Kyle Part 4
I woke up the next morning not remembering that I had ever set the alarm, yet there it was blaring. Something wasn't right though, I remembered last night, yet I was alone in bed. Had he bailed on me, was I just a one night stand after all. I get up, putting a pair of shorts on, open the bedroom door, walking into the living room. My breath returns to me, Kyle sits on the sofa, talking on his cell phone. He smiles at me, and mouths it's my mom. I smile back and sit next to him, snuggling up close. "Good morning Mrs. Mason" I say.
He smiles again, and says "She says good morning to you too, and she's looking forward to finally meeting you, hey mom hang on a second, alright. Scott, what time do you have to be at the theatre and do you want me to fix you something to eat?"
"Its what 10 now, I need to be there by 11:45 leave by 11:15, and no babe I'll get it, you talk to your mother. But I did you want to know if you're going with me to the theatre or staying here, and when do you want to leave to go back, today after call, or later tonight, or tomorrow, I'll be done by 4" I say, still cuddling close to him.
He stops to think about it for a second, then says, "it's a 11 hour drive, if we leave by 6 we could get there by 6 tomorrow morning, is that ok?" I nod. Kyle went back to the phone, "ok, how bout you mom is that ok? Alright, no I'll call you when we leave, and tell you when it looks like we'll be arriving... yes he will probably want to go to the hospital... alright I'll tell him, thanks mom, I love you...see ya later." He hangs up. "she said that we're to drive safe, that she'll have food for us when we get there, and she's going to stop by a florist and have them deliver an arrangement from my family."
"your mom seems really nice, what did you decided about going to the theatre, you can come by later if you want, its up to you."
"Well, I can go, or I can stay and pack, what do you think I should do?" he asked
I stood up and began pacing "Oh I forgot about packing, its only for a week so that's better, if you want to pack you can, my bags are in the closet, I'll need you to call both TC and Brooks, and let them know what's going on, they have keys so that's not a problem, I need them to do the mail and whatever. Tell them my mailbox key will be on the counter, see if they need anything taken back home to their parents and..."
"babe," He stands with me and holds me still, "I can handle it, I'll get their numbers from your book and call them today. Go get ready or your gonna be late, I'll fix you something to eat to take with you. Don't worry, I'm not going to let your life fall apart up here while you're gone." Kyle hugs me, and turns me towards the bedroom to go get ready.
After my shower, I feel much better, I walk into the bedroom and Kyle had made the bed, something I never do, on top is laying an outfit. I look at the clock its 10:35, so I dress and walk out into the living room. Kyle is on the phone again, this time in the kitchen. I hear him talking to someone, "TC, no, TC I cant give the phone to him right now...no he's not bound up and in a tarp, he's in the shower, he has to be at the theatre in an hour, he's just going home for a week TC, I'm not going to hurt him, I promise..." I grab the phone before another word can be said.
"HEY, stop acting this way, just promise you'll pick up my mail, whether its you or Brooks I don't care, and don't kill my plants, OK, and hey, what time you go into work, oh we're leaving around 6 to go back home, anything you need to go back to your family, ok I'll talk to you later then... what?!... wait what?... Brooks and Matt, Oh I have to hear about this. I'll call him tonight and see what's going on. TC I need to go, I'm going to be late. Bye, talk to you later." I hang up the phone. "Sorry, he's still wound up about you, give him a little time."
"I understand he's wound up, but he thought I killed you babe. Here, I made you lunch, and here's something to take to the theatre with you. Do you want me to pack anything specific, or do you trust me?"
"No I trust you, but I will need at least one really nice outfits, just in case, and the rest can be jeans and whatever... Oh and do the green shoes, the bowling shoes, the Birkenstocks, and a pair of dress shoes, your choice, ok. Thank you for doing this for me. I really appreciate it." I give him a kiss.
"Hey what else can I do, I love you." We kiss again, his hand goes to his ass, as he pulls me in closer. When we break from the kiss Kyle looks at the clock, "shit, you need to get going its 11:15. Call me if you get a break ok. We'll talk about the Brooks and Matt thing in the car tonight, bye babe, I love you, I really do."
"Thanks, I love you too, see ya tonight." I say as I walk out the door. As I head down the steps I grab my phone out of my pocket. I begin to call TC back, knowing I need to get the whole story soon. He picks up on the second ring, "Alright," I say "so after we left Brooks and Matt left together, going to Brook's place. Do we know anything else at this point? Ok, well I have a break at 1:30 you wanna have lunch then. Ok, be outside the stage door around then. Oh hey, and bring whatever you want me to take back with me. Alright, see ya." I hang up the phone just as I arrive at the subway stop.
The theatre was already busy with the others when I got there, checking in at the call board and making my way to the office, I took care of preparing for my trip back home. When finished with that I made my way to the dressing room, lay my bag on the counter and begin to get ready. Now let's just say time didn't necessarily fly by today, I was anxious to get going. When the break arrived, I was out of there. TC was waiting at the door, along with Brooks, who was still slightly hung-over. The first words out of my mouth were "aww does the poor baby even remember anything from last night?"
