Loving Mom

“Beverly, Beverly, what has happened to you?”

I was walking past the downstairs bathroom when I heard those words. The door was open a few inches, and I could see my mother’s reflection in the mirror when I looked inside. I wasn’t trying to peep, but it happened that way.

Mom was wearing a tight sports bra and nylon shorts—workout clothes—that she spent more time wearing than working out in. The bra supported her large breasts without hiding her cleavage, and it left her abdomen bare down to her waistline. Mom wasn’t heavy, but for the last few years she was picking up a pound here, and a pound there and they weren’t going away.

The extra weight was evident in some of the clothes she wore, like her shorts. I noticed they fit tighter than they had a year ago, and I saw the way the fabric dug into the cleft between her thighs. I wouldn’t have been aware of this if Dad hadn’t pointed it out one night as a joke, but now my mother’s thick, meaty camel toe was something to look forward to during her “workout” time.

She pinched the soft meat along her right side between her thumb and forefinger, frowning at the skin she was able to pull outward. Her left hand roamed over her undefined stomach. She sucked at her lip, glaring at the lack of definition in her body.

Mom pursed her lips and tick-tocked her eyes across her body, catching my reflection peeping on her as she swung them to the left. Her head snapped up, and I turned red under her gaze.

*”Christopher,* what are you doing?” Mom asked.

I pushed the door opened, unable to hide my blushing face. “Sorry. I heard you talking to yourself.”

Mom laughed, her smile lighting up the mirror and forcing my lips to share in her amusement. “I know that step-stuff is trending now, by I’m your *real* mother, boy.”

“Stop,” I said, stepping inside.

“Who’s the pornstar that your father said I looked like? You know who, the one you’re always watching.”

I shrugged. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Come on, tell me,” Mom said.

“Alexis Fawx.”

“She does a lot of that Mommy porn, right?” Mom laughed. “That’s what your father said. If you’re going to wear headphones while playing with your *laptop,* you should lock your door.”

“You’re never going to let me live that down,” I said. “Everyone gets caught at least once. And do you ever wonder why Dad knows who she is when he has you?”

“Oh, I’m just joking,” Mom said. “I was flattered, really. My very own Oedipus.”

“Jesus, Mom, I wasn’t even watching one of her fetish scenes.”

“I’m teasing,” Mom said, laughing. “Calm down. Since when does embarrassment run in this family?”

I shook my head, feeling the heat in my ears. “Anyway, Mom, you look fine, stop worrying about your weight.”

Mom smiled at me and patted my cheek. Her creamy green eyes sparkled. “That’s sweet, Chris, but I don’t want to look ‘fine.’ I want to look better. I want to feel better.” She made that sucking sound again. “Maybe your father would start paying more attention to me in the bed—”

“This conversation is over,” I said, not wanting to picture my mother getting poked by my father. I left the restroom. “And it’s the beer’s fault he isn’t paying attention to you, not your body.”

Later that night, after the harsh hissing of an uncapped bottle of beer, Dad asked me, “Want one?”

“No,” I said, sitting next to the couch in a leather recliner with a swivel base. Mom was lying on the smaller couch forming the little leg of an L next to Dad’s couch.

“I used to have a body like yours,” Dad said. He took several gulps from his beer. “But I’ve earned this.” He tapped his stomach, shaking the strangely tight flab under his shirt. My father was a bear, with puffy cheeks and a neatly trimmed beard. “I don’t want to give away what I’ve earned.”

I nodded, tapping my stomach without realizing it. I didn’t want to lose the hard muscles beneath my shirt, not after the year I spent earning them.

“You’re still modeling?” Dad asked. “What kind of work is that for a man? You should be working at one of my auto shops.”

“It pays twenty-five an hour, sometimes more, and it’s not always nude,” I said. “And I don’t want to be a mechanic.”

“See,” Dad said. He pointed his beer bottle at Mom. “You paint one shirtless picture of him and the boy wants to be a pornstar.”

I laughed.

“He’s not a pornstar,” Mom said. “Oh, look at that.” Mom pointed at the casino commercial playing on TV. Dinner, dancing, and a show—that was the advertisement. “We should go out. It’s been so long since we’ve gone out.”

