My Mother's Secret - A Sequel To The Summer of 1993

She Was Most Definitely Glowing

It was warm when I got up, but not warm enough for the snow to melt. Johnny was still asleep. Sam said, "He will be in good hands. Don't worry." I smiled. I am having pizzas and pop delivered. Can't drink there but we can do guy things. Damn, he is handsome. He looks like Johnny," he said. Bobby smiled. Last night we had sex and it woke Bobby up. He covered his head. It reminded me of my mom and dad when they argued and Jackie got scared. Thwt happened a lot. She and I slept in the same bed a lot. Dad called me a "little lesbian". Dad would always tell my mom how he thought I was retarded. "Susan, she is retarded, I am telling you," he would tell my mom.  My dad was so mean to me.   "She hangs on and cuddles Jackie so much.  I hope she doesn't do things to her," he would tell my mom.   My mom blew him off. 

   I got to church and her car was not there yet.  I got Bobby out of the back seat where all the old ladies could flirt with him and he flirted back.  She walked to the Sunday school class.  She bounced Bobby on her knees.  The ladies were in love.  In walked her mom.  She looked different, glowing.   "Now we can begin," Judy Draper said.   Mom sat down.  She smelled good.  She looked happier than I have pad ever seen her.  People noticed.  Her creeper noticed.   He liked her.  He would write her a nasty, graphic message to her.  They went to church.  After church they went to lunch.  She fed Bobby.  "Let me tell you, I would be a baby factory if I married Johnny." 

   "Speaking of that, we had to change the sheets," I told her.
"Yeah.  It was JUST like when we used to screw, and when I came, I came so hard, ingot him off.  I never came with your dad."
"You always looked like you wanted to get it over with,"
"True."
"So, what are you going to do."
"I will never seer him again.  Plus, I am 51." 
"Women in their fifties HAVE gotten pregnant,"
"Yeah, right.  I am still waiting to be paroled.  You know, he told me he was ill and going to die, and Incas so happy.  It has been seventeen years and he's still here."
"You need to divorce him.   Thunk of how happy you will be."
"And all the creeper cock after me."
"Mom, they think you are beautiful.  You can't fault them for that."
"But I din't find them beautiful."   I stopped the conversation.  

   My mom kept my dad alive.  She kept him in a house.  God would bless her for sure.  She was his servant, not his wife.  She never got a Christmas present like normal wives.  She never got diamonds.  I wanted my mom to be happy.  I changed the  subject to the wig world.  Mom said she got some new ones.   "I love the colors, BUT I can't share until the line is released."  My needed it start a wig shop.  We went to Target.  She got Bobby a few things and then we kissed each other goodbye and she went home.  

   The house was quiet when I got home.  I got into the twin bed and took a nap as Bobby napped.  I napped until they got home.   They played pool until three.  Thwt night, Johnny left.  He said, "I will be in contact soon.  It as wonderful to get to know you.   It was nice to get closure with your mom.  I am going to see her for a short bit, but it was great to see her.  We will talk now.  After all, we are your parents."  He hugged us all goodbye and we were in for an interesting ride.
