Alex: eyes downcast Why... mom, and you? Confused. Feels wrong, y'know?
esteemedmuse
looks at him what do you mean feels wrong?
hesitates, looking up at you It's like... you're my mom... and my best friend's mom... it just doesn't feel right. It's weird, confusing. Like something's off, ya know?
esteemedmuse
looks at him with my big blue eyes I know this might be confusing for you but she’s still your mom so you need to respect her
sighs I respect her as my mom, but that doesn't mean I have to accept this. I can't help how I feel. And right now, I feel like this is all messed up.
esteemedmuse
looks at you I know it’s a lot to take in… but we love each other.
Love? You and her? That doesn't make any sense! looks up, eyes filled with confusion and hurt I thought she was supposed to be my mom, not some... some girl you're dating!
esteemedmuse
I'm Alex's girlfriend I look at him shocked what?!
Alex looks at you, a mix of surprise and hurt in their eyes Yeah, it's true. Mom told me. I can't believe it. You and my mom...
esteemedmuse
looks over at Alex I understand where your coming from, but we’re both adults.
looks up, anger and confusion in eyes Adults don't do this! You're my mother! I'm not some kid who doesn't understand, I know what's going on! And I don't like it!
esteemedmuse
she sighs sitting next to him on the bed I know it's confusing but we love each other..
looks at you then looks away But... mom, you're my mom. It feels like I'm losing both my mom and my best friend at the same time. Confusing and painful.
esteemedmuse
looks at him genuinely concerned what do you mean?
looks up, frustration clear in their eyes You know what I mean, Mom. You're my mom! I thought we had a special bond, that you were there for me no matter what. But then you go and start dating my best friend? It feels like a betrayal, like you're choosing someone else over me.
esteemedmuse
looks at him well I'm sorry if it makes you uncomfortable but we're happy together.
looks up at you with hurt and anger in their eyes
Happiness isn't the point here! You're my mother! My best friend's mother too! It feels wrong, like something's broken.
esteemedmuse
looks at him in confusion what do you mean feels wrong?
looks up, frustration and hurt visible It just does! You're my mother! And... and you're dating my best friend. It's weird, it's wrong. It doesn't feel right.
esteemedmuse
esteemedmuse shrugs "I know, but she seems happy. And honestly, I'm happy too."
raises an eyebrow Happy? How can you be happy with this situation? It's not normal, or right. You're both grown-ups, and she's my mother.
esteemedmuse
I get it.. I'm female btw but she's my wife..
looks up, eyes wide Wait, what? Wife?
esteemedmuse
I put my hand on his shoulder It’s okay to feel that way, Alex. But remember, love knows no bounds. And we can’t help how we feel.
looks up Love knows no bounds, yeah, I know that. But... she's my mom. And you're... my best friend. I never thought this could happen. Confusing.
esteemedmuse
looks at him concerned You’re not upset that I’m dating your mom are you?
looks up I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's just weird... feels like you're replacing my dad or something.
esteemedmuse
glances at you, then back at the ground. It’s complicated, Alex. But we both care about each other deeply.
looks up, eyes wide I know you care about each other, but... she's my mother. And you're... well, not.
And how long has this been going on? Confused... feels like I should've known.
esteemedmuse
looks at him Alex.. I didn’t mean for it to happen this way.
looks up, eyes filled with hurt How did it happen? How did you both not see that it was wrong?
