Becoming Sarah Chapter 10 free porn video

Chapter 10 How the sun shined through the window and onto the bright yellow plastic children play table made it pop out even more in Sally's room. The only things in the room brighter than the table were the two little girls playing afternoon tea. How could they not be the brightest things in the room, those two had so much fun together. Having afternoon tea was the best part of the play date with her cousin. This was for the little girl next to her was not a real girl, but a pretend one. Sally's cousin Sarah was actually her cousin James. Sally would always be in wonder about how good James was at pretending to be Sarah. James was so good at being Sarah that Sally made him an honorary girl. Sally was so happy all the time around Sarah. Seeing how much her cousin would revel in just looking at herself in the mirror in a pretty dress and bow in her hair made it that Sally never took for granted being a girl. Having tea was more than just playtime, it was a real pleasure. Sarah savored each sip of the best nonexistent tea ever brewed. To be involved in someone being so in the moment made Sally want to feel life that much also. Those two would make plans for the future. Sarah was going to be Sally's maid of honor when she married a man and Sally was going to return the favor when Sarah married her woman husband. After being married they were going to live next door to each other and raise a family. Both of them were going to be stay at home moms. Sally so hoped that one of her sons would be just like Aunt Sarah and find a great woman husband. Sarah hoped that one of her daughters would grow up to be a great woman husband to a boy like her. As the two girls were talking about all the fun boys were missing out on with not liking bows or playing with dolls the steps creaked. Sarah knew the two little girls did not hear it and it would have been for their best if they had. The lady who was reliving a past she thought never was swore the sky was becoming more overcast with each passing second. The bright yellow table they were sitting at was becoming dull. Those two were giggling about how girls rules and boys drooled as the lady watching heard footsteps fall. Her heartbeat started to rise, she knew something terrible was about to occur. Sarah felt weak and powerless for she could not do anything to make this dream not become a nightmare. The steps grew closer and the two little girls were laughing louder. Sarah was paralyzed with fear when she saw the knob on the door turn. It was going to hurt her bad, it might even stop her from becoming Sarah. As the door opened up Sarah was wanting to run back to the safety of her cell. Then the mirror upon which Sarah was watching this vision unfold shattered. The lady who was pulled back to the present then heard James state she was not ready to see what happened next. Why did her protector say that about a fiction she invented? That statement made the lady who needed clarity even more confused. Now she could not decide if what she recalled was a real memory or fantasy. Those words made the lady looking for answers realize what she witnessed had too much detail in it to be a daydream, yet Sarah was never close to her cousin Sally. How much joy and love which she felt in what she was recalling, there was no way she would have forgotten it. Lastly, her father would never have allowed his pseudo-son to be in a dress. Sarah went to ask why, and James was nowhere to be seen. She looked at the vanity, and the mirror was whole again. The lady who wanted answers felt it was best to let the past be the past for now. Sarah was alone in her room, but was comforted by feeling James presence protecting her from what he did not want her to see. ********* One of the many horrible side effects of spoiling your children is they do not know how to handle not getting their way. Even when it would be clear to anyone else, they keep on trying to get what they want. Lilith was no different, even with 4 of her closest friends not on speaking terms with her, the lady who knew she was right still continued on working towards her goal of making James' life miserable. The lady who was going to have her way finally got how she could work from behind the curtain. There might be no date with Jason and Cara on Saturday, but that does not mean those two cannot have drinks. How simple her plan was made Lilith curse herself for over complicating trying to stay in the shadows. Use Cara's heart of gold against her. It would be easy to control the pawn Jason. He saw Cara as prey and was ready to strike. Just mention to him her path and time home from classes on Friday. Then let the man who wanted something on the side do the rest of the work. Lilith was so satisfied with being able to get victory when the odds were against her that she did not even mind being a couple of days behind on her shows. She knew the best course of action was to spend as little amount of time at home. It would be an unneeded chance that her flatmates would figure out she still had more in store for the man who was belittling women. ******** Thursday came