Mondays

Dan woke first and got up as gently as he could. His mother seemed to stay asleep when he checked back on her before heading to the bathroom. In the shower, he tried to take care of himself, but it was taking too long without some sort of stimulation. With a frustrated grunt, he got out of the shower and toweled off.

"Morning, dear," Laura greeted from the bed.

"Morning. I'm running a little behind schedule."

"Oh, well, try to have a good day. I'm going to pop by the laundromat. I'll need to make sure everything is clean for work and I should clean... well, we've slept in the same sheets. Might as well get it done at the same time."

"Right," Dan agreed with a shrug as he slipped on his shoes and ran a hand through his wet hair. The uncomfortable restriction of his boxers made him grunt and adjust himself. He realized he'd done it in full view of his mother. "Ah, I'll be off," he muttered.

Ms. Carmen stopped him as he clocked in. "You're in Chemicals today," she said as her eyes roamed over his face. "You look exhausted. Is everything okay?"

Dan debated telling her about his problems, but didn't see how it would help anything. "I'm good," he shrugged.

Ms. Carmen pursed her lips before nodding. "My door is open if you do need to talk," she said before going back to her paperwork.

The day went by faster than he could hope for. No one bothered him and his freight was light. He texted Alica on break.

Dan: How did the project go?

Alicia didn't respond for a while and when she did, he was on the floor working. While on lunch, he had a chance to check his phone.

Alicia: My stupid roommate decided to get drunk and forget about the project. She came home looking like this!

Dan scrolled to see the photo attached. It of a leggy blonde laying halfway off the bed. Her black panties were visible, wrapped around one thigh, below the hem of her tight black dress. One strap had fallen down her shoulder to reveal a lot of her modest breast.

Dan: She looks to have had fun

Alicia: She looks like she got more than she bargained for. I'm not going to send you what else I found when I got her in bed, but she better wisen up or she'll end up preggers.

Dan: You think she was ... you know?

Alicia: ****? No, she's done this once before. Dumb slut can't drink without losing her panties.

Dan wasn't sure how he felt about Alicia's blunt description of her roommate.

Dan: Other than that, how is your day?

Alicia: Pretty good. Off work. Had an early shift. Walking to class now.

Dan: I've got another four-ish hours. FML

Alicia: You'll get through it. Here

Dan smiled when he saw a selfie of Alicia appear. She stood in front of a tree, her brunette hair tied up in a ponytail on top of her head. Strands of hair fell across her face as obviously a gust of wind had blown just as she took the picture. She wore a v-neck red top that showed off her cleavage and he could see down her shirt a little from the angle.

Dan: You look amazing! Love the top.

Alicia: You would. lol. I need to get into class. ttyl

Dan: Have a good one

"Hey dear," Laura greeted from the kitchen. "How was your day?"

"It went really well, actually," Dan said as he dropped his keys on the counter and kicked off his shoes. "How was your day?"

"Oh, I puttered around for a bit. Made a few calls. Amanda stopped by for a while and we talked and talked. It was really nice. Oh, she forgot her plate. Could you run it over to her really quickly? The door across from us."

"Sure," Dan said and picked up the plate. Still in his socks, he knocked on their neighbor's door. Less than a minute later, the door swung inward to Amanda in wearing a black bra that barely contained her modest chest, a garter belt and stockings, and lacy black panties. "Did you come to take me up on my offer?" she giggled before her eyes went wide. "Oh, sorry, Dan. I thought you were your mother," she finished with a laugh.

Dan tried to smile as his eyes wandered back up to Amanda's face. "Sorry," he greeted. "Mom just wanted me to return this," he said, looking into her eyes.

"Thank you, I was going to come over to get it tomorrow,"

Amanda said with another laugh. "I'm about to go out for the night," she confided with a smile.

Dan couldn't help it and checked out her body again. She didn't seem to feel ashamed about showing it off. He glanced down at her panties again.
