A Year In My Life
Part II - 4
Thursday, May 15
We'd just moved our things into Kate's parent's house for
the summer and were taking a break. Her mom had joined us
and said, "I was doing some spring cleaning and getting your
room ready for you and I found something."
Kate looked at me, then at her mother, and asked, "What was
that mom?"
"I was rearranging the things on the shelf in your closet
and I knocked a box off."
"So?"
"When it landed on the floor it opened and I couldn't help
seeing what was in it."
"What was it?"
We watched as she got up, walked over to the kitchen desk,
picked up something, walked back to the table, and as she
sat, she set the wedding album on the table and said,
"This."
There's no reason that I should be nervous, but I got a knot
in my stomach.
She continued with, "It looks like a wedding album. Who are
these people? Are they friends of yours?"
Kate took the album and opened it to a page that contained
our pictures, as Gwen and Kelly, right after the minister
had performed the joining ceremony. She turned the book to
her mother and said, "Do these two girls look familiar?"
Her mother looked at the picture, then at me, then back at
the picture, pointed to me, and said, "I think this is
Gary."
"It is, and the other one?"
"The other? I'm not sure."
"Look closer."
Her mother studied the picture for a while, then looked at
Kate, and said, "It's you. Isn't it?"
"Is it?"
Her mother looked at the picture again, then back at Kate
and said, "It is you, with longer hair, heavier makeup, and
glasses."
"We had another ceremony, in the same chapel that we were
married in."
"Another ceremony?"
"The ceremony is called a commitment ceremony. Our friends
decided that we needed something special."
"But, you did it as two girls?"
"These friends know us as two girls, even though they know
that Gwen is really Gary. The ceremony is usually used
between couples of the same sex when there's no wedding
license. Two of our friends put it together for us as a way
to celebrate our relationship with our friends that weren't
at the wedding. Did you happen to read the passage in the
front of the album?"
"No. I just quickly looked at the album."
Kate took the album, turned to the page where the commitment
ceremony was, gave the album back to her mother, and said,
"Read this."
Kate's mother read the ceremony, and said, "That's
beautiful."
"We thought so too when we repeated it to each other.
There's one other person in those pictures that you should
recognize?"
"Who's that?"
Kate turned to a page that had a picture of Jaimie and
Billie. Then she said, "The tall one is Billie. It's the
oriental girl that you've seen before."
"The oriental girl? She stood up with you at your wedding,
didn't she?"
"Yes. But, you've seen her before that. Remember the high
school dance where we all got in trouble?"
"How could I forget?"
"Remember who won the boy best dressed as a girl contest?"
"It was her! I mean him."
"No, you're right, her. She's a transsexual. She's become
a girl."
Kate's mother sat there in thought for a minute, then said,
"These friends. Who are they?"
"They're all members of a support group."
"A support group?"
"Everyone that's a member is either gay, lesbian,
transgendered, or someone who loves them."
"You're not gay or lesbian, are you?"
With a little smile Kate said, "No mom. We're not. You
remember how much Gary likes to dress like a girl?"
"Of course I do."
"He's transgendered, a cross-dresser."
"I'd always wondered about that. Seeing how good he's
looked, the times that I've seen him dressed as a girl.
Especially that time you went to the mall. He appeared to
be comfortable as a girl. I've wondered if there was more
to it than just dressing as a girl."
"There isn't. Gary just has a very strong feminine side
that we both really enjoy. We've had a lot of fun with it
including attending the support group meetings. When we go,
I go as a girl named Kelly."
"So, everyone in the pictures is a member of the support
group?"
"Yes. Even the minister. The church is very supportive of
alternate life styles and lets the support group meet in
their community room. The group is also a recognized
university organization, so we could meet on campus, but
everyone likes the church."
"Why Kelly?"
"To start with, it was a way to disguise who we really were.
After awhile I just liked the look and enjoyed being
different, just as Gary does."
We continued to talking with Kate's mother for a long time.
It appeared that she understood where we were coming from
with all the transgendered talk. When we told her what the
psychologist had told us about ourselves, we left out the
part about Gary possibly living as a girl.
Just as we were finishing, Kate's father walked in and said,
"Hi honey. Hi kids." Kate's mother, placed the album on her
lap and, said, "Hi honey. Have a good meeting?"
Kate said, "Hi daddy."
I said, "Hi pop."
Kate's father stopped in his tracks, looked at me, and said,
"Gary, anything but pop."
"Sorry. Hi dad."
Later that night, as Kate and I were laying cuddled in bed,
she asked, "Do you think we should tell everyone?"
"Tell everyone what?", I asked.
"About Gwen."
"Everyone?"
"Our parents. Your mother knows that you've dressed as Gwen
once in a while. My dad has seen Gwen. Maybe they should
know more about you. Maybe even our brothers and your
sister should know."
"Why?"
"Don't you think it would be better to tell them, than to
let them find out in some other way?"
"Maybe."
"We'll talk later. Right now I've got other things on my
mind."
Friday, May 23
Katie and I had settled into being home and living with her
parents. I'd already started my job and Kate started hers
on Monday.
My brother, Bob, had come home from the Air Force Academy.
Mary, his girl friend, had flown in with him. Like Kate and
me, they were going to college close to each other. Bob was
going to be home for a couple of weeks before going back.
Anne, my sister, had also come home for a few days to see
Bob and everyone else. Tonight we were all having dinner
together at my parent's house. Even Mary was joining us.
It was like great big family reunion.
Kate and I arrived at my parent's house around four in the
afternoon. Bob was the first to see us when we walked into
the house and the first thing out of his mouth was, "Bro.
You just couldn't wait could you?"
"Sorry," I said, "Katie and I just couldn't stand to be
apart any longer."
He walked over to us and with a big grin said, "Do I get to
kiss the bride?"
He didn't wait for my answer. He grabbed Kate and kissed
her. This kiss lasted longer than I thought it should. I
finally tapped him on the shoulder and said, "Enough
already."
He broke the kiss and said, "Bro. I've got to give my new
sister-in-law a proper welcome."
"You just did."
Kate with that sly smile of hers said, "Don't worry, Bob.
He's just jealous."
Mary and Anne walked over and each gave Kate a big hug. I
also got hugs from them. Then Kate and I got the twenty
questions about the wedding and why we hadn't waited.
Kate finally looked at Mary and said, "When were you going
to tell us?"
"Tell you what?", Mary said.
"Oh come on. No-one could miss that big rock on your
finger."
"Oh that."
"Yeah that."
"Bob asked me yesterday."
Slapping Bob on the back I said, "Congratulations bro. Can
I kiss my sister-in-law to be?"