around and Audrey and Lexie were watching Cara cleaning the apartment again. This time the nervous energy came from her fretting over what she was going to give to Sarah/James, one of a set of personalized silver breakable heart necklace. Giggle Twins was engraved across the interlocking pendants.. Cara's decision to keep the left side for herself was causing her to fret. She knew it was the beginning of the necklace and in her mind that half would be for the male in the friendship. Yet it felt natural for her to have it. Another reason for her nervous energy was: would Sarah/James even like the gift? They were not even in a relationship or even had their first date, yet Cara was buying gifts for him. Cara questioned if she was breaking social protocol. In a relationship the man usually was the one who lavished the woman with gifts to impress, yet it felt right for her to do so. Cara was also wondering if she was seeing Sarah/James as the woman of their aspiring relationship. Cara was a traditionalist, so that gave her reservations on being intuitive about if giving the gift was right. So the young woman who usually just followed her heart off the cliff of love also was being analytical about her actions. It would help her feel better about going with her first thoughts if she examined the decision. Looking at it logically also helped her begin to come terms about becoming aroused when thinking of James all dolled up as Sarah. A couple of times this week Cara found herself flustered just thinking of Sarah only in a teddy on the bed waiting for her. That was so freaking hot, the hottest sexual image she ever had of another person. The girl who was coming to terms to the new side of her sexuality depended heavily on knowing that love, the caring and affection for someone for who they were, could never be a sin. That truly showing that to someone else could not be a sin. God was love to her, wanting to know Sarah/James in a biblical sense was not about the pleasures of the flesh, so it was not temptation. It was about their souls merging for an instantaneous eternity. For that microsecond when the past, present, and future would all merge and the bliss of being one with the other who made you whole would cover over them like the light from the noonday's sun. Cara came back from her thoughts when Audrey told told her goodbye and suggested to Lexie they should be going to go get a cup of coffee. Lexie balked at Audrey's plans. That girl wanted to talk with Sarah, those two had not spoken since The Gord came over. They needed to talk, for the silence between them was atrophying their connection. Five days of not speaking is nothing between friends as long as their last communication was good. Lexie knew there was a bitter taste in Sarah's mouth with how she perceived The Gord and Lexie treating her. "Audrey I am going to stay for I need to talk with Sarah. She still has not returned my phone call. This misunderstanding needs to be cleared up. The Gord was only joking around on Saturday. I need to make sure that Sarah knows that. Also, I was not laughing at her. I was nervous for she was taking it wrong." Audrey made another nudge for Lexie to leave. "I think that Cara and Sarah need some time alone right now. You and Sarah can talk tomorrow." "Yeah Lexie, I got something I want to give Sarah." "I promise that I will not stay long. It will be for only a couple of minutes. I think it would do Sarah some good also. She was beginning to feel nervous about the weekend, and knowing everything is fine between us would help." "I will stay also for we can go get that cup of coffee at Ye Olde College Diner." Lexie laughed for she knew that the cup of coffee was Audrey's excuse to get Ye Olde College Diner's Grilled Stickies. Those hot gooey sweet sliced cinnamon rolls were Audrey's biggest vice. A person could tell Audrey's mood by her order. With ice cream, the closest thing to ambrosia on Earth meant she felt like celebrating. Normal meant she was just doing good. If Audrey did not take advantage of the chance to have one then she was in a bad mood. Even with being in James' clothes Sarah was the one who knocked on the door. The past couple of days Sarah had been adjusting to James knowing more about her than she first thought. The impact of this was now Sarah knew that if she went too far, her protector can put an end to her becoming who she really was. Her attempt to be free would come to an end, how could it no? Her becoming Sarah would be the finish of James. James would not want to cease to exist. As the girl who was not going to give up what was doomed to fail came into the apartment she was greeted by a hug from everyone. It felt so good to Sarah, it reaffirmed she was one of the girls. As Lexie hugged Sarah she said "Dear I am sorry that The Gord got a little carried away on Saturday. It got me nervous for I knew you were not taking his good hearted humor the right way, that was why I laughed. Men might find them funny, but I do not." Sarah did not like the spin that Lexie was trying to sell her. "So I guess it was more good hearted humor when he mocked me at Zeno's on Friday