Chapter 11
"Oh, honey," She seemed a little guilty at that and said, "You were coming back on such short notice. I was thinking of setting up your room with Denver but he needed a little persuasion. Your dad said he would talk to him when he returned. For now, you can rest in our room."
She seemed genuinely guilty and I wasn't blaming her for that. Also, my focus was on something else. With Denver. Yeah, right! I'd rather sleep out on the streets. And as for Mom and Dad's bedroom, although it was a good offer, I'd rather not go there because of my own preference.
"It's okay, Mom." I said first to placate her worries before I asked, "If I remember right, wasn't there a bed in the basement?"
"Huh?" She was dumbfounded by my reaction and then by my question. She wasn't alone, even Josephine was looking at me like I was someone else as she drank from her energy drink can. Seriously, she shouldn't drink those so early in the morning. Oh wait, she picked up that habit from me.
Anyway, back to the issue. Mom heard me and replied with a stutter, "Ye-Yes, there is."
"Cool. Then I will crash there." I said. She was once again shocked but her shock didn't last long this time as she said, "No, honey. The conditions down there aren't good."
Of course, they weren't. But I was used to worse. For the first time I had to sleep in a gutter was a terrible wake-up call.
Well, it was the only place where I was sure the village militia wouldn't look so I was safe there. It was a place I would have never expected to enter, let alone spend an entire night down there but when one's life was concerned, where and how were never the first questions.
So although I became strange to Mom and Josephine, if they knew about my inner thoughts, they would pity me, a lot.
"Al-alright then, sweetie. You rest. I will return soon from work today and make dinner on time." Mom said, a little estranged but she didn't pursue the issue.
I nodded to her and said, "Okay, then, Mom. See you."
She left, me and Josephine were still a little awkward so I didn't say anything and simply left the kitchen. I made my way to the basement and opened the door. A few years ago me wouldn't have used any other word than 'Shithole' for this place.
But, all I said was, "Meh. At least it's not a gutter, a forest full of predators, and the den of Jiangshi."
I hadn't taken out my luggage from the car except for this bag that I was still wearing on my back. It had only two of my outfits, both in jeans that I wasn't comfortable to wear.
I wanted to do some shopping but now that my total wealth was just twenty dollars, my first priority was to make some money. Of course, given my credentials, I didn't believe for a second that my first job would be an honest job. But in a city like Sapphire, there were tons of ways to make money, illegal ones of course.
But to a guy like me, illegal or not never mattered. I was a bit cautious now because I wasn't alone in the world anymore, without weakness, but I was still not going to make small-time cash by working at a café.
That type of work never suited me anyway. But that was for tomorrow. Today, I had to rest during the day, and at night, I had the most awkward conversation pending with Dad.
Forgetting about every useless thought, I fell on the bed\slash mattress and fell into the world of dreams.
********
I had a dream, a pleasant one. A disturbing one. A dream of my mother, naked. She was massaging my back. There was nothing lewd done in that dream. I remained on my back the entire time and she just kept massaging me the entire time.
The only problem was that she was naked. To the teeth. The one asset of her I remember as clearly as the day would be her breasts. Her magnificent G-cup breasts were defying gravity and waving with her every move.
I looked down at my cock that I hadn't relived ever since I came back to this world which was just two nights ago. But two days without relief from my class was just a representation of my self-control.
When I had just obtained that class, I was barely able to hold myself from jumping on a mother who was walking her child through the town. It was an endeavor that I was able to make it to the town's prostitute.
Later on, it was discovered that the prostitute was traumatized from sex and went into seclusion. I didn't really remember what I did to her, but whatever it was, it wasn't pleasant.
And it wasn't just her. Until I didn't learn to fully control myself, I had destroyed many pussies because of my insatiable lust.
That was half the reason why the factions of Murim came after me. The fact that I killed their leaders and apostles came later.
Anyway, as much as I wanted to take care of that, I hadn't had to use my hand for at least the last seven centuries so it was a little awkward for me to even think about it.
Still, I doubted this was going down anytime soon. I looked at the clock and it was seven in the evening and if the time when my family had dinner was still the same, I still had a good hour to spare so I decided to catch up on things.
Of course, with my laptop in the car, also considered confiscated, I only had my phone to look up on the news. An entire day had passed so there must be news of missing cattle from that small town. However, I found nothing.
Maybe they didn't care or it wasn't big enough to be covered yet. But in just fifteen minutes, my hardened dick had calmed down so I stood up and left the basement. Just because I was okay with living here doesn't mean that I was going to stay here all the time.
As I came out of the basement and up to the house, I found no one in the hallway, I made my way to the living room and it was empty as well. I turned my gaze to the first hallway and the lights of each of the bedrooms were on so I guessed everyone was busy doing their own things.
I made my way to the kitchen because I was feeling a little hungry and wanted to have something light before dinner.
When I entered the kitchen though, all my hunger went away because what I saw took away my breath. It wasn't that I hadn't seen this sight before, but how on earth was I not aroused by it before?
There stood my mom, at the kitchen counter, cutting vegetables and cooking. But that wasn't what mesmerized me though. In that tight top that exposed her belly and her small amount of cleavage, and those tight, tight soft trousers, my sleeping dick nonce again stirred.
It was a good thing my class was locked because I was sure as hell I wouldn't be able to control myself from jumping on her.
Her short hair that covered her neck at most exposed some of her flawless and no doubt smooth back as well. But what pulled me in the most was that ass. That ass that even though was covered, was not covered at all.
Anyone could easily imagine the outline of that ass and even feel it properly even with that thin fabric in between.
"Oh, honey! You're up." She noticed me a few minutes in, and that was also how I managed to stop myself from gawking at her. I mean, I was still looking, but not in a way that would be obvious and get me caught.
"Oh~ smells delicious." Of course, if I said nothing here, that would also be weird.
"Yeas. I'm cooking your favorite." Mom said.
"Wow," I said in surprise. Surprise as in I didn't even remember what my favorite food was. I was super picky about food but I stopped being so after I had to eat sewer rats. Not a pleasant experience.
"Anything I can help you with?" I asked.
"Oh," She said in surprise and said, "That's a surprise. You helping with cooking."
"Just trying to be useful," I said. I knew she was disappointed with me being kicked out of college too, just not as much as Dad, which was also why doing simple tasks like this would make my image a little better.
"Sure then. Cut these." She gave me the knife she was holding and slid the cutting board along with a few vegetables. I nodded and took the knife and began to chop the vegetables.
