masturbated to satisfy her own frustrated cravings.
Fed up with Mark, she had kicked him to the curb a few days before. After watching Kevin with her mother, she knew that she needed to find a man who could satisfy her. Mark, with his pathetic little dick, was never going to get the job done.
One morning, about a week after she first watched her mom and Kevin, she sat at the breakfast table alone. Her mom entered the room.
“Good morning,” her mom said cheerily.
“Yeah,” Crystal shot back in a grumpy tone.
“What’s the matter, baby?” her mom asked.
“Oh, I don’t know,” Crystal said.
“You don’t know?” her mom asked. “I call bullshit. You can’t be that upset and not know why.”
“OK, I broke up with Mark a couple of days ago,” Crystal admitted.
“What happened, Crystal? I thought you two were getting along great!” her mother told her.
“Well it wasn’t that bad, but something happened that got me to thinking. So I dumped him,” Crystal told her mother.
“What on earth happened?” her mom asked.
“I don’t think you want to know,” Crystal told her matter-of-factly.
“How can you say that to me? We’ve always been able to talk about anything!” Charlotte retorted. She was clearly offended.
“Mom, I’ll tell you. But you have to promise not to freak out on me,” Crystal told her.
“OK, sure baby. You can tell me anything. I’ll be good. I promise,” Charlotte promised her.
“Well last Friday night, I came home, and noticed that Kevin wasn’t sleeping in his room,” she began.
Charlotte raised an eyebrow, as if to tell her to continue.
“Anyway, I heard sounds coming from your room and thought you might be in trouble, so I opened the door. And I saw you and Kevin together.”
“I’m sorry,” she continued. “I only opened the door because I was worried about you.”
Charlotte stared at her in dumb silence.
“Well, I’m sorry. We tried to be discreet, but I guess we didn’t do a very good job of it.”
“No, you didn’t,” Crystal said, punctuating it with a giggle.
“Shit, I’m sorry baby,” Charlotte said, adding her giggle to the conversation.
“Well, you looked like you were having a really good time,” Crystal told her.
“Crystal!” Charlotte scolded her.
“Well, just so you know, I watched the whole thing!” Crystal told her in a faux-huff.
“You didn’t!” Charlotte demanded.
“I damn sure did!” Crystal told her, matter-of-factly.
“Baby, I’m sorry. I hope I didn’t scandalize you for life,” Charlotte told her.
Crystal paused.
“No mom, you didn’t scandalize me. You just made me realize what I’m missing,” she told her mother.
“What do you mean?” Charlotte asked.
“Mom, I saw you having an orgasm,” Crystal told her bluntly.
Charlotte blushed and realized what Crystal had seen.
“Oh yeah, I guess you did,” she told her with a smile.
“Mom, I need to tell you something else,” Crystal told her.
“What now? I’m afraid to ask!” Charlotte said.
“Mom, I didn’t just watch you that one time,” Crystal said in a quiet, hushed whisper.
Charlotte’s left eyebrow shot up in a silent form of a question.
“Mom,” Crystal said, recognizing Charlotte’s subtle cue. “I’ve heard you every night for nearly two weeks now, and snuck in every night to watch you getting screwed by Kevin.”
Charlotte clapped her hand over her mouth, shocked by what her daughter had just said.
Then she just laughed out loud.
“Oh my god!” she exclaimed. “I kept noticing the door open in the mornings that we had made a point of closing every night. You little sneak!”
“I’m sorry, Mom,” she lamely said.
Charlotte did a mental inventory of the last two weeks and thought of the number of times that she had made love to Kevin and wondered how many of those Crystal