to his frat brothers?" Lexie did not like that yet another hole was punch into the lie she convinced herself was true. It made yet another beam of the truth shine on The Gord's shortfalls. "He would not do such a thing." "He did. I do not care that he did and would not hold it against you. But he told The Villain and Hoghead that Dillon and I are fags who like to puff peters, and I like to wear dresses" Lexie became defensive when yet another hole was punched in her cover story. "While you do like wearing dresses, what is wrong with him telling people? Also there is nothing wrong with being gay and he knows you are not." "One it is personal, he should not share that with people. Another, he was inferring that being gay was wrong. Joke or not, how he said it was demeaning." "This weekend you will get ridiculed by some people, so you should get used to it. It was in good fun, get over it. It was a joke." "Yeah but those people do not profess to be my friend, like your man does." "He was just joking around about a friend with his friends." "Your man needs to grow up." "James I will talk to you later when you don't take yourself so seriously. Come on Audrey, the Grilled Sticky is my treat." "Actually Lexie, I changed my mind. I am going to the library to study. I am not in the mood for one of those right now." "Oh be that way Audrey." "Lexie, let us get going and we can talk about what way I am." Inside Lexie gulped, Audrey was the de facto mother of the group. Even with Lexie's friend having no real authority in the group, everyone usually treated her like an elder. So if Audrey said we can talk they knew it was going to be more of a lecture or a fight. Lexie and Audrey left and Cara and Sarah were alone. All the tension which Cara anticipated was not there. Cara and Sarah were both on the same page about what happened last weekend and the gift giver knew it was right to give Sarah the necklace. "Sarah, James, before you change I want to give you something." Sarah's heart sped up a little like a sprinter during the final push for the finish line. The lady who was being suited by her best friend was so excited she did not even try to mock being modest. With her voice going higher, Sarah said "Thank you! I love it!" Cara laughed while saying, "Wait until you see it before you say that." "I do not need to see it to know that I love it. It came from you." Instead of putting pressure on Cara's expectation of Sarah's reactions to the necklace, the statement made them stronger. The lady who was exploring uncharted territories in love knew what the gift was would never matter to the lady she wanted to own her heart. What was important was who gave the gift. Cara smiled and got the two jewelry boxes out of her purse. As she opened up the first box, the recipient's of the gift face shone like the half silver heart pendent she was gazing it. Sarah reaffirmed her statement of saying she loved it as she turned around. Then the lady who was getting her first piece of jewelry as a present presented her neck so the giver could put the necklace on her. When Sarah turned around to face Cara again, their eyes locked. At that moment the two ladies souls' shared their first kiss. The two girls staring into each others' eyes was more intimate than any physical first kiss they had shared with any other. Cara handed the other box to Sarah and turned around, presenting the back of her neck to Sarah. Sarah put the necklace on Cara. As the lady was fastening the clasp around the neck of the lady who she wanted to own her heart, she knew this necklace was from her to Cara. Their eyes reconnected and their souls kissed again. The tension in the room was mounting, they might not have admitted it to themselves, but those two were in love with each other. They needed to address their feelings for one another with words or actions, or they needed the moment to be broken. The moment was broken when they both gave a nervous giggle. Sarah wanting to show how much she loved the necklaces, "The pendant is perfect for both of us." Cara sincerely replied to Sarah's kind words with "Thank you." Cara looked on in love and lust as the lady who had half of heart went to change into something that better represented who she was. *********** Thursday's night at the Alpha house, like at the bars, apartments, dorms, and other frats, was the beginning of the weekend. The Gord and some of his frat brothers were also partaking in what many other of their fellow students were, sitting around having a couple of beers. The drinking session was not the normal light hearted affair which they were used to from last year. Instead it was a bitching session about the strict hazing policies. Without having the fun of making sure the aspiring members of their brotherhood knew they had to earn acceptance, none of the boys were receiving the desired benefit of the fermented liquid bread, relaxation. They should be able to make those boys prove that they are worthy to be called brother not by the natural interactions between them, but by enduring being treated as less. The Gord was not bitching as much as the others for he found an