This piece is the third in a series of stories that are autobiographical. I've not listed names or places to protect the identity of the people involved. All of the events you will read are true. I kept a journal at the time, so the accuracy of what is contained in these stories is very good. Some of the dialog is seared in my memory and some of it is recreated based on the events, but is very much in keeping with the way we'd talk. There is probably less conversation in these stories than I should have -- we communicated a lot and would talk during sex -- sometimes to turn each other on, sometimes about dreams, desires and wants. I hope you enjoy the memories as much as I have enjoyed writing about them. - Author

After camp I moved back to my parent's house for a short bit. My folks are great, but growing up they were the original WASP's and could be pretty uptight about things. After having been on my own for the past four years through college, I appreciated having a place to stay until the job I had lined up for mid-September started, but I chafed at some of the restrictions, including a fairly early curfew and some house rules about guests.
I'd told my folks about the fact that I'd met someone earlier in the summer at the training camp. When they asked what her name was, I told them and my dad's reply was, "You've got to be shitting me." (G's name was really a guy's name -- or at least it sounded like it.) I had to disabuse him of the notion that I was talking about a man, and that it actually was a woman I was involved with. If you know where I lived at the time, you'd understand the significance.
I had a job doing casual work that kept money coming in, which was particularly important considering what the pay was like at camp - even for an area director's position. In the evenings, I was spending my time poring over information about apartments in the area I was heading to, along with new car brochures as my current car kept having issues.
It was just after dinner time on a Thursday, and I was trying to decide on which apartments that I could afford to look at. My dad was reading the newspaper, and my mom was watching something on the television when the phone rang. My dad is - well - conservative with money. The phone was an old hard-wired AT&T wall phone with the retractile cord that was in place since the house was built in the early 1960's and they hadn't replaced it with a new version with a cordless handset -- it was still rotary dial, even!
My mom went to pick up the phone and I could hear her having a sort of awkward conversation with someone at the other end. You could tell that she was a bit uncomfortable. Finally she called me to the phone.
"Hello?"
"Oops. Hiya, sweet cheeks!" It was G on the phone. Somehow I wasn't surprised.
"What did you do?"
"Well, I asked for my sweet-assed man to come to the phone, but I guess your mom isn't like mine."
"Yeah, you could say that again." I hadn't warned her ahead of time and in hindsight I wished I had. My folks weren't talking about whatever G had said to my mom on the phone, so I figured I must be safe.
We caught up on what the other had been doing since our last call in the Medic's office at camp. Neither of us had written as we were both focused on other things -- me, on my impending move, and G on her return to college to finish her Master's degree. It was mostly mundane life stuff, but it was just nice to talk with her and hear her voice on the phone.
Then she started in on all the things that she wanted to do to me the next time we were together. I'm amazed that the phone cord wasn't melting. She then asked what I was planning to do to her.
"You already sound like you have a good list."
"That's it?" I could hear her disappointment over the phone.
"Mmmm-hmmm."
"Your folks are in the room, right?"
"They might as well be."
"Well, I guess I should get to the point", G said.
"What's that, beautiful?"
"This is your booty call. Literally. I'm calling for your booty. You're driving out here tomorrow and your sweet ass is mine for the weekend."
"I am? Uhhh, oh I _AM_!" I can be slow on the uptake. "Where are we staying, and when are we meeting?"
"We're staying here at the the 'rent's place and you're getting here as soon as you can, because you want my sweet pussy. We're gonna work on my list and you'd better think up your own. Come ready for anything, 'cos you know I don't disappoint."
I was slightly confused about how this was going to work at her parent's place, but I took down the address and some cursory directions from the highway. For the rest, Rand McNally was going to have to come to the rescue.
"I love you, G, and I'm looking forward to seeing you tomorrow."
"You know it. Love you, *MWAH!*"
With that, the line clicked off.
As I hung up the phone, my mom came back into the kitchen. She sidled over to me and whispered, "She sounds like a hot ticket!"
"You got that right, mom."
She asked about my plans and I divulged the basics -- I'd be leaving in the morning heading to stay at my girlfriend's parent's house and I'd be back either Sunday night or sometime Monday depending on how things worked out. I went up to my room to put some things together for the weekend as my mom broke the news to my dad, smoothing things over a bit in the process.
As I grew older, I later found out that my mom had been a "hot ticket" herself in her youth. Friends of my mom's eventually let things spill about her. She'd been a beauty queen in a few local pageants and was a popular girl. She had become a nurse (as had her friends), and they'd all headed out to a big city where they worked together. It sounded like they liked to party. Life is full of surprises.
