It had been a long couple months waiting tables in California heat for ungrateful people, so when her mom suggested they take off to the condo for a week to unwind, Robyn jumped at the opportunity. They had a time shared condo just across the border and her mom was usually a lot of fun. Now that Robyn was legal drinking age, they could go into bars and clubs together, dance and karaoke and get shitfaced together. Robyn always thought of her mom as the “cool” mom. Her family always took her friends on trips and her childhood was always the portrait of perfection. Her dad was hilarious and her parents loved each other very much. About a year ago, Robyn had gotten married and they couldn’t have been happier for her. They threw the wedding on the golf course to which her dad was a member and flew all of her friends down and partied the night away. Her mom was there in the thick of it all night, dancing and drinking just like one of the girls. Of course it wasn’t until this trip that Robin realized just how “cool” she was.
They had been down in Mexico for only the day so far, enough time to unpack and go to the beach and as the evening hit they decided to go out to the nearest bar so they could get an early start on their relaxing. The bar had karaoke and a decent crowd and after a few drinks, Robyn decided to get up on stage. Her mom stayed in the audience at their table and cheered her on. As she got on stage, she noticed two guys come over to the table and start talking to her mom. It looked as though she was inviting them to have a seat and by the end of the song she looked like she was flirting with them, laughing and smiling.
Robyn knew her mom was very friendly and even a bit of a flirt. It was part of what made her so much fun to hang out with. As she approached the table she noticed that both men were in their early thirties which put them about ten year older than herself and about fifteen years younger than her mom. Both were of average looks and seemed fairly built. She sat down and her mom introduced them to her daughter and both smiled politely and said how nice it was to meet her. They seemed nice enough and Robyn quickly decided that there was nothing wrong with some harmless flirting and it would be nice to hang out with her mom like they were girlfriends.
After a few more rounds, the two men asked if they wanted to dance to which both women readily accepted. It felt odd to be on what was basically a double date with her mom, but Robyn knew they were both adults and both happily married. The two men, Rick and Bryce, were tourists as well and were only staying for the weekend. The conversation was becoming stale at the table, so jumping onto the dance floor was perfect! Robyn loved to dance and although her mom wasn’t a great dancer when she was drunk, she could hold her own. Both guys were good enough to keep up on the fast songs and eager to get close on the slow songs. Still, it was nice to get this much attention and Robyn drifted away in Bryce’s arms not really thinking about anything, just enjoying the feeling.