outlet to replace the hazing of the pledges; hazing Sarah. All the frustration which The Gord had from having to prove he was worthy by allowing others to demean him instead of by how friendships were truly formed, true interaction, was taking it out on his friend. The release of the negative emotions was not as good as it would have been on pledges, because Sarah would never really be seen as a true equal to him, an Alpha man. The Gord was an elitist. It was his personal belief that only the best try to join a frat and then only the best of the best were accepted. He showed himself that he was better than most the day they placed the frat pin on his blazer. That was why so many of his dad's coworkers in upper management were also Alpha men. The reality that once the former frat members took over the company, it started to underperform was not a sign his views were wrong. It was the workers fault, they were overpaid for their production. Reality yet again did not matter, the workers production to pay ratio went up as the profits of the company went down. The boy who C-3PO would say had delusions of grandeur conveniently forgot that he was like most of the other members of the frat, legacies. Legacies were guaranteed membership, as long as they showed up to do the hazing, due to their heritage. They were not hazed as bad as non-legacy pledges. They were never chosen to be the patsy, in fact, the brothers tended to turn a blind eye when the pledges start to treat the patsy like he was one. The Gord's frame of mind got better when he saw his woman come walking into common area they were drinking within. He was going to get himself some tonight. Plus, the boy who needed to put others down to lift himself up had a chance to rag on Sarah to two more of his brothers at hand, T-Bone and The Closer. Everyone in the frat knew about James' project and they were sending the pledges out to find where he would be tomorrow night. It was going to be good to get a laugh at a boy in a dress. The brothers at Alpha already started to ingrain the mocking into their fun. The Gord suggested that when a pledge fails horribly at trying to complete a task given, they would be made to dress in drag. He named the disciplinary action: "The Sarah" . "Hey Babe, nice surprise seeing you tonight. I thought that you were spending time with your new girlfriend Sarah." The rest of the not so witty men drinking all roared in laughter. Lexie looked at her man in disappointment. She knew all the guys sitting there, but James did not. Why would her man make that joke in front of strangers? The lady who was thinking that Sarah might be right about The Gord needing to grow up quickly lied to herself. The boys who were surrounding the man who put his foot in his mouth started to go ohhhh, joking about the trouble over nothing he was in. "Oh come on Lexie, you know I was joking. It is all in good fun." Hoghead once again put his foot in his mouth. "Yeah Lexie. It is all in good fun. Sarah is going to be epic here. We thinking of a new punishment for a pledge, when they mess up, put them in a dress, it will be called a 'Sarah'!" Right then daggers shot from the Gord's eyes at Hoghead and from Lexie's at the Gord. The man who now was not going to get some tonight made a mental note to tell Hoghead not to speak unless spoken to. Lexie could not believe that her man told the entire frat about Sarah. Some of the members were just so childish and would ride her friend about exploring how the other half lived. "How could you Gordon?" "Oh come on Lexie, like I said, it was in good fun. It is just some teasing. It was not serious. You said it yourself that James was being too thin skinned." "Gordon, with this being the Alpha house I think it is not right to name a punishment for a non-member. It should be called the Gord, you know, for commemoration of you being so cute as a serving wench." Before The Gord could object, Hoghead, who finally got his foot out of his mouth, put it right back in when he yelled, "Hey bro, it is not known as a Sarah anymore! It is a Gord!" The entire house erupted in laughter, even the pledges. The man who could dish it out but not take it would remember every single laughing pledge in the house tonight. They would pay for laughing at her joke. How dare the ones who wanted his approval not go with the natural order of things. Brothers laugh at pledges, not the other way around. The brother who was praying for relief saw his deus ex machina come into the room, BNB, short for Bad News Bradshaw. He was the president of the frat and got his nickname for if you got on his shit list it was bad news for you. The Gord did not know he was on BNB's. The leader of the boys did not like how much The Gord was griping about the easing of the hazing. BNB took it personal when the Gord belittled and outed James for his project, because he was a crossdresser also. BNB saw James as being brave for embracing what he wanted to do in such a public manner. It would take more than a project and a couple friends help for a novice crossdresser like BNB to follow James' path. The Gord bellowed, "Hey BNB, tell the bros to