No Surprise

My parents divorced when I was eleven and I lived with my mom after that. When I was fourteen one afternoon I happened to come home early, and obviously very much unexpectedly. I saw my mom and a friend of hers, and they were naked on the bed holding each other and kissing.
Of course I was really surprised to see my mom being like this with another woman. They didn’t see me so I just quickly and quietly got out of here and came back home a couple of hours later. My mom was dressed and by herself, and she just acted perfectly normal, and so I did. It took me a few days to get over my surprise, and then I started thinking that it really wasn’t that big of a deal. To be honest, I even thought that I was glad that my mom wasn’t seeing a man, and might get married and how I would have this new step-dad to get use to. To me, a bit selfishly, all I could think of was how awkward and awful that would be. In that sense I was glad that my mom was having an affair with another women. As a boy, that seemed somehow far more acceptable and I think, even romantic.
Over the years I never let on that I knew that my mom liked other women, or said how I had seen anything. Then four years ago, when I was twenty-two and living on my own, I went to see my mom. The two of us have always been close and really get along very well. She nervously said that she had something that she wanted to discuss with me. She told me how she had lesbian feelings for another woman and that they were thinking of living together. She said how she knew that this was probably a real shock for me and wasn’t sure how I would feel about that. I know that she was expecting the worse. That I would go all purple or something becazue she was in love with another woman and this secret lesbian.
Well, of course, I had had years to get use to this idea, so it really came as certainly not a shock and no surprise. I didn’t tell her that, though. I didn’t want to embarrass her and say how I had seen her with another woman all those years back. I simply just told her that I was happy for her, and that I had absolutely no problems with that. Even that I was looking forward to meeting her friend. It was my mom who was the one who was surprised. But she was so relieved and very happy. I cannot even begin to describe just how relieved and happy and surprised she looked!
Now she and her friendly are happily living quite openly together and having been for three years, we all get along, and I am so happy for them. I think that they are planning on getting married, but they haven’t said yet.
