Incest Quarantined with Mom

[neerathemall]

Afterwards, we rested in our small room. My mother and I each had separate beds. I was lounging on my bed watching television, while my mother was on her bed looking at brochures for the next place we were going to visit.
She was also drinking more of the freshly squeezed juice from the island, which she couldn't get enough of.
"I hope you're interested in scuba diving," she said, with her eyes flipping through the pages. "The coral reefs look stunning. I'd love to see it up close."
"Damn right I'm interested. I've always wanted to go scuba diving."
"Wonderful. It'll be a first time experience for both of us."
"Yeah," I passively replied with my eyes still on the tv.
"Then it's settled."
Through the corner of my eye, I saw my mother staring at me, which was kind of uncomfortable and awkward. I turned to look at her and saw my mother with a faint loving smile on her face.
"Can I help you with something?" I jokingly asked.
"I think it's great that we're finally spending so much time together. I've been so busy with work, and you've been busy with college."
"We see each other everyday mom."
"This is different. You're becoming a grown man. Someday when you have kids, you'll understand what I'm trying to say."
Before I could reply, the ship's intercom system was suddenly activated and we listened to the oncoming message:
Attention all passengers,
This is the Captain speaking. Do not be alarmed, but there has been an incident on board this ship involving the accidental release of insects, which had been illegally stored by a passenger. None of the insects are believed to be dangerous at the present moment.
For precautionary reasons, we urge all passengers to remain in their rooms for the next several hours while our crew works diligently to restore safety.
Thank you all for your cooperation. We will inform you once the ship is clear.
Captain Johnson
My mother's eyes suddenly had a look of panic.
"Oh my gosh," she said. "I hope no one gets hurt."
"It'll be fine. The Captain just said there's no danger. We'll just hang out in the room until everything clears."
She nodded. "You're probably right. So much for our plans this evening."
"I know. We're under quarantine now. I guess we're trapped together."
"You say that like it's a bad thing," she said with a motherly expression on her face.
"No way," I replied, trying to smooth things over. "I don't mind being locked in a room with you."
She flashed a playful, yet skeptical look. "Looks like we'll be here a while before dinner. I desperately need a long nap. It's been a long day."
"I know. Me too."
My mother put the brochure away, along with her empty cup, and she laid on her bed and closed her eyes. I turned the tv off and did the same. There wasn't anything better to do.
