“You’ll play along?”
“Yes, but did you notice how old Larry is? He’s old enough to be her father.”
“I guess couples with big age differences are the norm these days,” Paul said, regretting it.
His mother laughed. “Stop it, I’m not that old.”
Before Paul had a chance to respond, Jenny and Larry came back over. “Hey, you two!” Jenny said, cheerfully. She seemed to always be in a constant state of excitement. “Let’s go up to the lover’s leap. It’s so romantic up there. Come on.”
Paul and his mom gathered up their stuff and then followed them up the trail. Thirty minutes later they were at the lookout and it was a spectacular view.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been here,” Paul’s mother said, walking to the edge with Paul following.
“You know the legend, right?” Jenny asked, raising her eyebrows.
“No,” Paul and his mother answered in unison.
Jenny clasped Larry’s hand and pulled him tight to her side. “The legend says that if lovers kiss up here they will be together forever.” Jenny looked over at Paul and Michelle frowning a little. Then she nodded, as if she had made a decision.
“That’s cute,” Paul’s mom said, absently.
“There’s more, though!” said Jenny, giggling.
Paul and his mother both gave Jenny their full attention.
“The legend continues, that if two lovers come up here and consummate their love, you know?” She said giving them an intense look. “If they do that, the seed that they plant will blossom into a blessed harvest. They say it always happens. This was like an ancient fertility temple or something.”
“What do you mean,” Paul said, stupidly.
“It means you two will make a baby,” Jenny giggled.
Paul turned beat red.
Jenny called them both over to the edge. “You two have never been up here?”
“No,” Paul and his mother both said at the same time.
“Then you have to kiss if you want to be together forever,” she said, turning towards Larry and kissing him passionately.
Paul and his mother stood there stupidly, until Jenny pulled her lips away from Larry’s and poked Paul’s mother in the ribs. “Come on you two,” she said, “get busy!”
Paul’s mother turned to him, grasping his hand. “Well, we have to play along, right,” she whispered, and then pressed her lips against Paul’s. Paul put his arms around her, loving the feeling of her huge breasts against his chest. He opened his mouth a little and his mother darted her tongue inside, just for an instant.
“Much better,” Jenny said from behind them.
Paul and his mother broke off their kiss, eyes locked on each other, breathing heavily. “Wow,” Paul mouthed.
His mother quickly grabbed his hand in hers and squeezed it.
“I told you there was something magical about this clearing,” Jenny said, happily. “I just knew there was a reason that we met up here today.”
“I’m feeling a bit tired,” Paul’s mother said. “I think we’d better head back.”
“Sure,” Jenny said. “I think we’re going to the top of the trail. See you too love birds later.” They headed up the trail, leaving Paul and his mother behind.
Michelle held her son’s hand all the way down the trail.