Just like Bob I didn't wait for an answer. I grabbed Mary
and kissed her.
The five of us went into the den and talked. Bob filled us
in on what the Air Force Academy was like. Anne told us
about her job in Washington. Mary filled us in on her
college career. And, Kate and I told everyone about State
and our wedding.
Then we finally got Mary to tell us about Bob asking her to
marry him. She told us that yesterday afternoon, right
after they had gotten home, they had gone to one of the city
parks and taken a walk. When she told us that the trail
that they had taken ended up at a waterfall, Kate and I
looked at each other and smiled. She went on to tell us how
they were at the waterfall and Bob had gotten down on one
knee to propose. Kate and I couldn't help but laugh a
little.
Bob asked, "What's so funny you two?" "I though the
waterfall was our special spot?", Kate said.
"Your special spot?"
"Yeah. That's where Gary asked me."
Mary looked at Kate and said, "A family tradition?"
"Could very well be.", Kate replied.
Then both of them looked at Anne, and said, "Anne?"
"Don't look at me.", Anne said, "I'm not going to be ready,
for that step, for a long time."
Diner was a fun time. Having everyone together at one time,
remembering things that had happened, telling Kate and Mary
some family secrets, filler the time. No, we didn't discuss
Gwen.
My dad gave a toast to both couples, Kate and me, and Mary
and Bob. Then with his droll sense of humor, as he finished
the toast to Mary and Bob he looked at Kate and me and said,
"And, we all hope that we'll have more than a couple of
days notice before the wedding."
Later that evening as we were all sitting around talking Bob
said, "Anyone up for going to Greg's Drive-In? Milkshakes?
My treat."
My mom said, "Why don't you kids just go?"
"Mom, you and dad are a part of this family too."
"We know. But, you kids go and have fun."
"Can we bring you back something?"
"No. Just have fun."
Since Kate and I were going home from Greg's we drove
ourselves, and Bob drove Mary and Anne. On the way, Kate
asked, "Do you think this might be a good time to tell
them?"
"Tell who? What?"
"Bob, Mary, and Anne, about Gwen."
"I'm not sure about telling anyone."
"Lover. We've talked about this."
"I know. I'm just worried that it won't go over very well."
"We'll just play it by ear. If the time is right, we'll
bring it up."
"If the time is right?"
"Just follow my lead."
"Yeah, right."
As we were getting out of the car at Greg's, I saw her take
something out of the under-seat, storage bin. I asked her,
"What's that?"
Kate said, "The album."
"The album?"
A little sheepishly Katie said, "Uh huh."
"Why?"
"It helped with my mom."
"Katie, don't push it."
"I won't."
The five of us walked into Greg's and sat in a booth, Kate
and I on one side, and Anne, Bob, and Mary, on the other.
Anne said, "I feel like the odd man out."
Kate asked, "Why?"
"I'm the only one without a date."
"Anne this is a family thing, not a date."
We placed our order, and while we were waiting for our order
to arrive, we just started reminiscing. Bob started talking
about high school and things that had happened. When he
started talking about the spring dance during his senior
year, I caught Mary and Kate exchanging glances.
I put my hand on Kate's knee, leaned over, and whispered,
"What are you planning?"
She whispered back, "Nothing, why?"
"The looks that you and Mary have been exchanging."
Before Kate could say anything, Bob said, "You know the
oriental guy that won the contest at the dance really did
look like a girl that night."
Kate looked at me, then at Bob, and said, "He's become a
girl."
"Huh?"
"That was Jimmy Yamashita who's now Jaimie Yamashita. She's
transsexual and went through everything that it takes to
become a girl."
"How do you know?"
I said, "He and I talked shortly after the dance and he told
me all about it. Also, we ran into her at State."
"So he's one of those?"
"One of what?"
"One of those . . . those . . . "
"Those what?"
"You know. One of those . . . "
"You mean queers?"
"Yea. One of those."
"Bro. This isn't like you. I never thought that you were
homophobic. You've never come across that way before."
"I'm not. But, someone doing that just isn't right."
"Bob, there are a lot of people like her. They grow up
feeling like they're in the wrong body. She was just lucky
to find someone to help her."
"You like her?"
"She's a very nice person and a good friend."
"A very good friend.", Kate added.
"You're saying that this is normal?", Bob asked.
"What's normal? Can you tell me?"
"I guess a guy and a girl."
"You guess? So, a girl can't love a girl, or a guy can't
love a guy, or someone can't feel that they're born in the
wrong body?"
"I . . . I don't know."
"Just realize that Jaimie is happy with who she is. As a
boy, she was unhappy, confused, and getting into trouble.
Now that she's able to live as a girl and finally become
one, she's happy and knows who she is. She even has a
boyfriend, and yes he knows that she's transgendered and
doesn't care."
Bob just sat there and finally said, "I guess I understand."
"Just realize that there are all kinds of people in this
world.", Kate said, "There are gays, lesbians, transsexuals,
bisexuals, cross-dressers, and more. Learn to live and let
live. Just because a male, or for that matter a female,
doesn't fit what some people call the norm doesn't mean that
they are wrong in what they feel. Their brain is just wired
differently and no one knows why."
Again, Bob sat there in thought and then said, "You know. I
like that better than the militaries 'don't ask, don't tell'
policy."
Mary finally said, "Bob, I really didn't think you felt that
way about gays. You are more open minded than that."
"I know. I guess hearing of someone that I knew was that
way just made me not think straight. I didn't think before
I spoke."
"Bro," I said, "remember what dad always says, 'place your
brain in gear before engaging your mouth'."
"I know."
Anne had been sitting there quietly through this whole
exchange. Kate finally looked at her, then whispered to me,
"Anne's crying."
I looked at Anne and she was crying. Kate asked, "Anne
what's wrong?"
"Nothing.", Anne said wiping away the tears.
"Sis.", I said, "What's wrong."
Bob turned, looked at Anne, and put his arm around her. She
looked at him, then at me, and finally at Kate. I saw her
take a deep breath, and say, "Katie, you are a very special
sister-in-law. Gary, you are the greatest brother in the
world. I've been afraid to tell anyone this, but after what
you just said I feel that I can at least tell you guys and
that maybe you'll understand. I just hope Bob and Mary
will."
"What Anne?", Kate asked.
"What we talk about here won't go any further, will it?"
"Sure.", Bob said, "It'll be just between the five of us,
right guys?"
Everyone looked at Anne and nodded yes.
Anne looked at Kate for a few seconds, then in almost a
whisper said, "I met a girl in Washington about six months
ago and we're living together."
"Is she your lover?", Kate asked.
"Yeah. But, we both still have boyfriends. I . . . I think
I might be bisexual."
