I Got Dad's Eyes By Gerbil Father and son are defeated by mother and daughter Ten year old David Rogers is beaten up by Samantha Hawkins. When the father goes to demand an apology, he is defeated by Samantha's mother. I tried to sneak quietly in the front door, but the minute I stepped inside I was greeted by my father's booming bass voice. He called me over to where he was sitting on the couch to see if I wanted to go to a ball game. I tried to explain that I had to get upstairs to my bedroom, but he insisted that I go to him first, and that's when he saw my swollen black and blue eye. He bellowed, "What in the hell happened to you?" I knew I was in for it. Pop didn't mind me fighting. He reasoned that all ten-year-old normal boys enjoyed a good scrape, and as long as my opponent came out looking worse than I did, he was glad to see I was not a "pansy" or what he referred to as "sissy boys". I didn't want to tell him that Sam had beaten me up, and I really didn't want to tell him that Sam was short for Samantha. Samantha Hawkins. He hit the roof when he heard that. After he calmed down a bit, he explained to me...and to himself I think, that the reason a girl had beaten me is because at my young age, girls mature faster than boys and that it was natural that they win fights at my age. I didn't want to burst his bubble by telling him that my ten year old classmate was the class champion of arm wrestling, or that she had previously pinned 16 year old Danny Watkins in a wrestling match. I haven't taken a lot of health and science classes, but I'm pretty sure that Danny had reached puberty, and he was 6 inches taller and 40 pounds heavier than Sam. The worst part about my battle with Samantha, a part that I can't tell my father or anyone else for that matter, is that for some reason, after Sam knocked me flat with a series of punches, she ended up straddling me, and for some unexplainable reason, I got a boner, or I guess the proper term is an erexshion; or something like that. I only felt it one other time, when I saw a Playboy owned by Billy Jenkins father. I can't explain my reaction to Sam. I was totally beaten and humiliated in front of my friends, but when she straddled me, and I saw her white panties peeking out of the opening of her shorts, my penis just started to grow. The more I struggled uselessly against her muscular young thighs and powerful arms, the harder my penis grew. I don't think anyone else noticed it, or I would have really taken some ribbing. I couldn't talk my Dad into just letting go of the matter. We had to go to Sam's house and confront his parents and Sam, and demand an apology. I was quiet the whole way over in the car, and when we stopped in front of her house, I begged him one last time to turn around and go home, but he wouldn't hear of it. We moved up the sidewalk, rang the bell, and after a minute or two, a beautiful brunette older lady...about 30, answered the door. She had her jet-black hair pulled back in a ponytail, and she was about two inches shorter than my father's 5'11". She was barefoot, and her legs were muscular and golden brown. After introducing ourselves, we learned that this muscular woman wiping the sweat from her brown with a towel draped around her neck, was Samantha's mother. We were invited in, and I heard a rhythmic pounding. We entered a room off the entryway, and there was Sam, steadily working out on a speed bag. I watched her muscular young body, a smaller version of her perfectly developed mother, and was in awe of her skill and beauty. I felt that same strange sense of excitement as I watched her developing ten year old body, arms whirring in a steady motion as her young biceps noticeably danced, and seemed to taunt me for my own weakness. Her midriff was rippling with hard young muscle, and the only thing hiding her young developing breasts was a blue jogging which matched her silk clinging shorts. I could see the muscles of her shoulders and back gyrate in a symphony of motion, and hated myself for feeling excited by her young pre-teen body, much less, by a woman old enough to be my mother. I tried to disguise my thoughts by looking down at my feet, but steal glances by letting my eyes move up, first to view my sexy classmate, then to her mother as she proudly looked on. The rhythmic pounding suddenly stopped and Sam grabbed it with her taped hands to stop the motion. "That was great Sam. That's enough for the day. Come on over here for a second will ya Hon?" Sam jogged over to where the three of us were standing and I kept my eyes glued to my feet, and felt my heart racing 100 miles an hour. She gave my arm a shot and said, "Hey Dweeb, how's the eye?" I think my father saw red at that point, because he grabbed Sam by the shoulders and turned her to face him and in a furious threatening voice said, "You will apologize to my son for calling him names, and also for hitting him when we have instructed him over and over that he is to never hit a girl." I held my breath and wanted to just run and hide as I heard Ms. Hawkins in a steady threatening voice say "You have to the count of three to get your hands off my daughter, or I will have to remove them myself. I think my father was a little shocked by this, but he did slowly remove his hands by the count of two. Then he slowly turned towards Ms. Hawkins and gave a smile. "It's obvious Ms. Hawkins that my son was at a disadvantage in not being able to fight back when he was attacked by your young daughter. Both of us have to realize that had Samantha been a boy, my son could have fought back, and the outcome would have been far different. Therefore, I want an apology, and I'm not leaving until we get one." "The only thing obvious to me Mr. Rogers is that your son provoked my daughter, and she soundly and fairly defended herself. Young girls and women are no longer living in the 19th Century Mr. Rogers. We are not the frail damsels you seem to think we are. I'm proud of my daughter's athletic skills and assertiveness. I think your son may have learned a valuable lesson early; something obviously that you still haven't learned." My Dad gave a little laugh and said "Oh really Ms. Smartass? What's that?" I cringed and a voice in my head screamed "Dad, what are you doing?!" "I've heard enough Mr. Rogers. You'll find some of my ex-husband's shorts in that room. Change, and I'll meet you here in ten minutes. You beat me in a fight, and