Witness Sex Change (WitSex.); By: Allison.
I had always thought being in the witness protection program would be a
fascinating experience, but I had came to that conclusion mostly through
watching TV and mediocre Arnold Schwarzenegger movies. In the real
life, it is much, much different and even more different in my
particular case.
It was about six months ago and I was out and about in quite suburbia
minding my own business, just a regular 26 year-old guy making his way
in the world climbing up the corporate ladder from the mail-room, a
place that the slow economy had kept me in a lot longer than should have
been necessary. It was no big deal, it at least kept me housed, fed and
clothed; I could bide my time and wait until something bigger came my
way.
So I was I made a stop at a gas station-slash-convenience store on the
way into work when my life took an unexpected left turn down a
completely unseen road, normally I did the modern-day man thing and paid
for my gas at the pump, waited for the pump to click off and then head
off on my way. Today was different, as I wanted to go in to grab some
donuts to eat on the drive in; I was weak that day.
So there I was in the back of the convenience store selecting my donuts
when I hear someone else enter the shop and a conversation strike up
between him and the cashier. Neither must have been aware that I was in
the store as the conversation became more and more heated; as my
interest piqued I crouched behind a corner and watched the action from
behind an aisle. There men who entered the shop were fairly well
dressed and it looked as if they were shaking down the clerk pretty
well.
The men kept demanding to know where their "stuff" was and what the
clerk had done with it; the clerk said he was not giving up anything
until he was paid the money he was owed. That is when things took a
dark turn as one of the men pulled out a gun and shot the clerk twice in
the chest, after that the other man ran around the corner to muffle the
clerk's screams and to, I presume, try to goad more information out of
him. Less than a minute pass and the two men ran out of the store, got
into their car and sped off. Presumably, with whatever information they
were seeking. That this crime was going down in front of me was
incredible, I guess they did not see my car parked at the pump on the
other side of the store.
I was trembling as I walked to the counter to check after the clerk who
was clearly dead and beyond helping; I called 911.
The police came, took their pictures and then began asking me many
questions about the two men, I gave the names I had heard and when I
spoke one name in particular: "Gino Parisi" the officer's eyes widened
and insisted that I come with them to the station. Down there I was put
in a relatively comfortable room but had to wait there for a couple of
hours before anyone spoke to me, having never been given the chance to
even call work to let them know why I hadn't shown up, my phone in the
cup-holder of my car.
Finally, with not much more than some water to drink the local police
chief and a man with the FBI came into the room and sat down with me to
lay it on straight. I had just witnessed a murder carried out by the
largest crime-family in the city, a crime family that was notoriously
good at carrying out their hits and other crimes, being careful with not
leaving witnesses and when they did leave some witnesses, those
witnesses were quickly dealt with. The FBI needed me to help them in a
case they were building against the family.
"Sure, anything I can do to help," I said brightly, na?ve to the weight
of what was going on.
"You don't seem to understand. Right now, you are pretty much the only
living witness we have to this crime carried out by this family. Now we
are sure we can link these two soldiers to Gino but nothing solid enough
to take it to court right now. As a matter of fact it could still be
years before we even get these men, or Gino, to a judge."
"I don't understand, I told you these men killed the clerk, why not go
get them now?"
"We're not interested in booking these two stooges for the murder of
some piece-of-crap convenience store clerk in suburbia. We want to use
your information to link these two men to Gino through this murder to
bring this SOB down for the last time. Right now, he is their boss.
The underboss, the capos, even their consigliore are in no position to
run this family. Without Gino the family will be severely compromised,
hell crime rates in the city will probably half overnight when Gino goes
down."
"So... Fine. I go back home and I...."
"No. Not at all. We need to get you into witness protection right
away."
That is when the weight of all of this hit me. Witness Protection. I
was the lone man standing between law enforcement and one of the biggest
crime families in the city. "Okay," taking a big gulp, "So, when what
next?"
"First we build a cover story for your death..."
"My death?!" I shouted at them. "My friends, my family..."
"We're afraid you can never speak to them or see them again, too many
chances of the family drawing connections, you'd only be putting their
lives in danger and this will be better for them. Unfortunately, that
is probably the least of your worries, this crime family has been able
to penetrate all of our previous covers for witnesses and find the
witness before he could testify. We've had to go from the ground up and
completely reconsider how we go about covering things up. The new
identity we give you is going to be a whole new person, someone who
before now has never existed and it's going to be that person, not you,
who was in that store today."
I remained silent. I was trying to take in the weight of everything
that had happened to me this morning.
"Court orders have been filed, the paperwork is done, and the process is
underway to have you killed and your new identity to seem already in the
system, fortunately with as computerized as everything is these days
it's only taken some smart computer skills to get your new persona into
the system. Right now we've already prepared for your "death" by
driving off the road into the river along your route to work."
"You mean... I'm already dead?"
"Yes."
"I don't understand. If they didn't know I was there..."
"The minute we said your name over the radio as witness they were
already probably planning their move against you. They likely already
know what you look like and got someone to stake out your job and your
apartment before we even began talking here," Now, they believe you to
be dead or -more likely- to be going into WitSec. Fortunately for us
your new identity they'll never be able to plan for."
"So what's my new identity?"
The two men looked at each other a bit grimly and slid a manila folder
over to me, I opened it up and there in front of me was my new identity,
a sheet of paper filled with my new personal information and a computer
generated picture of "me."
"A girl?!"
As they had explained earlier, I had no choice in this. Court orders
are signed and sealed to do this to me and this was all going to happen
in the name of bringing down a mob boss. It was incredible the lengths
the government could go to in order to force someone into physical
alterations and into a completely different way of life but in some
cases, it seems, the greater good for society trumps the needs of the
individual.
"It's the one identity they will not expect."
"But, I..."
"Over the course of the next couple of weeks you'll have a series of
operations..."
"Operations?!"
".... Operations to your face to chance its appearance as well as breast
augmentation surgery in order to make your new identity complete; you
needn't worry about your genitalia as we'll leave those mostly alone,
but you will be put on medications to constrain your testosterone levels
and increase your estrogen levels, this will help your body to feminize
itself naturally."
"I will not submit to this. I want to see my lawyer."
"Sir, you're already dead. Any lawyer we give you will be for you new
identity and the lawyer you've been assigned has already agreed to this
and is ensuring your best interests are being represented. None of the
changes we're making will be permanent and will be undone once Gino is
in prison or we have brought him down. But, as I said..."
"That could be years from now," I said grimly.