quit with calling our crossdressed pledges the Gord! You said we were not going to have out pledges do so." "I never said that. I said we should not call it the Sarah because I did not like the name. I do like the punishment for it would give them motivation not to fuck up. Lexie made a great point. This is internal, so we will call it the Gord." The laughter in the house erupted again. The Gord was so pissed at his supposed brothers and his girlfriend. As the reality of the name of the punishment was going to stick, The Gord saw his chance of becoming the next President of the frat become as big of a joke as his nickname just did. Wanting that office to pad his resume and make networking with other Alpha men easier, the Gord knew he had to push up asking Lexie the big question. The big question in his mind was for her to run for President of her sorority, Eta Omicron. The girlfriend of the boy who was out for himself knew there was an important question the Gord was waiting for the right time to bring up. She assumed it was him getting on his knee and asking for her hand in marriage. When Lexie finds out what it was, she was going to be let down. The lady who thought better of her boyfriend than he deserved would see the big question was about him. Lexie was a member of Eta in name only. She had not been active in the organization since she got her pin and there was no logical reason why anyone would think she wanted to become active in it again. Tradition was the only reason the girl who outgrew the sorority was still a member. Long term serious girlfriends of Alpha men were members of the frat's sister sorority. Even with being only a honorary member, Lexie could win the Presidency. She was extremely popular with the other girls. Her natural charisma which drew people's attention to the actress while she was on the stage would help her garner votes. The Gord would make sure that the girls who supported Lexie would put pressure on their men to vote for him. Just mention to them it would be making the time spent on the job easier for Lexie if her interactions was with her man. After the laughter and his anger simmered down, The Gord got Lexie to join him on the back porch so they would be alone in a secluded area. Lexie was overjoyed when the Gord told her that he wanted to have a romantic dinner tomorrow night because that question he been hinting at could not wait until the winter formal. Lexie did not hesitate to say yes. Even with needing to patch up her friendship with Sarah, she knew that her friend would understand. Sarah was too happy for Lexie when she found out that the Gord was hinting about asking the question. Thinking about how good it felt to have someone else show so much joy for her happiness made Lexie figure out something about Sarah; her friend took everything to heart unless she implicitly knew otherwise. Sarah was not thin skinned, the Gord went over the line. Lexie was so happy that she did not want to ruin the moment by having a talk about the Gord with how wrong he was in his treatment of Sarah. The Gord needed to learn that intention meant nothing if the joke was taken in the wrong manner. She would do so later this weekend. *********** Lilith stood in a dark corner of the Lion's Den waiting to see if the trap she set up for Cara would work. The stalker saw her prey fell victim to it when Cara walked in with Jason consoling him. Cara having a kind heart and low tolerance for alcohol, would lose track of the time and miss dinner with James. Not wanting to spook away the game, she faded back into the cold shadows. Jason found out what he thought was a sure thing tonight would not be so without a little help. That did not matter for where they were at sold the little help he needed. If Alcohol did not help Cara in making the wrong decision, Jason literally had a trick in his backpocket, a little package of powder form Rohypnol. The man who could read others knew that playing on Cara's sympathy about being stood up yet again was a way into her pants. It might be pity sex, but it was still sex. It was still a conquest. It also had it's advantages, for Jason could use pity again to get some more, or else just state it was a mistake if he wanted nothing to do with the lady. It was a lot better than using a roofie, for he did not close off any chance of getting another taste of that woman. Cara tried to leave after just one drink, she had plans. The man who did not care what he had to do to get some saw he had to use his ace in the hole. He racked up his pain and suffering and asked her to stay for one more beer and a shot. Cara begrudgingly agreed to do so, She knew she had a half hour before she had to get home. Getting ready would be a little bit of a rush, but that would be worth the haste. Being there for someone was important to her. Being there for others was also one of the traits which Sarah loved about her. Cara knew it and wanted to make sure she drew on that part of her personality even more to let it shine. When the second round of drinks came, Lilith started to purr like a lioness after a kill. She knew that soon Cara would lose track