2020-12-08 07:26:20When Lance woke up, he was sprawled on the bed with no idea of the time. The room was just beginning to get illuminated by the light of dawn and he was buck naked, lying on his back on the queen-sized bed in... not his room for sure.
Then the memories of the previous evening rushed into his head. He was in Cara's room. He remembered the marathon sex they had and how they both fell asleep due to sheer exhaustion. But right now, she wasn't at his side and he wasn't surprised. She must have come to her senses and become flooded by guilt, the same guilt he was feeling. Or perhaps it was hate, hatred for him and for what he had done? Would she report him to his mother? Oh, his mother! He jumped off the bed and went in search of his clothes.
He found his shirt on Cara's cosmetics kit and both his trousers and boxers near the door. He searched his trouser pockets for his phone as he looked around for his shoes. He found the right leg under the bed and the left one right behind the door just as he saw the missed calls from his mom. Quickly, he jumped into his clothes and went out of the room in search of Cara.
He had started out in a hurry, but as he approached the sitting room, he had to slow down. His heart pounded in anxiety. In what state would he find her? How would she react towards him? Would she even respond to him? He knew that given what had happened, things would never be the same between them, but just how bad would it get? Still, no matter what, he had to face her.
Taking a deep breath, he strolled into the sitting room, ready to face an angry Cara. He walked in, almost noiselessly, eyes down, but when he heard no sound, he was half-hopeful and raised his eyes. She was not there. His first thought was that perhaps she was in the kitchen or the bathroom, so he went back to try both places.
But she was in neither of them. Now where the hell was she? Outside? He went outside, walked round the building, but still no sign of her. He could call her, but he didn't have her number. He thought about leaving a note, but decided against it. What was he going to say anyway? He didn't even know her current state of mind and he wasn't going to risk making things worse than they already were.
**
Only when she heard the sound of his car speeding off did Cara decide to climb down from the attic. Even though she was sure that he had not come back into the house, she still tread carefully and noiselessly.
When she was completely satisfied that he was nowhere around, she allowed herself to breathe a huge sigh of relief. She could not bear to face him after what they had done last night. Yes, he started it, but she took over at some point. The thought that he could have forced her if she hadn't gone along did nothing to lessen her guilt.
She was the one to blame. The boy was just a randy teenager ruled by crazy hormones. She was the adult. The one who should have stopped things before they went too far, or should have tried to at least. She knew very well that if history were to repeat itself, she'd make the same mistake again. The truth was that she just could not control herself around that boy and she hated it! Did she really? Well, she wasn't very sure. But one thing was sure: if his mother ever found out, that woman would hate her for life!
*****
Lance rushed into the house and found his mother in the middle of the sitting room, pacing back and forth with her phone in her hand and a worried look on her face. He stopped and stared, wondering what on earth he'd use as an excuse. Just as she brought the phone up to dial a number, she caught sight of him.
"Lance! Where've you been? Are you okay?"
She rushed to him, clearly relieved to see him.
"I was at a friend's," Lance croaked.
"What friend? I called all your friends, none of them knew where..."
"A new friend. Just someone I met recently."
"So why didn't you call to say you were staying over? I was just about to go crazy with worry."
"Sorry, Mom. I was uh.. ahem.. a little tipsy."
"You've been drinking?", she shrieked, shocking Lance and almost making him stagger. He had expected such a reaction, but not so suddenly. Hands on her waist, she fixed him with a stern glare and he quickly lowered his eyes to avoid receiving a 500Newton slap. After a while, she stomped off in the direction of the kitchen.
He waited for a minute before going after her. He walked into the kitchen looking the very model of submission and contrition. His mother paid him no attention; she was scrubbing the plates with a set face as if she had a long-standing grudge against them. Making sure to keep enough distance between them, Lance went about cleaning the kitchen counter and any other surface he could find. When he was done and there was nothing else to clean, he sidled up to her and whispered, "I'm sorry, Mom."
She said nothing, but he could see that her face was a little more relaxed.
"What can I do to make it up to you?", he asked meekly.
"Really?", she turned to look at him, a smile playing at the corner of her lips.
Lance knew he had just bought himself an enormous luggage, but he couldn't take back the words. Even if he could, he wouldn't. Anything was better than an angry Carol. So he swallowed, and braced himself for what he knew was coming.
"Yeah," he nodded with confidence he wasn't feeling.
"Okay then. I want the entire lawn mown."
"Okay," he said quietly and walked out.
Carol continued with what she was doing as if she hadn't noticed his exit. When she could no longer hear his footfalls, she allowed the long-withheld smile to engulf her face. Who would've thought? Lance had actually agreed to mow the lawn, something he had never agreed to do in the past! This would certainly save her a few bucks. Finally, she would get some compensation for all her anxiety!

