Chapter 3: San Francisco Here We Come
I was sleeping soundly, dreaming of what it would be like to be Suzie
fulltime, wearing nice clothes, being able to get rid of all of my
boring guy clothes, being able to get my hair colored and permed without
anyone saying anything, to have real breasts and to have guys check me
out as just a cute girl. Gees did I say guys? Suddenly my sweet dreams
were interrupted by Jennifer shaking me saying it was time to get up. I
sat up and she sat down on the bed and gave me the longest and most
passionate kiss I have ever had.
"I thought that kissing me made you feel a little weird."
"It does but, I just wanted to see if I could do it."
I went over to my drawer, took out my white Miracle Satin Classic bra
and matching satin bikini panties, and put them on. I put in my push-up
pads and went over to the mirror to look. There stood a 16-year-old
girl, with a hint of cleavage showing, looking back at me. I was amazed
I could not believe it.
As I got out of bed, Jennifer said. "If you are going to wear your
jeans, you have to be able to hide your useless appendage." We both
laughed, though I turned red with embarrassment. I remembered that mom
had a panty girdle that I had tried on a couple of times. I went and
asked her if I could borrow it and she said yes, and I could have it if
I wanted it. I went back to my room; put the girdle and my jeans on.
Laurie said, "Something doesn't look quite right. I know..." She ran
into the bathroom and came back with two hand towels. She told me to
take off my jeans, and then she placed the towels inside my girdle,
along my hips. I put my jeans back on and she took me over to the
mirror, For the first time I saw myself standing there with a smooth
flat front and wide hips. "Oh" I thought, "I wish this was for real!"
"Quit ogling yourself and get ready," said Jennifer. I put on Laurie's
scoop neck top. I went over to the vanity and started to apply my make-
up, under Jennifer and Laurie's supervision of course. They said not to
put too much on because I would be getting my own make-up today and I
would want to try on several before I bought. Therefore, they decided
that I should only use a little eye shadow and lipstick. After I had
finished, Jennifer started taking the rollers out of my hair. Letting
the cascading curls fall, as they will. She took a wide toothcomb and
ran it through my hair. The result was that my hair looked like it was
naturally wavy and very sexy.
Jennifer was already dressed. She was wearing jeans too, and a soft pink
scoop neck blouse similar to mine. She had put her make-up on while I
was doing mine. It was her turn for me to comb out her hair.
"Now I want you to unroll my hair and comb it out like I did."
She sat down and I started unrolling her hair. I combed it as she had
done mine. When I was finished, we had almost identical hairstyles. Mom
came into the room to see how we were doing. She could not believe how
much I looked like a girl. She had Jennifer and I stand next to each
other. She got this concerned look on her face.
"Hmm, you two do look like you are sisters. Here Suzie, here are a pair
of gold hoops that will look good on you. "
We went to the kitchen and ate some pancakes Mom had made for us. At
7:45, we were in Mom's car and driving to San Francisco. On the way
over, we started talking about where we wanted to go and what we wanted
to do. We decided to go to the San Francisco Shopping Center first and
then catch a cable car to Fisherman's Wharf or Little Italy for lunch,
then finish up at Union Square. On the way over, they continually told
me how to act, gesture, sit etc. We talked about the newest fashions and
trends.
We found a parking garage near the shopping center. It was a short walk
to the San Francisco Shopping Center. It is a collection of upscale
shops, boutiques and a five story Nordstroms (the worlds largest). With
the $200 from mom and the $150 that I had, I knew that I probably would
not be buying much here. However, it would be fun looking at, and trying
on the trendy clothes, and many of the stores had back to school sales
going on. We spent the morning going through Ann Taylor, Wet Seal,
Victoria's Secret, Arden B, Bc Bg, Fitelle, Bebe, Chico's, Bath & Body
Works, Nordstrom, J. Crew, and Kenneth Cole. I found a couple of cute
tops, skirts, shorts and pants on sale. I bought a couple of demi bras
and no show bikini panty sets, a strapless bra, and a couple of
camisoles from Victoria's Secret. I found a wonderful Boatneck Dress at
Nordstrom's that looked good on me. However, I could not afford the $80
price tag on it. Laurie said, "Every girl needs one nice dress, I will
buy it for you". I was so happy I hugged and thanked her and started to
cry. We went to Nordstrom's cosmetics counter and Mom, Laurie and
Jennifer tried different cosmetics on me. We all agreed that the Lancome
cosmetics looked the best on me and they were on sale with 25% off. I
was ready to buy their Maquivelours Hydrating Pale Claire II Foundation
($25.12), Illusion Poudr?e powder ($22.50), Go Go Girl Color Palette
($24.38), Maquiglac Lumineuse Automatic Black Eyeliner ($15.75), Le
Crayon Poudre Powder Sable Brown Pencil for the Brows ($15.38),
Intencils Black Full Intensity Mascara ($15.75), Sheer Magnetic Extra
Shine Weightless Frambosie Lip Color ($14.63) and the Sexy Rose Lip
Dimension Lasting Liquid Lip-Shaping Color ($15). I was in shock when I
added everything up. Even with the 25% discount, it came to almost $150.
Then reality hit, a.k.a. Mom, she said "Wait until we get home, and I'll
take you to Wal*Mart or someplace else. You can buy Cover Girl, Revlon
or Maybelline cosmetics. They will cost you half as much as here and
they will work very well for you." I was very disappointed; I really
wanted to buy my make-up now. However, the more I thought about it, the
more I had to admit that Mom was probably right. So we left Nordstrom's
and after buying my lingerie, tops, pants and skirts, I still had $175
left.
It was after 1:00 now and we were all famished. We went back to the car
and dropped off everything we had bought. We then jumped on to a cable
car and went to Fisherman's Wharf for lunch. We went to Nona Roses,
Mom's favorite Italian restaurant. I could not believe how good it felt
to sit down. I had linguine and clams, Mom had Chicken Marsalis, Laurie
just had a Caesar Salad and Jennifer had Scampi. During lunch, we talked
about our morning shopping. We talked about where we were going next.
After lunch, we were all stuffed and had to get out and walk a bit, so
we went shopping along the wharf and Ghirardelli Square. I found a
couple pairs of cute earrings that Jennifer said that she wanted to buy
for me.
We got back on the cable car and went to Union Square. It was almost
3:00 before we got there. Because of the time and the limited amount of
money I had left, we decided to concentrate on the department stores
there, Macy's, Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue. All had sales on and
I bought two more tops, a skirt, pair of jeans, three pairs of panty
hose, a pair of 2" heels, to go with my new dress, 2 pairs of black
flats and a pair of mules.