Bob looked at her, actually pulled her closer, and said,
"Sis, it's all right."
"Really? You don't hate me?"
"Anne. You're my sister, my only sister, and no matter
what, I love you."
I looked at Anne and said, "Anne, I love you too. It took a
lot of courage to tell us what you just told us and I think
a lot of you for doing it."
"I agree with Gary.", Kate said, "You told us your biggest
secret and it took real courage to do it. We all love you."
"Kate and Gary," Mary said, "I can't wait to have you for my
sister and brother-in-law. You two have more feeling for
people and who they are, in your little finger, than most
people have in their whole body. And, Anne, you are who you
are and you'll also make a great sister-in-law."
"Guys," Anne said, "thanks. I was so afraid that you would
all hate me when you found out. I should have known better.
Just don't tell mom and dad. I'll do that in my own time
and way."
"Sis," I said, "who you tell and how you tell them is up to
you."
We sat there in silence for a minute, then Bob said, "Anne.
You are still the same person who you've always been. I
think I speak for all of us when I say, we love you and
support you."
Anne gave Bob a big hug, which isn't easy in a restaurant
booth, then said, "I hope we don't have any more family
secrets."
Kate and I looked at each other. Anne must have seen the
looks we gave each other because she said, "You two have
something to tell us?"
"No nothing.", I said.
"That's what I said when there was really something. Now
little brother and sister, what?"
Again I looked at Kate, then back at Anne, and said, "I
guess I've got a secret too."
"I figured that."
I sat there not saying anything until Bob said, "Gary, I
guess all the skeletons in the closet are being let out
tonight. So what's yours?"
I looked at the three sitting across the table from me and I
felt Kate take my hand in hers. I took a deep breath and
said, "This goes back to that spring dance in high school.
Remember how much of a fuss I put up when you wanted me to
go to the dance as a girl?"
"I sure do and it cost me a hundred dollars.", Bob said.
"That was the beginning of something."
Mary asked, "You're still dressing, aren't you?"
"I think you know I am. I think you and Kate have been
talking."
"We are good friends. But, I didn't know until Kate and I
were doing the dinner dishes tonight."
"Are you going to tell the rest of us?", Bob asked.
"I'm a cross-dresser. I enjoy dressing in girls' clothes
and looking like a girl."
"I started that?"
"In a way. Getting me to dress up as a girl for that dance,
brought out something that was hidden in me. I have a very
strong feminine side."
"Kate goes along with this?", Anne asked.
"Yes.", Kate answered, "I love his feminine side almost as
much as his masculine side. We have fun with it. It's
actually become a part of our lives."
We went on to tell them about the two Halloween parties, the
first trip to the mall, other outings, and the support group
at the university. We did leave out all the juicy parts
between Gwen and Kelly.
As we finished Bob said, "You can't look that good as a
girl?"
Kate said, "How good did he look at the dance?"
Bob just nodded yes and said, "Yeah, he did look good."
I looked at Kate and said, "Go on. You've been itching to
show them."
Kate set the wedding album on the table and said, "A couple
of weeks after our wedding, some of our friends at State got
together and put together what's called a commitment
ceremony. It's a ceremony that's usually used for same sex
couples."
Anne looked at the picture on the cover and said, "Two
brides. That's cute."
"That's what our friends also thought. It's the topper that
was on the cake we had."
Kate opened the album to a picture of us and said, "Do you
know these two?"
Bob said, "No. I don't think so."
"Since this is your album, it's got to be the two of you.",
Mary said.
"You're right.", Kate said, "Now turn back a page and read
the ceremony."
Bob turned back a page and they read the commitment
ceremony. When Anne finished, she looked at us and said,
"That is so sweet."
"That's what my mother said."
"She knows?"
"Yes. In fact she's known about Gwen for a long time and is
very supportive."
"Wow. That's so cool. Does my mom know?", Anne asked.
"Yes.", Kate said, "But, not to the extent that mine does.
Both sets of our parents have seen Gary dressed at one time
or another. Even my cousin Wendy has seen, and been out
with, Gwen."
"Gwen?"
"That's the name Gary uses when he's dressed."
They started looking through the rest of the book. When
they turned to the page with Jaimie and Billie on it, I
said, "That's Jaimie Yamashita. The other girl is Billie,
Jaimie's boyfriend."
"Billie's a cross-dresser?", Mary asked.
"Yes.", I said, "They met at the support group and just hit
it off."
"He knows all about her?"
"Everything."
"She's completely a she?"
"As much as she can be. She lived her whole high school
senior year as a girl, then last summer had her surgery.
All of her paper work, including her birth certificate, now
says female. The only thing she can't do, is have
children."
When they were finished looking at the album, Bob looked at
me and said, "I just can't believe that the girl I'm seeing
in these pictures is you. I remember when you dressed up
for the dance. You looked so much like Anne. You no longer
look anything like her."
With a smile Anne said, "I'm glad. I was thinking about
charging him a fee."
"You really go out looking like this, don't you?", Bob
asked.
"I love to.", I said, "Kate and I really enjoy doing things
as girlfriends."
"No-one has ever figured it out?"
"No-one. Mom's even run into us out shopping and didn't
know it was me."
"Gary," Anne said, "you do make one pretty and convincing
girl. I now know why you understand the homosexual
community so well. You may not be a part of it, but you've
seen it and been close to it."
Mary looked at Bob and said, "Care to tell me what skeletons
you have in your closet?"
Bob looked at her and said, "Honey, I'm skeleton-less. Two
is more than enough for this family."
We all laughed.
As Kate and I were heading home, Kate said, "That wasn't too
bad, was it?"
"I guess not.", I said.
"I was a little surprised about Anne."
"Me too. But, you know, she's never had a real steady
boyfriend."
Later as we were cuddling together in bed Kate said, "Anne
wants to meet Gwen."
"What?"
"You heard me?"
"I know. She wants to meet Gwen."
"She told me when the three of us went to the restroom
before we left Greg's. I think Mary might want to see her
again too."
"You think it's a good idea?"
"Why not?"
"We'll have to do it soon. Anne goes back to Washington
next Thursday."
"How about a girl's night out?"
Sunday, May 25
"I told mom.", Kate said.
"Told mom what?", I asked.
"That the four of us were going out to dinner and a
concert."
"What did she say?"
"Have fun."
"Does she know I'm going as Gwen?"
"Of course."
Late in the afternoon I was going through my transformation.
My hair was down, brushed, teased, and curled into a
feminine style. We'd attached my forms, and I was how
sitting at Kate's vanity in my bra and thong doing my
makeup. I was looking for a subdued evening look. One thing
that has never ceased to amaze me, is that no-one, not even
my dad, has ever commented about my feminine eyebrows.
