A rush of new memories began flooding my brain as reality began reknitting itself. Moments ago I had been watching a table of anonymous college girls and their mothers, but now I recognized chubby Christy, redheaded Taylor, Jessica's mom Pam, and Jessica who was now snuggled tight against me. "Pete what the hell did you just do?" I thought to myself as I realized that at 28 years old I'm now somehow dating a 20 year old college girl. As if in autopilot I slung my arm around Jessica's slim waist pulling her tight to me.
"Pete don't worry mom will warm up to you." Jessica's sweet voice drew me back to the situation at hand. It turns out Pam wasn't a fan of me dating Jessica. She had been a shy introvert before we had met when she was an intern at my work. Since then she had come out of her shell, and Pam was not happy about that. It wasn't so much that Jessica was dating me, it was more than Jessica had finally became comfortable with her own body and now outshined her mother. "Do you want to come over to the dorms tonight? Or are we going to your place?" Jessica asked as Taylor and Christy motioned for her to rejoin the group.