It was 6:00 and I was now officially broke. No one was very hungry yet,
so we decided to start home and get something to eat on the way. I
learned today that if you really shop the sales, you could get a lot
more clothes. On the way home, I figured I saved $230 today. Laurie,
Jennifer and I were all exhausted and fell asleep in the car on the way
home. Since we were sleeping, Mom did not even stop for dinner. The next
thing I knew Mom was saying, "We are home". We got out of the car,
Jennifer and Laurie helped me carry my new things to my room. We started
going over my new clothes and they could see that I was very happy.
Laurie asked me to try on the dress she had bought me. I took my top and
jeans off, put on a pair of the panty hose on and then the dress, with
my new shoes. The dress fit me perfectly. The way it came in at my waist
and flared at the hips, made me look like I had a figure. I loved it and
hoped that I would be able to wear it out somewhere soon.
Jennifer said that I looked wonderful, but she had to be getting home.
She hugged me, kissed me goodbye and left. Laurie unzipped me and I took
my wonderful dress off. I went into the bathroom and started to get
undressed to take a shower. I took my panty hose, girdle, bra and
panties off. I turned around and looked at myself in the mirror. I
immediately went from being euphoric and happy to depressed and sad. I
stood there seeing Suzie's face, but Robert's body. I had not thought of
Robert all day, I was 16-year old Suzie. Now reality has set in, I was
really Robert pretending to be Suzie. I felt myself fill with emotion; I
sat down and started to cry. I hated the idea of being Robert. Even
though it had only been a week and a half since Mom and Laurie found out
about Suzie, Suzie had completely taken over my life. The thought of
having to go back to school as Robert, started me to cry again. Instead
of taking a shower, I drew a bubble bath to soak in. I lit a couple of
candles and lay back in the tub. I started thinking again and started
crying again, I was thoroughly depressed.
I was laying there and Laurie knocked on the door and stuck her head in
the bathroom.
"Suzie, is everything all right, I thought I heard you crying."
I asked her to come in and I proceeded to tell her what I was thinking
and how depressed I had become. That if I had to live as Robert I did
not know what I would do. She had me sit forward and she washed my
shoulders and back and started talking to me.
"I just want you to know whether you are Suzie or Robert I love you very
much and nothing will change that. I love having a sister and if that is
what you chose, I will do everything I can to help you. Do not worry so
much, you have your appointment with Dr. Anderson on Monday, see what
she says. The worse case scenario is that you will have to live part-
time as Suzie and part-time as Robert until you are 18. This will give
you some time to learn to be a girl."
"But, I hate being Robert, wearing his clothes and acting like a guy."
"I know sis, but in the grand scheme of things it will be for a very
short period of time."
I looked at Laurie, this was the first time she called me sis. I do not
know why, but having her call me sis made me feel much better. Suddenly
I felt like I had hope that things will be better.
I hugged Laurie, "Thank you Laurie, I love you very much, I am so lucky
to have you as a sister."
"You had better get out of that bath before you prune up."
Laurie left and I got out of the tub and started drying off. I looked in
the mirror and this time I saw Suzie with nice shapely breasts, a slim
waist and full hips. I smiled and knew that everything would be all
right. I put on the nightie that Jennifer had given me. Mom came in with
a bag. "I picked this up for you today at Nordstrom's." I opened it up
and saw Lanc?me's Gel Contr?le cleanser and Hydra Zen Night, night
cr?me. Mom brushed my hair, pulled it back, and held it in place with a
scrunchie. She opened the tube of the cleanser and showed me how
properly cleanse my face. I thought I had thoroughly washed my face. I
was shocked at the amount of dirt and make-up that the cleanser removed
from my face.
She said, "Cleaning your face everyday will help reduce the amount of
acne you will get."
I was impressed to say the least. She then opened the jar of the night
cr?me and showed me how to apply it saying that it is never too early to
start taking care of my skin. I was feeling so good. I knew it before,
but somehow, this told me that Mom had completely accepted me as her
daughter. I gave her a big hug and told her "I love you Mom, thank you
for everything". She just looked at me, smiled, gave me a kiss on my
cheek and left.
I stood there looking at myself in the mirror and started to cry again.
This time it was because I was so happy. I knew that while I would
probably have to tolerate Robert for a while, that I am Suzie. I went
out to the living room where Mom and Laurie were sitting, gave them both
a big hug, said "Thank you I love both of you very much. Good night." I
went to my room and lay down. I soon fell asleep and dreamed about my
new life.
I must have been very tired because I did not wake up until 10:00. Mom
was sitting at the kitchen table reading the paper and Laurie had taken
off with John.
"Good morning Mom."
"Hi dear, did you sleep alright?"
"Yes thanks?"
"I was just looking in the paper and I see that Rite-Aid has a sale on
cosmetics. Do you want to go?"
"Oh yes of course, but I do not have any money left."
"Don't worry it is my treat. I bought Laurie her first cosmetics.
However, from now on you are responsible for your own. That is why I
suggested that you start out with lower price cosmetics. See what you
like and what looks good on you. As you gain more confidence and
experience, then you can try the more expensive make-up."
I hugged her and ran into my room. I took my nightie off, put on a pair
of white panties, my girdle and pads and matching demi bra. Next, I
slipped on my new peach colored, scooped neck top with ? sleeves, white
shorts and my new mules. I went into the bathroom, took the scrunchie
out of my hair and brushed it into place. I had lost much of my curl, so
I borrowed Mom's curling iron and touched up my hair. There was the
Suzie that I had grown to love. Mom came in and helped me with my make-
up, just a little eyeliner, eye shadow and lipstick. I went into my room
and put in the earrings that Jennifer had bought me.
We took off in Mom's car. She suggested that we go to another part of
town so no one would recognize me. I agreed with her, though I was at
the point I did not really care. We went over to the cosmetics section,
looked at the various brands, and tried a few. We settled on Cover
Girl's Smoothers All Day Hydrating Make-Up, their black Triple Mascara
and 2 Piece Outlast All Day Lipcolor, L'Oreal's Line Intensifique Liquid
Eyeliner, Maybelline's Ultra Brow and Revlon's Illuminance Cr?me Shadow.
We went over to the hair care section; she bought me my own curling
iron, blow dryer, a comb, a hairbrush, magnetic rollers, a hair net,
shampoo, conditioner, mousse, and hair spray.
We get in the car and Mom asks if I was up to a little shopping.
"Of course!" I said.
We drove to the local mall and spent the afternoon shopping, going from
store to store. It was nice being alone with Mom. I had spent time, like
this, with Mom before but this was different. We seemed much closer than
we had ever been before. I did not care what I had between my legs I was
her daughter.
