To my surprise, ‘nice restaurant’ actually meant a nice restaurant but I was also shit scared when I saw a couple of mom’s friends there. After waving hello, we sat in a corner table. Seeing there were people who knew us had brought an odd gleam into their eyes but it was mom who seemed to be most affected by it. Something had come over her, she looked flushed and was biting her lower lip. She almost seemed excited.
There seemed to be nothing amiss and we were just having dinner until one of them announced that it was getting bored. I gulped as he turned to mom, “We are getting bored”. “Why don’t y…” he was cut short as mom grabbed a hair tie from her wrist, put her hair up and ducked under the table. What the hell!? I quickly looked around to see if anyone had noticed. Relieved that no one had, I glimpsed under the table to see mom blowing the guy next to me.
