She handed me and said, “Sorry so being so distant this morning.”
“That’s OK mom” I said, “I knew you had a lot to think about.”
“Well, last night doesn’t happen to too many mothers and sons.” she spoke seriously, “I have gone over this so many times in my head this morning. Is it really right for us to do this? Should we stop and never talk about it again? What would people think of me if this got out? Am I leading you into something that isn’t good for you? It has been really awkward for me and just didn’t know what to say to you this morning.”
I heard her out and said, “Mom, I am the happiest person in the world today and proud of the love and pleasure we gave each other last night. I do not think bad or poorly of you, just the opposite.”
Gwen took my right hand from the steering wheel, held it tightly in hers, then rested her head on my shoulder. “I have come to realize all of that and know this is good for us. Good for me and good for you. You are right. When you just let go, it seems like the natural thing to do. Richie, I love you and please tell me if our love ever becomes a problem.”
“I will but I don’t think it will ever be a problem.” I said reassuringly, “Remember when we went to that parent-student college introduction seminar last summer?” Gwen nodded. “The college heads told everyone that the students’ relationships with their families will change. Once students are away from home, we will grow and become adults. The relationships with the parents will become more like friends and peers than children. Gwen nodded again. “Our relationship changed even before last night or last month. We really are more like really close friends than mother and son. I think that is why this love works for us.”
Mom pleasantly smiled and said, “I think you are right. You were always so smart. I am going to miss you when you are at school the next couple of months.”
I grinned and said, “I think we can pack plenty of fun in the next few days to make up for that.”
“You betcha” laughed Gwen as she gave me a kiss. “I was wondering. When did you start thinking about me like that? I never really suspected that you were interested in me sexually years ago.”
“I have thought a lot about that.” I said, “Most of my interests came about over the last year but in looking back, I probably was interested but never consciously admitted to it. I have always loved you so much and always thought you were beautiful. I never really jacked off as a teenager thinking of you but about women like you. I was really glad when dad left the house and he always made me mad how he treated you. I think now that I was jealous of him being with you.”
“Don’t be mad at him.” my mother said sadly, “Things happened that way and our relationship while long and happy at first, didn’t end that way in the final chapters. We both have new lives and mine is much happier than 2 years ago. Things work out for the best.”
“I do believe that.” I said, “Anyway, in college I heard about this crazy mother son sex club at some of the campuses.”
