This week has been hell for me, besides being left with the worst case of blue balls I have ever had, I had to answer some uncomfortable questions from my parents. At first, I could just give general answers, but soon, mom wanted more specifics.
"What is it that you're going to do, since you have to leave in a week to some secret location for 'training'?" My mom asked.
"Mom, it's just something that needs me to be away for a while. You know that some government work can be very sensitive, and I really can't talk about it." I replied, embarrassed, and a little standoffish.
My father was a bit more understanding, and let it go with my general replies. But I could see the concern on his face when I couldn't give them a straight answer to my mother's questions.
"Babe, leave the boy alone. If he can't talk about it, it must be very important, and besides you're embarrassing him with the interrogation." He told my mother, in his gentle tone that he used to get his point across.
On Tuesday, which was my online gaming night with my college buddies, I had to tell them that I'd be out of the group, and that this was going to be my last gaming session. After a few rounds, Jake was the first one to start asking questions.
"So, Doofus, what are you going to be doing that's so secret that you won't be able to hang anymore; are you going into the military, become a spy, or just going off world to start a new colony like in the old sci-fi series?" He asked. I could tell the smug smirk he had in his voice, the one he had when he was curious about something.
Soon the rest of the guys joined in with Andy being the one that could have found out easily, since his father was a government administrator for the Agriculture Ministry. I finally stopped giving any specific answers to their questions and stuck to generalities for the rest of the game.
As the night wore on, the rest of the guys disconnected from the game leaving just Andy and myself finishing the round. I decided to call it a night, and was getting ready to disconnect, when Andy sent me the last message of the night.
"Have fun at the Training Camp, if you have some free time, just come online on Tuesdays for a game and a chat." Followed by a bull emoji. Then abruptly disconnected, leaving me to wonder what he knew and what he would tell our group.
Thursday night dinner was awkward to say the least. My mom was gushing over me like I was never going to see her again. She was so emotional, that she was carrying my old teddy bear from when I was a baby around the house. My dad was his usual stoic self, but I could see that he was worried, and proud at the same time.
"Setting out on your own; a good job although, a bit secretive; I'm sure you'll be able to keep in touch with some calls or letters." He said.
"My baby, is leaving me. I thought I'd be able to handle it, but I miss you already Johnny Boy." My mom said, her voice breaking a little.
I was surprised when she called me that, since that was her nickname for me when I was in Kindergarten. I could see how emotional she was so I stood up, wrapped my arms around her and gave her the longest hug I have given her since I was six years old. Soon, she calmed down and was just letting me hold her, I could feel the front of my shirt moistened by a few tears. I bid both of them good night and went off to my room to get ready for bed and try to get some sleep.
"When do you think he'll come back?" I heard my mom ask my father.
"I don't know, but I can tell you that he will come back." He replied.
I set my alarm undressed and got into bed. I couldn't fall asleep with the questions bouncing around in my head, as well as the images of buxom women teasing me, calling out, all of them in various stages of undress and arousal. Finally, I managed to close my eyes and fall into a fitful sleep.
All too soon, I was awoken by my alarm, I saw that I had only gotten about four hours of sleep, and that was all I was going to get until I was at my destination. Grabbing my bags, a cup of coffee and a bagel, I hugged my mom good bye, her tears moistening my shirt once again, giving my father a man-hug I walked out the door to catch the next AirTrain to the government office district.
After a long ride, and feeling like it was much too short at the same time, I stepped up to the main entrance to the DHRA building. After the customary check in at the reception desk, I made my way down to the lower level. I was met by Dr. Singh once again, and escorted to a different part of the department, this one was set up almost the same as the one where I did my testing, only that now there was a cart where I was told to place my luggage.