We hit all of the specialty shops, trying on various clothes and
jewelry. We did not find any clothes that I liked and Mom approved of or
would pay for. We did find several pairs of earring, bracelets and rings
that she bought for me. Our last stop was Penney's. Penney's was having
a blowout sale and I ended up getting 2 skirts, 4 tops, a dress, 2 pairs
of pants, 2 more bra and panty sets and 2 more pairs of shoes. I told
Mom that she should not have bought all of this for me.
She said, "That's ok I have a feeling that you will be wearing this more
than your other clothes very soon."
I hugged her and said, "Thank you very much".
We headed home, this had a wonderful day and I was in 7th heaven. When
we got home, I had a sinking feeling in my stomach. Laurie was on the
front lawn, with John, talking with two of our neighbors Joan and Nancy.
Joan was a divorced mother of two girls and Nancy was a young newly wed.
I looked at Mom, "What do we do now?"
"All we can do is to get out of the car and introduce them to Suzie". I
panicked, I knew that this day would come, but I was not sure I was
ready for this yet. Mom pulled into the driveway and I sunk down in the
seat trying to be invisible. Mom encouraged me to get out, but I would
not budge.
I then heard Laurie, "Come here Suzie, I have told them about you and
everyone wants to meet you."
I looked up and everyone was looking at me. I had no choice so I sat up
and got out of the car. John had this look of disbelief on his face. He
started to say something improper and Laurie jabbed him in the ribs with
her elbow. It seems that John had seen us driving out of town yesterday
and wanted to know who that new girl was. Joan and Nancy had seen me
leave the house this morning and were asking the same thing. Laurie told
them about Suzie. Nancy and Joan were ok with Suzie, but I had a feeling
that John was going to be more difficult. Laurie had made John promise
that he would not say anything to anyone.
They had many questions for me. Why did I want to be a girl? Do I like
boys or girls? Am I gay? And so on.
Joan said, "I do not have a problem with you, but please stay away from
my kids."
Nancy was supportive, "You look so cute. If there is anything, I can do
to help you, please let me know. I do not think Dave (her husband) will
like this. So we will keep it just between us."
John said, "Man, I just don't understand you, you are dating that hot
Jennifer Wagner. I would have never guessed. Just do not ever think
about hitting on me or I will deck you!"
Suzie was officially out, to the neighborhood at least. I felt a
combination of relief and terror that everyone would find out now. There
are some guys, in school, that would probably beat me up if they knew.
We talked a little longer, Joan and Nancy went home and we got my
packages and went inside.
Mom and Laurie went in first and John stopped me. "Just so we are
straight, I think you are a sick little faggot. But, I will be nice to
you for Laurie's sake, I do not ever want to be seen with you in public,
is that understood?"
All I could say was "Yes".
We went into the house and Laurie asked what we were talking about? We
both said "Nothing really".
John left a little while later and I went to my room put everything
away. Laurie came in and helped me. Neither of us said a word. The
silence was deafening.
Finally, she said, "Are you alright? You have been very quiet since
getting home."
"I am fine," I lied, "I am just a little tired and I am bummed about
having to go back to being Robert tomorrow."
"There is something wrong, what is it? Did John say something?"
"Please do not worry about it, I will be alright".
Laurie left it at that and we went into the kitchen to help Mom prepare
for dinner. After dinner, I went to my room to do some homework. Before
I knew, it was time for bed. I jumped into the shower, reluctantly
washed the curls out of my hair and the make-up off my face. I got out
of the shower and combed my hair back into a low ponytail. I put on a
pair of pajamas, cleansed, and moisturized my face. I went out to the
living room and kissed Mom and Laurie good night.
I didn't sleep very well that night. I was having a mental tug of war
between Suzie and Robert. I am Suzie but the reality is that tomorrow I
have to be Robert at school. I was getting to hate Robert, but he was
part of me and I had to live with him for the time being. Sometime in
the early morning, I did fall asleep and before I knew it, it was 6:30
and time to get up for school.
Chapter 4
What's Up Doc?
I dragged myself out of bed thinking of how I had to become Robert
again. I became depressed, sat on the side of my bed and started crying.
Mom knocked on my door and came in.
"What's wrong honey?"
"I don't want to go to school. I do not want to have to become Robert
again. I love being Suzie."
Mom hugged me "Let us wait and see what Dr. Anderson has to say.
Remember, I will still love you whether you are Robert or Suzie. Now get
ready for school. Laurie will give you a ride to school and I will pick
you up at 1:00 and take you to Dr. Anderson's."
I said "Thanks Mom" as I hugged her back.
I went to put on a pair of my old cotton briefs and just could not do
it. I knew that I did not have to dress for P.E. today so I took my
briefs off and put on a pair of my bikini panties. Much better I
thought. I finished dressing wearing a pair of jeans and a button-up
shirt. I took my fingernail polish off, but left my toenail polish on
and tied my hair back in a low ponytail. I looked into the mirror and
saw Robert looking back at me. But, it was not the same Robert I was
used to seeing. There was a difference. The face looked the same, but
somehow a little bit more feminine. I guessed that it must have been my
eyebrows and stud earrings. But, the change was so subtle that I knew
most people would not notice. I walked into the kitchen and both Mom and
Laurie looked at me with sad faces. I said that everything was fine and
that I would make the best of everything.
I ate my breakfast and Laurie gave me a ride to school. When we got
there I saw Jennifer standing there waiting for me. As we were walking
to class, we talked about Saturday and how much fun we had. I told her
about going shopping with Mom, about the cosmetics and clothes I bought.
The morning dragged on. No one gave me a second look, which made me feel
a little relieved. Finally, 1:00 came around and I met Mom in the
parking lot. My appointment with Dr. Anderson was not until 2:00, so Mom
bought me some lunch. Finally, about 1:50 we pulled up to Dr. Anderson's
building. We went into the building and found her office. On the door,
she had:
Dr. Julie S. Anderson, M.S.W., PH.D
Clinical Sexologist - Certified Sex Therapist
We went in; her receptionist Diane, seeing that I was very nervous,
welcomed us and told me to relax. She said that they have many
transgender patients and that Dr. Anderson was very good. She gave Mom
some paperwork to fill out. Soon Dr, Anderson came out and welcomed us.
She said that wanted to talk with Mom, then with me and lastly with both
of us.
