During high school and for a few years after I worked at my step dad’s service station. We had 4 pumps and two lube bays. It was a small operation but it had been in his family since 1922. He took over the business after serving time in the military and it was quite a lucrative business for him. He and my mom knew each other in High School and reconnected at their 20 year class reunion. Both had been married and were both divorced. They dated and eventually got married.
He was an avid deep sea fisherman and owned a really nice fishing boat that we would take out of Newport Beach and go marlin and tuna fishing. He would also go on long range trips on a charter boat. One of these trips is when my experience with mom happened.
Growing up she and I were always close. When I say close we used to shower together when I was younger. All very innocent at the time but a learning experience for me. I think it made me feel comfortable around girls and respect them more. I had a few girl friends in high school but none of the relationships went beyond partying and having sex. Which don’t get me wrong was great but after high school girls I wanted more. I wanted something more mature in my life. Something like, well, mom.
