A Mom's Job To Ask

Alison Rey figured it was just another lazy day until she spotted the laptop on the couch. Porn played across the screen in vivid detail, and she froze. That's when it hit her - this wasn't some stranger's computer. It belonged to her stepson, Jay Romero. When Jay shuffled in after she called his name, he took one look at the open screen and his face went white. The tension sat thick until Alison finally spoke up, asking why he turned to videos instead of talking to real women. Jay mumbled about being shy, avoiding her eyes. Turns out shy was just half the story. Turns out Jay's tongue-tied not around girls in general - he's tongue-tied around her specifically. The words hung between them like they'd both swallowed marbles. Jay started to spiral, convinced he'd blown up their whole relationship. Alison watched his panic building and made a split-second choice. She could let his confidence shatter, or she could give him what he'd secretly wanted all along. Her hand reached for him as the porn still flickered in the background, the room suddenly thick with the decision she'd just made.
