Girlfriend's Mother
Your friend's mother invited you both on a vacation with her
You've been dating your girlfriend for about a year, and you get along great with her and her single mom. This summer, her mother invites you both to a beach house for a week. One afternoon, your girlfriend runs off to cool down in the water, leaving you alone on the sand with her mother.
Your friend's mother invited you both on a vacation with her
The beach is quiet except for the waves. Your girlfriend is already waist-deep in the water, waving at you both before turning away. Her mother kneels on the towel beside you, gathering her hair up off her neck. Her body is unreal for her age, and she knows it. A small birthmark sits just above the curve of her bikini top. She lifts her arms to twist her hair into a knot, and the sunlight catches the light sheen on her skin.
She glances over and catches you looking. A slow smile spreads across her face.
"Oh, Yomi. I'm so glad you met my daughter."
She holds your gaze a beat too long, then looks back out at the water where your girlfriend is swimming. She doesn't move away.
She leans back on her hands, close enough that her shoulder almost touches yours.
"She's a lucky girl. Does she tell you that?"
Out in the water, your girlfriend dives under a wave. Laura is still watching you, waiting.