Katie's done a very good job of teaching me how to properly
take care of them, and I keep them trimmed and neat. Not
very thin, but feminine, none the less.
As I applied my makeup, I saw more and more of Gwen. I
replaced the studs in my ears with a nice set of hoops, then
I added the wire rimmed glasses, and I was looking at Gwen.
Not too long ago it was strange seeing this pretty girl
looking back at me, but it now seemed like a normal thing.
I liked Gwen. I liked being Gwen.
Katie walked over to where I was sitting, gave me a kiss on
the cheek, and said, "You look so nice."
"Thanks lover.", I said, "It's all because of you."
"You're sweet. You've come a long way and that's because
you've wanted to. I just provided some guidance."
"Katie, without you, Gwen wouldn't exist."
I turned and carefully kissed her.
Katie said, "Lover, we'd better stop this or we won't be
going out tonight."
"That would be fine by me."
"You don't want to disappoint Mary and Anne do you?"
"No."
I got up so that Kate could work on her makeup. As I got
up, I picked up a bottle of nail polish that matched what
was on my hands and walked over to our bed. I sat down and
carefully polished my toe nails. I was going to wear a pair
of open toed wedge heels and wanted my feet to look nice.
Once the polish was dry, I walked over to our closet and
tried to find something to wear. I was beginning to
understand what real girls go though trying to decide what
to wear. I was having a real problem and my wardrobe wasn't
that big.
I had tucked again so I could wear the tight hip hugger
jeans that we bought last week. I guess Kate saw me
standing there just looking into the closet because she
said, "Honey, the red short sleeved blouse with the v-neck
would look really nice with the new jeans."
"You think?", I asked, as I looked at the blouse.
"Yes."
I took the blouse out of the closet and laid it next to the
jeans on the bed, and Kate was right, they did look good
together. I mumbled, "I'll never get the hang of fashion."
"Love, I've been doing it for nineteen years. You'll learn
in time."
Kate helped me into the waist cincher, then I lay on the bed
and struggled into the jeans. These had buttons up the left
side of the front and they were tight, but I was finally
able to button them. I stood and put on the blouse. Katie
looked at me, smiled, and said, "That does look sharp. Don't
forget some jewelry."
"These jeans are tight.", I said.
"They'll loosen up."
"I hope; I don't want to pop one of the buttons."
With a grin she said, "You won't."
I walked back over to the vanity and opened our jewelry box.
The first thing I slipped on, was my engagement ring. I
then found the necklace with the two diamond hearts and
fastened it around my neck. Then after adding a couple more
rings and a bracelet, I turned back to Kate, and said,
"Well, will I do?"
She looked at me, smiled, and said "Lover, you look great."
While Kate finished dressing, I started trying to find
Gwen's voice and it didn't take me very long. Kate again
looked at me, smiled, and said, "I think Mary and Anne are
going to be very surprised."
With a worried look, I said, "I bet your mom and dad will be
too?"
"Are you worried?"
"A little. More so with your dad."
"He'll be cool with it."
"Neither of them have heard Gwen talk yet."
"Don't worry. I told mom that you now had a girl's voice."
"How did she react?"
"She just said, 'Really.'"
"We'll see."
Kate finished dressing, I slipped on my open toed wedge
heels, grabbed my purse, and we headed downstairs. When
Kate's mother saw us, she said, "Don't you girls look nice."
"Thanks mom.", Kate said.
"We'd better get going.", I said, "Remember we're meeting
Anne and Mary in twenty minutes."
Kate's mother just looked at me for a few seconds, then
smiled, and said, "Kate did say you had a voice and it
sounds very nice."
"Thanks mom."
Just then Kate's father walked into where we were and he
just stared at me.
Kate's mother said, "Jim, say something."
"Gary?", Kate's dad said.
"Yes sir?", I said.
"I . . . I just didn't think I'd see you dressed as a girl
again."
"Daddy," Kate said, "you know Gary dresses this way
sometimes."
"Yes, but I thought he'd stopped."
"Mom, we're going to be late, can you explain it to dad?
The album's on the shelf in our closet if you want it."
"Sure honey." Kate's mother said, "Run along and have fun."
As we were closing the door, we heard Kate's dad say, "Viv,
I thought Gary wasn't dressing up as a girl any more. Is he
gay or something?"
Then we heard Kate's mother say, "Jim, he's not gay. Sit
down and I'll get you a drink, then I'll tell you everything
that I know."
As Kate and I got in the car I said, "I think your dad is
upset."
"Honey," Kate said, "don't worry. I think he thought that
your dressing was just a phase and it would stop after we
were married."
"Is he in for a rude awakening."
"He'll be fine. Mom will be able to explain it to him."
"I sure hope so."
Anne and Mary had gone shopping together earlier in the day
and we were meeting them at a local Italian restaurant.
When we pulled up there was a short line out the door, and
Anne and Mary were waiting for us.
As we were walking from the parking area toward the
restaurant, Mary was the first to spot us. She had been
talking to Anne and it looked as if she stopped in mid-
sentence. As she watched us, she touched Anne on the arm
and Anne turned to see what had gotten Mary's attention.
They both just watched us as we walked toward them.
As we walked up, I said, "Sorry we're late."
Anne said, "Ah . . . you're not late and . . . damn Gary
you look good."
"Thanks sis, and it's Gwen."
"Yeah Gwen, and the voice."
Mary said, "I don't believe this. When we did this for the
dance I was surprised that it turned out as well as it did.
But, this is just too much. I bet it takes hours to make
you look this good."
"No.", Kate said, "It only takes her a little while longer
to do her makeup than it takes me to do mine."
"He does his own makeup?"
"Sure I do.", I said, "Kate's a good teacher."
Anne said, "You even makes the clothes look good."
I couldn't help but smile.
As we stood in line waiting for a table or booth, we chatted
like four girlfriends. Once we were seated in a booth and
had ordered, Anne said, "My brother would have ordered a
whole pizza for himself."
"I know he would have," I said, "but tonight I'm your
sister."
"You are. Aren't you?"
"Right now, yes. Do you mind?"
"I was having second thought before I saw you tonight. The
pictures in the album were very nice, but seeing the real
thing, takes the cake. It's hard to believe that there's a
guy under there. Do I mind? . . . No. I just don't
understand why you do it."
"I don't either. The psychologist said that I have a strong
feminine side and he was surprised that I didn't start
dressing when I was younger. I guess I do it because I like
the clothes, the way they feel, the way I look when I'm all
dolled up, and that I can do it."
"We also have fun with it.", Kate added, "Like tonight."