Mom went in and I sat waiting. Diane came over and we started to chat. I
found out that she has a brother that is transgendered also. She was
studying psychology and working for Dr. Anderson part-time. She wanted
to specialize in gender related issues. She was so easy to talk with
that I really started to relax. She asked me if I had a girl's name yet,
and I said yes Suzie. She said that she has always liked that name. Soon
Mom came out and Dr. Anderson asked me to come in. I felt my stomach
doing flip-flops as I walked into the room. Dr. Anderson was an
attractive warm woman, she asked me to sit down. We just started
chatting and I instantly started to relax. She asked me about my life,
what I was doing in school, when I started feeling as if I should have
been born a girl, did I have a girl, or boyfriend, was I attracted to
boys or girls.
I told her that I thinking I should have been born a girl as far back as
I could remember. That I started wearing Laurie and Mom's clothes when I
was 10 or 11, about school and Jennifer. I told her about Mom and Laurie
caught me dressing and how supportive they were. She asked me if I liked
other boys. I said, "I don't know, sometimes I think what it would be
like to have a guy hold me and kiss me." We talked for almost an hour
when she got up and asked Mom to join us.
"Amanda please come in."
Mom came in and sat down. You could see that she was very anxious to
hear what Dr. Anderson had to say.
"Amanda, when we talked earlier you said that Robert sometimes acted
more like a girl when he was very young. You said that you thought he
was just going through a faze and he would get over it, and this is what
happens the majority of the time. Somewhere Robert started to hide his
feminine feelings and act like a ?normal' boy. However, he started
trying on your and your daughter's clothes when he was 10 or 11. The
older he got the more he wanted to dress. The more he dressed the more
normal it felt to him. In cases like this, someone usually catches the
child, because secretly they want someone to catch them. You said that
you suspected for sometime that he was wearing your clothes. I feel that
he was probably subconsciously, hoping someone would catch him.
Actually, you did him a huge favor by confronting him. I would like to
have you both come back next week so we can talk some more."
I said, "Dr. Anderson, would you want me to come as Robert or Suzie?"
"Come which ever you feel the most comfortable as, which I suspect it is
going to be Suzie."
I could not help but ask, "Do you think I can start living as a girl
soon?"
"Let us not get ahead of ourselves now. It seems like you are a, very
focused, young person at this point. I do not see anything to suggest
that you should not become a candidate for sex change. However, you are
only 16 and gender identity disorders in children and adolescents are
complex conditions. I simply need spend more time with you before I make
any recommendations. I do not see any problems with you spending time as
Suzie. Use that time to do some honest sole searching. Decide if this is
something, you really want to do. Some of the therapies we do are
reversible, but most are not. I would hate to see you start the course
of gender change and a few years later decide that you made a huge
mistake. With youths, I tend to go slow, probably much slower than you
would like. Then I have had very few patients that regret their
decisions. The best advice I can give you now is do not be too hasty. I
would like to make a standing appointment for you for the next 3 weeks.
Is this time the next 3 Mondays ok for you?"
"It would be better if we could make it after school, Robert gets out at
3:30," Mom said.
"We will make it for 4:00 then."
We both shook Dr. Anderson's hand and said goodbye. On the way home, we
talked about what Dr. Anderson had said. I told Mom that I really
enjoyed talking with her and that I am looking forward to our next
appointment. I was encouraged by the fact that she did not say no.
When we got home, I immediately changed my clothes and called Jennifer.
I told her about my appointment with Dr. Anderson and what she had said.
We talked for an hour before Mom called me for dinner. Laurie had gone
over to John's so it was just Mom and me.
"So honey, how are you feeling? I thought Dr. Anderson sounded
optimistic. Do you think you can live with Robert for a while longer?"
Yes," I said, "as long as Suzie is a big part of me life and I can see
the light at the end of the tunnel I can be happy." We finished eating
and I went to my room and started to study.
Chapter 4
The First Weeks of the Rest of My Life
The rest of the week was uneventful. I got up in the morning and went to
school. After school, I went bicycle practice and had a big race on
Saturday. After practice, I would go straight home, draw a nice bath,
and soak my aches away. I was careful to cleanse my face with my
cleanser and use my night cr?me. I wore nothing but my bikini panties
now and kept my toenails polished. Everyday I looked forward to coming
home and becoming Suzie again. It was amazing, no matter how stressed
out I had become, becoming Suzie relaxed me so much.
Saturday night Jennifer asked me if I, Suzie, wanted to go to a party
that her cousin Beth was having. Beth's house was on the other side of
town and she did not think there would be anyone there that would know
me. I asked her if there were going to be boys there. She giggled,
"Probably! However, I will show you how brush them off with out hurting
their feelings. Unless you do not want to that is."
I blushed and said that I was not into guys at all. She laughed and
said, "If one of those guys tries and take you from me I will deck
them!" I laughed knowing that she probably would too. Mom said that it
was o.k. with her, so we made plans to go to Beth's party.
I had a 30-mile race on Saturday. I came in 3rd place and was very happy
to do that, considering I was racing against one person that was All-
City and another that was All-State. I got home about 4:30 and found
Jennifer waiting for me.
"Come on girl we have lots of things to do before we leave."
We walked into the house just as Laurie and John were leaving. Laurie
told me to have fun tonight, John just leered at me, and they left. Mom
asked what we were going to do now. "Mrs. Marks I am going make Suzie
look gorgeous, but right now she smells a little rank." We all laughed.
Laurie and I went to my bedroom. I stripped down to my panties, took a
bra, matching panties, robe from my closet, and went to the bathroom to
shower. I washed and conditioned my hair. My face, chest and armpits
were still smooth from Jennifer's waxing last week. I was almost
finished when Jennifer came into the bathroom and handed me a plastic
bottle.
"Put this on your hair and let it sit for a couple of minutes then rinse
it out."
Looking at the bottle, I see that it is Chestnut Brown temporary hair
color.
"Your hair is a mousy brown and this color will look good on you."
I read the directions on the bottle and quickly did as she said. I
saturated my hair working it down to the roots. I let it set, shaved my
legs and then rinsed it out. I could not wait to see what my new hair
looked like. I stepped out of the shower and toweled off. I looked into
the mirror and had to agree that my hair did look better. I put on my
bra, panties and robe. Jennifer knocked on the door and came in.
"See I told you that it would look good on you. Now I want put some
temporary blonde highlights in for you. Sit down and put this towel
around your shoulders."
I did as she said. She combed my hair parting it on the right side and
pulled, what looked like a swimming cap with holes in it, out of her
bag. She placed the cap over my head and tied the chinstrap. She then
took out what looked like a crochet hook and started pulling small
sections of my hair out from under the cap. I was fascinated watching
her do this. After about 15 minutes, she had small sections of hair
pulled out of every hole in the cap. She then had me lean over the sink
while she shampooed the hair that had she had pulled out of the cap. I
went back over to my seat noticing, in the mirror, that my beautiful
Chestnut brown hair was gone. Jennifer sprayed my hair with another
bottle making sure that all of the hair, sticking out, was saturated. I
could see that hair looked lighter.