of the time. All her flat mate had to do was be late and explain why. It would not look good to Sarah. Lilith did not know if Sarah believed the truth or not,but that did not matter. There was a seed of doubt in Sarah's mind. That seed of doubt would grow and blossom once Cara said why she was late. Then the unthinkable occurred, Lilith saw that no good predator slip something into Cara's shot. There was no time for her to go around the table, she flipped it over and started to scream Noooooo! The bar was too busy for Cara to hear her, and she already downed the drugged shot by the time she noticed the commotion. When the prey saw the huntress she slapped the bait sitting next to her. The two bouncers who were all converging on Lilith now split up and one went to Cara and Jason. Jason slyly dropped the little plastic bag on the ground. There was no way he was going to get caught with evidence. It would become his word against Lilith's. The smug asshole did not care what others thought of him. Lilith saw the perpetrator try to get rid of the evidence. When the bouncer got to her she stopped and firmly told him what she saw. The bouncer quickly pointed to Jason and motioned for his partner to get him out of the bar. It was standard operating procedure to get someone accused of dropping a micky in a drink out of the bar. It would be bad for business if the cops got involved. Lilith knew exactly what was going on, and there was no way that she was going to let the bar sweep this under the rug. She knew how much damage had been done to Cara by her reckless actions and was not going to let justice being denied add to her friend's pain. Right then winter hit Lilith with a blizzard and she stood strong. She knew that she lost all her close friends with her self centered actions, but was not going to let them down anymore. "Listen here, you better tell your friend to stop your buddy right now for escorting that criminal out of the bar or else I will make sure that both of you will be charged as accessories." The bouncer was used to dealing with empty threats. "You are just a college student you can't do anything. Plus, nothing happened so no harm was done. The DA knows not to bring charges in a case like this if he wants to be re-elected." "You are right, I can't do anything about this, but my daddy can. See my dad is Nigel Rose. You might not have heard of him, but Sam McCoy, the DA, has. My dad is a high priced defense attorney who still has many friends from his time working in the DA office in Pittsburgh. He will use any and all of his connection and favors to take anyone down if I said they denied justice to a friend of mine." The bouncer motioned to his friend to keep Jason here. To him keeping his record clean of any charges was way more important than keeping his job. One day he wanted to be a cop, and having a record would be a huge roadblock to his road to that career. He went over when the bartenders started to yell at the other bouncer to get the bad press out. Lilith called 911 to get an ambulance and the cops to the bar. She went to Cara to make sure her ex friend was as fine as she could be. She also stood over the evidence on the ground so none of the bar staff could clean it up by "accident" Cara was pissed off at Lilith and went to slap her also. It felt strange trying to move her arm, like she was swinging it underwater. Cara was aware enough right now to know something was seriously wrong with her. This was for along with being uncoordinated, the drugged lady was also starting to feel woozy, hung-over, confused, dizzy, and sluggish. All the common effects of the drug that predator slipped in her drink. Lilith saw Cara put down her arm. "Dear I deserve so much more than just being slapped by you. I did you wrong, I did all the people who used to be my friends wrong. Don't worry, an ambulance is coming to take you to the hospital." The best way to make someone to worry is to tell them not to while informing them about something unexpected. Cara had no idea why Lilith would say what she just did. She looked so scared and confused. Lilith wanted to assure her friend and be truthful at the same time. "Cara, Jason slipped something in your drink. It is my fault. I told him you would be walking by here on your way home. It was only to distract you so you were late for dinner with James and the girls. I did not think he would try to rape you. I just thought you would stay too long listening to his sob story and that would cause friction between you and James. I am sorry. I will stay with you until the EMT show up. Don't worry, I know you do not want me around." Cara was scared after hearing what Jason had planned for her. She was mad at what Lilith did, but knew she was not to blame. The lady needed someone with her. "Please stay with me Lilith, I do not want to be alone with strangers right now." "I am here until the EMTs come." "No, come to the hospital with me. I do not want to be alone with people I don't know or trust in this state." Lilith hanged her head down, she broke the trust between those two. "You can't trust me either." "I can. You messed up big time, but