“Remember mom, Saturday was the day you and dad were carrying on, and with our carrying on yesterday, I never got the chance. It’s something you tell right away or not at all. Unless it comes up.”
“Fair enough.” Mom answered.
“What’s this about you and Justin?” Aunt Jess asked with great interest. Mom gestured her sister to sit, then sat also.
“Jeremy, I made some iced tea. Why don’t you get your aunt and I a glass? I suppose you could have a glass too, this concerns you as well.”
That sounded very ominous.
I went into the kitchen, and I admit I tried to overhear what was said. It was only about mom and dad’s big night and Aunt Jess describing our anal encounter. Boring huh? I returned and set the glasses next to the women. I sat in dad’s recliner until mom’s fiery glare made me move. I sat on the loveseat while they sat at either end of the couch. Mom proceeded to tell Aunt Jess about dad’s trip and the fact that she had refused to accompany him. Aunt Jess looked to me with a question in her eye.
“I’m not going either. Not with school almost finished.”
She looked back at mom.
“I didn’t refuse to go just so we could have sex all weekend!” Mom answered her sister’s unvoiced comment. “Not that we won’t. But it’s not why I said no. The kids have perfect attendance and are proud of that. I’m not taking them out of school so we can sit at a resort while Justin is golfing and drinks all day without us. If it was a family trip I might be more willing to agree, but it’s a work trip that they are bringing families so they don’t feel guilty about it. I won’t agree to token trip like that.”
“As nice as it sounds, it is pretty crappy that all the wives will be babysitting kids all day while the guys actually have a vacation!” Aunt Jess agreed.
I didn’t think that the trip was what they were making it out to be, but I wasn’t going to argue with either of them. And if it got me a weekend with mom and her sister, I would agree to pretty much anything! So I simply nodded to their complaints.
“But what about Johnny and Jojo? We can’t do much with them still here.”
“You’re as bad as Jeremy, Jess! Already planning on the togas and the tequila aren’t you?” Mom asked rhetorically. Togas and tequila? I was in!
“Tell me you’re not as excited at the prospect as we are?” Aunt Jess asked less rhetorically, but still not expecting an answer. “We could take them to mom’s! I’m sure she’d love to see the kids for the weekend!”
“We can’t do that Jess. They’d tell their dad about being with grandma and when they were the reason I made about not going it would look suspicious for me not going with him. Not that he would suspect the truth. I hope.”
“But mom you told dad it was because of Friday and Monday. If you say grandma asked to see them on Saturday and Sunday, your excuse is still valid and we can have our weekend free. I’m sure they both would love to see Grandma Sharon.”
“I’m not dumping my kids off at my mother’s so I can have a debauchery filled two days with my sister and my son!” Mom said defiantly. To me it sounded like a perfect plan!
