Fucking my best friend’s mother was the last thing I could think of when I went to his house. I called the doorbell and she opened the door. I asked her if her son, Tom, was home. She said I just missed him when he was gone with a girl and they went to the mall.
She said I didn’t have to leave because she just made coffee and invited me to a cup. She worked in one of the town hospitals and was still in uniform. I asked her if she had a double shift. She smiled and said without a second paycheck to pay the bills, she had to work on her all hours. While I was on my cup of coffee, I commented that her feet should kill her. She said she was in a hurry and left for work in her shoes. I told her every male patient liked her. She said it would have made her day if that was the situation, but with the exception of an overdose, all her patients were women on duty.