you'll get an apology from both my daughter and from me. If I win... I don't want anything. Just having your son witness his father being defeated by a woman will be reward enough for me." "Lady, I have never hit a woman in my life, but I am going to enjoy knocking you out. I'll be right out." Ms. Hawkins went inside the ring to the side of the large room and began limbering up. I watched as she bent over and felt my eyes grown wide. Her legs were spread wide and her calf muscles and hamstrings were clearly visible, along with half of the cheeks of her round chiseled buttocks. I was suddenly aware of Sam watching me, and when I turned to her, she had a knowing smile on my face, which caused me to turn five shades of red. "You like muscles on girls and women don't ya Dweeb?" Defensively I shot back, "Stop calling me Dweeb...and yes, I guess I do like muscles on girls. Maybe I am just a Dweeb." "Maybe I was wrong about you Dweeb....I mean David. You are kind of cute...for a boy, and any boy who realizes that a girl can be stronger than him and can accept it can't be all bad." I gave a shy smile and tentatively asked, "So maybe we could be friends, and maybe you could teach me how to wrestle and box better?" Sam held out her hand with a smile and I could have flown as I felt her strong grip, and knew that we would be great friends for years to come. So what if I might never match her physically or even mentally. I could be eternally happy following her lead, wherever it would take the two of us. Dad interrupted my happy thoughts as he returned, bare chested, in the borrowed shorts. Sam leaned over to me looking at the slight paunch on his stomach, and whispered, "Think he stands a chance?" I smiled and felt a little guilt going against my Pop, but said, "What's the grownup saying?... a snowball's chance in hell?" I liked when Sam laughed at that, and even when she punched my arm again as we shared my "joke." Sam and I took a seat on a nearby couch and watched as my Dad entered and started limbering up. Both parents put on boxing gloves, then met at the center of the ring and stared each other in the eyes as they talked to each other. Sam and I couldn't hear what was said, but the looks on both of their faces said they were both dead serious. "You ever kissed a girl?" I couldn't believe what I thought I had just heard from Sam. "What?" "I said...Digleweed.....sorry...David, have you ever kissed a girl?" I looked back at my fidgeting thumbs and tried to make light of it... "Lots of girls...my mom, my aunt Mildred, Grandma Rogers..." another punch, but I was getting used to them, because it meant she sort of liked me. There was an uncomfortable silence, and then I could feel Sam's head moving closer and closer to mine. Suddenly our lips were touching and although it only lasted a second or two, that first real kiss was incredible." All I could do was smile and say, "Wow, that was nice." I couldn't believe I said that...."Wow that was nice?...I am a Dweeb. Our attention was brought back to movement in the ring and we could see that our parents had started their fight. I thought to myself, "Maybe this is how divorced people meet these days. A love connection? Stranger things have happened I guessed." As I watched the punches start to fly, I hardly saw it as a love connection. I had never seen my Pop fight...or exercise for that matter, so I was kind of proud of him when a right and left landed. Unfortunately for my Dad, for every two of his that landed, five of Sam's mother's would land, and from my father's pained expression, they packed a lot of power. I know I shouldn't have been watching Ms. Hawkins and thinking such thoughts, but she was an incredible woman. She moved about the ring in an almost liquid graceful motion, and her thighs and calves bunched provocatively as she danced in and out of my father's range. I could see the strong arms flexed, guarding her face, and the elbows standing guard over her taught hard stomach. If any punches did land, they were doing little harm, and as the match wore on, I could see my father slowing, and dropping his own guard lower. He was also back-pedaling and Ms. Hawkins was beginning to connect at will. Suddenly she unleashed a hard uppercut that jerked my father's head way back, and sent sweat flying. My father's body looked like it was in slow motion, as he fell over backward hitting the canvas. He slowly rolled to his side and shook his head, then got to his knees, then was able to stand...though a bit wobbly. I stared in wide-eyed amazement at the muscular Ms. Hawkins as she calmly returned to her corner to wait until my father was ready to continue. I had never seen a grown woman knock down a grown man before and I was mesmerized. Sam said, "Mom's not bad is she?" I watched the woman who stood before me and said the first thing that came to my head. "She's incredible." My Dad brushed off his gloves and signaled that he was ready to continue. They moved toward each other, but my Dad was more tentative now, and was mainly on the defensive, only occasionally throwing an ineffective punch. Sam's mother continued to advance, and it was apparent to all four of us what the outcome would be at that point. She sent rights and lefts to his stomach once again causing him to drop his guard. Then she peppered his face with punches cutting his lip and sending a small stream of blood down the side of his mouth. I could see my Dad's eyes glass over as his guard was completely gone, and he barely stood on rubbery legs. Ms. Hawkins was now measuring her punches, each one landing with power and crispness. My Dad was weaving, out on his feet when Ms. Hawkins really wound up and let a left right combination fly, sending my Dad to the canvas out cold. Sam and I went out back and just hung out and talked while Ms. Hawkins revived my Dad. After about 20 minutes he came and got me and we headed out through the house. I was really glad to see my Dad and Sam's mom shake hands before we headed toward our car. Silently we pulled out of their drive and headed home. Dad was the first to speak, saying, "Son, would it bother or embarrass you if I dated a woman who could beat me up?" I just put my hand on my Pop's shoulder and smiled, "Not if you didn't mind me having a soda or just hanging out with her daughter who can do likewise to me." Both of us just smiled and sat back as we continued our drive home with matching shiners.