"Yes. Sir, I know this is a shock to you but, believe us, this is the
only way to prevent these men from finding you. They will not predict
this; it is an identity they will not expect. We will set up a
residence for you in the city and give you the resources you need to
find a job based on your skill level and education. "
"You're not going to give me a job?"
"No, far too many variables and the police getting a job for someone
would be too suspicious. We will, however, augment whatever salary you
get with your job, when you find one, with a salary of our own to ensure
you a reasonable life style; in fact the residence we're planning for
you is in The Gardens area of the city." That caused me to raise an
eyebrow. The Gardens area of downtown was pretty high-middle class
area, better than where I was living now.
Everything continued to be explained to me and eventually I came around
to it, mostly because I accepted I had no other choice and I suppose it
was better than being dead.
With that, I was set-up with a temporary, male identity and taken with
specialists with WitSec to a specialized clinic in Canada, I am
supposing there was some pulling of strings and perhaps some
international cooperation to allow this to happen. It was a "resort
clinic" for transvestites in transition, the clinic told clients it was
temporarily out of service for remodeling and was then admitted as a
lone patient under an assumed male identity transitioning to a female
identity, but not the one I will finally be given. It was convoluted as
hell and I could only imagine that governments and agencies were pulling
some major strings as well as cashing in lots of favors in order to do
this to me.
My private room in the clinic was fairly large and nice, well appointed
and had a good view of a Canadian forest, I was not allowed to use the
phone or the internet, I was allowed to watch all of the TV I wanted and
this place had a killer premium cable package.
My first full day there and they wanted to do my facial reconstruction,
the time table for my complete transition was set to be around six
months, something the doctors told me was pretty much moving heaven and
earth to do but given the "circumstances" of my transition could be
done.
Yeah, they were in on it.
The first series of surgeries was reconstructing my face, I was given a
pointer chin, a smaller nose, and overall a far more rounded face; when
I first looked at myself in the mirror after all of the healing and the
bandages were taken off, I was stunned! They must have used some very
talented surgeons for this work as looking back at me in a mirror was a
very beautiful and feminine face. They had used electrolysis and
eyebrow shaping to form nicely arched eyebrows and had it not been for
my still masculine body and hair, I would be mistaken for a woman. My
cheeks were rounded and, my lips slightly fuller and in even at a
natural rest had a cute, flirty, smile to them, I blinked to ensure it
was really myself and saw my own brown eyes stared back at me, behind
some fuller eyelashes. Eyelashes?! Had they somehow given me feminine
eyelashes?
My eye sockets were reshaped and had a certain brightness and flintiness
to them; certainly, it was a face where just looking at a man would get
him to crush on me. I rolled my eyes a bit at that thought, which by
itself came across as flirty, I couldn't believe this was really me and
this was the life I was being led, nay, FORCED into.
There were some courses of electrolysis treatments to rid me of the hair
on my face, chest, hands and feet; the hair on my arms was thinned and
fortunately the hair on my legs and pubic region were left alone under
the presumption I would shave or trim that as I felt was needed like any
other woman.
Next came the more brutal surgeries that I had never even heard of
before and did not even think were possible. Apparently, these were on
the leading edge of SRS surgery and for other cases where these types of
surgeries would be performed. Well, in Canada, at least, I guess the
medical profession back in the states did not see the profit in them.
The first of these surgeries involved giving my hands to be smaller and
more fitting of that of a woman's. Like most men I had large hands but
they showed little signs of a blue-collar life, I thought they would
work fine but it was insisted to that, I needed to have this done to
better ensure the new identity would take. For the most part I had
mostly resigned myself to what they wanted to do was pretty much going
to be talked into me. So I did it.
I woke up the morning after this surgery practically paralyzed with pain
in my hands; I looked down at them and saw them braced up, each finger
tightly bandaged and separated as if I had broken my hands. Which is
pretty much what they did, once healed my masculine hands with fat man-
fingers were no more, replaced with dainty ones with slender fingers and
some serious work done to give my nails a clean, feminine look.
Surprisingly enough there was very little rehabilitation required as
within a week the dexterity in my hands was pretty much back to 100%,
most of it was just learning to work with the smaller hands.
Similar surgery was done on my feet not long afterwards with pretty much
the same results, waking up to a couple days of intense pain, braces and
bandaging came off, and some simple rehabilitation to adapt to the new
feet. I had looked down at them once and just saw adorable little feet,
I always had a foot fetish with women; mine certainly fit my taste in
feet. Between my feet, face, and hands I began to wonder how reversible
these surgeries really were. Afterwards would I be given surgery to put
my face back to a man's? Was there feet and hand enlargement?
All of this time they had me on hormone treatments, since I was keeping
my testicles I was on both suppressants to my testosterone levels and on
estrogen boosters, both medications I would take for the duration of my
time "undercover" or whatever you want to call it.
"How will I maintain these prescriptions? Won't someone get suspicious
when I show up at the pharmacy once a month getting these two types of
drugs, do the math and realize I'm not a real woman?"
"Don't worry about that, the medications will be mailed to you with
enough to last you six months, you'll get a new shipment every two and
half months you should never be out, at least not long enough to impact
your changes or health," the doctors and agents told me.
As the hormones did their job, I began to notice my body's own changes
happening naturally, mostly fat redistribution to my hips and buttocks
and, of course my breasts, before long two, soft, mounds were on my
chest and my nipples began to swell and become very, very sensitive.
After being in the clinic for about four months and having more
operations than I cared to remember I woke up one morning during a short
period of recovery and looked at myself in the mirror, and I saw a
small-breasted woman. The hormones, diet I was on, and trauma of
surgery had taken its toll on my weight and muscle mass; so between that
and everything else, I pretty much looked like a woman. I swear at some
point they must have done something to make me shorter, I felt at least
an inch or two closer to the ground. I had some nice full hips due to
some surgery and the hormones, a nice and tight, round, ass and some
slender legs; even without a real pair of tits, I was hot. However,
that would all change the next afternoon when I was given my breast
implants.
Breast implants that felt as natural and real as any breast I had ever
touched, which I grant hasn't been many, most of my life I had be a
loner and found women hard to approach and talk to. I had not even
really ever had a serious girlfriend and was still a virgin. Would it
stay that way? Would I ever get to have sex with a woman as a man?
The implants fleshed out my tiny barely B-cup mounds to some nicely
shaped C-cups. They were not ridiculously sized for my body and fit my
shape well, they were the perfect sized, hung naturally and there was no
trace of scars or artificiality, as well they were VERY sensitive.
