Jennifer sat on the couch watching TV. This is how she spent most of her nights, as most of her friends had gone away to college. However, since her deadbeat dad wouldn't help her with tuition, she was stuck going to junior college for a couple years. Her brother, Michael, had recently moved back in after a messy divorce. He had married his high school sweetheart, but it turned out she had a thing for getting laid and not just by Michael.
Michael was usually in a poor mood, as would be expected, so Jennifer usually just stayed out of his way. Their mom, Sarah, had been through a divorce and did her best to comfort her son. However, Sarah also worked 50 to 60 hours per week and was usually very tired by the time she got home.
It had been just Jennifer and Sarah for the last three years, so now they were getting readjusted to the old routine of having a man around again. Jennifer had a boyfriend sometimes, but Sarah had barely had a handful of dates since the divorce. Michael usually spent his time holed up in his old room.
Night after night, and week after week they went through a mostly silent routine. Finally, Jennifer decided she had had enough.
"Alright," Jennifer said over dinner. "I'm sick of us all pretending like no one else is here. Mom, you need to get out and have some fun. Mike, you just need to get out and do something!"
"Geez, Jen," replied Michael. "Perhaps if you had been through something like this you'd understand how crappy life is for me."
"Don't get my wrong, I know it sucks. Patty is a cheating bitch, but she is getting the best of you if you just sit here all the time."
"She's right, Mike," added Sarah. "I didn't start healing from my divorce from your father until I went on a date a year later."
Michael just continued eating, not really wanting any part of this conversation.
"Michael! If you are going to live here, then you will participate as a member of the household."
"Fine, what do you want me to do?! I'm all of 24 years old and my life is already in the toilet. It's only been 2 months and maybe I'm just not ready to get a girlfriend! There, I participated, you happy?"
With that he got up from the table and went to his room. The two women listened as he stomped up the stairs and slammed his door. They didn't say anything else during dinner and went about their own business for the rest of the evening.
About a week later, they were back at the dinner table again. None of them had brought up the subject of dating anyone since that night. So, as they sat around quietly waiting on the pizza, Jennifer decided to rehash the subject.
"So, I've been thinking," she said.
"Oh, good lord, spare us!" Michael said in a somewhat playful tone. His day had been better than most and it showed.
"Shut it," she replied. "I think I have a solution that will get you both out of the house for an evening."
"Oh, do tell Ms. Nostradomus of the dating world," added Michael.
"Michael, you should listen. Jennifer has had plenty of dates in the last few months, which is more than I can say for either of us."
"Thank you, mother. Now, my suggestion is this, and before you say 'no' you have to give it a chance. Agreed?"
"Yeah, sure," said Michael.
"Mom?"
"Oh, I'm in on this too?"
"Yes, so do you agree?"
"Ok, why not. What's the plan?"
"Alright. The plan is that you two are going to go on a date... together."
"What?" responded Michael in shock. "I can't take MOM on a date. That's sick."
"I didn't tell you to screw her."
Sarah almost fell off of her chair.
"Look, we live in a city of millions. No one will know the difference and you two can use the time out of this house."
Michael just sat there, staring silently picking at his plate. Sarah was still slightly stunned by the previous commentary. Jennifer watched them both, hoping for any sort of reaction.
"Seriously?! You two are ridiculous. All I suggested is that you two get out of the house for a night," exclaimed Jennifer as she grabbed her plate and glass, heading for the kitchen.
A few minutes passed and Michael looked up at his mother, who seemed to finally be getting over her daughter's blatant commentary. He gave her a sheepish grin and Sarah smiled back, not knowing what to say.
"I guess it wouldn't be horrible," Michael said, breaking the silence.
"Gee, thanks," Sarah replied.
"Oh, that's not how I meant it. You know, I mean..."
"Yeah, I get the point. Maybe it would be good for us to get out of here for a night."
"Well, it is only 6:30, so why don't we just take off before we change our minds."
"That is a fine idea," Sarah replied as she stood up. "I just need to go throw some more suitable clothes on."
"Me too, see you back down here in ten minutes, Mom," he said.
Sarah froze as she hit the first step. "Ok, Michael, I think maybe you should call me Sarah for tonight."
"Oh, right. Sarah it is," he said with a smile. Sarah just shook her head and grinned as she continued up the stairs. Michael was still thinking about what his sister had said. He caught himself stealing a glimpse of his mom's ass as she went up the stairs ahead of him.
"Gonna have to quit that shit," he mumbled to himself.
Michael went into his room and quickly changed clothes, making some attempt at looking presentable. He then headed back downstairs to wait.
Fifteen minutes later he heard footsteps and looked up the staircase. The woman he saw barely resembled the one he followed up only a short time ago.
"Wow!" he stated. "Who are you? And what did you do with my m... with Sarah?"
"Smartass. Quit staring and tell me where you are taking me."
Michael took a moment to stare. Somehow he had never really paid full attention to how hot his mom was. She normally wore pretty frumpy clothes, but this outfit was one he had never seen before. She had traded in her blue frame glasses for some wire rimmed ones. Her auburn hair was no longer pulled up, but laid neatly across her shoulders. Her blouse was tasteful but made quite sure everyone would know that she had a nice pair of tits under there. Finally, a knee length skirt accented the long legs she usually hid in loose fitting mommy jeans.
Michael blinked a few times and then said, "Well, I was thinking maybe a nice steak and maybe a movie."
Sarah enjoyed the attention she was getting, even if it was from Michael.
"That sounds fine, as long as it isn't some movie where the girls run around naked all night."
