Phase II.II- Date Night

As Daisy, a young Vietnamese woman in a blue, flowery sundress and huge purple hat with a vermillion on it, discussed her problems balancing her secretarial work with sharing homemaking responsibilities with her wife, Kat just sat in silence as Darryl attempted to demonstrate some techniques to achieve a work-life balance, with an emphasis on "life" (avoiding the stress of the former).

Even in today's ensemble, an orange button up shirt (That only emphasized her breasts), with a small black clincher belt and a white pleated thigh lengthskirt, her red hair doing a side part and wearing a white hat, her expression was concern. The events of last night weighed heavily on her. She couldn't believe she had been that reckless with her own son. Letting him see that!

At the same time, she couldn't help, but feel aroused by the entire affair. Her attraction to her son was growing and showing herself like that only made fumed the flames of that passion.

This inner conflict kept her both worried and aroused.

Finally, they wrapped up with Daisy, and Darryl moved to write the notes for the day. Kat nervously walked up to her son.

"Darryl?"

"Yeah, mom."

"About last night, I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking and it wasn't fair to you to have had to see that. I was so reckless, and I'm your mother, and...."

"Mom, mom," Darryl held her shoulders, stopping her. "It's fine, it's really fine. I get it."

Kat was baffled. "What?"

"You're a woman, you have urges that you haven't been able to satisfy. I know that your love life hasn't been great, and you need some sort of release. A way to release the pressure."

Kat was stunned. "Yeah, that... Yeah, I think that's it."

"That cheating son of a bitch, Jeff, deprived you of satisfaction, and you want it back."

"Hey, that's your father. Even if it's true." Kat giggled, relieved that her handsome son wasn't fazed at all by her display. "So, you're not upset?"

"Upset? I think it's great you're reclaiming your own sexuality! You're a beautiful woman and you need to celebrate that!"

"Oh, you" Kat slapped him slightly,

"In fact, I'd love to take that beautiful woman out on the town tonight."

"Well, I would love to. It's been way, way too long" Kat hadn't been on a real good date during her depressive period, and she was ready to go out again.

"Great. Shall we go around 6? I need to finish the work here."

"Sounds good. Gives me time to freshen up."

Darryl smiled as her mother descended down the stairs, wearing a turquoise-black polka dots 50's party dress with a matching jacket, hat and gloves. Her make-up made her face glow.

Darryl said nothing, just slowly drew his mother in closer and kissed her on the cheek. He wore a brown suit with a black tie.

"You really make a girl feel special." Kat reciprocated, kissing her son on the cheek.

Kat began searching through her purse.

"What are you doing?"

"Trying to find the keys."

Darryl smiled as he pulled out the keys. Kat shook her head and tried to grab them.

"Na-ah, remember, this is my treat, so I'm driving."

Kat just smiled and followed her son into their car.

They first went to a local Italian restaurant. It was pretty crowded, with other couples in evening wear.

They waited and were eventually seated. A short, thin waiter with a bushy mustache took their order.

"Hello, I'm Emmett, I'll be your server tonight, can I offer you some drinks?"

Kat and Darryl ordered, and Emmett left, but not before Darryl called him.

"I feel like I know you."

"I get that a lot. I'm mistaken for an actor with the same first name."

"Oh, which one?" Kat's interest was piqued.

Before he could answer, Darryl insisted, "No, I think I've met you before."

"Kid, I can guarantee, I have never met you in my life."

Darryl shrugged and Emmett headed to the kitchen. He brought his wrist up to his face.

"Deployed level 2. Will observe."

Meanwhile, Darryl and Kat wined and dined throughout the night. Then, Darryl took Kat to the movies. They had modern films, classics, and even these retro-style films that were made specifically by "Pleasantville Studios" (located in one of Stepford's many sister towns, in this case in Pleasantville, California) that were either mockbusters of popular modern films done in the 50's and 60's styles or just films done in the manner of the Golden Age of Film. They read as both period pieces and contemporary works, and supported the Stepford way of life.

They decided to see a romantic film, something that fit their mood. "Roses in the Attic" was a romantic comedy about a driven career woman played by a TV actress who had disappeared for some years who moves to the community of Green Hills (yet another Stepford sister community in Upstate Maine), and while she stumbles in her new environment, her big city, feminist ways are broken down by her new neighbors, particularly a handsome mechanic played by another washed up TV actor. By the end, she quits her previous job to become the mechanic's housewife.

Kat leaned on Darryl's shoulder as she watched the film, feeling his firm chest on her hands. Darryl reciprocated by putting his shoulder over Kat's. During one scene where the mechanic is spanking the lead actress, Darryl moved his hand to feel his mom's body. As the mechanic spanked the lead, forcing her to count and ask for more, Darryl moved his hand up to his mom's breast. Kat definitely noticed, and definitely didn't care.

After the film was over, it was a slow drive all across town to see all the sights. The 50's inspired store fronts, the beautiful light displays, the people walking around. It was beautiful. The two watched the displays in awe.

"Thank you for such a wonderful time." Kat hugged her son after they came back inside.

"Anything for you, Mom."

"It was so incredible. I haven't felt like this in a very long time."

"You deserve only the best."

So do you. Kat didn't know if it was just the emotions of the situation or something else, but she decided to do something bold to reward her son.

She pulled him down by his tie and kissed him hard and long. They chewed each other's lips and tongues as they kissed. After about a minute, they stopped, and Kat went back to her room.

Darryl stood there, absolutely elated. Things were going according to plan.

And he was now full and clear to take the final steps.
