Opposites Attract

9. Release

It was Saturday morning and Brody hadn't gotten much sleep because he had been up texting Mrs. Gaskins all night. They hadn't been able to be alone with each other yet but that was about to change. He was drawn out of bed by the smell of breakfast wafting up the stairs into his room. It was not uncommon for his mom to fix a big breakfast for them on the weekends. He looked forward to it and was disappointed on the days she couldn't. Brody walked into the kitchen and saw his mom already putting the food on plates and placing them on the counter.

"Oh good, you're up! I was just about to call you down." Holly greeted her son.

"Smells delicious mom! I'm starving." He sat down beside her and dug in.

Holly smiled. She loved to cook for her son. He had a big appetite so her food never went to waste. "So I got a call from your grandma last night."

"Oh yeah? How is she?"

"She sounded great on the phone! I was actually thinking about driving down to visit her for a few days. I wouldn't get back until Tuesday. Would you be okay staying here alone for a few days?"

"Of course mom. You do realize I'm 18 right?"

I know! But I'm your mom so I'll always worry."

"Well, it's not like I'm some party animal so you don't have to worry about any wild parties or orgies taking place in your house." He laughed.

"Well, I certainly hope not!" She laughed with him.

Then it hit him! I have the house to myself for almost three days! This is perfect, I'll invite Mrs. Gaskins over for the best weekend of our lives. He wanted to text her right now but he didn't want it to look obvious he was inviting someone over after the news he just received.

"So what time are you leaving mom?"

"In a hurry for me to leave?"

"Now why would I want the best mother in the world who just fixed me this wonderful breakfast to leave?" 

"Awe! Nice try but I was 18 once." She winked at him. "In all seriousness though, probably around noon."

Brody cleaned his plate. "Breakfast was awesome! Think I'll jump in the shower."

"Okay sweetie, I'm gonna start packing."

Brody rushed upstairs where he sat on his bed and pulled out his phone to text Mrs. Gaskins. Good news!  He texted and waited for a reply.

Mary was still in bed half asleep when she was awoken by the ding of her phone. She couldn't help but be filled with excitement when she saw it was a text from Brody. Instead of replying with a text she dialed his number, needing to hear that deep sexy voice of his.

"Hey, beautiful," Brody answered.

"Good morning baby! What's the good news you have for me?" Mary replied unable to hide the excitement in her voice.

"My mom is going on a three-day trip and she's leaving at noon. How soon can you get here this afternoon?"

"How's 12:01 pm sound?" She giggled.

"That might be cutting it a little close!" He laughed with her.

"In all seriousness though, I can be there at 1 pm."

"Sounds good to me!" He answered with excitement, her sultry voice turning him on.

"Guess I better start getting ready. I want to look perfect for my man."

"You look perfect every moment of your life."

"I wish!" She giggled as she was flattered by his compliment. "See you soon sweetie!"