I know you would not hurt me on purpose. Please stay, you can use the cable." Cara offering the use of the cable again would had been funny if it was just drunk talk. Lilith treated the statement as it was from a sober person. "I will stay but there is no need for you to let me use the cable. That is not important, I will stay at your side until you do not need me." The cops and EMTs showed up. The cops took some statements from the bouncers bar staff. They tried to not take one from Lilith, stating she needed to be with her friends. Lilith was not taking the chance of giving Jason's defense attorney any chance of poking a hole in her story. She demanded the police took her statement and made sure they did not forget to pick up prosecution's exhibit A before she left with Cara for the hospital. ********* Audrey was wondering where Lexie and Cara were. It was only 4:30, but still it was Sarah's first night out. The group's den mother wanted the night to be prefect for how much James shined as a person when he was Sarah. It was odd for those two not be there to give moral support. Then Lexie came in. Audrey was pleased by the relaxed body language Lexie had. Those two still did not have the talk Audrey mentioned they needed and it looked like it was not required anymore. Lexie has come to her senses about how The Gord acts sometimes. Audrey liked the boy, but she thought he needed to quit his constant juvenile behavior. "Audrey you do not need to say anything. I know my man was out of line with how he was treating Sarah and I was also in trying to defend his actions." "Good." "Where is Sarah? I need to tell her I was wrong and share something huge with with both of you and Cara. Oh shit I need to admit to her I was wrong also" While Lexie told Audrey about her change of view on The Gords' immature manners, Sarah was walking out of the hallway and heard it all. They turned around when Sarah told Lexie no need to admit that again to her, and the other Giggle Twin was not here. The two girls were stunned at how great Sarah looked. The girl who has been hiding from public for over a decade looked sophisticated and confident. That card she wrote about this outfit when they first saw her in it was right, it was perfect. Sarah looked confident for she was confident. How could she not be? She had the support of her friends and something else more important. She knew she had the support of herself. James accepted Sarah, all those years she was locked away from others she saw him as her jailer, that was not true. James was her protector. James gave her control but she knew he was watching closely. That the man who was just a character she acted out would be there to help if needed. Lexie went over and hugged Sarah. She whispered in her ear 'You are a strong woman'. Lexie knew she said the right thing when Sarah thanked her. After the hug they held each other hands. Lexie so wanted to go to diner with her friends tonight. If the Gord was not going to ask her about spending the rest of their life together she would have. She needed to be with the Gord tonight and only wanted to go out with her friends. Sarah saw the bittersweet expression on Lexie's face and asked her what was wrong. "I will tell Cara later. Let me finish before you say anything. I cannot make it to dinner tonight." There was a little pause for Lexie it to be dramatic and also she needed to make sure she announced this as elegantly as she could. "Sarah, Audrey, you know that question the Gord has been hinting about asking at the winter formal? Well, he does not want to wait, he is going to ask me to marry him tonight." Sarah did not listen to Lexie, she could not hold in her excitement. She started to jump up and down. Lexie did hold her composure and did not join in the expressions of joy until she was done making the announcement. Those two hugged and Sarah congratulated her. After Audrey hugged and gave her felicitations, Lexie started to explain in more detail why she had to miss this once in a lifetime event. Sarah put a quick stop to it. "Lexie it is fine. You are going to dinner to set your future. We will have many chances at spending time together. I am the same person in this dress or out of it. Tonight is not an act as much as me not being scared to show more of the aspects of my personality which I kept hidden. James will not let me do that anymore." Lexie did pay heed to the fact that Sarah referred to her male side in the third person. Her friend had been doing that while Sarah, so it was no big deal. If Lexie was not over-excited about her big evening, she would have noticed what Audrey did, how Sarah made James a different person than herself. Before it would had been 'I would not do that anymore.' *********** Dillon spent the night before the dance hanging out at his friend Ron Nash's apartment. Dillon was nervous about the date, even with him not having a chance with Sarah because of her date with Cara being on again; he wanted to show his company for the night the best time possible. Ron was the best person out of his friends he could think of to get advice about this. Ron had a strong feminine