Learning about mom's motivations

I woke up tired from the events of the past day. For once, I did not wake up hard. I rolled out of bed and pulled a random shirt on. I looked over at Amanda's house with an expression of worry. Her mom was someone I was going to have to worry about.

I walked down the steps and smelled my mother's glorious pancakes. I smiled, but wondered what I had done to deserve them. She only made them when there was something to celebrate.

"Hey mom, what is the occasion?" I looked at her questioningly.

"Well, sleepyhead, I went on a run with Kelly and Sara. Sara said she would happily come over here for Thanksgiving! I am making these to celebrate." She smiled happily as she handed me some pancakes with a large dollop of syrup.

Great, that is just what I need. Amanda's mom who wants to jump my bones when I have massive feelings for her daughter. Sara is such a hard woman to say no to, it won't be easy having her over here.

"Sounds fun, how was your run this morning with them? Hope it was nice." I sat down and began eating the pancakes.

"It was amazing. Kelly wanted me to tell you that Ben wants to hang out over at their house today with you." She sat down and also began to eat her pancakes.

"Yeah, I am looking forward to talking with him. Not like I can really talk to anyone else besides Amanda." I quickly finished eating and took a shower. I pondered Kelly talking to mom this morning while the hot water blasted my face. I wondered if she had something to tell me.

I changed my clothes and I headed down the stairs.

"Mom, I am going to head over to Ben's. I will be back in a few hours." I was walking out the door long before I heard her response.

Ben lives right down the street so I walked briskly to his house. I politely knocked on the door three times and waited. This is what I have done for years, ever since childhood. He has truly been my only friend. I heard some shuffling within the house and someone's footsteps pounding against the hardwood floor.

Kelly opened the door and smiled widely.

"Hey River, Ben is still sleeping, but feel free to come in." She gestured with her hand to let me in. Once I was inside her house, I sat on her living room couch. I looked towards her and I knew we needed to talk about Sara.

"So, mom brought up the idea of bringing Sara and Amanda over to my house for Thanksgiving. I know it is the neighborly thing to do, but it is not something my mom would typically do. All of the extra work and food involved especially. Can you tell me why she wants Sara over at my house for Thanksgiving?" I looked at her questioningly.

After she had sat down, Kelly looked at me amusingly. She chuckled slightly and pointed her finger at me.

"You have amazing intuition, River. Your suspicions are completely correct about your mom. You know, way back when, she actually seduced me and I have been with your mom ever since. She is very persuasive. It only took her a few months of talking to me to make me get in her bed." She said as if she were in a daze and recalling their first sexual experience.

"What makes you ok with it though? You don't want to keep my mom for yourself?" I was slightly confused as I could not imagine Kelly wanting my mother to be with someone else.

"Seducing Sara was a mutual decision. The latest development with Amanda made it easier for your mom to have Sara first rather than me." She looked a little bummed about that, but happy because she knew she would have her.

"Maybe you can actually help keep Sara away from me then." I said as I pondered how best to phrase the next part.

"River, I am no idiot, Sara wants you right?" I must have had a look of pure shock because she started laughing.

"River, absolutely any women, no matter their age, would want you. But I can see how dating her daughter would make things extremely complicated. Not to mention the fact that she is your next door neighbor. Hmmm, I think I can tell your mother what you just told me. Obviously, it will be phrased differently, but your mom will be protective and focus on seducing her." I was deeply thankful that Kelly understood the gravity of the situation.

"Thank you Kelly, I really do not want anything to happen with Sara. If my mom can keep her away from me, that is all I care about. Man, when is Ben going to wake up? It is almost 11." I was so curious as to why he was not awake.

"He's been awake. I just wanted you to talk to me for a little bit, I enjoy talking to you." I scoffed and went to hug her. I leaned down, but then she turned her chin and gently started to kiss me. I kissed back, but then kissed her forehead and backed up.

"Sorry River, you can just be so irresistible. Go up and have a fun time talking to Ben. I am sure you guys will talk about girls, movies and all other sorts of stuff." She smiled and wiggled her butt as she walked away from me.

We both agreed not to do anything with one another, but we both have a definite attraction to each other. I smiled after watching her lovely butt sashay away from me. I headed upstairs and was looking forward to spending time with Ben.
