"Alright, is that everything off the truck?"
"I think so Dad, thanks for helping me get al my stuff inside. Now all I need to do is just start unpacking it."
My Dad and I had just finished moving everything into my new apartment, looking around, it was a seemingly endless sea of boxes in each room. It was going to take some serious time to get everything unboxed, set up, organized, and cleaned... I was tired just thinking about it.
"Well you know that your Mom and I would love to help you finish setting everything up, but we have to leave for my work conference in the morning and I haven't even packed for that trip! It's not like I haven't done enough packing today."
"Yeah, I get it Dad. Speaking of Mom, how much longer do you think she and Sarah are going to be at the store?"
My mom and my girlfriend Sarah had left to go to the store to buy some last few things that were still needed to finish moving in, but that was nearly two hours ago.
"You know how your mother is son! She's been like this ever since we got married. She needs to hurry back though because we need to leave soon to make it back home in time to pack, and I know she is going to want to say goodbye before we leave."
"Yeah, your right" I said knowingly. "But they should have only needed to buy cleaning supplies, that should only take twenty minutes tops!"
"As I said, that's just how she is, wanna soda while we wait?"
My Dad had reached into the fridge and pulled out a Coke that we placed in their earlier and was offering it to me.
"Sure, I could use a cold drink."
A few minutes later, Sarah and my Mom finally returned from the store with a few more bags than expected.
"What are you doing with all those bags!?" I said exasperated, knowing that I had given them my card to help pay for the supplies.
"Relax Steven!" said Sarah, "I just went ahead and got some food for the next week."
"Fine, took you long enough though!" I said, half-jokingly, half-serious. "Dad and I had to finish unloading all by ourselves!"
"Seriously son, just relax. We all know that you could use the exercise." said my Mom, with a laugh.
"Hey!", I did not appreciate the jab. I have struggled with my self-image for several years, I'm not fit, but I'm not in shape either. I would just like to pick a side of either toned or just fat, not this weird in the middle state that I'm in. It was difficult for me all through High-school do deal with this, and I have been trying for the last several years to work out and build some muscle, and then I met Sarah.
I met here at my last job in the grocery store. I worked as a stock-boy and she was in the deli department. She is gorgeous, at 5'6" with long brown hair and some great curves (Beauty isn't everything but it sure helps!). After chatting in the breakroom for a few weeks, I was trying to work up the nerve to ask her out on a date, but she beat me to it and asked me out! I eventually shared with here my desires to get bigger and she told me about how she likes bigger men, and was secretly hoping that I would bulk out. She has been encouraging me to gain some weight, but that has been hard with my parents being fairly health-conscious and controlling of my weight, even at 23. Ever since we met we have become super close and when I got a new job at a tech company about three hours away, I asked her if she would move with me, and surprisingly she said yes! We have been counting the days I to moving and really expand my size, and now the day is finally here. Now I could be proud of who I am and what I looked like.
"Anyway, we need to get going here" said my Dad, obviously trying to get my Mom out the door and in the car. "We need to go home and pack. We should leave these two alone and stop pestering them." He said suggestingly
"Fine, I guess we should go." My Mom said, starting to choke up. "You know that I am so proud of you Steven and the man you have become. You better come and visit when you get vacation time."
"You know I will Mom," I said, trying not to cry along with my Mom. "I will be out soon."
My Dad finally pried my Mom off of my and got her to the car. We waved goodbye as they drove off and went back inside.
"Well now what do we do?" said Sarah  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