"You really like doing this don't you?", Anne asked Kate.
"Yes," Kate replied, "it's fun having a girlfriend like this
and we enjoy doing it together."
"You know," Mary said, "looking back at that dance in high
school. Gary did put up a real fight in the beginning.
Then from what I saw, and what Kate told me, he started to
relax into the roll. Some of his actions, as well as his
voice, said boy, but there was something that also said that
he was beginning to have fun with it."
"Halloween was fun.", Kate said, "Seeing him look so much
like a sexy high school girl at Ken's party was really
great. When we went to Greg's afterwards, he actually
relaxed."
Anne said, "I may never completely understand this, just
like I don't understand why I'm bisexual, but I can accept
it. Even looking so good as a girl, you're still my
brother, always will be, and I love you."
"Sis," I said, "that's all we ask. To be accepted as who we
are."
>From that point on it was four girlfriends out for an
evening. Nothing more was said about me being a guy looking
like a girl and I was treated like one of the girls. Though
I thought Anne was going to lose it when I walked right into
the lady's room with them as we were leaving the restaurant.
As we were walking back to the cars, Anne said, "I don't
believe you walked into the restroom like that."
"Do you want me to walk into the men's restroom looking like
this?", I asked.
"I guess not. But, it was sure strange walking in there
with my brother."
"Your brother? I thought I was your sister tonight?"
"You are.", Mary said, "After seeing you at dinner, I have
to agree with Kate, when you're Gwen you're all girl."
The concert we were going to was at a large open air
amphitheater with both regular seating and lawn seating. We
took along a blanket and were sitting on the lawn. The
groups playing were some of the better local ones that play
for the 20 something crowd. We spent more time up and
dancing than sitting, as did everyone else.
During intermission, Kate and Mary went to get us all
something to drink. Anne and I sat and talked. Anne said,
"You do make a fun sister."
"Thanks." I said, "It's fun being your sister."
"What do mom and dad really think about this?"
"I think mom is fine with it. She may not understand it,
but she has seen me a couple of times and hasn't gotten
upset. Dad on the other hand I'm not sure about. The
Halloween when Kate and I handed out candy as the twin
witches, he was upset at first but later had fun with it."
"Are you going to tell them?"
"Katie and I have talked about telling our families. That's
why we told the three of you the other night. We had a talk
with her mother right after we came home from school. She
has seen Gwen more than anyone else and is fine with it.
Her dad saw me tonight and I don't think he was happy, but I
think Kate's mom had a talk with him after we left. We'll
see when we get home."
As we were saying goodnight to Mary and Anne. Mary and I
hugged, and she said, "I loved tonight. It was so much fun
being out with three great girlfriends."
"Thanks.", I said, "It was fun being with you guys too."
Anne gave me a hug and said, "You make a wonderful sister;
never change."
"Thanks sis.", I said, "I'm glad you accepted me this way."
"Honey, you accepted me the way I am and it's very easy to
accept you this way. You make a very pretty girl."
I gave her an extra hug and kiss on the cheek.
It was after eleven when we pulled into the driveway at
Kate's house and the lights were still on in the kitchen.
Kate's mother was waiting for us when we walked into the
kitchen and she said, "Hi kids. Did you have a good time?"
"Sure did.", Kate replied, "The concert was really good."
"I'm glad. What did Anne and Mary think of Gwen?"
"They loved her. The whole evening was like four
girlfriends out for a good time. I'm surprised we didn't
get hit on."
"I'm so glad. But, sit down, we need to talk."
Kate and I looked at each other, and Kate asked, "What's
wrong?"
"Sit and I'll tell you."
Katie and I sat at the table, and so did her mother. She
looked at us and said, "Katie, your father doesn't
understand Gary and his dressing like a girl. He's not
upset about it, he just doesn't understand it, doesn't want
to see it, nor know about it."
"What doesn't he understand?", Kate asked.
"Why Gary does it and likes to do it, and why you like it."
"Did you tell him about the psychologist?"
"Yes and it didn't make any difference."
"Did you show him the album?"
"No. I didn't think it would be a good idea right now."
"What should we do?"
"I just wouldn't let him see Gwen. You know I don't have a
problem with it. In fact I think it's cute that he can do
it and that you can have fun with it. Just, don't do it
when he's around."
I just sat there and looked at Kate's mother while she told
us this. I was feeling sad and I guess it showed. Kate's
mother looked at me and said, "Honey, don't be sad. Just
remember, not everyone is going to accept this part of you.
Kate does, I do, your friends at school do, Wendy, Mary, and
Anne do too. There will be people that will ridicule you
because they don't understand. Just realize that we love
you."
This brought a little smile to my face and I said, "Thanks
mom. I guess I can't expect everyone to understand, but at
least some people do. I'm just glad you do."
"You know I do. I actually like having Gwen around."
"Really?"
"Yes. She's fun and seems at ease with who she is. She's
welcome anytime she wants to visit."
Kate looked at me and said, "She is at ease with who she is
and I love her for that. I wouldn't want her, or Gary, any
other way. If dad doesn't understand, it's his loss."
"Gary, as far as I'm concerned, Gwen can visit anytime she
wants to, but just not when Kate's father is home."
"I can live with that.", I said, "I guess I just have to
realize that not everyone will understand and when I find
someone that does, it's special."
"Look at the time!", Kate said, "I've got an early up
tomorrow."
A little while later, as we were cuddling into bed, Kate
said, "Lover, I think my dad still loves you as a son. He
just doesn't understand the other part of you."
"I know.", I said, "I'll just keep Gwen away from him."
Monday, May 26
Today was Memorial Day. I didn't have to work. But, today
was the first day that the lake was open and it was a busy
day, so Kate had to work. I took her to the lake and as we
were saying goodbye, she said, "Bring your swim suit with
you when you pick me up and we can go for a swim."
I smiled as I said, "Can't we go skinny dipping?"
"You're bad. In the pool at home, yes. Here we'd get
arrested. Just be here at four."
I really didn't want to go back to Kate's house. I knew
that her parents were probably just sitting down to
breakfast and I didn't want to see her father right now. I
dove over to my parent's house and let myself in. Everyone
was still asleep.
I made some coffee and I guess the smell of it woke Anne up.
She came into the kitchen in her robe, still half asleep,
and said, "Good morning little sister."
I smiled as I said, "Little sister?"
"After last night, I just can't think of you any other way."
"Kate's father can."
"What do you mean?"
As I poured her a cup of coffee, I told her about Kate's
father. When I was done Anne said, "Just realize that not
everyone understands things that aren't what they perceive
as normal. Think how people feel when they find out that I'm
bi."
