"You're a good cook, Mrs. Jones." Evan couldn't believe the dinner table at the Joneses'. It was more like Thanksgiving than the dinners his Mom fixed. He was in heaven.
"Thank you Evan." Karen Jones was enjoying having two young men to cook for. Graham was such a glutton that she hardly needed to make an effort. He'd eat anything put in front of him. Maybe Evan would be different. "I like to cook and I'm a sucker for compliments. I don't know much about your preferences so I just figured I'd make a lot and let you decide."
"I like pretty much everything. I won't be any trouble for you."
Even had always thought Mrs. Jones was one of the prettiest Mom's in town, way younger than his own Mom. Some of his friends said she was fat but Evan liked her curvy body and generous breasts bulging provocatively out of a tight top.
"Take some more chicken."
Evan looked at Erin Jones to his left.
"Thanks." he said taking three more pieces. "And pass the potatoes."
Erin's face dropped and Evan added quickly "Please."
Erin was a pest, always hanging around like he was some kind of pop star or something. Unlike her mother, Erin was a tomboy with her hair in braids, freckles and braces. And she was a pitcher on the school softball team.
With three sets of female eyes watching, Evan did himself proud. He wanted to belch but modesty required him to stay civilized for his new family.
"Get enough to eat. Evan?"
Evan nodded. He wasn't used to this kind of indulgence. He watched his friend Graham shovel food like a starving man. This was so different from home. His mother always watched his portions like a hawk. She rode heard over the Carpenter men. When Evan was younger he remembered his Dad with a big belly and a hearty appetite. Mrs. Carpenter had taken her husband in hand. The belly was long gone.
"You boys do your homework." Mrs. Jones told them. "Then you get desert.. Help me clean up, girls."
