“Sorry, buddy, I misunderstood the coolness value.”

“You know Doc would be a good dad.” He nodded. “He’s old but not too old.”

“Define too old?”

“You know, like grandpa.”

Whew.

“What’s the plan for Saturday?”

“It’s a surprise, Mom.” He sighed. “You’re gonna have to trust me.”

I’ve heard that before, though not from him.

He pulled out his key and unlocked the door for us to go inside, and then Matthew disappeared into his room. I went into my room and stripped down to shower. No matter how short or long my shift is, it always felt good to wash off the day.

I heard him yelling at his TV and knew he was playing a video game, which gave me time to decompress before dinner.

Being a single mom wasn’t bad, though there were times I wished I had a partner to share the load with. For the most part, my son was a good kid. I didn’t need to worry about him breaking rules or doing something crazy.

Thankfully he was more like me than Greg.

Turning on the water, I thought about what my sister said about telling Matt he had siblings, and I knew in my heart she wasn’t wrong.

But my concern was how he would take the news.

I made quick work of my shower and after I got out; I braided my hair before slipping into my comfy jammies. Padding through the apartment, I went and stretched out on the couch to watch some TV before cooking dinner.

The night went by how it usually did. We ate, watched some TV together and then I tucked him in for the night.

I saw the dress Evie got me hanging on the back of my bedroom door and I moved the plastic cover to look it over. It was exactly what she said. A sexy black dress. And the matching undergarments were soft and lacy.

This was a fuck me dress if I ever saw one. Which was exactly what I wanted Friday night.

I pulled the plastic down over it and crawled into bed playing my favorite crossword game when the notification from Frank popped up.

Thinking about you

Oh yeah?

Changing your mind about Friday?

Hell no

Are you?

No.

It feels so far away

Even though it’s only 4 days

I’ll be honest

I’m feelin like a pervert

LOL