"This has to set for 5 minutes, I am going to change. This would be a
good time to do your nails."
I sat down, touched up my fingernails with a file and polished them with
the Brick Red polish I had used last week. Soon Jennifer came back in
wearing a blouse, short skirt and heels. She led me over to the sink and
rinsed my hair again. When she finished I went back to my seat and asked
me if I was ready to see my new hair color? "Of course," I said. She
undid the chinstrap, took the cap off, and blotted my hair dry with the
towel.
She combed my hair again and I had to get up and look at myself in the
mirror. I could not believe it. I saw, what I thought was, a perfect
contrast of rich brown hair and blonde highlights. I loved it and gave
Jennifer a big hug and kiss.
"Just remember the next time you wash your hair it will be all gone.
That is why we get a permanent color for our hair." I knew that before
to long I would get my hair colored for real. She sat me down, combed
some mousse through my hair and started rolling it. Before long, I had a
head full of rollers. She then took an old bonnet hair dryer out of her
bag and placed it over my head. She plugged it and I loved the feel of
warm air flowing over my head and rollers. She sat down and asked me to
touch up her hair with a curling iron. She told me how she wanted it and
I must say I did a very good job. This was becoming second nature for
me.
We went to my room and she helped me pick out an outfit to wear. I had
not realized it before, but I had the exact same skirt, blouse,
earrings, necklace and shoes that Jennifer was wearing. I mentioned this
to her and she just said, "I know silly, I helped you pick them out
remember. Please wear them, I so enjoy it when we dress the same.
Everyone will think we are twins or at least sisters." I took them out
of the closet and laid them on my bed. She handed me a pair of panty
hose that matched hers and I put them on. I just love the feel of hose
sliding up my smooth legs. I put the skirt on and went over to the
vanity to do my make-up. Jennifer just watched me do it and gave me a
few suggestions.
I was finished and my hair was dry. Jennifer turned me so that my back
was to the mirror and took the bonnet off. She started unrolling my hair
saying that I am going to look fantastic. She combed out each individual
curl, softly brushed my hair in place and sprayed her creation with
hairspray. When she was finished, she had me turn around and look into
the mirror. I could believe it, my hair was now a rich deep brown with
just enough blonde highlights to add a wonderful contrast. I loved it
and was sad to think it would all go away the next time I washed it.
"That is the look I am going for," said Jennifer "tomorrow I would like
you highlight my hair for me for real." I said that I would love to.
I finished dressing while Jennifer finished putting on her make-up. We
stood next to each other looking into a mirror. We looked enough alike
that no one would suspect that we were not at least sisters and perhaps
twins. We went out to the family room to show mom. Mom just stared at us
for a moment then started crying. When we asked why she was crying, she
just said, "It is just because you two look so beautiful and so much
alike." She hugged us good-bye and said, "You two have a good time and
don't let the boys have their way with you. Be home before 12:00." We
blushed, said goodnight, walked out to Jennifer's car and drove off.
As mom watched us drive away, she picked up the phone and called Betty
Wagner. "Hi Betty this is Amanda, I think it is time that we talked with
them...also there is something you should know about Robert...why don't
you two come over tomorrow for lunch ... ok goodbye until then."
As we were driving, I could not get the look on mom's face out of my
mind. I knew something was bothering her and I felt bad not knowing. I
mentioned it to Jennifer and she said that she noticed it too. We talked
about it for a bit then decided not to let it spoil our evening.
Jennifer started telling me about her cousin Beth. Jennifer and Beth's
moms are sisters. When her father left, she and her mom moved in with
Beth and her mom. They lived together for almost 7 years. Beth's mom
met, married Jack Roberts and he adopted Beth. To Beth, Jack was her
dad. Jennifer and Beth are very close, more like sisters then cousins.
They talk a lot and Jennifer told her all about me. How she was helping
me find my inner girl and that, she was attracted to me because I was
becoming a girl. She said that she would be introducing me as Suzie, her
friend from Johnson High. Beth's parents were going to be home and they
knew nothing about me.
We were the first to arrive and Jennifer introduced me to her cousin,
aunt and uncle. Their comment was that we looked like we could be
sisters. Janice Roberts gave me the same kind of quizzical look that mom
had given me earlier. We helped them finish getting ready for the party.
Beth confided in me that she thought I looked fantastic and would not
have guessed my secret in a million years.
Soon the other kids started to arrive. Jennifer knew some of the others
and introduced me to everyone. It bothered me a bit that some of the
kids knew people at Johnson High that I knew. They would ask if I knew
so-and-so. I would just say that I knew who they were, if I did, but did
not know them.
I got to know some of the other girls there and started bonding with
them. I noticed one guy looking at me and it made me a little nervous.
The girls kidded me saying, "Look Rodger is looking at you...Gees he is
cute I wish he would look at me like that...You know he is 18 and in
college now." I blushed and said I was not interested. Rodger came over
and started to talk to me. I looked around for Jennifer to bail me out
but could not see her anywhere. We talked for about a half an hour. I
was feeling very comfortable with him. Then he asked me to dance. I
politely said no thanks but Rodger was persistent and the girls egged me
on to dance with him. What could I do, so I said yes? Just as we got to
the dance floor, it switched from a fast song to a slow one. It felt
weird and different trying to follow someone else's lead. I quickly
learned and actually started enjoying it. He pulled me close; I laid my
head on his shoulder and closed my eyes. I started to feel like I was in
a dream state. He was holding me tight. I felt like I was an extension
of him as we moved with the music. I could feel him getting hard and
hoped that he would not feel me. I did not even hear it when the song
ended. I was so engrossed in being in his arms. I looked up and saw
everyone, including Jennifer, looking and smiling at us. I started
blushing and immediately thought, "What was I doing? I do not like guys,
or least I did not think I did." I excused myself grabbed Jennifer by
the hand and went to the bathroom.
"Well girl it looks like you have a boyfriend already," She giggled.
"Cut it out, you were supposed to be there to help me fend off the guys.
When we go out, Rodger will expect me to talk and dance with him the
rest of the night. What am I supposed to do.?"
"Just be polite, after tonight you will probably never see him again. If
he asks for your phone number, just say no thank you, unless you really
like him. Listen, I love you Suzie, but as a girl, it is normal to be
attracted to guys. It is normal to have conflicted feelings at our age.
