she were dating Karin's brother, or she broke up with Karin's brother.
I didn't want to lose Naomi as a sort-of member of the family, and I would have felt that way even if I hadn't just seen her naked.
Fuck, why did my mind even go there?
This was a kid I'd known half of her life, and my daughter's friend and maybe my son's girlfriend.
But I knew I wasn't going to get the image of her naked body out of my head any time soon.
"You're looking forward to graduation?" I asked. The dumb question seniors get asked countless times over their last few weeks of school.
