Mom's "Best Friend" (Part 6)
The day June asked me to move in with her was a landmark event in our relationship. I had decided not to run, and a few dates later she popped the question. I said yes, of course. As much as I liked Kelly's place, June's house felt like home, naturally. It was weird moving back into what I considered home, actually. In other news, working Kelly's job wasn't that hard of an adjustment as it turns out. She was an office worker and aspiring reporter, and while the world of working and reporting was completely new to me, it was nice to have a job to throw myself into and make some money. Gave me a more fulfilled feeling of being able to provide for myself and those I cared about. Life was good. Except for one notable issue.
Having sex with June… it's become a regular thing. We live together, sleep together, and with living together being all so fresh and new of course we're indulging a bit. It's… incredible. The incestuous pleasure was something I took way too much joy in… but something else that scared me was how much the “incest” aspect was pushed from my mind. It was just… love, at some point. I was becoming someone else… so eventually, it didn't even feel wrong to do what I did with her. But was that fair? She didn't know who or what I was, not really. No matter how much I settle into this new life, it doesn't change who I was.
As I got home from work, well… I figured I should at least share some things about my scenario with her. I hadn’t decided what I would say yet, but I was going to say something. “I’m home!” As I arrived June quickly met me at the door.
“Welcome home! Mwah!” She gave me a kiss on the cheek every day when I got home, it was nice.
“June… I need to talk with you. C’mon.” I took her hand and led her up to our room, while Alex perked up and took an interest in what I said while he lay around in the living room.
As she picked up on the somber mood, June took my hand as we sat on the edge of our bed. “There's something I need to tell you.” It was hard to choke back whatever else I was feeling as I was about to confess, but she stopped me.
“Y'know… if I've learned anything in my last marriage, it's that just because something needs to be told, doesn't mean it needs to be heard.” It was a nice sentiment, but I've lied to her. I wasn't always Kelly…
“B-but… I did something really bad June.” But again, she was firm on saving me the stress of confessing.
“We've both done bad things before. It doesn't mean we're bad people. I know you've been grappling with something for a while now. But it's okay. Whatever it is, let it go.” She… hugged me. “I wouldn't judge you for every detail of your past, and I hope you would do the same for me. I love you Kelly. I love it when you laugh, and I love it when you make me laugh. And as long as you love me, I think we'll be alright.” I hugged her back. So tight, like I would never let go. Because I won't let go.
…
“So, did you tell her?” I stepped outside to get some fresh air, and Alex followed.
“No, she said I didn't have to tell her whatever was on my mind. We're staying together.”
“I see… say, if you were given the chance, if someone cleared this all up, would you swap back?” That was… A difficult question. Realistically, this was all my fault, he should have the first say.
“Well, I got you caught up in this whole mess. Would you?” He thought on it for a moment, but not too long. It seemed he already had some idea of how he felt about all this.
“Mmm… no, I don't think I would. I love June, but I can love her the way I am fine. I don't mind starting a new life. I'd say I'm happy with moving on and having you two as my Moms.” He laughed. I guess that was his answer, even if we got the chance, this was us.
“Moms, huh? I like that.”
