I had to take matters into my own hands if the school wasn't going to do more than give a slap on the wrist. The bullying of my son had gone too far, it was affecting his grades, friendships and his attitude at home. The bully was changing my son into someone I hardly recognized. I had been too caring and protective of a mother for something like that to happen. I refused to stand idle while my son suffered.
I asked to get the afternoon off from work and headed to the bully's address I had found by doing some detective work online. He was two years older than my son, an eighteen-year-old high school senior who looked like a football player, but who really was too busy goofing off, chasing girls and seeking petty validation to do anything productive.
His neighborhood was far away, around the edge of the area where the high school corresponded to. I wasn't familiar with this part of the city, but the map application on my phone helped me get to the destination. The home looked abandoned, with holiday decorations up past their date and random junk on the front yard and porch.
Here goes nothing, I thought, getting out of my car and making my way to the front door.
The closer I got, the clearer I could hear the hip-hop lyrics blaring from the speakers. I didn't know what to expect, but I at least knew someone was home to hear my complaint. I rang the doorbell but couldn't tell if it even worked over the loud music, so I knocked on the door, hard enough to turn my knuckles red.
I looked around, spotting nothing but seemingly broken down cars and a stray dog knocking a trash can down a couple of houses to the right. I knocked again, this time hearing the sound of the music lower in response.
I was about reach for my phone inside my purse when the door opened. There he was, my son's bully, shirtless and wearing only basketball shorts.
"Who you looking for?" he asked, scanning my work attire from head to toe.
"I'm looking for, um, looking for Julian," I answered, noticing his imposing figure compared to my petite one.
"What do you want?" he bluntly asked.
"Okay, so it's you, can I come in? I won't take much of your time," I said, forcing a delicate smile.
He nodded his head, "Oh, right, you must be that idiot's mom."
"Are you serious? You are a little...aggressive," I said, stopping for a second to hold back from really speaking my mind.
He rolled his eyes, "I got enough with my mom nagging at me, so make this quick, lady."
I walked into his living room, bending over to move a few half empty water bottles aside to place my purse on the coffee table.
"Why do the wimps always have the hottest moms?" he asked, thinking out loud.
I could feel his eyes on my backside as if looking for my panty lines, but little did he know that I always wore thongs under my dress pants. I liked looking and feeling sexy, and my workout routines kept me in shape to be one of the hot moms like my son's friends said when they thought I wasn't hearing. Even if it was coming in an unusual way from my son's bully, it was rare to receive such a compliment upfront and part of me appreciated it.
"I wanted to talk about the way you treat my son," I began as I watched him move aside a throw pillow on the couch for me to sit.
"Okay, what about it?" he asked, maintaining his aggressive demeanor.
"It's gone too far and it needs to stop. One thing is teasing and playing around amongst boys, but another thing is bullying him," I answered in my motherly tone.
"Oh, c'mon, don't give me that shit. You're being dramatic," he said, shaking his head.
"Look, just cut the whole bully act already. You're eighteen and that attitude isn't gonna take you anywhere," I countered, raising my voice, getting defensive and knowing that he wouldn't be easy to tame.
"The fuck are you talking about? I get along just fine, it's only your fucking son that goes crying to mommy," he said.
"My son shouldn't be paying for whatever your situation is or how your parents have raised you," I said, quickly realizing that I may have gone too far as the adult in the conversation.
He smiled and asked, "And you haven't raised him to be paper soft? You should be thanking me for toughening him up to the real world, no?"
I stayed quiet for a moment, unsure of what to respond, before getting up to pick up my purse and put an end to the disorganized mess I had gotten myself into.
"Either you stop or there will be consequences," I said, drawing the line as I walked past him towards the door.
"Now you wanna threaten me," he said, laughing in disbelief.
He followed me to the door and pinned me against it, pressing his bulge against my backside.
"You come to my house and try to tell me what to do, but all you cause is this," he angrily said.
"I'm sorry, no, I didn't mean to," I apologized, trying to de-escalate the situation.
"Bullshit. That doesn't cut it." he said. "You've got yourself in trouble now."
"No, I'm just trying to be a good mother," I explained.
"You're a good mother alright, one hot ass MILF," he said, once again showing his perverted wit then grabbing a handful of my ass.
"Stop, don't do something you'll regret," I tried reasoning with him.
"Oh, I won't regret it, neither will you," he said, dry humping me with his hardening erection.
I tested his strength by trying to free myself from his grasp but it was to no avail. I thought about screaming for help, but I knew that would only make him angrier.
"You're hurting me. Please let me go," I pleaded.
"I'll let you go and leave your son alone, but you gotta help me out," he said.
I hadn't come to negotiate with him but the circumstances had changed and I wasn't in a position of leverage. I didn't need the adrenaline rushing through my body to figure out what he wanted. He wanted my body and even if it wasn't the time to acknowledge such a thing, the truth was that I I had been a divorced woman for several years and my flesh had gone unattended for too long.
For the sake of my son, I succumbed to my carnal desires, and voluntarily pushed my ass back against him to grind on the bulge tenting his shorts.
