“Uh, Cindy I’m going to call you later. I’m doing somethingright now.” Cindy’s mom saying on the other end.

“Is that the best you can do; get on your knees.” A man onthe same end of the phone with Cindy’s phone says forgetting the women’sdaughter was on the phone.

Even Cindy know her mother was having sex; her mother wasn’ta pornstar but she acted like she was.

Cindy’s mother put the phone down and Cindy kept hearing hermother moaning, the man moaning, cursing and giving off sexual noises.

“I don’t know what to tell you on that; but, I will tell youthat it’s going to take a long time for her forgive you for what she has doneto you.” Sean says.

“I don’t want to be mean but, I hope she suffers real hardfor what she’s done. I just can’t deal with her right now.” Cindy says.

“You might not want to say that. I know it’s hard for youright now; but, your smarter than that. These past few days have been nothingbut special for me since we have met. I don’t want to lose it by you hatingyour mother.” Sean says.

“Can I budge in the conversation for a few?” Seanah asks.

“Sure.” Cindy says.

“My brother has been nothing but a pain to me; but, when itcomes down to girls like you Cindy. He’s crazy about you and about thisconversation; he’s absolutely right. Most girls that have come home with mybrother have been the worst; but, I never heard my brother give any good advicelike this to anyone about someone’s mother.” Seanah says.

“Really.” Cindy says.

“Yes, not only that; but, I don’t share any kind of emotionsor share my personal feelings about someone like you.” Sean says. “I just don’tsee you upset about your mom or anybody.” Sean says.

“Your right.” Cindy says. “I just don’t know why she just dothings like this you know.” Cindy says.

“Maybe it’s because she wanted to live the teenage life shenever had before.” Seanah says.

“You could be right?” Cindy asks.”Did she have to neglect methough?”Cindy asks.

“I’m sure she didn’t; but, maybe it’s hard for her to takecare of you because you’re the only child.”Seanah said.

“You know what, your right.” Cindy says.

“By the way were here.” Seanah says while pulling her car upto the garage.

Cindy takes a deep breath opening the door while getting outthe car.