Last Friday night, after you went to bed, Laurie gave me some good
advice regarding sexuality. I am starting to rethink whether or not I am
a lesbian. So if it feels good to be with Rodger, then just enjoy it. I
could tell you really enjoyed dancing with him didn't you?"
"Yes I guess I did. When he took control and led me, I felt like I was
floating on air. I must admit that I did not want it to end. However, I
cannot lead him on. When he finds out who I really am...I just would not
want to hurt him or have him get mad at me. What should I do?"
"Just be yourself. Tell him that you really enjoyed dancing with him,
but that you are not interested right now."
Then there was a knock on the door, it was Beth. "Is everything alright?
May I come in?"
I opened the door and she entered. "Gees, girl you are something. You
are all the Rodger can talk about. I thought you did not like guys. What
are you going to do?"
"I guess I will just say that I am not interested. This just is not a
good time for me right now. For now, everything you see is a fake. This
is me but, I am not real now. Does that make sense? But I must admit
that I really enjoyed being with him and dancing with him."
"Then," Beth said, "enjoy being with him. I know him and I think he
would really enjoy getting to know you."
I looked at Beth, and then looked at Jennifer. She smiled and gave me a
nod yes. I could not believe it I was going to talk with a guy and hope
he would ask me out. I checked my make-up and we all went back out.
Rodger came up and asked if everything was all right? I said yes that it
was. We went sat down and talked for another hour. It turned out that we
liked much of the same music, movies food and such. I purposely left out
many of the details. We danced a couple of more times when Jennifer
reminded me that it was time to go home. We said good-bye to Beth and
her parents and thanked them for a wonderful party. Rodger asked me for
my phone number and I gave it to him. He walked us out to the car,
opened the door for me and looked at me with his hazel eyes. Was I
supposed to kiss him now or what? I looked at Jennifer and she smiled
and puckered her lips.
"Rodger, I really enjoyed meeting you tonight. I would like to see you
again."
He took hold of me, hugged me, looked into my eyes and kissed me. I
closed my eyes and kissed him back. Our tongues meet and I just about
melted from kissing him. I almost could not believe that I was kissing a
guy and really enjoying it. I felt him grab my butt and it sent an
electric charge through my whole body. I was ready to do anything for
him. Then reality set in as Jennifer said we had to be going or be late.
We kissed once more, I got into the car, and we drove off.
Jennifer was all giggly. "If you do not beat it all, here you have been
a girl for what two weeks now and you have this hot stud all over you. I
am jealous, you know that don't you?"
"You are the one that gave me the ok to go after him. Do you think he
will call?"
"I would bet anything that he does. He is so smitten with you that he
would do anything you wanted. Guys are funny that way."
We talked about the party and she gave me tips on what to do and not to
do with a guy. Soon we were home and she stopped in our driveway. I was
saying thanks for taking me to the party when she leaned over and gave
me a big kiss on the lips. She then pulled back and looked at me.
"This still seems strange, but kissing you just seems like it is not
right. Maybe I am not a lesbian after all."
"I know it is a little weird."
I got out of the car and went into the house. Mom was waiting up for me.
She asked, "How was the party?"
I told her about meeting Rodger, and how I was a little confused with
the whole thing. Her advice was to talk it over with Dr. Anderson and if
I saw Rodger again tell him the whole story and let him make up his mind
what he wants to do.
"He might like you a lot, but not be able to accept you for who you are.
It is better to find out early. The later you wait, the harder it will
be on both of you."
I looked up and Laurie was standing there.
"What is this, it sounds like someone has a boyfriend. Tell me all about
it."
I retold the whole story and she came over and hugged me.
"Mom it looks like my little sister is growing up."
We talked for a while and I went to my bedroom. I was undressing when
Laurie came in and started giving more of the low down on boys. I could
not believe some of the things she said guys would try to get you into
the sack. Maybe this was because I used the feminine side of my brain to
do my thinking that I had no clue of what to expect. She went on to say
that, someday I would meet a guy that I really liked and one that would
accept me.
"In that case you would probably want to, or have to, give him head
sometime. Practice with a hotdog; learn to relax and not to gag.
Practice until you can slid it all of the way down without chocking.
Some women like to swallow cum some do not. You have the advantage to be
able to taste your own to see which you are."
She left and I finished getting undressed and ready for bed. As soon as
my head hit the pillow, I was asleep. I was dreaming about Rodger and
Laurie's advice. I was wearing a bra, panties, a garter belt, stocking
and heels. I was sitting on my bed when Rodger came in. I got up, went
over, and kissed him. I could feel him getting hard. He takes off my bra
and sucking my breasts nibbling on my nipples. I unbutton his pants and
slide them down his legs. I reach into his underware and stroke his huge
cock. I feel him getting excited, he lays me down on the bed and pulls
my panties off. He lies down next to me and rubs my pussy while kissing
me. He moves my legs apart and moves between them. He lowers himself on
to me and I feel him enter me...suddenly I wake up realizing that I had
just cum into my pajamas. I lay there all wet and sticky. I could not
believe that I was dreaming about Rodger having sex with me and me
having a wet dream. I got up, grabbed a nightie and went into the
bathroom to clean up. I was ready to wash them out when I thought of
what Laurie had said. Why not I thought, so I started licking up my cum
with my tongue, not to bad I thought. I finished getting cleaned up and
returned to bed.
I must have been tired because I slept to almost 10:00. I went to the
kitchen to find mom and Laurie talking and eating breakfast. Mom says
good morning, asks how did I sleep and what she can get me for
breakfast? She asks what my plans are for today and I say that I am
going to put some blonde highlights in Jennifer's hair. She tells me
that Jennifer and her mom are coming over for lunch. I thought that this
sounded a little weird because Jennifer did not mention it last night.
Then I started to panic.
"Ms. Wagner does not know about Suzie, what should I do?"
"Honey, I told Betty about you and she is alright with Suzie."
I started getting worried, was mom telling the whole world about me? She
said that she only told Ms. Wagner and that I was not to worry. We then
chatted about the party last night, how I felt about being attracted to
boys and they both gave me more advice. Mom went to the bathroom and I
told Laurie about my dream. She just smiled and said, "That is normal; I
have had several of those before. I had the biggest crush on Justin
Timberlake."
I went to my room and got ready. I put on a blouse, pants and my new
flats. I touched up my hair with my new curling iron and put on a little
eye shadow, liner, mascara and lipstick. Just as I was finishing up, I
hear the doorbell ring. I go out to meet Jennifer and her mom. Jennifer
had an "I have no clue why mom is here" look on her face. Ms. Wagner
stared at me for a moment then said, "Oh my God Amanda, you were right."