Wearing a bra was necessary now, I do not know if it was the surgery,
hormones, or what but the simple brushing of my shirt material on them
just felt strange to me. Not uncomfortable, but not quite arousing
either. Something in between, I guess. My nipples also had great
sensitivity. For the most part my transition was done, aside from one
obvious fact I was all woman to anyone else who would look at me.
Nothing about me looked like my old self, nor looked like a man.
My manhood was taken care of with a remarkable gaff designed just for
me. It allowed me to urinate and do other bathroom duties without any
trouble, and it would give me the appearance of a camel toe when dressed
certain ways. Even when nude I would look female as my penis and balls
were well hidden the prosthetics produced the right look. Wearing tight
enough pants and you would see the outline of my "pussy's" lips and
maybe even my "clit," The device's straps and bindings were covered my
skin folds and my pubic hair. I was warned that the only way it would
be visible would be if I completely shaved down there. Somehow I doubt
that'd be a problem for me, no one was going to see me in this state
enough to even see this elaborate thing, let alone appreciate seeing my
nethers shaved. It was surprisingly comfortable to wear, actually, and
the hormones I had cut off my testosterone so much that I had not had a
real, good, solid erection for quite some time and would only get mildly
stiff and my balls had shrunk a bit. In short everything was more open
to being moved and pushed around without any discomfort when moving,
sitting, crossing my legs or using the bathroom.
I looked at myself nude in the mirror my last night there, the gaffe was
on, my legs were waxed and I had even allowed the female staff there to
help me to shave and trim my pubic hair to a nice triangular patch of
it. Standing before me in the mirror essentially was a woman. Nothing
in the mirror said otherwise.
I made various poses in the mirror looking at myself from various angles
and struggled to find one that showed of my manhood and I could not do
it, the gaffe did a good job of hiding it and giving me a female look
and, somehow, not all of this bothered me. Maybe I had gotten used to
this idea, the hormones had tempered me, but overall this person in the
mirror was interesting to me. At the same time, I thought, "Reversible,
my well-shaped ass."
Do not get me wrong, I was still scared to death and wanted very little
do with living as a woman in any capacity but I was a bit less scared
about doing this now and thought it would work. I certainly did not
look like the man I was or the person the mob was likely looking for. I
sighed, slipped on a long nightgown and settled in to bed, cuddling up
to a pillow, my breasts pushed into it, the moonlight glistening off my
bountiful cleavage from the bay window in front of me.
The following morning I woke up, today I would be moving into my new
apartment in The Gardens and three days from now, Monday, would begin my
search for a job. The apartment I was to live in was already selected
and set-up for the most part by an agent who helped settle people into
their new identities. This agent, Heather, would live with me for the
next few months to help me transition into the new life, pose, and act
better as a female, with all of the surgeries little time was taken for
"training."
I swung my legs over the bed and looked down at my hairless, slim legs,
leading down to my dainty feet that had been perfectly manicured with a
pink toenail polish. The exercises I had been on to fit my body and to
help adjust to my new smaller feet had done my legs well. I walked over
to the full-body mirror in the room and looked at myself. My legs
traced up my body to my nicely rounded hips, trim body -not too skinny,
not too fat, and then to my lovely b-cup breasts, finally there was my
feminine face framed by my shoulder length auburn hair with a serious
case of bed-head.
The weak morning-wood in my gaffe and panties was weak but it was there,
I certainly did not feel much sexual drive lately, but again a look in
the mirror showed a sexy woman with every line and curve she should have
something that would drive a man wild. I shuddered at that thought that
was going to be my toughest hurdle to overcome, to get used to the idea
that I was now a sex object.
We all know the cliches but we all know also know they are true.
Walking down the street in even pajama pants and a t-shirt, I would turn
some heads from my ass, to my tits, to my face. To everything about me.
Give me manhood any day over that crap.
My walk and mannerisms were still very much masculine as I had not
worked much with my trainer yet given the truncated time schedule with
my surgeries. I suppose that's why she's going to be living with me for
next few months in order to "train" me, after that she drops off the
lease and I'm on my own.; a twenty-something single woman making her way
in the big city. The government would mostly be staying out of my way
while they build this case against the mob while my job was mostly to
live my new life and wait for the phone to ring. After that, who knows?
Would I keep living my new life? Would I go back to trying to live my
third life as a very feminine looking man? What does my future hold? I
had always wanted to settle down, have kids, a wife, and a normal life.
However, my hunger for a donut one morning did me in. James Howard was
no more, dead and buried for almost three months now, in his place the
name I picked for myself, hell the only selection I got, Melanie
Collins.
Heather picked me up at the clinic and we were now waiting to go through
the TSA checkpoint at the international terminal of the airport, it was
a blistering hot, humid, summer day so after some urging from my
companion I agreed to wear the type of clothes that'd be most
comfortable in this situation. Originally, I wanted to wear just
sweatpants and a sweatshirt but I was told death by heat exhaustion
would not do me any favors.
So here, I was standing in the airport in front of countless people,
wearing a pair of black mid-thigh yoga shorts, a black tank-top with
pink trim a nice pair of sandals; very little makeup and I simply
brushed my hair out neat. Heather insisted on such a skimpy outfit
revealing and displaying my body to get used to the idea of drawing eyes
to me. I was a bundle of nerves waiting in line to go through the
scanner, having nothing with me but a simple small purse.
"So," Heather smiled over at me. "How do you feel?"
A tightness in my stomach and I said, "On display."
Heather brushed back her blonde tresses, looking every bit of the
vacationing college-girl look I had, though maybe a but more clad,
"Better get used to it, hotties like us attract attention," she flashed
me a smile as if we'd been girlfriends forever and hadn't just met about
an hour ago.
I shifted uncomfortably, my arms crossed trying to look as nonchalant as
possible, "See, you're standing all wrong," Heater said. "You're
standing with too much tightness in your shoulders. You're not a line-
backer preparing for the snap you're a young woman on holiday, let down
your tension."
I tried to do it a bit, but still felt nervous.
"That's a bit better, now remember to walk how said, small steps let
your arms sort-of gracefully swing, and try and step one foot in front
of the other to give that booty of yours some swing."
I tensed up some when she mentioned my booty. "You realize I've no
interest in drawing attention to my ass, right?"
"Perhaps, but it's still the best way to walk to look as female as
possible."
Gritted teeth. "Okay, I'll try."
I was up next in the security line, I handed over my ticket and passport
by practically thrusting it into the his out-stretched hand, he gave
them both a look over, looked me over, then turned to the CB thing on
his shoulder and spoke softly into it.