"I think I have an idea. I'm just happy that we understand
each other."
"Me too. I'm going to tell mom today."
"Tell her . . . ?"
"That I'm bi."
"How do you think she'll take it?"
"I don't know. But, I want her to know before I go back to
Washington."
"Want me around for support?"
"I think that I can do it. But, I may need to talk to you
and Kate later."
"We're here when you need us. Want to go shopping?"
"Sure. But, why do you want me to go along?"
"Katie hinted that I needed something and I'm a little
nervous to do it by myself."
"Why, what do you need?"
"A swim suit."
"A swim suit? So, what's the big deal?"
"A girl's swim suit."
"Oh."
Just then my mother walked into the kitchen and said, "I
thought I heard voices. Where's Kate?"
"She had to work. I dropped her off and came over here."
"That's right. I forgot the lake opened today. Would you
like some breakfast?"
Two hours later Anne and I were walking into the mall. Anne
asked, "What kind of swim suit are we looking for?"
"I don't know.", I said, "Maybe a one piece or a two piece."
"What, no bikini?"
I just looked at her and she said, "You'd look cute in one."
I just shook my head.
We walked into one of the larger department stores and found
the part of the store that had swim wear. Anne started
picking out various selections and holding them up. There
were some really cute ones, but most showed too much skin on
top and wouldn't cover the breast forms.
We had found two suits that looked good. One was a two
piece and the other a one piece. Then Anne picked out one
more. It was a black one piece, with a halter top that had
a gold and bronze stripe under the breasts. She held it up,
looked at me, looked at the suit, and said, "I love this."
"You think?"
"I do. What size do you wear?"
"I think a twelve."
Anne started looking through the rack, pulled out another
suit, and said, "You going to try it on?"
"Ah.", I said, "I don't think so."
"Why not? You should be sure it fits."
We weren't standing too far from a changing room. I looked
at Anne, looked around, took the suit from her, and walked
into the changing room. A few minutes later I walked back
out of the changing room and Anne was standing there waiting
for me. I handed Anne the suit and said, "Fits like a
glove. There's a lot of stretch to it."
"So, is this the one?"
"It looks great on. So, I'd say yes."
As we were walking to the car Anne said, "You surprised me,
going into the changing room."
"I've done it with Kate.", I said.
"So, it's no big deal?"
"As long as there aren't too many people around."
As we were heading home Anne looked at me and asked, "Are
you going to the lake in that?"
"I thought I'd surprise Kate."
"Do you think you can pass in a swim suit?"
"As long as the top covers my breast forms, yes."
"Won't they fall out of the suit without a bra?"
"Not with them glued on."
"Glued on?"
"Medical adhesive. They almost become part of me. I had
them glued on the other night."
"If you say so. Ah . . . what about hiding what's down
below?"
"I know of a way to hide that."
"I don't think I want to know."
I dropped Anne off at my parent's house and headed to Kate's
house. I knew Kate's parents were at the country club for a
golf tournament, so I had the house to myself.
Once home, I took out everything that I'd need to become
Gwen and went to work transforming myself. Forty-five
minutes later I was looking at Gwen in the mirror. The suit
looked very nice, it covered the breast forms perfectly and
held my male bits in their hiding place. I'd gone light on
the make up, just a little eye makeup and lipstick. My hair
was tied back into a girl's pony tail, and I had replaced my
studs with a pair of cute earrings from Kate's collection.
Of course there was the ever present, at least when I was
Gwen, engagement ring.
The only thing that worried me a little was my waist, it was
a little thicker than what I thought it should be. I had a
figure, but my waist could be thinner.
I didn't want to drive to the lake in just a swim suit, so I
slipped on one of my short jean's-skirts. Then it was into
my sandals. As I was slipping on the sandals, I saw Kate's
pink baseball cap. I picked it up and put it on, but my
pony tail got in the way. Then I remembered seeing girls
wearing ball caps with their pony tails sticking through the
opening in the back of the cap. I pulled my pony tail
through the opening and the cap fit perfectly.
I looked at myself again and really liked what I was seeing.
I put the usual things in my purse, then gathered the things
necessary to bring Gary back before we came home and put
them into a beach bag. I grabbed two beach towels and a
blanket, and headed to the car. On the way to the lake I
worked on finding Gwen's voice.
Then it hit me. I'd been out once before by myself as Gwen,
and that was just walking around campus. Here I am out
again and driving by myself. What if something happened, an
accident, or a flat tire? I almost turned around and went
home. Of course nothing happened. Still, it was a little
scary.
As I pulled into where the lake was, I showed my pass to the
girl working the gate and she waved me on in. The lake was
busy and it took me a little while to find a place to park.
I locked my purse and the beach bag in the trunk of the car.
I knew where Kate was working, so I grabbed the blanket and
two towels, and started walking toward where she was. I
found a spot not too far from the lifeguard's chair she was
sitting on, spread out the blanket, took off my skirt and
sandals, lay down to watch her.
I watched Kate as she kept an eye on everyone in her area.
She blew her whistle a couple of times. She yelled at
people who were doing things that they shouldn't be doing.
She was all business.
Of course there were the boys in twos, threes, and fours
walking around the lake looking at the girls. I got my
share of looks, but I didn't pay any attention to them.
Right at four, I watched as her replacement walked up to the
lifeguard chair and took Kate's place. After Kate had
climbed down off the chair, I saw her look around. I
figured that she was looking for me, so I sat up.
It only took Kate a few seconds to spot me. When she did
her expression changed from one of concentration, to one of
puzzlement, to a big smile. She walked over to where I was
sitting, looked down at me, and said, "Gwen, I'm surprised
to see you and you have a new suit?"
"I just thought that I'd surprise you.", I said, "My other
suits just didn't look right on a female body, so I got a
new one."
"Those other suits of yours sure wouldn't cover much. We
don't allow topless females here. This suit is just so
cute."
Kate sat down next to me and asked, "When did you get the
suit, you little sneak?"
"Anne and I went shopping this morning.", I replied.
"I bet she thought that was interesting?"
"She did, especially when I tried it on."
Kate leaned over and whispered, "I want to kiss you so bad
right now."
"So, do it."
"Not here. I know too many of these people."
"Chicken."
"You just wait until I get you home. But, first I need a
swim."
Kate got up, walked into the lake, and started to swim
toward the deeper part. I was right behind her. It was an
interesting experience swimming in a girl's suit with
attached breast forms. Kate waited for me to catch up, then
we swam together for a few minutes. We stopped at a dock
that was out in the lake and she asked, "What made you do
this?"
"You'd hinted about a swim suit for Gwen, and I just thought
it would be fun to surprise you as Gwen.", I replied.