"Where is he?", Lance asked his friend as he squinted at the small football pitch. "Can't see him.""Over there," Rex said, pointing to a young boy wearing the No. 11 shirt."Oh yeah? He sure looks like Diego Maradona.""A bit taller, though," Rex shrugged as he gulped the rest of his water.Lance laughed at the remark and leaned back to enjoy the game which was just about to begin. They were among other parents, guardians and family members seated in the stands, watching their little men play in the school's football practice match. Lance and Rex had been coaching Rex's little brother, Chase, for weeks and they had promised to drop by to cheer him on and watch him score as many goals as he could."Go get 'em, Chase!", Rex hailed and hooted from the stands as the whistle was blown for kick-off.But trouble began immediately. He and Lance kept their eye on Chase as he tried to fight off an opponent who was trying

Lance was still in mourning three days after his confirmation of Cara's hatred for him. If she still hadn't told his mother about what they.. he.. had done, then perhaps she never would. But that didn't stop him from regretting his actions that evening. He spent two days trying to figure out what he could have done differently. It was on the third day that he realized that there was nothing he could have done differently, but one thing he should never have done: going to her house for no sensible reason. One thing he knew though was that he owed her an apology, but when would he ever have the chance to deliver it?**His eyes on the ground, Lance was focused on kicking anything and everything in sight as he approached his home. He had just finished playing in a high-stake tennis match which he had lost 6-0 6-3 to a neighbor and longtime rival. On a good day, he would have easily floored Dennis, but the whole situation with Cara had completely thrown him off form.

Lance was happy with his work of developing software and web design, though he knew that someday he'd have to go to college, just to satisfy his mom. She was bent on him getting a degree. He thought she was old school, but the truth was that she feared that the ease with which he was making money now would be the same ease with which he would not be able to make such money in the near future. She really did not fully understand what he was doing, but she had the firm belief that whatever came easy left easy.Lance would be 20 in a few days and Carol wanted to at least have a party for him at the house. A real party. One where he'd be given the chance to invite everyone he'd like to invite. She was proud of him and she wanted him happy, even though he wasn't making her very happy by still not applying for college, but she wouldn't stop reminding him.She wanted to tell the entire neighborhood that her son and only child wasn't a good-for-nothing lazy bum.

"Haven't seen him since he dropped me off last night... Perhaps... Yeah, try that... Okay... Don't worry, he'll turn up soon enough... Denada."Then she dropped the phone and turned to look at Lance who was just then walking into the kitchen and throwing on his shirt."Your mom's looking everywhere for you," she said, eyeing his naked torso."Yeah. Umm.. how's Lisa?""She's fine. At my sister's. She'll be back this afternoon."He simply nodded and with no idea of what else to say, he padded toward the door."Won't you eat something?", Cara asked from behind."Umm.. no. I'm fine. Thanks."Then he pulled open the door. Cara thought he was gone, but when she didn't hear the door close, she looked up, only to find him staring back at her. That look, it was the look that made her feel all the wrong, sweet things in all the wrong, sweet places. She swallowed or rather, tried to as she h

It'd been well over a month since the last time Lance spent the night in Cara's bed. Within this period, they'd grown closer in more ways than one, but not close enough for Cara to be careless. That was why she always came up with excuses whenever he asked to spend the night at her place. On those days when she couldn't get out of it without promising something, she would agree to sex in his car or hers, parked in a quiet, deserted area.On one such days, they were almost caught by a policeman whom she knew, if not for Lance's agility in jumping to the driver seat and driving out of the area before the cop could find out exactly what had caused the car to vibrate so much. After that narrow escape, Cara swore there and then never again to be fully naked while having sex in a car.But that was far from being the only thing they engaged in. Dinner and going to the movies were other things they did too, always at night of course, to reduce the risk of being seen by someone

