An uneventful lunch

Lunch passed fairly uneventful, and before they realized it Arnold and Spencer had to leave again.

"Tarquin, need a ride from old dad?" Arnold asked as he was gathering his things and looking for the car keys. As Spencer quickly hugged his mom and runs outside. Tarquin shakes his head, "Nah dad, my class got canceled, but I do have some homework stuff to work on, so I'll just stay here." he says as he puts the last bite of his lunch in his mouth.

Arnold looks at Tarquin with doubt and then looks at Brenda. She notices her husbands look but just shakes her head as she walks up to him and gives him a kiss. "We'll talk about it tonight, I have already taken care of it." She says as she gives him another quick kiss. "Now go, Spencer is getting impatient!" "Alright honey, see you later." And with that he finds the car keys, which are exactly where he always puts them, and closes the door behind him.

As the car drives off Tarquin starts moving towards the stairs to head up to his room. "Wait a second sweety... Look... We need to talk about what happened before." Brenda says as she motions for her son to come sit on the sofa with her.

Tarquin takes a moment, shakes his head and with a sigh walks over to the sofa. Brenda sits down and he sits next to her.

"Alright mom, what do you want to talk about?" Tarquin said, trying to play cool, but his mother could see that he was actually quite scared about what she was going to say.

"Look... Like I said before we did what we did, this was supposed to be a one time deal." Brenda began but Tarquins mind repeated the phrase and found something weird. "this was supposed to be.... supposed to be?" He thought to himself, but he said nothing and continued to listen to what his mother was telling him. "I love you sweety, and what you did for me was something I really needed. But no matter what, this can't happen regularly! ...." She paused, looking at the confused but interested look on her son's face. "...However I realize that we both have needs, so, if-" "Mom... Are you saying that we can do that again?" Tarquin interjected. Shocked at how direct her son was being Brenda swallowed the slightly nervous clump in her throat. "Yes... Yes I'm saying we can do that again. But! Only when we're alone, and only with a good reason or a special occasion!"

Brenda's face slowly turned red as she realized what she had just said. She had just told her son that they could preform sexual acts on each other sometimes! "You've really done it now Brenda, and there is NO way you can take this back! ....Although maybe you don't really want to anyway?" Brenda thought to herself. Tarquin on the other hand was thinking about all the possible reasons that would count as good reasons and special occasions! "My birthday? HER Birthday? Getting an A or A+?" and the list went on. Just thinking about all of this Tarquin was getting quite excited again but his mother quickly snapped him back to reality.

"Now, do we have a deal?" Brenda asked looking her son directly into his eyes. "I promise mom, and I wont tell anyone about this!" He said. Brenda slapped him on the back of his head "Of course you wont tell anyone you idiot" she said and then gave him a big hug. "Now, go upstairs and work on that homework."

After leaving his mothers embrace, Tarquin got up and went to his room. Leaving his mother downstairs on the sofa, wondering if he actually had any homework or if he had something else to do. "Oh well" she thought with a slight smirk appearing on her face, "If it's not homework, at least he's earned doing whatever he's spending his time on!"

Brenda went back into the kitchen to clean up after lunch. Putting all the used tableware in the dishwasher and putting away everything else. During her cleaning Brenda glanced at the calender hanging on the fridge and noticed that something was written in for today. Dinner with Sue and Clive at that new burger restaurant downtown was written down for this evening and Brenda panicked! "Oh shit! That was tonight?!" she yelled, apparently loud enough for Tarquin to hear her and moments later he came downstairs wondering what was going on. "Mom? What are you yelling about?" He asked.

"Hey sweety, I completely forgot that your dad and I are going out with Sue and her husband this evening. Can you babysit your brother?" Upon hearing this Tarquin let out a heavy sigh, "I kinda had plans to meet up with a friend tonight, but if it's all right with you, I'm sure we could hang out here and keep an eye on Spencer. I am after all very convincing!" he said.

"Oh? Which friend?" Brenda asked, turning on the dishwasher and slowly coming out of the kitchen looking at her son who tried to avoid her gaze slightly. "Oh, you know, Marian..." "Marian? Do I know Marian?" "No mom, you haven't met her, she's a new student who joined my class, like, two weeks ago I think" Tarquin explained. "Well... Alright honey, just don't do anything weird when Spencer is around, can you promise me that much?" Brenda says walking up to her son and looking him in the eyes.

Tarquin looked at his mother with a raised eyebrow "What? Of course, what do you think I would do with him around?" he said. She smirked, "Look kid," she teased "I have now seen your true colours and you're a massive pervert. In more ways than one. You were never good at lying to me about these things and now even less so!" Tarquin turned red with embarrassment and a bit of rage, even after all that had happened earlier his mother had gone straight back to being a massive tease.

"Mom, I'm not even sure if she's up for it yet, and even if she is that's none of your business. Now, I promise that I wont do anything weird as long as Spencer is around, but other than that, it's between me and Marian." he said with a sort of demanding tone in his voice. All Brenda could do was start giggling, "Alright sweety," she said and gave him a quick peck on the cheek "just wanted to know if I'd have to share you on the same day we started our little arrangement!" she continued and then quickly passed him and went upstairs to go prepare for the evening. "Come on Brenda, that might have been a bit too far! Need to calm it down a bit, don't want him to try and come up with 'reasons' to come get some action from mommy..."

"Oh and honey, that girl better be here before your dad and I leave!" Brenda shouted from her bedroom. "Yeah yeah..." was the only answer she got from a tired Tarquin climbing the stairs to go back to his room, doing whatever it was he was doing.
