The face-devouring kiss and tight embrace were suddenly and dreadfully punctuated by a frightening, catastrophic sound! A key was being inserted into the front door lock! Oh, no! It couldn't be! The couple froze. They broke their clinch. They looked at each other in horror. But the second or so they had available to react was too little time to escape, let alone to throw on their clothes. It was too late to do anything but mutely contemplate their awful fate. They were just about to get busted! They stared at each other in abject dismay.
The lovers gasped in shocked disbelief as the door swung open. It was Angelica! She was home early!
It was now the young girl's moment to be stunned beyond measure. To her horror, she saw her mother, her best friend — naked, her nipples fully extended — standing next to her boyfriend and lover — also naked, his cock erect with long strings of jism extending from his cockhole to the rug. Were her eyes playing tricks? Could this nightmare possibly be true?
What in God's name? Momma and Jeff? This can't be true — can it? This is a nightmare ... it can't be happening!
Angelica stared at the lovers in an almost catatonic state for a few terrible, unbearable seconds. But no amount of staring was going to make this nightmare go away. There was no doubt about it — these two had been going at it hot and heavy. There was no saving interpretation available to avoid this hideous conclusion. Jeff — her everything! — and her mother — her soul mate — had been making love.
After what seemed like an endless, paralyzed silence, Angelica screamed — a blood-curdling, hopeless shriek of anger, despair, and betrayal. After a few additional moments of shock and incredulity, she turned and ran out the door. As the sobbing young girl disappeared from sight, Maria and Jeff looked at each other in wide-eyed disbelief. Their hearts sank. Their eyes signaled a mutual recognition that they were about to pay a heavy, heavy price for these final thrilling moments of indiscretion. What had they done? And what consequences were they about to reap?
Maria spoke first. "Oh, my God!" she announced in horror. "They've never gotten back this soon before. Just never! I can't believe it!" The horrified woman shook her head in wonderment. "I never should have pushed for that last little bit of fucking by the couch — I should have kicked your butt out before that. What an unbelievable fuck-up!" The shock of the moment was catapulting the normally well-spoken nurse into street talk.
"No, no — it's my fault. All my fault," Jeff murmured.
"No, it's not," Maria broke in. "Besides, blame doesn't matter. The question is what are we going to do about this? What can we do? Is there anything we can do?"
Jeff pursed his lips. "Well, I'm gonna get dressed and look for Angelica. Apologize. Beg her forgiveness. Something." The young man's voice was trembling. He was clearly near tears. Angelica was the love of his life! What had he done?
Maria nodded. She was likewise near tears. "Good — though I can't imagine how she'll react. She was so upset, after all! But do your best 'n I'll do the same when she comes back inside. If she comes back inside! This is just an unbelievable disaster. Oh, Jeff ... I'm so awfully sorry!"
Screw you, lady! You were the one insisting Angelica would approve of me takin' the edge off your horniness. What a joke! Maria knows that was all bullshit! She knew it all the time! 'Course, so did I — really! How could I have done this? What was I thinkin' of — if I was thinkin' at all, which I seriously doubt!
Angelica was not hard to find. She was leaning up against Jeff's car, which was parked in a regular visitor's spot instead of in its traditional slot between the dumpster and the fence. Her contorted face was tear-streaked. Her expression seemed to combine equal parts anguish and fury. Her body was shaking with debilitating emotion. Jeff could tell she was terminally upset and distraught. No surprise there! He didn't have a clue as to what to say to her. All he knew was that he loved her very much and was so awfully, awfully sorry. As if any of that mattered at all right now!
"Angelica...." Jeff croaked.
"Shut up, Jeff," Angelica growled. "Just shut up!" The young girl was shaking with rage. "You bastard, Jeff! You total son of a fucking bitch! Daddy and I decided to shop in Humboldt Park instead of goin' all the way to 26th Street and so we got home early." She glowered at Jeff. "How inconvenient for you 'n what a surprise for me!" Angelica stared in angry silence at Jeff for a few moments. "Is this a regular thing for you? Fucking my mom, I mean?"
"No ... no!" Jeff stammered. "It ... I ... never before ... never! ... first time ... ever!"
Angelica, her lips compressed in hate, walked up to Jeff and slapped him on the cheek. Then, using a vicious backhand, she repeated the blow to the other cheek with even greater force. She was furious! Sick with grief, as well. "How ... how ... how could you, Jeff?" Her voice began to crack. "I ... I thought we were in love ... for keeps! ... meant for each other ... that you were The One! Maybe even for the rest of our lives! Boy, how wrong I was! Turns out you were just hangin' around so that you could hit on my mother. And then fuck her. You fucking bastard!"