"A very nice surprise. Why not a two piece?"
"I needed something that covered the forms and this suit
worked the best."
"It is really cute."
"Thanks. I was worried that I didn't have the figure to
wear it."
"No problem lover. It looks very nice on you. You've even
got your male parts hidden."
"In this suit, I'd better have."
We continued to swim for a little longer. Finally we got
out of the lake and lay on the blanket for about half an
hour. As we were lying there I said, "Anne's telling mom
today."
"Telling her what?"
"That she's bi."
"Oh."
"I offered to be with her, but she said she'd rather do it
alone."
"I think I can understand that."
"We may hear from her later."
"I wouldn't be surprised."
We lay there a little longer, then Kate sat up, looked at
me, and asked, "Ah lover?"
"Yes.", I responded.
"How are you going to change back to Gary before we get
home?"
"I know your parents probably won't be back until late, but
just incase I brought everything with me. I just have to
find a place to change."
"Quick thinking."
"Any idea where I can change?"
"Sure. The lifeguard building. It's got a single shower
and changing area."
"That's a little inconvenient for the staff, isn't it?"
"Not really. It only gets used if one of the guards is
going some place after work and needs to change. That
doesn't happen often."
We picked up our things and after stopping at the car, we
headed for the lifeguard's building. The building is nothing
more than a small block building with a small office, some
lockers, and a shower room. There was no one around.
I walked into the shower room to change back to Gary, and
Kate followed me in. Before I could start changing, she
grabbed me and gave me a very deep kiss. Then in a very
sexy voice said, "You in that swim suit turn me on so much.
If I wasn't afraid of someone walking in on us, I'd .. . "
And, she kissed me again.
We broke the kiss and Kate said, "Get changed. I want to
get home before my parents do."
She didn't have to say it twice. I changed back into Gary
as quickly as I could. We were back at the house in no
time, in our room, and . . .
After dinner we heard from Anne. She said that telling mom
went fairly well. There had been some tears and a lot of
hugging.
Sunday, June 15
Kate and I had settled into a routine for the summer. Every
weekday we got up together, had breakfast together, then
she'd drop me off at the park department office on her way
to the lake. In the afternoon, she would pick me up at the
maintenance office on her way home from the lake. We'd have
dinner together, usually with her parents. We'd spend the
evening doing various things, going for walks, to Greg's
Drive-In to hang with friends, to the mall. Then at night
we'd cuddle together in bed. Sounds boring, doesn't it? In
a way it was, but the time with Katie made it all
worthwhile.
Again, as one of my duties at the park, I was given the key
to the rock bluff. Sometimes Kate and I would stop on the
way home to check on it, and other times, it was a picnic on
Saturday or Sunday, usually with a little extracurricular
activity. We actually watched a very spectacular sunset one
evening.
Gwen was around, but not as much as either of us would have
liked. With Kate's mother's help I was able to become Gwen
once in awhile and escape her dad seeing me. Kate and Gwen
would go out, if only for a few hours, as girlfriends.
Today was one of those days. Gwen could be around, even at
home. Kate's dad had to be at one of his clients early on
Monday morning, so he took an early Sunday afternoon flight.
Kate and I even took him to the airport.
When we were back home, it was upstairs and into the hair
removal routine. I still didn't have much body hair or have
to shave every day. But, we both loved the feeling of my
soft, hair free, body. When I came out of the bathroom,
Kate had everything laid out on the bed.
We were going to the park for a walk, then to the mall for
dinner and a movie. So, it was going to be a comfortable
look. Kate had laid out a pair of shorts and a nice print
blouse. These shorts were tight, so I'd have to tuck and
Kate had one of my thongs on the bed. I went through my
transformation to Gwen, the breast forms, thong, and bra. I
spent a little while getting my hair into a nice feminine
style. I was still regularly going to see Kate's
beautician, so my hair was in good condition. My makeup was
a very light daytime look. I did my nails and toe nails in
a very nice pink.
Kate looked great as usual and she gave her seal of approval
to my look. I put everything that I'd need in my purse.
Then it was off for an afternoon and evening as two
girlfriends.
I bet you can guess where the walk in the park took us. No,
not to the rock bluff, but to the water fall. This was our
special place either as Gary and Kate or as Gwen and Kate.
It wouldn't surprise me if everyone seeing us, as either
couple, could figure out that we were lovers.
As we walked back to the car, we took a side path to a
secluded river overlook. While we were standing there, Kate
turned me to look at her, and said, "Lover, being married to
you is just so perfect. I couldn't ask for anything more."
I just looked at her, took her in my arms, and gave her a
long, soft, kiss. Then we just held each other for a long
time.
When we finally got to the mall, we did just what two
girlfriends would do. We went shopping. We were in and out
of many clothing stores. I knew Kate saw many things that
she loved. We were also in and out of a number of shoe
stores. Keeping Kate out of a shoe store was almost
impossible. I knew she saw a number of pairs that she would
love to have.
One store that we didn't go into, but just stood and looked
in the window, was the bridal shop. I took her hand in mine
and whispered, "You'll look so beautiful in one of those."
Katie looked at me, grinned, and whispered, "So will you."
"Me?"
"I think one day we should go together and try on bridal
gowns."
"You're crazy."
"No. I think it would be fun. It would also be a new
experience for Gwen."
"And Katie?"
"Yeah."
We stopped at one of the restaurants in the mall and had a
nice dinner. After we were finished, we stopped in the
restroom and changed our makeup to more of an evening look.
Not a party look, but something more for an evening look.
As we walked from the restaurant to the theater, we got the
usual looks from the guys who were hanging out in the mall.
There were two guys who bothered us a little, as they
started following us.
We bought our tickets for the show and went into the
theater. We noticed the two guys also buy tickets for the
same show we were going to.
We sat in the middle of the theater and the two guys sat two
rows behind us. Kate whispered, "I'll bet that it won't be
long before they're sitting right behind us."
"What are we going to do about them?", I asked.
"We may have to give them the lesbian look."
"Lesbian look?"
Kate turned toward me, took my face in her hands, and gave
me a quick kiss.
"Oh," I whispered, "that lesbian look!"
I carefully put my arm around Kate and pulled her close.
She rested her head on my shoulder. After the lights had
dimmed and the movie started we shared another kiss. Then
Kate whispered, "They're gone."
We settled back and enjoyed the movie. As we walked out of
the theater, we saw the two guys talking to two girls and we
smiled at them. One of the guys smiled at us, the other
just shook his head.
As we walked through the mall I asked Kate, "So, where did
you learn to use the 'lesbian look' to get rid of unwanted
guys?"
Kate said, "Wendy and I used it once."
