“Go in the parlor, there are a couple of cheerleaders who asked me to intercept you if you came in. Be careful staying too late. If those doors are ...ocked, you can’t get out. So watch it, stud.”I went into the parlor and over to the loveseat by the alcove. Misty and Cherry came out and sat on either side of me. Cherry turned my head to her then gave me a searching, searing kiss, tonguing my mouth and licking all over my lips. She pulled back from me and smiled. She picked up my right hand. .."She cut me off."Mark, I don't blame you for what happened." What do you mean? You came in here and you got into my bed." Mark said."Mark. You took advantage of your mother in a moment of weakness." Mum..." Listen to me Mark." Her voice became more shrill."You should never have done that. I'm you're mother. It's just wrong."Helen felt sick to her stomach as she spoke. She couldn't believe that this had happened. Not with her f******n year old son."That's not what you said last night mum.". "I am sorry about what has happened here," I told her in a remorseful voice. As I did I handed her the wineskin. She took it without any hesitation. Pulling the stopper from it she upended it and poured the sweet liquid into her mouth. As she drank, I settled myself down across from her and waited. I didn't have to wait long."Good wine," Ingrid declared freely when she had finished drinking her fill."I like the best," I admitted with a half smile, taking the skin from her and then drinking from. "Sounds like there's a lot ofbridesmaid spaces that need filling?" Give us a chance, we only got engaged yesterday!" Sarah laughs. "We're notgetting married for at least two years, we just want to sit back and enjoybeing engaged first." And it's not like we can't have, say, ten bridesmaids each," I say, makingSarah nearly choke on her water."I think we just decided that it WON'T be a small ceremony," Sarah says,making the whole table laugh as we celebrate through the afternoon and intothe early.