"No, that's not true at all! This ... thing just happened, that's all. A mistake." Jeff insisted. "It's you I love!"
"Really! You could have fooled me! What a fine way to show it! By the way, whose idea was this little ... escapade, anyway?"
Shit! How do I answer that question? Mrs Gonzales was awfully pushy about things but I have to accept responsibility — it was my fault. I mean, I'm the one who could've walked away but didn't. It's always the man's job to walk away. Plus, I can't let Angelica's relationship with her mom get ruined. In the long run that's gonna be more important than ours, especially since ours seems to be pretty much shot anyway. Jeff, ol' man — I think it's time for you to fall on your sword, to take the hit on this one. What's that old line? "It is a far, far better thing...." At least you can do one decent thing today!
Jeff took a deep breath. "It was my fault, Angelica. All my fault. Totally! I'm the one. I hit on your mom — I have to take the responsibility for that — totally! — and, well, then things just happened. I made a terrible, terrible mistake so blame me, don't blame your mother." Jeff paused, his voice trailing off into sobs. "I'm so terribly sorry, honey. Could you possibly forgive me for this awful thing? This terrible mistake that only happened once and would never, never happen again? I'm begging you, honey!"
Angelica's heart sank. As furious as she was, the young teenager had retained a shred of hope that perhaps her mom had been the seducer. After all, she knew how awfully horny the poor woman was. Under those circumstances she might have been able to forgive Jeff and her mother. Well, maybe she would be able to forgive after the unspeakable asshole had spent a long, time in purgatory for not having the strength of character to resist Momma's blandishments. But now even that slender hope was gone. It had been Jeff who made it happen! Well ... that was that! The end!
Oh, no! If Mama had seduced Jeff, we might be able to work it out ... somehow. It would have been wrong but .... there would've been some shred of an excuse and maybe some hope for Jeff 'n me ... for us. After all, Mama is an awfully beautiful 'n sexy woman who's goin' crazy on account of her non-existent sex life. I might be able to see how it happened, if she threw herself at him 'n junk. I could maybe cut Jeff some slack. He's only human, after all. But now it turns out it was Jeff who took advantage of her.... there's no hope! None! And now he's admitted he seduced her — the motherfucker! That it was his doing! Well, that's all I needed to know! You're history, Jeff!
Without warning, Angelica reacted with escalated fury. "I hate you!" she screamed. She closed her hands into fists and started flailing at Jeff. She started slugging him in his stomach, his arms, and even his face.
Jeff just stood there and absorbed the blows. He did not even put up his arms to fend off the punches. After all, he deserved them! It was the least of the punishments he deserved.
The harder she hit, the louder Angelica sobbed. The girl was in a hysterical frenzy. Finally, her arms got tired from pummeling her former boyfriend. She dropped her fists to her side and screamed: "Forgive you? What you did was just unbelievable, Jeff! Unforgivable! I can't stand you! I hate you! Get out of my sight and never talk to me again, Jeff Weld! Just never!"
Jeff, the most wounded of looks in his eyes, wordlessly opened the door to his car and started to get in. What more was there to say?
Angelica followed him to the door. She wasn't finished. "The only saving feature of this little drama," she hissed, "is that Daddy wasn't there to catch you two in the act. He dropped me off and went on to the hardware store. Thank God for that! I'm not about to tattle on Mama and I doubt she's gonna fess up. Do you realize that with his blood pressure 'n stuff Daddy could've had a stroke or heart attack and dropped dead if he had walked in with me? Or at least seen enough to make him walk out on the marriage? Who could blame him? You bastard! You just don't care, do you? Give a guy a stroke? Cause a divorce? So what, as long as you get fucked. Right? All you care about is dipping that big wiener of yours wherever you feel like it! Even when you would have thought you were gettin' plenty from me! What a selfish asshole you are!"
"No, Angelica. That's just not true at all. I love you ... I care about you! You're my everything!"
The young girl's voice rose in fury. "You really have a great way of showing it, Jeff!" The fury then gave way to sobs. "The worst part is that you ... you're just not the person I thought you were. I can't believe it but you're not. That's what's really important here. I really got fooled. But now I know the real you. And I hate it. I hate you. Spend a lifetime with you? I couldn't stand to spend a second in your company. So just get the fuck out of here. We're through! Get out! Forever!"
