It was early in the morning when I woke up. I assumed Haley forgot about her own plan so I headed downstairs to go get breakfast. To my surprise, Haley was already dressed and she was taking a sip of her coffee.
"What are you doing?!" She said and almost chocked on her coffee. "Go get dressed. I already told dad that I'm meeting a friend and that you wanted to come with me." I just stood there. This must be something really important to Haley because she was never so-
"What are you doing just standing there? Go on, run." Haley said as she took another sip. I quickly got ready and ran outside to the car. Haley was already there and I don't ever remember Haley being that punctual.
"You ready?" She asked. I nodded. "Alright. I got the location on my phone. Once we arrive you go up to their room. It'll be room 415. Just talk to mom and try to like make up some problem. Record everything on your phone and before you leave say that you know."
"Know what?" I asked.
"Nothing. Depending on her response, we'll know if they hooked up or not. That's what the recording is for." Haley's plan seemed pretty easy to follow but the question kept on bothering me:
"What is so important about this to you? Why do you need to know if they hooked up or not?" I asked Haley. Yesterday, I simply made an observation now Haley wants to get all involved with it.
"I'm bored Alex. I really am. And I can't stay inside that house for one more day or I will literally lose my mind." Haley said as she backed out of the driveway. "Do you understand the plan?" I just nodded.
"We'll be there soon so don't worry." She said once more. I really wasn't ready for whatever I would discover.
Haley parked at the entrance of the hotel and we executed the plan. I walked into the hotel and got into the elevator. I slowly walked towards room 415 and put me ear to the door. I heard the shower running and laughed in the background. The laughter was obviously Gloria's. Then another laugh joined. The shower hadn't stopped and it sounded like the laughter was coming from the same place. Are they in the shower together? I thought. I shook my head and took a deep breath. Don't get distracted. Just relax and knock on the door. I knocked on the door and then heard no motion. I knocked on the door again but louder, and then heard a shower curtain move and the shower rings jingle. I pulled out my phone, started recording and put it back in my pocket. I heard soft footsteps slowly approach the door and then the door open. My mom answered wearing a white robe that was a little lower than her knees. She had a shocked expression on her face which didn't really seem like a good sign.
"Oh Hi Alex." She said in shock.
"Hi Mom," I said as I confidently sat on the only bed in the room. The sheets were all tangled and moved to the bottom of the bed. Did they share a bed last night? Another bad sign. I tried to subtly observe the room that had a couch with a TV placed in front of it. There was a door in the corner which I just assumed was the bathroom. I could feel my mothers eyes staring me down.
"Is something wrong?" She asked. I shook my head. and avoided eye contact. "Oh uh then why are you here?" I glared at her as if I were quietly judging her. "Honey, you know I love you but I just didn't expect to see you here." She said. I looked down at the floor and noticed two bras laying on the floor in front of me. One was the one my mom packed last night and the other- I could just assume it was Gloria's. Undergarments' on the floor? Another bad sign.
"What happened?" She asked. I looked back at her. I wanted to make sure everything was okay. I decided to ask her series of questions for Haley's recording.
"Before we get to that, where did you sleep?" I asked out of context as if I were interrogating her.
"I slept on the couch." She said answering the question rather quick. A little too quick for her to seem 'innocent.' I looked over at the couch.
"Why didn't you just get a room with 2 beds? It would've been more convenient." I said as I tilted my head.
"Gloria accidently reserved the suite and there wasn't any more rooms available." She answered again. A little too quick again. Another bad sign. I thought to myself.
"There are no blankets on the couch." I observed.
"I wasn't cold."
"It was pretty cold last night though." I said as I stared back at her.
"Well I wasn't." She said in defensive. "Back to you, what is the problem? You couldn't of possible come all the way here just to check-in on me. So I ask again- What is the problem?" Changing the topic I see. Another bad sign.
"Okay so I need some advice. There is this boy-" I said trying to make something up until I was interrupted by half-naked Gloria. Gloria came into the room wearing her red laced bra and underwear. She stopped walking when she saw me.
