“It’s no trouble at all, besides you went to trouble to keep my baby boy away from harm yesterday it’s the least I could do” she said while twirling her hair in her hands.
Mum was wearing strapless skin tight dress that stopped a few inches above her knees and it revealed quite a lot of cleavage. She sat opposite Marcus with her long smooth legs crossed. I returned with a beer for Marcus and one for me. Mum already had a glass of wine on the coffee table.
“Dinner will be ready shortly we’re just waiting on a few things” she said to us both.
“That’s ok, what shall we talk about while wait?” replied Marcus.
“Well what classes are you taking in college?” asked mum.
“I’m taking some sports and coaching classes and physiotherapy, the sports is just for fun but I’d like to get into physiotherapy after college”
“Oh brilliant, you must be getting pretty good with those hands then” Mum said as she giggled away. Marcus gave a little chuckle.
“Well I’ve had no complaints so far Rose” he replied.
The two of them smiled at each other and then there was an egg timer alarm going off in the kitchen.
“Ah dinners ready, you two go and sit at the table ill bring it all through”
So me and Marcus went into the dining room and sat at the table. Marcus sat at the head of the table and I sat next to him leaving mum to sit opposite me.
She came through balancing three plates and put them down in front of us. She sat down at he table.
“Few it’s been awhile since I’ve cooked for three” she said.
“If you don’t mind me asking Rose, where is the man of the house?” he asked.
“Sam’s father left a long time ago, he wasn’t interested in becoming a fatherso he left me to raise a boy alone”
“I see, it must have been hard raising Sam alone?” he said as he sympathized with her.
“Not really, Sam always wanted to help around the house and was never a naughty child. He made it easy for me actually” mum replied quickly.
“It’s a trait of his you know. Making things easy for everyone, we don’t need to do anything in those changing rooms. He’s already got stuff dry and cleaned and even has glasses of water ready for us after practice” said Marcus.
“Oh well I’m glad he’s serving you so well” said mum.
“I was actually talking it over with the boys and we want him to stay permanently but we’ll have to convince the headmaster” exclaimed Marcus.
“So does this mean he’s making friends?” asked mum.
“Yeah all the guys like him, he’s alright” replied Marcus.
We ate and we talked for hours. Mum had another two glasses of wine and had loosened up a lot as she was laughing and giggling and twirling her hair in her fingers. We had all been drinking and had been laughing for a while.
After the meal mum and Marcus began talking about his college course and how swimming and water therapy was good for muscle aches when mum blurted out.
“Oh we have a Jacuzzi outside, should we all go for a dip?”
Marcus hesitated and looked at me. I thought it was a great idea.
“I’m up for it, are you Marcus?” I said to him.
“I don’t have any shorts with me I’m afraid” he said disappointed.
