Chapter 5

Friday arrived and I was nervous. This would be the last time I saw Amber until Monday so I had to make it count. It didn't help Mr. Kuipers decided to pick this day to have the proverbial colostomy bag up his ass.

But that's not what you want to hear. After the day from hell I spoke to Amber and this time decided it would be better to stay late and meet the mother. Train ride home be damned!



Amber looked great today, jeans looked a little tight but her pink t-shirt looked wonderful on her. As we boarded the bus home we spoke about various things and one thing in particular.

"You really look lovely today Amber." I spoke

"You're too kind. Its been a long time since I've had this kind of attention." She replied.

"I'm glad you're used to it somewhat."

She tilted her head and sighed "Yeah, that boy was one of a kind."

I was puzzled "Boy?"

She snapped out of it "Oh, my ex boyfriend. He was the biggest movie quoter I've ever known. He could recite scene to scene every single movie he ever saw. and...."

"anddd what?"

She smiled "He always reminded me of how beautiful I was no matter how I felt or how bad my day was. I miss that."

I saw my chance "Well I'll try my best."

"Aww how sweet?"

To make a long story short (too late), I got to see Mr...err...Doug again and once again he seemed jovial. I was sitting on the couch with Amber with her father in the recliner next to us talking when Mrs. Runnels walked in the door at 9:30.

You know the expression short and fat? Well she was very short and VERY fat. Her face was round, chubby cheeks and 2 chins with a 3rd on the way. Her long brunette hair hung to her shoulders in the back and to her very generous cleavage. Her belly was so wide and round she looked like she was 7 months pregnant with twins with arms so flabby they jiggled when she opened and closed the door. She was wearing a button down black shirt with a nametag over the breast and by the grace of God the buttons were barely holding on. Her thighs were luscious and wide giving her a bit of a waddle. Also just like Amber she had a nice wide butt only difference was hers was MUCH wider than Amber's.

She said hi to her husband and to Amber but froze when she saw me. Her smile turned to a frown almost instantly.

"And who might you be?" She asked with a huff in her low pitched voice.

"I'm Jake, Amber's friend from school."

She put her hands on her generous hips. "That supposed to impress me?"

"I uh..um." Was all I managed to say before Doug chimed in "Now now Terri, be nice. Let's not scare this one away too."

My heart began to race "This one too?"

Amber patted my shoulder "Yeah mom, not yet ok? He's been nice, not like the others."

"Others what?"

Terri sighed "Very well, I assume everyone's eaten?"

"Yes dear" came the reply from Doug.

"I'm sorry I'm not in the mood to conversate. I'm going to bed, goodnight everyone."

With that, Mrs. Runnells slowly made her way upstairs and out of sight. "Did I do something wrong?"

Doug shook his head. "No, its just that she had a rough life growing up and doesn't want Amber to go through the same troubles."

I shook my head "I have no intention of causing any trouble."

He nodded "I believe you, but my wife may not. You may have to prove it to her somehow."

"How do I do that?"

He shrugged "Find a way. If you'll excuse me, I have to use the latrine."

Doug swiftly made his way to the bathroom nearby and shut the door leaving Amber alone with me. I decided that tonight was not the night and asked if I could politely exit. She reluctantly agreed but she walked me outside. While outside I asked her what was on my mind the whole time.

"So you've had other guys come over?"

Amber "Cat's out of the bag huh? Yes, I've had boyfriends in the past and potential suitors. All but one were scared away by my mother."

"Why'd the others get scared?" I asked.

"She's pretty intimidating. She can spot a phony that just wants to fuck or a quick lay or not so serious a mile away. She doesn't like that."

"I can't blame her, but you said one was successful?"

She smiled "My ex. He could charm like nobody ever. He also was for real, he sincerely liked me."

"Why'd he break up with you?"

She frowned "He didn't want to, he just moved out of state. I haven't seen him in years. I heard he's engaged now."

"Couldn't have liked you that much if he found someone else so quickly."

She sighed "Yeah, guess you're right."

I then patted her shoulder and said "If it means anything I think you're really pretty and would love getting to know you better. I'd like to think I'm for real too."

She smiled from ear to ear "That means a lot to me thank you."

I hugged her close and she felt so soft and cuddly. I turned to walk away to the train station when she stopped me.

"What, no goodbye kiss? I'm hurt." She said with a giggle.

I then turned to face her and held on to her love handles. I slowly lowered my head and kissed her deeply on the lips. As I pulled away she was beaming and we said our goodbyes. I saw her licking her lips as she walked in the house but then I looked up and through the window was her mother glaring at me before vanishing.

I guess I have a lot of work to do.