She then had Jennifer and me stand next to each other, "Oh my God
Amanda, you were right."
Mom and Ms. Wagner looked at each other and nodded. They had Laurie,
Jennifer and I sit down together.
"This is going to be difficult," mom said, "but there is something we
have to tell you."
"What is it mom" I said.
"Just be quiet and listen, Betty you start."
"Jennifer I have always told you that your father ran out on us. That is
partially true dear. I became involved with him, later when I found out
I was pregnant with you he split and I have not seen him since. What I
did not know at the time was that he was already married. His name was
Jack Marks. Yes he was stupid enough to use his real name."
All three looked at each other. That was my father's name.
"Yes that was your father," mom said, "I was pregnant with you Suzie and
your father cheated on me. He left us when I was 8 months along. I filed
for divorce shortly there after. He moved across country and you girls
know the rest. Betty and I happened to meet at a group for abandoned
wives and mothers."
"We became pretty good friends," Ms. Wager said, "we started talking and
it did not take long to realize that the man I had the fling with was
your father and Amanda's husband. I guess what we are saying is that
Laurie, Jennifer and Robe...err...Suzie you are sisters."
The silence was deafening, no one said anything for over a minute. This
explained why Jennifer and I looked so much alike and why she was
feeling weird about kissing me.
"Don't everyone talk at once," mom said.
"That explains a lot," Laurie finally said, "I have always felt that
Jennifer was more like a sister than just a friend."
We talked for over an hour, trying to make sense of everything. Mom had
never really talked much about our father and she filled us in with the
details of how he was a controlling, abusive, scum ball.
Ms. Wagner legally changed her and Jennifer's last name to give the
impression that she was an abandoned wife. Shortly after Jennifer was
born, her sister Janice's first husband was killed in a car accident.
Both Ms. Wagner and Janice had trouble making ends meet so they moved in
together. Janice stayed home with Beth and Jennifer while mom went to
work. They lived together for almost 7 years when Janice met and married
Jack Roberts, who adopted Beth.
Neither mom nor Ms. Wagner ever really dated or had a relationship
again. They did become very good friends, but decided that it would be
best if the "girls" did not know of each until they were old enough to
understand what happened. The way mom and Ms. Wagner looked at each
other; I think we all suspected that they had been more than just good
friends.
Ms. Wagner told Laurie and me to call her Betty now that we are all
related, well somewhat anyway. We all were very happy. Jennifer was
excited because she finally had an older, by 3 months, sister and Laurie
and I because we both had another sister. Mom and Betty went to the
kitchen to make lunch and we went to my room to talk.
"I knew that there was some reason why I felt weird kissing you Suzie,"
said Jennifer, "it felt like I was kissing my sister, because that is
what I was doing."
I had to agree and we talked of what it was going to be like being
sisters. Soon lunch was ready and we went back into the kitchen to eat.
During lunch, we were told that it would be great if we wanted to spend
the night in each other's home. We were all caught up in what was
happening, when the phone rang.
"Hello," Laurie answered, "no this is her sister Laurie, one moment I
will get her." She handed me the phone saying that it was some guy named
Rodger. Everyone started to tease me, so I took the phone in the other
room.
"Hello," I said.
"Hi Suzie, this is Rodger, how are you today?"
"Great thanks," was all I could think of.
"I really had a good time with you last night and I would like to see
you again, if I could. I know it is very short notice, but would you
like to go to the movies this afternoon?"
"I would love to but, I will have to take a rain check on the movies. We
have some things going on today and I can not get away."
"Well ok then," he sounded a little disappointed, "maybe another time."
"I would like that a lot."
"Would you like to get a pizza and see a movie Friday night?"
"I would love to. Call me later in the week and we can set the time.
But, I really have to be going now."
"Ok it is a date, Friday night it is."
"Good bye"
"Goodbye"
I hung up the phone and went out to the other room. As I entered,
everyone said "Well?" I told them that he had asked me out on a date for
Friday night. I asked mom if it was all right if I went. She asked if I
had told him about me and I said no, but that I will. She said yes but,
I had to tell him and she had to meet him. We talked for another hour
when Jennifer, getting a little impatient, said, "Suzie, you were going
to highlight my hair for me," as she handed me a box that said L'Or?al
F?ria Shimmer Strands Quick Shimmer Highlights ? Chestnut Changes.
"Ok let's get started."
We went into the bathroom; I opened the highlighting kit and read the
directions thoroughly. Following the directions, I combed and parted her
hair, as she wanted to wear it. I put the cap that she had used on me,
over her head and proceeded to pull small strands of hair through the
holes in the cap. After I had finished, I combed and parted hair. The
instructions said, "...this is the area where the most visible
highlights will fall. By placing highlights along the part, they will
show off nicely when you style your hair." I put on the gloves and mix
the color and developer together. I clip her hair into sections to keep
it out of the way while I am applying the color. I start from the back
of the crown and work your way to the front and top of the head. I
unclip one section of hair and use the end of the rattail comb to pick
up several strands of hair sticking out from the cap. I apply color
solution to the applicator brush and brush it onto hair. I then gently
lay this small section of hair on the head without pressing the hair. I
take the end of the comb continue highlighting small sections of hair. I
worked from the back and bottom (underneath) layers to the front and top
layers. After almost 45 minutes, I am finished.
We had to wait 20 minutes, so I suggested that we go and see what
everyone else is doing. Betty was getting ready to leave but had to make
a comment on how Jennifer looked. We asked if Jennifer could stay the
night and that she could wear some of my clothes. Betty said yes and
gave us a hug goodbye. She hugged mom goodbye and I swear that I saw a
twinkle in their eyes.
Betty left and it was time to rinse Jennifer's hair with warm water,
apply the conditioner and massage it into her hair for several minutes.
I rinsed her hair and towel dried it. I asked her how she wanted it
styled and she said that she wanted it set in rollers like last week. I
got out my rollers and proceeded to set her hair for her. Soon her head
full of rollers. She was anxious to see the results so she opted to wear
the bonnet hair dryer she had brought over for me on Friday. We went out
to the family room and turned on the TV. Casa Blanca was on and we sat
down and started to watch it. I put the bonnet over her head, plugged
the hair dryer in and turned it on.
Soon the movie was over, we were both crying and Jennifer's hair was
dry. We went back to my room, sat her facing away from the mirror and I
took all the rollers out of her hair. I combed out each of the curls,
leaving her with lots of soft waves; I brushed it a bit and asked her if
she was ready to see my newest creation? She immediately turned around
looking at herself in the mirror.
"Oh Suzie, my hair looks wonderful. It is just what I wanted. Those
subtle highlights really set of the rest of my hair. I love it! I think
we have found your true skill. You can be my hair stylist from now on.
