    My mother had recently remarried a very nice man, the corporate type you understand. He was kind, well spoken and above all, he treated my mother like a princess. Nothing was too good for her in his eyes, a good thing in my view. In the years since my father had passed, it seemed as if she had become a shadow of the person I remembered, gloomy, isolated and lost. I was more than pleased when the two of them married. Her happiness was all that mattered. With the wedding came a new home and a new stepbrother, both on the west coast of the United States. There were a few negatives to my new stepfather. One was his work ethic. He is a workhorse! Easily he maintained a sixty-hour workweek. Travel and countless number of meetings filled his days. The other meant my mother would now be home alone in California with my new unruly seventeen-year old stepbrother. My poor mom hadn’t been accustomed to raising a boy. Thomas was brazen and disobedient. I thought him to be cute, yes, but definitely spoiled and entitled. On two separate occasions he had wrecked his car, only for his father to buy him another without any sort of hesitation. Both of the incidents had been caused by his carelessness and showboating. As for Thomas’s grades they were an embarrassment to the word academia. A sad situation for a father so accomplished, who maintained high hopes for his only son.

My mother had the luxury of raising, to her knowledge, a sweet innocent little girl, carnal indiscretions aside. It went without saying when my mother advised me, Richard, my stepdad, would be out of town for two weeks and she would be alone watching over Thomas, I knew it was time for a visit. It had been almost a year since I had seen her and Thomas. So, while I was there I’d help out and perhaps straighten Thomas out a little. --- Prior to my visit, Thomas had been in some legal troubles. He had assaulted his Spanish teacher and he had been charged. Due to his colorful past and his flagrant disregard for authority, the judge had sentenced him to house arrest. I was shocked and honestly displeased. I could believe that even Thomas’s involvement with a hockey team hadn’t taught him any discipline. About midway through my visit, my mother had unexpectedly been called away on an urgent business trip and she asked me to house sit my wild, new seventeen-year-old stepbrother. It made sense that he needed supervision, if only so he didn’t burn the house down. --- Thomas is a cute brash boy thick light brown hair and piercing blue eyes. He is 6’2” with a muscular and athletic frame and apparently a bit of a charmer with the teen girls at his school. His bravado and bad boy attitude did have a certain cutesy allure, I admit. He reminded me of young Chris Hemsworth. In the year I had ...