I swallowed hard thinking the gig was already up, when he spoke: "Ma'am,
you've been randomly selected for a secondary screening process. I need
you to step over here so another agent can pat you down for weapons."
I had not quite yet perfected my voice; thankfully, I had a small enough
Adam's apple so I did not need a tracheal shaving but there still was a
bit of "maleness" in my natural voice. Right now, I sounded almost
female. "Secondary screening?" I said indignantly with a raised
eyebrow.
"Yes, our system randomly selects passengers for a pat-down to ensure
the safety of our passengers, you're the latest selection."
I raised my voice a bit and threw out my arms to say "take a look" to
the agent, "Where would I hide something in this outfit?!"
The agent gulped a bit. "Ma'am, if you decline the screening you are
welcome to stay here and find another means to get home but if you are
flying with us today you need to get the pat down."
Heather finally piped in and said, "Mel, just do it, I want to get
home."
"Fine," I said with a huff.
The agent directed me to the area where the secondary screenings were
and I stormed over there inside of a semi-private shroud. "Okay, ma'am,
raise your arms, separate your feet and just try and to relax," one of
the men doing the screening said.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa; I thought female passengers get a female agent."
I could see the smirk on the man's face forming, "Well, we're short-
staffed today so it's either me or you can take the bus."
Ugh, this was ridiculous, so I just rolled by eyes and made the
Michelangelo-man pose and let the guy do his damn job. I had gone
through the secondary-screening process before in the past when the
heavier security procedures at TSA started and I was taking a "stand"
against being exposed to the X-Rays of the scanner so I had had some
experience with how the screenings went. This was not it. Not by a
long shot.
The man gently brushed his hands across my shoulders and arms then
traced the form of my torso, lightly grabbed by tits and lifted them up,
I swear he gave me a bit of a nipple pinch/twist as the thumbs and index
fingers pulled from my breasts towards by back with his hands. In fact
know he did it as for a moment it seemed like electricity had just shot
from my breasts into the core of my loins and I felt a deep warmness
inside of my body, though restrained by the elaborate gaff and binders I
swear I stiffened a bit in my manhood.
From my breasts, his hands went down my torso and he pushed his hands
around my stomach, the small of my back, and traced down my hips. All
this time he was standing behind me. Soon my breathing got deeper as he
moved from my waist over my butt, then he simultaneously traced down my
thighs and walked over in front of me. At this point, slightly
crouched, he moved his hands up the inside of my legs and it was at this
point it dawned on me he had been doing all of this with his bare palms.
It had always been my understanding TSA agents had to do this with the
backs of their hands while gloved.
Now I grew nervous, as I knew what was coming next and I was not
entirely confident that the gaffe and cosmetic appliance gave a
realistic female look and feel. Sure, in the shorts I had on, I looked
like a normal female and even traces of my "camel toe" may be visible.
Hell, if I were nude it would look like any other woman the gaffe
blended in very nicely with my skin and did not hinder any bathroom
needs, it felt very natural and looked realistic. Nevertheless, looking
like a lovely mound of paradise is completely different from feeling
like one.
His hands reached my mound and he lightly traced up flattening his palms
as he got higher up by front, mostly staying on my thighs but his thumbs
certainly caressed what would be my labial opening and he managed to put
enough pressure there to cause a stir in my restrained cock.
I was breathing deeply now, I was rock hard and sexually pent up. The
handsome young blonde man looked me in the eyes and said, "Looks like
you're clean, ma'am. Feel free to go."
I was shocked and stunned as he spoke, he had managed to get me so
aroused by touching nearly every part of my body, having new sensations
with softer and more sensitive skin, with the easier arousal in my
nipples; I was in an utter fog. By the time he said "go" I felt some
of that tension release within me. Something incredible had just
happened and it was something I did not think was possible. I had just
came without any direct stimulation.
"Ma'am?" He asked.
"Wha... What?"
"You can go now, you're clean," he said with a bit of a wink and a
smirk.
"Oh... um... Yeah," I said softly, somehow finally landing on my female
voice, a perfect pitch of flintiness, softness and femininity. The type
of a voice a man would hear and instantly fall in love with, wanting to
hear as often as possible.
"Oh, um," I stammered. "Thank you."
"Any time," he said with a wink.
I walked out of shrouded area and gave a slight look over my shoulder
back at the man; I saw him and the TSA agent from the gate sort of
shaking hands and laughing with one another.
"Are you okay?" Heather asked me.
"What?" I said starting to come out of it.
"You seem dazed out, are you calmed down now about the screening?"
"Oh, um. Yeah. I just need to get to my seat and get some food in me."
I started to walk off towards the jet-ramp.
"Looks to me like you need a cigarette," she said wryly.
"What?!" I shot back.
"Nothing, at least you've got the voice down, it seems, and you're walk
is a lot better now."
I did not even dignify her with a response and just starting walking
towards the jet-ramp, but I really began to wonder what had just
happened to me, what it all meant, and where I was going from here.
In the air we sat silently for most of the time when Heather leaned over
to me, I was in the aisle seat with my legs crossed and looking down at
my feet, bored. I was entertaining my self mostly by flipping my shoe
on and off with my toes, Heather looked to me and said, "Do you want to
talk about it?"
I flatly told her I did not.
It was an unusual experience to be sure and I was coping with the
thoughts of what happened. I was not exactly sure how to cope with it
but I began mostly to write it off as just being a combination of pent-
up sexual energy over the last few months, dealing with the hormonal
changes in my body as well as the new sensitivities it had. After being
out of that situation and able to think it all over I was shocked and
mad at myself for allowing a man, of all things, to get me so aroused
and to have release. I had no attraction to men at all, that much was
certain.
I looked around the plane at the people on it, at the flight attendants,
no interest in the men, none whatsoever. Saw plenty of cute women
around, many with whom I would love to have a chance. Not in my current
state, of course, though I guess that had a certain appeal too.
Hmmm... was I lesbian?
The rest of the plane ride and trip to the apartment building in The
Gardens was mostly uneventful; Heather began chatting with me in the
privacy of the car starting to tell me everything she felt I needed to
know to pass for being a female.
"Why do I need to know this stuff? Even with the mob looking for me
they are not going to expect I got 90% of a sex-change and then started
living it up in snooty-ville. What are they going to see me walking a
little funny and instantly know who I am?"
Heather looked over at me and gave me a bit of a stare that seemed to
say, "Don't play with me on this." "Regardless, the more you fit in and
present this personality the better it will work and the easier it'll be
for you to live this way for the next ten years..." She trailed off as
she said that and bit her lower lip.
