Charlie graduated from high school and was going to college this fall. He was built just like his father when I first met him. He had more than his share of girls chasing after him but he was hung up on a cute little blond named Carla. I am pretty sure they were already having sex as they spent too much time alone. Mike never had the father son talk with him and I only told him to be careful. When has telling a eighteen year old boy not to have sex ever worked?
Charlie and I were really close as I was always the one taking him places and to his ball games. When he was little he would curl up in my arms and watch TV until bed time. When I tucked him in bed I always kissed him gently on the lips. As he grew older he still snuggled up close to me and he always kissed me goodnight and good morning as well as each time he came or left home; right on the lips. Even now he kisses me that way. I wouldn’t have it any different.
We had our own back yard pool and the two of us spent a lot of time each summer in it. I have kept my body in good shape all these years. After all, Mike still needs some arm candy from time to time. This last summer Charlie and I spent a lot of time together. I always wear a bikini. I do still like to show off to Charlie’s friends. I know he likes to see his friends look at me, just like his father.
This is where the story really gets started. Mike and I decided to go to one of the resort islands for a couple of weeks. Just the two of us with Charlie staying home. Sex had been really slow for some time now and we thought it might perk us up a little. We were leaving in a couple of weeks and I asked Charlie if he would go shopping with me.
I picked up a few sports outfits I liked and carried them back to the dressing rooms to try them on. Charlie waited outside the door. I would put on one outfit and open the door so he could see them. He would give a thumbs up or down and I would move on to the next one. I liked the look in his eyes when he liked something I had on. I purchased some of them and we went across the mall for a drink.
“Thank you for coming with me. It is always better to have a second opinion.”
“No problem Mom, I like watching you try on clothes.”
“Most guys wouldn’t be caught dead shopping with their Mom.”
He winked at me. “Most guys don’t have a sexy Mom like mine.”
I laughed, “You think I’m sexy?”
He just laughed at me, “Well, I’m not sure but I’ll know after our next stop.”
“Next stop?” I have what I came after.”
“Oh no, you haven’t bought a swim suit yet. You can’t go to the islands without a new bikini or two.”
“I have swim suits.”
“Not like the ones you are going to buy today. Today you get the sexy ones for your trip.”
“Just how sexy do you think they are going to be?”
“Come on lets go try them on. I will tell you which ones to buy.”
Like the other store I picked out a couple of suits and carried them to the dressing room. I slipped one on and it was almost like the ones I always wore around home. It was a bikini so it was a little sexy but not like some of the others. I opened the door where Charlie could see me. I turned around and let him see the back. He gave a thumbs down. I tried another and got the same thumbs down. I had one more to try and when I came out he gave it a thumbs down. “What is wrong with these?”