"OH MY GOD GLORIA!" My mother yelled trying to lie as if she had fooled me. I gasped. My mom stepped in front of me so I couldn't see Gloria. Walking in practically naked knowing that only my mother was here and I wasn't? Not surprised- Another bad sign. I thought to myself
"I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE IN HERE!" Gloria yelled back as she scrambled to grab a robe that was on closest to her.
"I'm gonna leave and talk to Alex outside while you get changed here. I'll knock when I'm back." She said as she grabbed me by the shoulders and lead me outside of the room. She looked back at Gloria. I heard her bite the air, as if I was not right in front of her. Gloria chuckled. Flirtatious biting of air and a chuckle? At this point I'm the only one counting the bad signs. I thought to myself. She closed the door and lead me further down the hall. When we stopped I stared at her trying to clear up the elephant in the room but that came of as a weird look.
"So? What is it? What is the advice you need?" She asked as she crossed her arms not staining anything that I had just witnessed.
"You know what? Never mind." I said as I slowly started to turn around and walk away.
"No,no no. You said that you needed advice so what is it? You didn't come all this way for no reason." She insisted.
"I'll just ask Uncle Mitch or Haley." I said. More like update Haley but whatever.
"There is a reason you didn't call. What happened? What is it?" She said.
"Mom, I'll just ask someone else. Relax and enjoy the rest of you trip." I said. Then I looked back at her and gave the weird look that I did earlier. "I know what happened." I whispered. "I'm not gonna tell anyone but don't act like you don't know what happened." I said.
"Wait, What?" She asked, hoping that I was talking about something else and not some sort of hook-up. Get this woman an Oscar! I sarcastic thought to myself as she acted like she was completely clueless.
"Don't act like you don't know."
"No Alex, I actually don't know what you are talking about."
"Sure you don't."
"Alex tell me what it is. I don't know what you're talking about." She said. She wasn't gonna admit anything was she? I gave her a chance and she didn't take it. I thought. I tilted my head and tried to act dumb.
"Wait you don't actually know what I'm talking about?" I said. She shook her head.
"Not at all." I looked at her with a confused gaze. "So what is it?"
"Oh, Uh- Dad." I said trying to make something up. I should've prepared. She would've asked either way. She knew that I was lying but she didn't say anything about it. "He is just kinda cleaning up some stuff at home and like rearranging the whole house. I think I'm gonna go now." I said as I walked off. He's cleaning some stuff up? What the hell is that?
"How are you gonna get home?" She asked as I awkwardly started to leave the conversation.
"Uncle Mitch drove me. Bye!" Uncle Mitch? Really? Now I'm just lying. She's totally gonna call dad and Uncle Mitch and try to figure it out. Damn it!
"Bye Alex." She said as I got further down the hall. I just waved back. I made my way back to the parked car where Haley was sitting quietly as she texted. I opened the door.
"You're finally back." She stated. "Did you record it?" I nodded.
"Yeah. I have right here on my phone." I pulled out my phone and found the recording. Luckily, my phone was sticking out of my pocket a little bit so Haley was able to see a little bit of the room. She observed in silence as she watched the recording. She finished it and gave me back my phone.
"Yep. Just as I said." Haley said.
"So they did hook-up?" I asked.
"Uh-OBVIOUSLY. Did you not see the room? One bed, 2 bras on the floor, Gloria walking into the room practically naked knowing that mom was the only one in the room, the bite of air mom did. And she kept on changing the topic." Haley said.
"So what do we do?" I asked.
"Nothing." Haley answered looking back at her phone.
"What do you mean nothing?" I asked. "Why did you make this plan if you weren't gonna do anything with the information?"
"Like I told you, I'm bored."
"That's not an excuse! Mom's having an affair with her step mom and we aren't gonna do anything about that?"
"What can we do then?" I looked down. "Exactly. Even if we wanted to do something we can't." She backed the car out of the parking lot and made her way to the exit.
"We can't tell anyone we know this information. Do you understand?" I nodded. "Now let's just go home and let them do whatever they want."
Update: The next chapter might take a while to upload because it's gonna be the smuttiest and the longest chapter I've ever done. Expect it to be uploaded on July 5th which is a week from today.