“Have a beer, read a book,” Dad said. “Besides, you don’t fit into your dressy-dresses anymore. There’s no point.” He finished his beer and held the empty bottle toward Mom.

Mom stared at him. Her eyes were wide, and her lips set in an unhappy line.

I didn’t say a thing. I watched TV as Dad flipped through the channels, stopping only when a pretty girl highlighted the screen. The younger the girl, the better and the less she wore, the longer he watched. I looked sideways at my mother several times, watching as her frown deepened throughout the night. She rubbed her stomach—which wasn’t big—and her other hand rubbed her thigh—which wasn’t big either—but I could feel the unhappiness oozing from her.

“I’m off to bed,” I said when the clock neared ten. “I’ve got classes in the morning.”

“Goodnight,” Mom said.

Dad mumbled something.

I admired myself in my mirror when I reached my room. I was eighteen and over the halfway point, a slightly taller version of my father, with a leaner jaw and bluer eyes, but the same dark brown hair. I traced the muscles of my abs, and flexed my muscular thighs, happy with the curve of my hamstrings. Is this what Mom wanted? Not my body, but *a* body?

“All right,” I said to myself, “I’ll help her out.” My words came out strained and reluctant. I don’t know why. She wasn’t asking me for help, and I was going to volunteer my services to her.

I was already stripped down to my boxer-briefs, so I locked my door and turned on my laptop, wondering what new adventures Alexis Fawx was getting into.

**Getting Into Shape**

I caught Mom in her in-home art studio the next day after class. I admired her from behind, leaning against the frame of the door-less entryway. She wore a yoga bodysuit, dark wine in color, but tight-fitting and I could see a few spots she might have thought of as a problem, but no else would have.

I waited for her to pull her brush from her canvas before I asked, “Mom?”

Mom turned at the sound of my voice. She tossed her straw-blonde hair over her left shoulder, her profile accentuated by the heavy curve of her left breast. I didn’t let my eyes linger on her tanned cleavage for long.

“Come to model for *Mommy?”* Mom asked, laughing.

“Don’t say it like that.”

“Like what?” Mom asked, laughing harder.

“Oh, I thought you were making fun of me again.” I walked into the room, looking around her home gallery. Some paintings would make it to her downtown gallery, but most would not. She was better at selling the work of others than her own, but it made her happy, which made me happy for her. “I was thinking.”

“About?” Mom asked, slowly, after I didn’t speak right away.

“About you.” I turned, facing her. “You have a good body. A really good body. Anyone can see that.”

“Oh”—Mom waved at me with one hand and fanned her face with the other—”you don’t say.”

“When I came to you a year ago and said I felt too thin, you told me to—”

“Get your skinny ass and stringy arms to the gym,” Mom finished. She laughed. “Now look at you.”

“Exactly,” I said, waiting.

“No.” Mom shook her head. “It’s different for you. You have time.”

I laughed. “I have college, labs, studying, work—”

“You don’t work.”

“You got me into nude modeling,” I said. “It’s not hard-hard, but I don’t get to crack the books open when I’m there.” I clapped my hands together. “You have the time, but you don’t have the motivation. We can go to the gym—”

“No gym, nope.”

“Will you stop cutting me off?” I walked to my mother and put my hands on her sides, above her hips, but below her breasts, like I always did when I tried to convince her of something. “We can work out at home.”

“I don’t know,” Mom said. “I’m too old.”

“You’re what, twenty-five?”

Mom laughed. “Don’t be an idiot. I’m thirty-eight.”

“I meant you look twenty-five.” I waited for Mom’s laughter to end. “You don’t need to lose much since you still have most of your body.” I squeezed Mom’s sides, surprised by her unexpected jump. “We’ll stretch and do some yoga until your muscles are ready for weights. We’ll also walk until you feel like running. What do you say?”

“All right, you sweet talker, we can try,” Mom said. She put her hands on mine and slowly pushed them from her body. “Get out of here so I can paint.” She surprised me again with a quick kiss on the side of my cheek, her full lips lingering against me for longer than a peck. “Thanks, sweetie.”

“No problem,” I said and left her studio.
