“How did your day go, Josh?” I had a mouth full of pizza and pointed to my bulging jaws and smiled and chewed faster. I grabbed some more Pepsi to wash it down with. “Don’t eat so fast, Josh!” she commanded.
“Hey, I was just trying to be able to tell you how my day went. Some really interesting things happened that you should know about.”
“Oh? How could something at your high school be about me unless you got into some sort of trouble. Tell me you didn’t get sent home or such.” She had a somewhat inquiring yet demanding tone to her voice.
“Relax, mom, If anything I saved the day for you but it cost me. I don’t care because I really didn’t like Sean anyway. I think he is a pile of cow shit now for what he did and what he tried to do to you.”
“Josh, don’t use that word ‘shit’ again. You know better than use that kind of language. Especially here at home.” She was turning red in the face with disgust. “So what is this ‘saving my day’ thing that got you and Sean on the outs?”
“Well, mom, let me start with this morning. You know I ran out of the house without breakfast this morning. Now don’t interrupt me by telling me I shouldn’t have done that. I got some breakfast at Sean’s from his mom.” I now saw a way how I could talk to her with a minimum of hurt.
I had to get over to his house really fast. I didn’t sleep much last night worrying about what I needed to do to save your ‘ass’. Yea, and I’m going to use that word because that is literally what I did. Don’t say anything, mom. ” I commanded. “I have to tell you this my way.”
I took a drink of Pepsi and looked her straight in the eye. “I had to get Sean’s cell phone and erase the pictures he took last night of you and him fucking on the couch.”
She gasped and turned pale.
“Yea, I literally saved your ass, your marriage, our family and everything we have together. What a fool you were and he recorded all.” She dropped her eyes. “How much do you know about what we did?” she asked me.
“Mom, I saw it all. Incidentally, you got a magnificent set of tits.” I grinned as she looked up at me.
“Oh Gawd” is all she could say as she pushed her plate away and put her forhead on the table and cried.
“Josh, I was such a fool. What can be done now that I made the worst mistake of my whole life and you saw it.” She was now crying.
“I have been beside myself with anxiety and worry all day and now I know it was all for real. Everything is gone because of my stupidity”. She just sobbed. I felt so sorry for her. I had never seen her cry before. She had always been so strong and so in control and now she was an emotional wreck.
“Mom,” I reached over and shook her shaking shoulder. “Hang on, not everything is lost. Listen to what I did to save you and us.” She looked up with tears streaming down her cheeks.
“There is nothing that can be done, Josh. Nothing. This is the worst day of my life. I just want to die and disappear off the face of the earth”. She laid her head down on the table again, covering her head with her hands, still sobbing.