He smiled, and replied, "Oh no, I remember, everything, and no one's going to beat me over who's night was better."
TC's head whips around looking at Brooks, saying "Um, Scotty just slept with Kyle Mason. Do you hear me Kyle Mason. How the hell can you night be better when one that's 10 years in the making. Please explain. Oh wait you can't, cause it doesn't."
"And your one to talk, thinking he was in the process of kidnapping me, he's not stupid. I'm sure if he was going to kidnap me he wouldn't call you to let you know I was leaving town for a week so you need to water plants and pick up mail. No, he wouldn't care if the plants died or the mailbox overflowed everywhere. Use your brain?" I said to TC. 1
We arrive at the restaurant, it's just a deli, packed with tourist, but it's where I usually do lunch when I'm down here. So we order and sit down. TC is the first to speak again, "No, I just am still afraid of what he might do, I don't want to let my guard down. But for you, I will at least be nicer to him, instead of thinking about him killing you all the time."
After about 10 minutes of talking about last night, I finally bring up the reminder of me going home, Brooks is the first to say something. "Oh, shit. I forgot to tell you, I talked to Kay on the phone today after Matt left. She wanted to know if you were coming down, and I told here yes, and she got really quite, then she said, that's not going to go over real well. Scott, do you know who your dad's doctor is?
"Well, no. I hadn't talked to anyone yet. So I'm not even sure of my dad's condition. Why." I asked
"Oh, nothing. Kay said get down there quick. She'll have some stuff waiting fro you when you arrive, I didn't tell her about Kyle. She and Sue are expecting you sometime tomorrow afternoon."
"Wait both Kay and Sue, what are you telling me that I need to know. Really, I'm not good with surprises, you know that. Tell me."
"Call them, I'm not going to ruin it." Brooks said.
Looking at my watch, I say "Listen I need to go, I have to finish up at the theatre, I'll call them on the way back. Thanks guys I really love you both for all your help. I'll give both the girls your love when I see them. OK."
TC stands up, "be safe driving back, and don't rush, and hey, I really am happy for you, you deserve this. I just hope everything is ok with your dad, he may have been an ass back then, but who knows maybe the time apart has helped some." Giving me a hug, "you know Kyle is really lucky to have someone like you."
"Take care, and call us with updates, we'll be expecting them." Brooks said as he hugged me. I turned and walked out the door, seeing two of my best friends stand beside each other, knowing everything was going to be ok.
When I got back to the theatre, everything was still a buzz. Not even two hours later, I was able to walk out of there and head home. I had said my good-byes and all that to everyone, even packing up my station and taking it with me. When I arrived back home, Kyle was busy in the bedroom, he had started washing some of my clothes. "I'm home" I said as soon as I walked through the door to the bedroom, he was folding clothes on the bed, shirtless. I walked up behind him, wrapping my arms around his waist, gently kissing his neck. "Is it 4 already?" he asked.
"No, its 4:30, you look like you've stayed busy. Are you almost done?" I asked him
"Well, I decided that I should take out the trash and do some laundry, because I didn't really like anything in your closet to take with us. So I picked out a few things and washed them, As soon as I finish folding these clothes and putting them in your bag you'll be done. I need to take a shower, you want to join me and help out?"
"That's a nice idea. Let me help you, ok." Letting my hands fall from his waist and stepping beside him. I picked up a shirt and started folding. "so I talked to Kay on the way here, Brooks said it might be a good idea to call her, as it ends up, she is my dad's doctor. She says he's doing well right now, but he's just barely holding on. When she had an extra minute this morning after talking to Brooks she went in there and told him I would be there tomorrow, she's trying to keep my step-mom away but it doesn't look to pretty right now. We both think my arrival will be like a lead balloon. Sue and Kay both are expecting us for dinner sometime while we're in."
"Well, I'll be beside you the whole time, and my mom will too, my family is your family now, remember that ok. Besides, you're step-mom has no say over if you can see him or not, he's your father, and blood is more proof then her slip of paper. And hey, who knows, your dad may have said you are to be there, you know anything is possible after this week." As he picked up the last piece of clothing, "now, who the hell are Kay and Sue?"
As I laid on the bed in front of him, I explained. "Kay went to school with us, she was a year behind us, Kay Morgan. Sue I met in college, she and I were in theatre classes together, I introduced her to TC, Kay, and Brooks one day, and we all hit it off. Sue runs a theatre company back home. TC and I like to call them our Fruit Flies." As I sat up, I finished "so, how about that shower?"
"I don't know, do you think I need a shower that badly right now?" Kyle said, stepping in closer to me on the bed. I began to sit up and pulled him closer. "Yeah, I think you do, there's no reason to have to smell all dirty when we get back home, and besides, I think one of us is a little horny right now." I said, just before I kissed him. I stood up, my lips still locked with his, he slowly began to take off my shirt, and I his. Still kissing him, I began to unbutton his pants. Just then, there was a knock on the door. "You know, I knew this would happen." he said. "Just leave it; I don't think it's that important." I replied, moving in to kiss him again, running my hands over his chest and abs. As we continued to kiss there was another knock on the door, followed shortly after a cell phone began to ring.
