The Spell - Family Ties Ch. 01

"Fine," Aaron agreed, "Let's do it,"

Clark smiled and jogged back to the front door to give the woman the good news.

***

When the two men returned home they were in for quite a shock when they saw Rashida in the front yard on her knees digging around in the front garden her butt and the opening of her vagina in full view of passing cars,

"Mom, what the hell are you doing!" Aaron demanded, leaping out of the truck as Clark pulled into his driveway,

"Oh hey hon," Rashida smiled as she looked over her shoulder, "I'm afraid I've neglected my gardening for the past little while, so I thought a weeding was in order, especially considering this weather,"

"Yeah, I know it's heavenly," Aaron said sarcastically, "Mom, what are you doing outside? People can see you,"

"Yeah and they can see you as well," Rashida retorted, "Honey, I'm naked, I'm gonna be like this for the foreseeable future, now I've been cooped up in that house for months and I don't plan on letting a silly thing like this keep me trapped, no matter how much it embarrasses you,"

"Yeah, but..." Aaron stammered, struggling to put together words,

"Clark," Rashida interrupted after she noticed the man staring at her in a hypnotized state, "You got something to say?"

"Uh... no," Clark said, snapping out of his trance and going up his porch steps to hide inside his half of the duplex,

"Now are you gonna keep looking for birds or are you gonna go get me the weed puller from the backyard shed?" Rashida asked her son,

"I'll be right back," Aaron sighed,

He appreciated the opportunity to get a break from the nudity, the walk to the back shed allowing him to clear his head,

Little did he know that when he would return to the front yard his problem would have multiplied threefold,

"Good afternoon Joan," He heard his mother greet as he walked back to the front yard with the garden implement in hand,

Joan was Chloe's mother and an old friend of Rashida's and much like the daughter who was standing next to her and Aaron's mother who stood up to hug her she was naked as a jaybird.

"So the rumours are true," Joan grinned as the two hugged each other, "How are you dear?"

"Out of shape," Rashida admitted, "But feeling better than ever, thank you for the- oh shit, I got dirt all over you,"

As the two women pulled away from each other it was immediately apparent that the dirt from Rashida's garden had clung to Joan's front along with a great deal of sweat,

She tried to wipe it off with her hand but just managed to smear it across her friend's front.

Aaron questioned whether or not his luck was good or bad for ending up surrounded by so many good-looking naked women, but it certainly made things more uncomfortable,

"Don't worry about it," Joan chuckled, "That's what garden hoses and husbands are for,"

"Oh dear god," Chloe groaned before noticing Aaron was waiting by the front porch, walking up to them as their mothers continued talking.

"How's your day going?" She teased him as she sat down on the porch steps,

"Oh, just wonderfully," Aaron said sarcastically,

"Could be worse," Chloe shrugged, "This one girl I know, Katy, her dad was the first one infected in her household, had back acne like you wouldn't believe, at least your mom's hot,"

"Please don't," Aaron begged, "Clark's been about ready to burst a blood vessel all day, I've heard enough of it,"

"Sorry," Chloe apologized, "Force of habit,"

"Right..." Aaron said without thinking, "Wait, how in the hell is that a force of habit?"

"It's the etiquette for nudies to compliment each other's body," Chloe explained, "Apparently it's to contribute to body positivity,"

"Where did you hear this?" Aaron asked, his voice demonstrating his suspicion,

"Oh, there's this book," she answered, reaching into her purse and pulling out a small hardcover book, "It's kinda the leading piece of nudie literature,"

She handed Aaron the book, careful to not let her fingers touch his,

On the cover was a photo a rather attractive naked woman with her hands on her hips and her chest thrust forward, underneath her was the title,

"I know my breasts are great but tell me anyway: A guide to Nudie living,"

"So this is what you guys do all day?" Aaron asked, "Just compliment each other's boobs over and over?"

"I mean wouldn't you?" Chloe joked, thrusting her chest forward in a humorous manner,

"No comment," he remarked, stifling his reaction and handing the book back to her,

"No, keep it," Chloe insisted, "My sister brought home like 50 copies and we've been trying to get rid of them,"

"Well then I'll call you if I ever run out of toilet paper," Aaron joked,

"Believe me, not a good idea," Chloe frowned, shuddering at the memory,

"I'm not gonna ask," Aaron said, cringing as he imagined paper cuts in such undesirable places,

"That's for the best," Chloe giggled.

"Come on hon, we gotta run," Joan interrupted,

"Alright," Chloe answered, rising to her feet before turning towards Aaron, "So feel free to give that a read, or use it as a coaster if you want, it's up to you,"

"I could use a new coaster," Aaron joked, slipping the book under his arm,

"Well then that will be second to none," Chloe smiled, "Take it from me,"

"Chloe!" Joan called out impatiently, having already crossed the street,

"Coming!" She called back with great frustration in her voice, "Bye,"

"Bye," Aaron waved back,

He allowed himself to enjoy the way her body bounced as she jogged over to her mother.

"What did Chloe give you?" Rashida asked, snapping him out of his hypnotic state,

"Oh, a coaster," Aaron lied, hiding the book in his back pocket,

"Flirting has definitely changed since I was around," she remarked,

Aaron opened his mouth to object to the accusation of flirting but he never had a chance to,

"Are you working tomorrow?" She asked before he could speak,

"No, Clark has to take care of some paperwork before we start on Monday," Aaron answered,

"Good, I have some errands to run," Rashida explained, "I could use a lifter,"

"That's my name," Aaron sighed, walking into the front door, "Don't wear it out,"

Upon closing the door his face contorted and he kicked himself for not even attempting to come up with an excuse,

If he thought his mother walking around their home and front yard was challenging how the hell was he going to survive a trip to Costco with her?

He looked down at the book Chloe had given him with frustration,

The woman on the cover almost looked as if she was laughing at him, mocking his pain.

"Well fuck you too," he cursed at the flat image.
