He has this way of making me escape with him, to put everything else aside and just be us. A man and a woman who were exploring each other in the best of ways. I’d learned more things sexually with him in one week than I had in my few years’ experience.
And it wasn’t just the sex. Had it been, maybe I could’ve been able to fully relax and enjoy but with each passing day I found myself falling more and more in love with him.
And so it was that by the time Saturday came around and it was time to go his parents’ home, I was a mess. “Would you stop being so nervous? They’re just the two people who gave me life nothing to be so worried about.”
Easy for him to say. If I hadn’t already suspected what kind of lifestyle they must lead having been wealthy all their lives, when I went digging into who they are I only gave myself palpitations.
Although I’d grown up around wealth, I’d never been anywhere near as wealthy as they are. And I’d never really fit in with the children of the wealthy for obvious reasons I suppose.
My extra pounds had been a shield in my growing up years. A shield that kept everyone else away unless they were there to bully and poke fun at the fat girl with the chubby cheeks. As a child who always had a little bit of extra weight it was the story of my life that had followed me into my college years where I finally learned not to care too much
But I know the workings of the minds of the wealthy moms with the hot sons. If you’re not from the right family with the right looks, it doesn’t matter how much money you have, as long as they have some of their own that is.
But instead of being the judge and jury, I let myself be talked into believing things would be different this time around. I should’ve known better.
I got my first clue that the day was off to a rocky start when he saw the line of cars in his parents’ driveway and cussed beneath his breath. The look on his face wasn’t too pleasant either.
Then when the elegant woman who was his mother greeted us at the door, she made it a point not to seem too welcoming to me, after fawning all over him.
My next zinger came when she introduced me as one of her son’s little friends from the city. I would’ve been really hurt had he not been as upset as I was. But from the way his jaw was ticking away, I knew he hadn’t missed what was going on. Not that she’d been very subtle.
JONAS
“I can’t believe you did that, what are you thinking?” I was trying really hard not to think the worst of my mother right now, but it wasn’t as easy as it had been in the past.
I’ve seen her do some questionable things before, but always put them aside as just a very strong woman looking out for her family, but what she just did to my Stephanie was unacceptable.
“What’s the big deal son? That’s what she is isn’t she? I mean you can’t seriously be thinking of anything else.” I’d cornered her in the greenhouse where she’d disappeared to after embarrassing the hell out of me with her stunt.
“As a matter of fact, I am. What’s gotten into you? Since when do you act this way?”
“I’ve always been this way son. How do you think I’ve kept you safe from all those money grubbing women who like to hang around you? And this one, when I heard the news I almost fainted.”
“What news?” She pruned a young plant meticulously like she wasn’t at all bothered that I was pissed off. “Well, once you let it slip that you’d left before the auction I asked some questions. I deduced from what I learned that you bought this person.”
“Mom, stop it. It wasn’t like that. Me bidding on her was no different than if I’d bid on Jenna, or any other woman that was there that night.”
“But she wasn’t part of the auction…”
“It doesn’t matter, she’s the one I chose.”
I raised my voice at her for the first time in my life. “Is this how you’ve learned to speak to your mother? Does this come from the time you’ve spent with her sort?”
“I’m so disappointed in you.” I shook my head as I turned away.
“Where are you going Jonas, this afternoon is for you. You haven’t seen your friends in a while.” I kept walking, not even a little bit sorry at the way I was about to leave things. I can’t believe that the woman I’d always seen as so genteel harbored such ideas in her head. Disgusting.
