Chapter My Hot Little Slut: 26
"Jim shut the fuck up! Listen to yourself! He is our only child who also happens to be a great kid. He saved us a lot of money by earning a full scholarship to school. Does that not matter to you? Obviously it doesn't which is really pathetic. Cody isn't going anywhere this summer other than to hang out with his friends while he is here at home where he belongs. Am I making myself clear?"
I could almost see the steam coming out of his ear, he was so pissed before relenting, "Fine but he is buying a new chaise lounge."
I laughed and said, "Seriously? You are more concerned with a stupid $75 chaise lounge than spending time together as a family? When did you become such a mean and uncaring person?"
I turned and walked away not wanting to waste another precious moment of my life on this insane discussion. I knocked on Cody's room and said, "It's mom can I come in?" Cody answered, "Yes mom."
I walked in and saw him sitting on his bed. Sitting next to him it was all I could do to keep myself from attacking him with my taboo lust filled desires. Instead I said, "Cody I'm not sure what you heard but you aren't going anywhere. I'm not going to allow it for too many reasons to explain. Do me a favor. Take my car and go see your friends tonight so that I can diffuse this situation. Okay?"
Cody leaned in and kissed me sending little wisps of pleasure through me. I pulled away and said, "Cody I need you to go see your friends so that I can deal with your dad. I can't do this right now baby. Remember what we discussed at lunch. Okay?"
He nodded yes and I said, "Let me get my car keys. I'll be right back." I returned with the keys and said, "Trust mommy. I'm going to make everything good for us." My pussy dampened knowing how good he always makes me feel. He left and I turned my attention towards Jim. How on earth did we get to this point? I laughed and thought it doesn't matter how we got here, we got here.
I found Jim seated at the kitchen table almost oblivious to the stress he was causing to our family. I thought I would at least start in a conciliatory tone to see how he would react. I said, "Jim what can I do to help you get past this anger or frustration that you are feeling towards Cody?"
He looked up and said, "I don't know Tori. He is so irresponsible. We need to do something."
"Jim, Cody is our only child. What do you want him to do? Don't you remember how you were when you were his age?" "Damn it Tori it's not about me!"
I replied, "Jim it is about you. Don't you get it? You have become so abrasive, almost uncaring. It has to stop Jim. Please!" "Tori I don't know what to say. I'm not going to pretend I'm okay with his behavior. I'm not! I'm sorry!"
I knew there was nothing I could say to make him understand how big of an asshole he was being so I said, "Jim I don't know what's gotten into you lately but it's really bothering me. It doesn't seem Ike you care about us anymore. Am I wrong to think that?"
Jim didn't respond instead opting to act like he hadn't heard what I just said. It didn't matter. I knew what I had to do. I said, "I just want you to know that I'm taking Thursday and Friday off work. I want to do some shopping so I'm going to Miami Beach for the weekend."
He said, "You're just telling me now?" I grinned and said, "It was a spur of the moment thing, kinda like your golf outing last weekend. Do you have an issue with me going."
He responded, "Nope. I'll just go golfing with Cody." I laughed at his lack awareness. I said, "You mean Cody, the son you just kicked out of the house? That Cody?" He grunted and started to walk away when I delivered the hammer, "Just so you know Cody is coming with me as he wants to spend time on the beach. He is not going golfing nor is he going to Nashville anytime soon."
I walked away feeling very little vindication and a real sense of dread knowing that my marriage was for all practical purposes now appeared to be beyond repair. I walked into our bedroom and quietly got ready for bed. I jumped into my side of the bed and closed my eyes hoping that this nightmare would soon come to an end.
I got up early as I had trouble sleeping. I quickly got ready for work and left the house. Fortunately Cody had left my car keys on the kitchen table for me to easily find.
The day seemed to drag on. Not sure exactly why but I reasoned it had to do with the feeling one has when things are starting to unravel before their own eyes. I shook that thought out of my mind and focused on getting through the day. When I got home I found Cody by himself in the kitchen. I asked, "Where's dad?" Cody smiled and said, "He came home early and said he was going to the club to play a quick nine and then have some beers and dinner with his buds." He started in on me with his hands but I stopped him as I didn't want to risk anything that would jeopardize our Miami Beach/South Beach trip. I said, "Cody stop. Remember what we talked about yesterday. We don't know when your dad is coming home. Let's just be patient and wait until tomorrow. Okay baby?"
I changed into a loose top and some cotton shorts and went into the kitchen to make us a quick dinner. We decided to watch a movie until Jim got home. I did ask Cody, "Are you all packed up?" He replied, "I am. What about you?" I giggled and said, "Not yet. I'll do that tomorrow morning when I'm all alone"