I dropped my mouth and looked back at her, "Ten years?! Wait, wait,
wait. No one said this whole thing would take the next decade of my
life! I can't live as a woman for ten years!"
Heather sighed deeply, looked over and said bluntly, "Look. These types
of RICO cases against large mob organizations take a long time to
construct and prosecute. The mob, especially Parisi has gotten very,
very good at stalling the judicial process and stretching out even the
most serious of charges over years by tying them up in court and getting
continuances. It could be ten years it could be six months, look we're
at the apartment, forget I said anything."
I was fuming inside, I had no idea what I had gotten into and it was far
too late to do anything about it.
The apartment was a very nice place; I lived on the second floor of a 5-
story walkup in a spacious two-bedroom apartment, the kind of place
city-dwellers salivate over to get on a sublet when a tenant dies or
moves.
The hallway leading to my front door was narrow, only enough room for
maybe two people, and I was awkwardly trying to move my bulky suitcase
to the door. Having less muscle made this a bit difficult, I was just
at my front door when the across-the-hall neighbor's door opened and out
stepped a good looking man probably about my age; we almost bumped into
one another.
"Oh, excuse me." He blushed as he noticed me, flashing me his perfectly
white teeth with a smile. Strong jaw line, clean-cut look, he must've
been going to work out as he was wearing a long tank-top and knee-length
running shorts. "You just moving in here?" he asked, again flashing a
dashing smile.
"Oh, um, yeah," I said. I was in no mood to be hit on.
"Well, here, let me help you with that!" he said eagerly.
Before I could really respond he had grabbed the suitcase out of my
hands and carried it inside, guiding me into my own damn apartment with
his hand on the small of my back. He looked around the fully furnished
apartment, and nodded his head in approval. "Well, looks like you're
pretty much moved in. Thought I heard some moving going on this week!
So you here by yourself or..."
"Well, I..." I stammered.
"Nope! I'm living here too!" Heather chirped, coming out from her
bedroom.
"Great!" he exclaimed. "It'll be nice having some lovely young ladies
living so close to me for a change!"
I rolled my eyes; tone it down, dude.
Heather giggled. "Well, I'm just living here for a couple of months to
help Mel, here, settle into the city. After that she'll be all on her
own!"
"Oh!" he said, again maybe a bit too enthusiastically. "So you're new
to the city I take it?"
"Well, I...."
"Yep! Brand new. She used to live out in suburbia but finally she got
the opportunity she's been looking for to live the big life."
"Well, I look forward to see you gals, later. I have to meet with my
trainer, so I have to go. My name's Curtis, by the way."
"Nice to meet you, Curtis. I'm Heather and that there is Melanie, but I
just call her Mel."
I smiled and nodded a bit, obviously not really a part of this
conversation.
"Melanie, I really love that name!" he said, I swear every time he
looked at me he just had to flash me a smile. "Well, see you ladies
later! Maybe tonight we can get together for some drinks or something?"
"Perfect!" Heather chirped.
"Great! Well, I'll stop-by this evening then!" and with that he jogged
out the door, and out of my life, for now.
I plopped down on the couch with a heavy sigh and just wanted to bask in
the A/C for a while and enjoy a comfortable seat and take a load off.
"Well, he seemed, nice!" Heather said, getting us some water from the
fridge.
"Yeah, whatever."
Heather sighed. "See! That's why I wouldn't let you talk, you're losing
your voice again. Man, do I need to get a TSA guy to molest you some
more to get it back?!"
I shot her a dirty look.
"Sorry, too far."
There was pretty much nothing to do in the apartment, Heather and her
crew had done a good job of setting things up nicely, only thing I
needed to do was unpack the clothes I had from the clinic. Simple
clothes, shirts, shorts, skirts, whatever. Heather had taken some of my
base sizes and provided me with a slightly wider wardrobe in the
apartment but we were supposed to go out tomorrow to shop for more
clothes, requiring me to be there. Fun. For now, more work from
Heather on voice, walking, sitting, posture and all sorts of nonsense.
"Look," she said, "you need to make sure when you walk you mostly put
one foot right in front of the other. This will give you a nice,
graceful, walk and a bit of a swing to you butt. Also, make sure you're
taking short steps, when you're putting one foot in front of the other I
want no more than half a foot-length between the toes of one foot and
the heel of the other."
Ugh. I hated this. I walked fast and took long strides; I got to where
I was going as soon as I could.
"That doesn't matter anymore. You need to look somewhat graceful and
like you have some semblance of interest in your surroundings, not
charging to a wall or something."
It took some concentration, some fighting, and my unstable emotions
mostly going out of control but finally after a couple of hours I think
I finally got my walk perfected. "Good, not 'I just had TSA sex good,'
but good."
I really wondered about this woman, and why she kept bringing this up,
something that was obviously troubling to me, she must have noticed the
expression on my face, as she spoke up again. "Look. Sorry I keep
bringing that up, I'm just trying to tease you a little bit to get you
to forget about it. If you want to talk seriously about it you can."
"No, no you're right," I said. "But there's nothing to talk about,
really. The guy was a little inappropriate, perhaps, but I guess he
didn't do anything too bad. Uncalled for and unprofessional, but I'm
making too much of it. To move on I really should be cracking wise
about it more. It was just a... odd experience for me."
"You've got emotions and hormones you're not used to, sweetie, you're
entitled to some mood swings and some reactions you would not normally
have."
She gave me a slight hug, and said we should go get a late lunch as we
were both hungry; but first I needed to change.
I looked through my modest wardrobe and selected a simple pair of jeans
and a white baby-doll tee; I slipped my bare feet into some white ballet
flats and just did my hair up in a clip. If we were just going to a
caf? then I did not need to look fabulous. A look in the mirror showed
I still looked hot, though. The jeans rode low on my hips, hugged every
curve of my ass and legs and combined with the t-shirt showed off my
navel. It seemed like it was impossible for me to not look hot.
Whatever.
Living in The Gardens meant you pretty much walked everywhere;
literally, anything you could ever need was at the very most a half mile
away from everywhere else, maybe a mile at the most. Walking down the
street, I concentrated on everything Heather had taught me regarding how
to walk "right" and I seemed to be doing well at it, after a few blocks
I no longer had to concentrate.
I noticed a lot of the men who walked by us would swing around and look
at me as I passed, look at me from across the street and I swear some
idiot almost sideswiped a parked car, there may have also been a car
honk or two.