Cara had just finished inspecting the work the young man had done on the pool. It wasn't a good job, it was a superb job! By himself, he had done what she never believed two people could do, and in less time too.Getting someone to clean the pool was something she had been postponing day after day just as she had been postponing getting enough exercise to trim down the excess fat that was now building up in her body. She had always been chubby, but certainly not obese and she had no wish to make the progression.Waking up this morning, she had suddenly felt the need to do something physical. But when she looked out of her window at the pool, it was a mess! There was no way in hell she'd consider swimming in such a gutter. Long disuse had turned it into exactly that: an unkempt gutter. So she quickly picked up her phone and dialed the guy that mowed her lawn, fixed her faucet and other such odd jobs around the house. She was relieved when he told her that he

**FEW MONTHS LATER**Lance had been struck by surprise when his mother invited him to accompany her to her friend's birthday party, which would also double as a get-together of classmates of a girls community college that Carol and the celebrant had both attended. Lance was supposed to wear a tuxedo, certainly not something he did often. But the worst part was the bow tie. Carol had only given him a few hours notice, asking him to wear this and that, and look such and such. So the poor young man began prancing about in front of a computer screen an hour before the 8pm attendance time. Apparently, the DIY YouTube videos were not so easy to follow. His mother soon noticed his dilemma."Maybe you should stand exactly the way the guy's standing, instead of facing him," she suggested."Seriously? That would mean I'd have to turn my back to him, so how do I get to see him?""Get a mirror. And we're only minute

Cara exhaled as she stepped down from the treadmill at the local gym. It had been an eventful morning of exercise, the only event being that she had spent an hour on the treadmill - something that she had never been able to achieve before now. The events of the previous night had been what had inspired that burst of stamina.Now that she had slept on it and mulled it over again and again, she kept seeing reasons why she should not have backed down so easily. At first, she felt that Carol could not really be blamed, considering the fact that Lance was her son. She would have done even worse if it were her Lisa. But then it occurred to her that both cases were way different.Lisa was a child and Lance was an adult, a very manly one at that, if she were to consider the things he did to her in bed. He had the right and was old enough to make his own choices. Why did Carol feel the need to interfere? Not that Cara was a notorious person. She'd actually been one

Cara was seated quietly on her couch, legs folded under her and a glass of wine in her hand. The room was well-lighted and she was occupied with staring at the bottle of wine on the table as if she could read her future in the dark-colored liquid encased by the transparent glass of the bottle. Lisa had gone to bed - she had seen to that only minutes ago - so she had no company other than her thoughts. And they were mostly centered on the events of the last 40 hours or so.The morning of the previous day, she had woken up as usual with a broken heart, but by afternoon, she had patched it up temporarily and was ready to move on through the day. When evening came, the biggest blow was made to her bandaged heart when she saw Lance outside that grocery store, but somehow, he had managed to make everything better. Her inner self wagged a threatening finger at her as her mind touched on what they had done at the store and the possibility that they might have been seen. But she shrug

Later that night, Lance spent hours tossing and turning in bed. As far as he knew, his mother was still in the dark about his current standing with Cara. So that was not part of his worries. In fact, he had only two worries. The first and the least pressing was how he'd "stick with" Cara without getting caught. But the second and most pressing was what Cara's last words to him really meant.What on Earth did she mean by "I'll love only the man"? Did that mean that she already loved him or did it mean that she was yet to love him and would only do so on the condition that he must first become a man? If he already had her love, then great! That would mean that he was the most fortunate guy on Earth. But if it meant that he had to earn her love, then he was clearly in for some tough work! So which was it? He could call her and ask, but he was afraid that it would sound stupid and immature. Wasn't a real man supposed to be capable of figuring out something like this? That w

*****TWO WEEKS LATER*****They stepped out of the store to meet a considerably aged sun beating a slow retreat. The evening was getting older and night was certainly not far away, but Lance still had no thought of excusing himself.He'd tried twice so far, but Selene still wouldn't allow him help her carry at least one of the grocery bags. He had escorted her here from school after their classes had ended and they'd come in her car since he'd lent his to a close friend who needed to run an urgent errand. But all this time that he had tagged along with her, they'd scarcely said more than just a few words to each other. Even though he'd known the woman for a few months, Lance still didn't find it easy to engage her in conversation.She had a way of switching between formal and informal so markedly that he was always putting extra restraint on the use of his tongue whenever he was around her.
Will You? Chapter 20
The next day, Lance jumped from his bed as early as possible. He had spent most of the night rethinking and regretting the manner he had challenged his mother earlier in the evening. He finally came to the conclusion that it had been crude and unnecessary, so he would wake up early and try to gauge how she felt about it and perhaps apologize before she would be off to work.After brushing his teeth in record time, he jogged down the stairs to the kitchen. Then he remembered that the new girl might be in there with his mother. He certainly didn't want to have any conversation in her presence. But peeping in just to find out if she was there or not wouldn't hurt, would it? With that in mind, he strolled into the kitchen, but he was surprised to find his mother very much alone. Clearly, no one else was up yet, not even Anna."Morning, Mom," he hailed as he approached her. "How was your night? Sleep sound?""Yeah, very much. Thanks," was the lukewarm reply. She didn