"You've kissed Wendy?"
"Yeah. We had to make it a long kiss."
"Oh?"
"Well we are kissing cousins."
"I don't know about you."
"I don't know about me either."
Since we both had to go to work tomorrow, we were home
early. We found Kate's mother in the den reading and she
asked, "Did you girls have a good time?"
"We always do mom.", Kate replied.
"It's good to see you enjoying yourselves."
"We're going to bed. We both have to be up early tomorrow."
"Good night kids.", Kate's mother said.
"Good night mom.", Kate and I said together.
We were barely in our room before Katie attacked me. Her
kisses and touches were very soft and sensual. It wasn't
long until we were . . .
Later, Gwen had left and Gary was back, and we were just
laying in bed cuddled together. I was about to doze off
when Kate asked, "Honey, am I bi?"
"Are you bi what?", I asked.
"Bisexual?"
I was completely awake when I said, "I don't think so.
Why?"
"Some things that I've wondered about for a long time."
"Like what?"
"Anne telling us got me to thinking,"
"About what?"
"Things that have happened."
"Like?"
"Like what Gwen does to me."
"What does she do?"
"You haven't noticed?"
"I've noticed, but I want you to tell me."
"I love her. I love being with her. I love doing things
with her. I love going to bed with her. She's a major turn
on for me. . . . That kiss in the theater tonight had me
thinking of how we could make love right then and there.
Having sex with her, you, is amazing."
"Is it because it's really me?"
"I know it's you, but I feel Gwen's femininity. She's just
so . . . so sexy. I just feel special things for her."
"I really think it has a lot to do with what you feel toward
me. Maybe you do have underlying lesbian feelings for a
certain type of girl and Gwen is that type of girl. Then,
when you see me as Gwen it adds to your feelings for me."
"Maybe. You know that kiss I shared with Wendy?"
"Yeah."
"I wonder about that too."
"Why?"
"When we kissed, I made it last longer than it needed to."
"Why?"
"Because it felt good."
"What did Wendy think?"
"She didn't push me away and has never said anything about
it. But, she did return the kiss with as much feeling as it
was given."
"What about Tiff?"
"That was pure stupidity on my part."
"Was she the only girl that you've had sex with?"
"The only one and sex is all that it was. There was no love
there what so ever."
"Was it what you wanted?"
"No. There was a lot missing. What I have with you is so
much more."
"What about Gwen?"
"That's different. I love you and her, and making love with
you when you look like Gwen is fantastic. It's more than
sex. It's a fantastic love making experience."
"Was it like the way you and Tiff did it?"
"God no. She was only in it for herself. She never cared
about her partner. It was more like she was a macho guy.
You spend more time pleasing me than I ever thought
possible. It's like all you care about is how your partner
enjoys the love making."
"Is there a difference between me and Gwen?"
"A little. When you're Gwen, you are very soft and gentle.
You spent a lot of time kissing and caressing. You seem to
know what I really love, where to touch me, where to kiss
me. Gary's gentle too, but it's different. He's more
physical. He does know what I like, but doesn't spend as
much time doing things as Gwen does. Do I love the way they
both make love to me? God yes. I couldn't ask for more.
But, it's like you're two different people. A guy and a
girl. But, when we consummate our love making it's all you
and you make it so wonderful. You're the only guy that I've
ever had, and I couldn't imagine anyone being any better
than we are together."
"Gwen isn't a girl."
"I know. But, I think when you dress as Gwen you change. I
think something, inside you, tells you that you're a girl,
and you become as much of a girl as you can. Anne and Mary
saw it the other day. They saw Gwen as a girl, not a guy
dressed as a girl. Mary told me that she couldn't get over
how feminine you were. It's like you're a different
person."
"What if Gwen didn't exist?"
"I'd still love you with all my heart."
"Would there be a girl in the picture?"
"I . . . I don't know and I don't want to know."
"So, I'm your male lover and Gwen is your lesbian lover?"
"You definitely are the only guy for me. Gwen is all the
girl that I need or want."
"Maybe you are bi."
"I really don't know. All I know for sure is that I love
you more than life itself."
"I love you too Katie. More than you'll ever know. But,
now you've got me thinking. Just how does Kelly fit into
all of this?"
"She's just the disguise that I use sometimes when we go
out."
"I think there's more to it then that."
"Like what?"
"Is she your alter ego?"
"In what way?"
"Maybe your real lesbian alter ego?"
"Oh! Why?"
"You seem different when you're Kelly, more in charge and
sexually aggressive. The sex is more intense, it seems to
last longer and we do more things, all at your urging.
You're also very protective of Gwen when you're Kelly, like
a boyfriend is of his girlfriend, or maybe a girlfriend is
of her girlfriend. Remember the times that Tiff hit on me?
Remember that night at the cabin?"
"Yeah. Am I'm really that way?"
"Yes. When you're Kelly."
"I didn't realize."
"You are."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be. I love it when you're that way, when you're
possessive and get jealous."
"You really like me that way?"
"Sometimes. It adds to our relationship."
"Gwen likes being dominated by Kelly?"
"Not so much dominated, but she likes it when Kelly protects
her, controls the situation, holds her, takes the lead in
the bedroom, and treats her like the girl she is. But, she
also loves what she has with Katie; cuddling together, going
shopping, going out to dinner, for walks, long talks, or
long quiet times."
Kate sat up a little and looked at me, then bent down and
gave me a long, soft, kiss. Then sat back up and said, "So,
I am bi and Gwen is my girl?"
"Gwen is your girl and only your girl. If you are bi, then
I'm very happy it's with me. But, I don't think you are.
You've done it with a girl and didn't like it. I'm not a
girl, but I'm transgendered. I think you have something for
a guy that can be a guy or pass as a girl, who can be a
girlfriend or a boyfriend to you, and make love to you the
way you like as either a guy or a girl."
As Katie laid her head on my chest, she said, "I love you so
much."
Stroking her hair, I said, "I love you too Katie."
End Part II
This ends another year in my life. It was a very
interesting year. I almost lost Kate, but we found each
other again and fell more deeply in love. We got married,
twice. I came out to a few of the people in my life and
most took it well. We found that Anne, my sister, is
bisexual. Kate thought that she might also be bi, but I
think we figured out that she has a thing for guys,
especially me, that can look like a girl and make love like
a girl.
I don't think that I've ever told you what Kate and I are
studying in college. Kate is going to nursing school and
thinking of going on to be either a doctor's assistant or a
nurse practitioner. Me, I'm pre-med. Interesting, me a
doctor and Kate a nurse.
Give me a little time, and if you want I'll tell you more
about our lives and Gwen's part in it.