The t-shirt had a low-cut neck hole so a bit of my cleavage showed and
it hugged every curve my nice bosom had to show off. In comparison
Heather was, well, in all respect to her was average looking. She was
good-looking, sure, blonde hair that flowed down to mid-back, pretty
face, but she had skinny legs, no breasts and no ass. Not entirely, my
type but, as I used to say, I wouldn't kick her out of bed either.
No, compared to my curvy body she did not compare much to me in the
looks department. She was dressed in a flinty sundress and wearing
heels in all honesty a bit more femininely dressed and calling for more
male attention as she had some more skin showing, but I guess I was
wearing clothes that hugged all of my curves.
Finally at the caf? we quickly got good seats outside in the patio area
and our menus. "Let me know if I can help you ladies with anything,"
said the waiter with a flirtatious grin.
Was I this obvious when talking to women?
Heather had told me that I should feel free to order anything I want but
to keep in mind to try order "daintily", smaller sizes and not be so
aggressive when I ate. I just went with simple grilled chicken pasta
with a light pesto sauce, and an iced tea. She got a friggin salad,
with a little bit of olive oil, and a glass of water.
I took small bites and decided I didn't want to chat much with Heather,
mostly out of fatigue and some annoyance.
"How are you ladies doing today?" I heard suddenly.
I looked up from my food and saw some beefy guy grab a chair and he sat
down in it backwards at our table; he grinned at us like a giant
douchebag and acted as if he was doing us a favor just by talking to us.
I simply rolled my eyes, ignored him, and went back to my food. Heather
started chatting him up, talking about "herself" -really her cover
story- and all of that but the guy didn't seem interested in what she
had to say and finally gave me a light slap on the arm with the back of
his hand and said, "So what's your story?"
I was done eating at this point and just sighed while sipping my tea.
"Me? Oh, I'm a bitch."
Heather turned to me and I saw her jaw drop.
The guy was a bit non-pulsed at just smiled. "Wow, I like a woman who's
so frank and to the point!"
"Whatever."
"Well, hey, ladies. I've got to book but I think it's been great seeing
you two so why don't you meet up with me tonight at this club." He
handed out a flyer.
"Real fun place, great live bands, awesome drinks, good times."
Heather was receptive to him and the invitation and said we would try
and to make it. I just kept with my tea. "As for you," he said in my
direction. "I'll wear you down, no one can resist me!" he said that
while doing that douchey thing some where they point and click their
tongue.
"The Firehouse," Heather said reading from the flyer. "I've heard of
this place. Supposed to be pretty hip."
"Not interested," I just said.
"Well, we've got to see Curtis anyway tonight."
"Right," I said. "Him."
Heather just sort of waved my short responses away, we left the caf? and
went back home, I just plopped down on the couch, laid down and decided
to take a nap, I was exhausted; she must have noticed my exhaustion as
she didn't say a word to me and just let me sleep.
I woke up probably an hour or two later to someone knocking on the door,
Heather did not appear to be home so I got up and answered it only to
see Curtis there dressed up nicely.
"Hey, what's up?!" he said. "Hey, I just thought I'd come over and see
if you still wanted to do something tonight."
I thought about it for a moment and almost wanted to turn the guy down
but then I realized he had invested a lot of into me emotionally and I
really did not want to let him down, after all he seemed nice enough.
"Sure, why not," I said with a bit of a smile.
"Great! Well the place I want to go to doesn't really get going until
9:00 so you want to hang out for a while before we leave?"
It was about five in the evening, so I guess leaving now would be too
soon and I was not ready to eat again.
"Oh... Sure. Um, why don't you come in?"
He did so and I invited him to sit on the couch, offered him a glass of
water, got one for myself and sat down on the couch as well.
The far side of the couch.
"So where's your roommate.... Heather?" he asked.
"I've got no idea, I woke up from my nap and she appeared to be gone."
"Well, I hope she gets back."
We sat silently on the couch for a moment just sipping at our water.
"So what do you do?" he finally asked.
"Oh, me? Ummm... Well I'm mostly an office manager."
"Where at?"
"Well, I don't really have a job yet..."
"Oh, I thought you moved here because of a big job you had?"
"Well... yeah. I just... Well, I can easily get one with the experience I
have and I've got lots of money in savings so I thought it was time to
move up."
"I see," he said.
There was another moment or two of awkward silence.
"What do you do?" I finally asked.
"Well, I'm in business, too. Hey, I can probably get you a job in my
office; we could use a good office manager!"
"Okay!" I said actually a bit too brightly.
He smiled.
Finally, Heather came in the door with an armload of groceries, "Hey!
Look who is awake!" she cheered.
"Yeah. Curtis came over you still interested in going out with him
tonight?"
"You bet!"
Where did this woman find all of her energy?
"Well, I've got the perfect place, then," Curtis said, clasping his
hands together, "Great club I go to all of the time, it's called "The
Firehouse."
This was going to be an interesting evening, probably for all of us.
To his credit, Curtis was right, it was a nice club; located on the
nearby club street. This was obviously the club to be at; it had a line
that stretched around the corner. We would be standing there for an hour
waiting to get in.
Heather was wearing a tight, but simple, black dress showing off what
little curves her reedy body had to offer and as I had no real extensive
wardrobe, yet I was simply in a black skirt, white halter-top and
accessorized with black hose and just some black "dressy" shoes with a
low heel. I was in no mood to try being in high-heels all night long,
my hair was still pretty simple as I was still working on growing it out
and there was not a whole lot I could do with it at this point.
Walking down the street Curtis insisted we each took one of his arms, it
was awkward to see my thin, dainty, arm slip in between his much more
muscular one, my pretty, manicured nails painted a deep shade of red
wrapped around him. It was not exactly a comfortable experience for me.
"I didn't know there was going to be such a wait, maybe we should..." I
began to say, Curtis interrupted me and flashed a smile,
"Don't worry about it, hon."
Instead of heading for the front entrance Curtis lead us down the alley
and then knocked on a rear door. It opened and someone who was
obviously a cook gave Curtis a warm greeting including that "bro
handshake" that some guys do and invited us on in. We took a quick trip
through the kitchen and then out into the club proper.
The music was loud but not so loud that it could overpower a
conversation you were having and it was actually pretty good music,
"Right now the DJ's just playing something, they'll have live cover
bands playing on and off over the course of night," Curtis yelled over
the noise into my ear. I just smiled and nodded.