When Lance finally returned home, he walked into the house a little awkwardly, despite his efforts to look normal. It was still morning and he didn't expect to find anyone at home, but yet, the front door wasn't locked. The TV in the sitting room was also turned on. He grabbed the remote control and turned down the volume, but suddenly, he heard a sound emanate from the direction of the kitchen. Oh, perhaps Mom's taking a day off work, he thought. Turning his steps in that direction, he walked into the kitchen unannounced."Morning Mom," he greeted as he went over to the fridge. There was no response and he wondered if she was mad at him for not informing her the previous day that he would stay the night after the "party". But he had told her, had he not? Anyway, for now, he was more focused on getting himself filled with both food and drink after the punishment he had received from Cara. He found a pack of his favourite juice at the far end of the top shelf and pulled it out

Lance woke up the next morning to find himself face down, weak and hungry. He blinked his eyes a few times to adjust them to the rays of sunlight filtering through the slightly open windows. Just then, a wet and naked Cara walked past and then stopped short to stare at him."Hmm. You're awake," she said, smiling at him as she dried herself with a towel in front of him. When she spread her legs to enable her dry her inner thighs and her crotch, he felt his dick stir."You almost killed me last night," he complained weakly, his mouth half-covered by the sheets. "My dick still hurts.""Really?", Cara shrugged as she began throwing on items of clothing as fast as she could. "At least you were lucky enough to cum twice. I didn't even cum once. But I'm sure you'll fix that when I get back.""Where are you going?", he asked carelessly."Off to the gym," she threw over her shoulder as she made for the doo

When Lance was done working, he quickly swallowed supper while the just-returned Anna was bathing. By the time she was done and was coming down to join them, he was already on his way out to attend an all-night party that could not be missed for anything in the world. Even the thought of missing it was a sin! That was what he told his mother and she had no reason not to believe him.He jumped into his car and began the journey to his friend's house, just as the darkness began to intensify. It would be a long evening and he had no plan to rush.**When Lance arrived at Rex's, he pressed the bell with sufficient civility since he was not so sure of the current status quo, but it didn't take a minute before Rex threw open the door. Lance immediately launched a direct punch aimed at his head, but his friend ducked just in time and managed to push him into the house at the same time."That was for the money returned, you bastard," Lance blurted as he reg

A second clink of cutlery against plate brought Lance's face up from his food. If he dared to not respond, Anna would clink him into deafness."What is it?", he asked sourly."The eggs," she replied, nodding at his plate. "You don't like eggs, so let me have one.""Fine," he conceded and transferred one of the two hardboiled eggs in his plate over to hers."Thank You."But he did not respond. She shrugged and went to work on the egg. She loved eggs and would do anything to get them. Lance, on the other hand, was not a big fan of eggs. Whenever his mother would persuade him to have some in his food, Anna would be there to help him get rid of the unwanted burden.Seconds later, he dropped his knife and fork with a loud clatter and her eyes quickly shot up. One glance told her that his plate was empty save for the cutlery and the second egg. Even before he could push the plate to her, she reached forward and grabbed it."Thanks, La
Will You? Chapter 15
Lance breezed into the restaurant and made straight for the kitchen, patting one of the waiters on the back as he went. He closed the kitchen's door behind him and moved further in. He saw the chefs hard at work - steam, aroma, and sounds of boiling, frying and roasting coming from every direction.He made his way over to a far end and sat down on a chair in front of a clear table near the window. He didn't have to wait long. The co-owner of the restaurant, his friend Rex, came over in his white chef attire and slammed down a tray of food on the table."Munch," he said as he took a seat beside Lance, who then drew the tray closer and inhaled the aroma. It was mushrooms prepared in an unfamiliar but delicious looking way, with stew and chunks of meat. He picked a fork and threw some pieces into his mouth."Hmmm. Real nice," he complimented as he chewed."Glad to hear. Thanks for coming.""My pleasure," Lance replied between mouthfuls."