Maybe I will have you give me a perm in a couple of weeks."
"I would love to. You know that I am jealous of you being able to color
your hair. I would love to have a nicer hair color and permanent
highlights. Let us go and show mom and Laurie before I get to sad."
"Why don't we then? We can go to the mall and stop at the Sally Beauty
Supply and get everything we need."
"I don't know. What will people say? How will I explain it?"
"Don't worry; we will get a color that closely matches yours, with very
subtle highlights. Please just trust me will you?"
"Uh, ok I guess."
"You will love them!"
We went out and found that our neighbor Nancy was there. Everyone fussed
over Jennifer's hair and was impressed with the job I had done. Nancy
asked if I could do hers sometime, I said I would love to. She said that
she would even pay me. I told everyone that Jennifer was going to color
and put highlights in my hair. Everyone thought it was a good idea, if
that is what I really wanted. I said that I did.
Laurie said that she would take us to the mall; I really need to think
about getting my driver's license. We spent the rest of the afternoon
going from shop to shop, trying on clothes, but buying nothing. We went
to the Sally Beauty Supply store and Jennifer asked me if I still wanted
to go in there. I said yes, "But quickly before I chickened out". We
went in and looked at several products, trying to match the hair color
to mine. We finally settled on L'Oreal's Couleur Experte 2-Step Multi-
Tonal Hair Color System, 6.3 Warm Brioche, Light Golden brown. It
contained both the base color and matching highlights. From the picture
on the box, the base color was very close to mine, but richer looking,
and the highlights were very subtle. I could not wait.
We met up with Laurie and got home just in time for dinner. I showed mom
the box of hair coloring. She smiled and said if that is what I wanted,
she thought it would look good on me.
We quickly ate dinner and Jennifer and I went to my bedroom. I undressed
to take a shower and put out of Robert's old tee shirts to wear, I guess
there is some use for his clothes after all.
I jumped into the shower, washed the temporary color out of my hair, and
dried my hair with the blow dryer. Jennifer sat me down, put a towel
around my shoulders and opened the hair color box. She put on a pair of
gloves, mixed the color together.
"This is your last chance to back out."
"No just hurry so I won't." She then started applying the color from the
top of my head to the bottom. After 10 minutes she was done. I had to
wait 25 minutes so I reluctantly started taking the polish off my
fingernails, knowing that I could not wear it to school tomorrow.
Time was up and she took me over to the bathroom sink and rinsed my hair
for almost 5 minutes. She towel dried my hair and sat me down again. She
asked me if I wanted her to use the cap again and I said yes. She put it
over my head and started to pull strands of my hair through the holes in
the cap. When she was finished, she mixed the 2nd part of the hair color
into a paste. She took each strand of my hair and brushed the paste on
to it, working it in with her fingers. When she was finished, I had to
wait another 25 minutes.
We went out to talk with mom and Laurie. Mom looked at me and laughed
saying, "I never thought I would see the day..." then she caught herself
and stopped. "Have you thought of what you are going to say if the kids
at school tease you?"
"No but I will think of something," I said optimistically.
We talked some more. Mom was concerned that maybe I was taking my
transition a little to fast. I told her I had no regrets and was happy
with everything I had done so far. I told her that for the first time in
a very long time I feel like I am normal as Suzie.
The timer went off and it was time to rinse out my hair. We went to the
bathroom and Jennifer rinsed my hair for a good 5 minutes. She towel
dried it and removed the cap. She took the conditioner and worked it
through my hair with her fingers and comb and started to blow dry it. We
thought it would be best to style it, as I would wear it tomorrow.
Soon she was done and I could not wait to turn around and see the
results in the mirror. She was right; the color was very close to my
natural color but looked richer and more vibrant. The highlights were
barely discernable, but they provided just enough contrast to really
setoff my hair color. I gave her a big hug and said thank you for
talking me into this. We went out for mom and Laurie to see. They both
thought my hair looked fantastic, just subtle enough so not to raise any
eyebrows.
It is amazing how fast time goes when you are having fun. It was pushing
10:00 and time for bed. Jennifer was going to sleep in Laurie's room
again. I put on the baby doll nightie that Jennifer had given me,
cleansed and moisturized my face and crawled into bed. My head hit the
pillow and before I knew it my alarm was going off.
I dragged myself out of the bed realizing that it was time to become
Robert again. I got dressed and pulled my hair back in a ponytail.
Jennifer knocked on the door and came in looking for something to wear.
She put on a pair of pants and a blouse and we went to the kitchen for
breakfast. Mom reminded me, as if she really had to, of my appointment
with Dr. Anderson this afternoon. We finished our breakfast and Laurie
gave us a ride to school.
The day went fast. Very few of the other students even noticed that I
had colored and highlighted my hair. A couple of girls that were friends
of mine, did notice and even had me take my ponytail down so they could
see. They thought that my hair looked good and asked why I had colored
it. I simply told them the truth that Jennifer thought it would looked
good and talked me into it. One of the girls, Lynn, said, kidding me,
looks like someone is pussy whipped. I just smile, if they had a clue.
Before I knew it, it was time to meet mom. She took me home I went in
and changed. First I quickly plugged in Laurie's hot rollers. I went to
my closet and picked a ? sleeve scoop neck print blouse, denim skirt and
my flats. I went into the bathroom and put several of the hot rollers in
my hair. I put on a light foundation, a mauve eye shadow, black
eyeliner, mascara and lipstick that matched my eye shadow. I took the
hot rollers out of my hair and brushed it into a very feminine style. I
was proud of my self. I thought I did a very good job getting ready and
in less than 20 minutes. I went out to show mom and she was pleased
saying that I had learned a lot in the last 3 weeks. Has it been only 3
weeks? In some ways, it seemed shorter in others longer.
We get there a couple of minutes early, walk in and Diane is at the
receptionist's desk. She smiles and says, "May I help...is that you
Robert...err...Suzie? You look fantastic!"
"Thank you," I said.
"You even colored your hair, it looks great. One moment and I will tell
Dr. Anderson that you are here." She got up and went into the Dr.'s
office. A few moments later, she came out telling us that I can go right
in. Dr. Anderson was as kind and gracious as the last time we were
there. She said that she was pleased that I chose to come as Suzie. She
was impressed that I chose to dress in an appropriate way for a 16-year
old girl. Many males, especially the older they get, tend to over kill
on the feminine dress. Most wear things that most women would not be
caught dead in.
"This shows me that you are very comfortable with Suzie and that you
don't feel the need of putting on pretenses that you are trying too hard
to look like a girl."