I guess living in suburbia played a large part of it but I had never
really been to a club like this before, more often that not it was me
and work buddies at TGI Fridays watching whatever game happened to be on
that night. Dozens of young pretty people were all over the place
dancing, having a good time; tables were full of more young pretty
people enjoying drinks and whatever dinner and food selections this
place offered. It was actually pretty lively and hip.
"Oh! I think I see a friend!" chirped Heather and she quickly broke
contact with Curtis and ran off into the crowd. Curtis smiled back at
me and sort of gave me a "What's with her?" look and shrugged.
"I have a table reserved for us over here," he said with a point
beginning to lead me by the small of my back to the seating area,
something about him touching the small of my back gave me a thrill.
Indeed, he had a table reserved for him, a large one considering our
small party; I began to get nervous and asked if we were expecting more
people.
"Nah, it's my usual table. Sometimes I come here with lots of friends we
like to have space for ourselves or whomever we might meet or bring."
"I see."
The waitress or whatever she's called approached quickly and Curtis
quickly ordered himself a bourbon, "and for you, sweetie?" she asked me.
"Oh... um. I'm not sure..." I said sort of trailing off.
"Bring her a margarita," Curtis spoke for me.
The waitress nodded and went off to fetch our drinks. I sat there
awkwardly with Curtis for a while, not sure what to say or do. I was
nervous in this situation, I felt all eyes on the room on me, even
though there was plenty of other women to gawk at, I did not know how to
handle being here; it was a lot to take on my first evening out in the
real world as a woman.
"Did you want to dance?" Curtis asked.
"I... I dunno. I'm not very good at it," I stammered.
"Oh, you'll get the hang of it, just have fun!"
He got up, took me by the arm, led me out into the dance floor, and
began doing some kind of dance, something similar to what the other men
in the room seemed to be doing. There was a great tightness in my
stomach as I tried to relax; just let the music work into me and I tried
to emulate what the girls seemed to be doing.
"There you go! You got it!" Curtis encouraged, probably just trying to
be nice.
The night ticked on, with nary a sign of Heather in the crowd. As
probably a result of drink, I began to loosen up with each trip to the
dance floor. When we were not out there, we were back at the table for
drinks and more conversation. I mostly let him talk about himself and
his family; I had to insist that Curtis was not monopolizing the
conversation. Between drink and the noise of the club I did not want to
dive into "mine."
I was sitting there just listening to him when suddenly a loud,
obnoxious, voice boasted out from behind me.
"Hey! You made it!"
I turned around and there I saw Heather and the guy from the caf?
earlier this afternoon.
"I didn't see you outside, when did you get here?"
I had just slightly opened my mouth when Curtis all but extended the
hair on his body to make him look more threatening, and thus protective
of his "mate", and spoke up, "She's with me, and I've got... connections."
Caf? guy took his turn to show his hand and said, "Well, isn't that
something else?" he puffed up his chest, he was obviously a bit more
built than Curtis, "Well, are you having a good time?" Meekly, I said
yes.
Curtis turned to me, "Let's go back out to the dance floor, huh?"
I couldn't think of a better idea so I eagerly got up and told him let's
go.
I looked back at our table and saw Beefy Guy sit down and soon heather
came over and sat with him, it looked as if she was talking his ear off
but he kept his eyes steadily on Curtis and me.
"So who's he?" Curtis asked with an ounce or two of defense in his
voice.
"Ugh, just some guy who inserted himself into my life this afternoon
when I was out at lunch."
"Oh..." he said, obviously hurt by something, I quickly realized what it
was.
"Oh, it's okay. I did not mind it when you talked to me this morning; at
least you are a neighbor and offered to help me move. This guy was just
trying to pick me up."
Curtis smiled again and looked at me. "Well, I'm glad I got to you
first, I guess."
It was then that a slow song started, I had been avoiding these all
night but had no chance right now, "Finally!" Curtis said with a smile.
He came in closer to me, put his arm around my waist and pulled me into
him, and the slipped his other hand behind me, I awkwardly put my own
arms around him.
"You want to lead?" he asked me with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh, sorry," I said, moving my arms to embrace him around the neck.
I looked into his eyes and saw him slightly smile as we moved our bodies
together in rhythm with the music. My head was still spinning and
foggy, call it alcohol, call it hormones, call it the lack of sleep, bit
right now it felt like we were the only two people who mattered.
The warmth of his body radiated towards me and he pulled me in closer, I
began to feel the beat of his heart through my own bosom which echoed
through my body, gradually I felt his hands lower slightly and caress my
bottom., somehow it didn't matter to me that this was happening. I
could even feel his building erection grinding into me. Either time was
slowing down or this was a long song, it felt like we were out there for
hours.
We were as in sync as the moon, the earth and the tides as we glided on
the dance floor to the mellow song, I had to even give in a little and
rested my head on his shoulder, closed my eyes and even began to drift
into a bit of blissful sleep.
Finally, reality all came rushing back as the song ended and something
much more upbeat and fast paced began, still in embrace Curtis finally
nudged me awake with his shoulders; I looked up, he let out a light
laugh and smile, "Song's over, babe."
"Oh, yeah," I said.
"Come on, let's go sit down. I'll protect you from Captain America over
there."
We sat back at the table where we were sitting, Bulky Guy was sitting
there drinking a beer. "Hey, guys," he said with perhaps a bit too much
smugness. "beautiful I got you another drink, on me," he said. I just
nodded at him and took the drink.
"Where's Heather?" Curtis asked.
"Oh, she went to the ladies room or something. Who knows? Sweetheart
you dance good out there, how about giving the next one to me?"
I just stammered a bit unsure of what to really say, the alcohol tonight
had really gone to my head.
"It's okay," Curtis said, "give the guy one dance."
"Okay, fine," I finally came out with, "one dance is all you get."
"It's all I'll need, babe."
Heather finally returned and greeted all of us with a chirpy "How you
doing?!"
She had obviously had a lot to drink. Nevertheless, maybe I had too. I
wasn't sure anymore.
Curtis asked her for the next dance, since I was going with Bulky Guy.
I felt a bit jealous.
"Oh, sure!" she said.
I finished my drink.
Bulky guy pulled me out to the dance floor and we began dancing. It was
a bit of a slow number and he was not by any chance letting me get away
with dancing anywhere but right up to and close to him. My mind was
filling with a fog so it was just all sort of happening, and I seemed to
be letting it. I laid my head on his shoulder and began feeling his
hands probing my body, his left hand grasping my ass and his other hand
cradling my breast, he began rubbing it slightly and I could feel my
nipples getting erect.
