Mom's "Best Friend" 5
I woke up the next morning next to June… next to my Mom. It took me a minute to process things. I slept with her. Like, I slept with her. I couldn't see her as my mother the same way after that, who could? And the worst part? It was great. I don't want to admit that to myself though. I couldn't really ever come back from what just happened. It was more than sex… it made it so I could never really view June the same way again. I didn't dislike it though… as awful as it was, I liked seeing her this way. As a woman. And seeing myself as her woman. I was a grown woman, dating another beautiful grown woman, one who I developed awfully strong feelings for. Not familial anymore, but carnal. If I was going to avoid going down this path… I either had to tell her the truth, or leave. I can’t stand the idea of breaking her heart like that though. As I got up out of our bed, stressed out about life, and got ready for the day, I ran into… “Alex” in the hallway.
“Ooo~ did you two get it on?” He smirked. It didn't feel mean though, more… knowing.
“What? No, no way. Uh, well, maybe.” I was the most flustered I could be. It was one thing if I sinned and kept it to myself, but for someone else to know made me feel more guilty.
“Don't worry, I get it. No judgment either. If you're going to be me, this was bound to happen. Anyways, how was it? Incredible right? She sure knows how to-” I couldn’t tell, but the reason he stopped getting uncomfortably detailed talking about our sex lives was because June walked out behind me.
“Oh, honey you’re home! Good, me and Kelly have something very important to tell you.” She brought the two of us to the living room to talk about “our relationship” something the two of us were, of course, already well aware of. She put her arm around me as she began to speak. “As you know, Kelly has been very important to me ever since your father left. But you see, the two of us…” She looked into my eyes before continuing. I couldn’t help but smile as she smiled at me… God, what was I doing? “Are a lot more than friends. We’ve been dating for a while now, and I thought you should know. I know it comes as a shock, but I hope you can accept Kelly as more than my friend. As my girlfriend.”
“Alex”, of course, pretended to be shocked. “Wow, the two of you! Dating! Who would have guessed? Well-” He looked me right in the eye and smiled. “If the two of you are happy, then I’m happy. Welcome to the family.” It felt like we really sealed our roles by having this conversation. I might always be this way… was it about time I just sucked it up and accepted it?
“Oh, I’m so glad! Kelly, do you mind if I talk one on one with Alex?” Of course, I gave them some time alone as “mother and son” or whatever they were now. I worried that Alex might spill our secret, or do something weird, but he didn’t. I didn’t know it at the time, but June asked him a question. “Would you be okay if she moved in with us? And maybe, someday, if we got married?”