We broke from our kiss, Kyle seeing who was calling and I went to answer the door. TC and Brooks were there, after letting them in I went to find Kyle, he was still in the bedroom, on the phone with his mother, "yes mom... we should be leaving the city in about the next hour or so, it depends on traffic... yes we're done packing... I promise I wont drive the whole way, mom please stop worrying, we're gonna be fine, I can take care of myself, I'm not in high school anymore...yes, fine, I'll let you talk to him...my mom wants to talk to you" as he handed me the phone.
"yes Mrs. Mason" I said into the phone.
"Scott, honey, please your dating my son, you can call me mom or Susan you choice, I just wanted to make sure that Kyle wouldn't drive the whole way back, and if you all run into any problems on the way, just call us down here and let me know, it will be ok, anytime." Kyle's mother was beginning to ramble, "Do you both have enough money to get back, I can send you some if it's needed, I just don't want you both stuck on the interstate in the middle of the night."
"Susan, we'll be fine, he and I have money to get back, and you shouldn't worry about anything, I'll make sure he doesn't drive the whole way' I replied. Kyle on the other hand, just threw up his arms and walked out of the room, saying something about her never trusting him on long drives, it went on further but I didn't catch it all.
His mother continued, " now, I've called and had the florist deliver some flowers, I did two arrangements, one from all of us, the other from you and Kyle, I was thinking it would be better that way. Scott, ..." she paused, why did she have to pause right there? "I'm glad you're dating my son, I was worried about him for so long, and I know that you will be there and care for him, I've wanted to see him happy for a long time and I'm sure that you will be able to make that happen." The care behind her words was so genuine, I was shocked, I never expected this from her, really, never from anyone. I knew at this point that I finally had a supportive family behind me. "Scott, I may not have been told my son was gay all that long ago, but I knew, and I was hoping he would just be happy, he's told me so much about you already, and I can't wait to finally meet you. I'm sure you and him will be very happy and together for a long time, and no matter how long ago your little incident happened between the two of you, I know that you both can put the past behind you. There is a rough journey ahead for you both... well, really, there is no need for me to tell you this now. I can just talk to you about it more while you're here with us, cause after all you are staying here, I'm not letting you spend your time in a hotel room, not especially with what you're going through. You need to be around family and friends, and after all you are part of my family now, I'll let you go now, Ok and see you both when you get here in the morning." She finally said, I was totally shell shocked.
Kyle's mother had called me her son's boyfriend; I never thought that who ever I dated, that their parents would refer to me as that. I closed the phone and started walking towards the living room, our living room now, I guess. Kyle looked at me when I entered, the smile on his faced vanished, "what's wrong?" he asked.
"Nothings wrong" I said, "I'm just a little shocked is all" sitting beside him.
"yeah, my mother can be a little shocking the first time you ever talk to her, she has that effect on everyone."
"No, well yes I guess but still" I kissed him, "that was from your mother' then kissed him again, "that s from me".
"My mother sent her love to me through you, what else did she say?" Kyle asked.
"It's not so much what she asked, as to what she said Kyle, she said... she was happy, happy I was your boyfriend, then she said that I wasn't allowed to stay in a hotel. She said I was family now, because, well because I was dating you, she also said that we were going to be together for a long time."
Silence, again, I hate silence. Brooks was the first to speak, "wow that's deep, and she hasn't even met you yet, watch out boys, she may have started planning a wedding."
Kyle laughed, holding me close, then saying, "I hope you like peach and beige, cause she does, well that and roses and gold. Just a warning, almost the whole house is decorated with it, its almost sickening."
TC, Brooks, Kyle, and myself talked for a little while longer, it seemed no one wanted to send anything back to their families, I guess that comes from all of our families knowing each other growing up, and having the same stand point on homosexuals.
With our bags packed and a long drive ahead of the two of us, good byes were said to TC and Brooks. It seemed strange to me, these two were the people that had been with me through everything since I came out, from dealing with my parents to getting my struggling acting career started, and now I was leaving New York. Leaving it for a life that I had spent so many years trying to forget, yet wouldn't stop coming back to haunt me. Before Kyle and I left our apartment to start this long journey, standing at the door I stopped, "hang on" I said, I walked over to my desk, and picked up a small black case, not knowing if I needed it or not, but knowing I couldn't leave in behind.
Walking back to the doorway, I turned before I left, talking one final look at the apartment, it had been mine for over 3 years now, I was unsure of ho long I would be away from it, and began a journey into the unknown with my new partner.
Whatever lay ahead of me, I knew that I would be able to face it with a different look, after all, I had the man of my dreams on my side.
No the journey is not yet over, I have many details that I have yet to close with this story, I closed it here cause, well I spent 2 months away from it and it was the best way I thought this chapter needed to be closed. Scott and Kyle have more adventures together then you may know, including a huge surprise to the entire group when this father thing is finished with.
Thank you to all that read this, and feedback is a great thing for me, please send more I love it. Dhyde84@hotmail.com