Somehow I did not care, in my foggy mind I watched as his head leaned
into mine, his mouth touched mine, and he began probing my mouth with
this tongue.... I was powerless to stop it. Inside my foggy mind was
crying for this to stop, to end this, but somehow those emotions were
not working their way out of my body.
I swear someone was pounding on my head with a giant mallet, I tried
opening my eyes but the bright sunlight of the outdoors blinded me
instantly so I strained to keep them closed. What had happened?
My awareness was slowly coming back to me through a fog of a pounding
headache and nearly every inch of my body aching. When the previous
night's events came rushing back I sat bolt upright to see where I was,
making myself dizzy in the process. As my eyes adjusted to light, I
noticed I was back in my own apartment, still in the clothes I was
wearing lastnight. I was on the couch in my living room, sitting on the
floor next to me was a small wastebasket filled with vomit.
"What the hell?!" I wondered aloud. My voice was a bit hoarse.
"Hey, you're up!" Heather's voice called from the kitchen.
"What... What happened?" I asked.
"Here, babe, I got you a cup of coffee," she sat down a cup of black in
front of me, not how I normally took my coffee but the way I was feeling
right now it'd do just fine. Heather explained to me that last night,
apparently, the Bulky Guy slipped me a date-rape drug and he just about
gotten me out of the club when she and Curtis noticed and then came to
my rescue.
I shuddered to think what would have happened had he gotten me home.
"You've got to be more careful about just taking drinks from guys, you
never know what they have in mind."
I groaned a bit and just simply said, "Thanks for the tip. Don't worry;
I don't think I'll be doing much more clubbing."
"Anyway, Curtis gave him a good talking to; Curtis is a great dancer by
the way, I can see why you'd have such stars in your eyes when you were
out there with him."
What was she implying? Was she trying to say I was enjoying my dance out
there with Curtis? That I had some kind of crush on him?
"What? No way, these stupid hormones I'm on are probably messing me all
up."
"Uh-uh, babe. I don't think hormones work like that."
Whatever, it wasn't as if she was a biochemist or anything, what did she
know?
"Curtis says he's sorry about what happened and that he'll stop by later
to see how you are doing."
"Great," I said taking the last sip of my coffee and then laying back
down on the couch, the clock on the cable box said it was almost noon
which means I had been asleep for something like 12 hours. "Ugh."
"Well, I had planned on us getting some shopping done today, you still
need a larger wardrobe, but I guess it was my fault for taking us out to
party last night."
"Yep," I groaned.
"Sorry about that, I just don't get to the city much and I suppose I was
overwhelmed by everything. Besides I wanted to help you better fit in
with your neighbors and the life you have now."
"Whatever."
"Anyway, I'll leave you alone. I have some of your measurements so I can
do some shopping for you, but tomorrow we have to, have to, get you out
there to get some things."
I was in and out of consciousness all day, at one point I got up and
pulled off my clothes, the gaffe and just threw on some pajama bottoms
and a t-shirt, I did not feel like being bound in any way. I just wanted
to chill out, lay there and watch TV.
It was early evening when there was a knock on the door, Heather still
was not home so I had to check it out, looking through the peephole, I
saw that it was Curtis. Crap. I looked down at myself, hardly
presentable but under the circumstances, it would have to do. The
biggest problem being a slight bulge where one should not be, the
hormones took care of size and erections for the most part but still. I
reached under my pants and underwear tucked little mister back a bit and
then opened the door.
"Hi," I said, groggily.
"How you feeling?" he asked with a worried Smile.
I told him I was feeling fine, invited him in and then plopped myself
back down on the couch, making sure to lay in such a way to best cover
up anything that may show itself, Curtis took one of the recliners that
flanked the couch.
He apologized profusely for what had happened, I told him not to worry
about any of it, he and I were fine. I don't know why I felt the need
to reassure him that he and I were cool, it just seemed like something
he wanted to hear.
I honestly didn't blame him, or Heather, for what had happened. It was
my own fault, I didn't trust the guy in the first place and here I had
stupidly just accepted a drink from him. That was the old "guy me"
slipping back in thinking he was just another guy buying another guy a
drink. I had forgotten that I was an object of conquest to him. I had
gone to one or two bars with friends from work like that.
Again, clubs were never my thing as a guy but I did hang out with
friends from time-to-time at bars, and a co-worker once did under my
observation slip a roofie into a date's drink. He got some high-fives
and "good lucks" from others in our group, not from me. I just kept my
mouth shut, and watched as the guy led the groggy woman out of the bar
when the drug took hold. I now felt for her and what likely happened. I
never found out, as after that night I never hung out with that guy
again.
Would it have served me right to be raped last night? I didn't step in
when I knew something bad was happening.
Curtis and I again engaged in idle chitchat, he made me a quick, light,
meal with our sparsely stocked kitchen, "You must need something to
eat!" he said.
I sat-up in the couch, crossed my legs in an Indian-style -still
ensuring I was concealed- and thanked him. It was not much more than a
bologna sandwich and a Sprite, but it was still a sweet gesture. The
headache was mostly faded, I looked up at him as he watched me eat, and
I blushed a bit. I sort of smoothed out my hair a bit and just said
that I must look like a mess, with the smeared make-up from last night
still on my face, the hair and everything.
"Nah, you look fine," he reassured, "a woman can look her sexiest when
she first wakes up in the morning.'
"Thanks," I think I may have actually blushed.
He glanced down, "The trashcan full of vomit sort-of takes away from
things a bit."
I giggled. I fucking giggled. At that. What was wrong with me? And
what was happening. Against the sunset of the large bay window in our
big city apartment, I sat there curled up in the couch eating a bologna
sandwich, Curtis being respectful to me and still sat on the chair
across from me not making a move to my position. We talked for what
seemed to be hours.
He talked about his dreams, hopes, and his childhood. I was able to
offer quite a bit of my childhood as the vague background I had on
myself matched my real one with obvious differences, mostly gender-
specific ones and where I exactly had grown up. Different enough to not
be "mine", same enough to be something I could easily remember and talk
about without having to make it up as I go along or worry about
inconsistencies. Sunset gave way to night, and we eventually just
started watching some movie on TV. It began to feel like I was sitting
there with an old friend.
I never noticed it happening, but Heather must have came home at some
point, made her self something to eat and then sat down in the other
chair to watch the movie with us. My gaze for some reason had mostly
been focused on either the TV or Curtis. It was a surprise when I
glanced over and saw Heather sitting there in the side of my vision.
"Oh! When did you get here?"