side and went to the LGBT dances as a her, Veronica. When Ron heard about James' project being Sarah, he knew right away that Dillon's roommate also had a strong feminine side. No man with a strong male persona would volunteer to experience life as a female for a weekend. They would not be able to imagine it. It would be like a member of the Flat Earth Society having the desire to circumnavigate the world. The intuitive man also knew that Dillon wanted the date to be more with his roommate. The supportive friend did not want to get the man with a crush hopes up high, but wanted him to know that there was a chance. It was from personal experience, but until Ron really tapped into Veronica, he believed that he was heterosexual. Until Ron was comfortable with where he was on the gender spectrum, men did nothing for him. It was not being in a dress which made Ron see he was more into men. It was him admitting to himself his true self which did. Ron became comfortable admitting that aspect of himself. The man who was also a lady knowing his true sexuality did not happen overnight. It took many times in a dress and being immersed as the person he really was. It took many night time self confessionals about how he felt as Veronica. Becoming Veronica was a hard journey. but worth it. Ron was happy with who he was. "Honey, to me it sounds like Sarah is in the process of learning about herself. Do not count on it, but she might be like me. A late bloomer on knowing what she wants in the bedroom." "I know, but still his heart belongs to Cara and they have a date. I will not interfere with that." "Oh honey, I am not saying make a play for her heart. I am saying be prepared if you can make a move to get her. Anyway, what is up with you liking your roommate in fem mode?" Dillon turned red. He was a little embarrassed to talk about his likes. Ron smiled seeing the man's reaction. He had a crush on Dillon since last year and would jump at a chance to date him. "While Ron. I do like twinks. I so wanted to ask you out when we first met two years ago, but you are into other fem twinks." Hearing the confession put a little pang in Ron's heart. Ron used to say he was only into other fem twinks so 'straight' men would not hit on him as Veronica. The person on the gender fence had too much respect for themselves to be the person a man experiments their sexuality with. The pangs quickly went away. If Sarah does not get with Dillon, Ron would act unlady like and ask Dillon out. There was no way he was going to let a chance of being with such a great guy pass once again. "Dillon dear, you saw me date non twinks. I said that so when those guys who want a crossdresser for they have hangup about their sexuality, would quit hitting on me. I find it sweet that you respected what I liked, but you need to be more assertive. You are a great man and any man would be lucky to have you. I am serious dear, you are a catch." Dillon quickly changed the subject for he did not want to turn any redder. Plus, he did not want his ego to be built up at the moment. He did not want any more disappointment with not having a chance with Sarah. *************** Lexie wore her favorite dress, a light blue bodycon. It showed off her figure, plus matched her eyes. She wanted to look and feel her best when The Gord finally asked the question. That moment would be burned on the mental film in her mind and saved to replay over and over again. Lexie was confused with the choice of outfit which the Gord picked, his frat sweatshirt and jeans. Her man knew how important this memory was going to be for her. It was a special day when one makes the decision to spend the rest of their life with someone else and the Gord made it look like any other day they go out to eat. He did not even put the effort into dressing up like it was a date. Now if the question was going to be a surprise, Lexie would have understood. Lexie knew what was coming, so the Gord should had put more effort into his appearance. Her man should not have made an effort to look dashing. The lady who wanted this scene in the movie of her life was not impressed with the restaurant the Gord picked, Outback Steakhouse. Lexie was not a huge fan of steak, and this was a generic location. It would not add anything to what Lexie wanted to be great memory. As a run of the mill meal was coming to a finish, Lexie thought maybe this was the way the Gord thought of making the event special. To show was it was the question itself which made the event extraordinary. She could tell that Gordon was getting ready to ask the question. "Lexie, you know how much the future means to us. I've been working hard at making sure that I am in the best position to get a great job when we finish school. I was going to wait until the winter formal, but last night made me see that I needed to speed it up so we can do what I am going to ask of you. I want you to run for Sorority President. We can run as a joint ticket." The only reason Lexie did not interrupt the Gord right after the question was for she was stunned. It amazed the lady who was not able to form the right way to say no, that the Gord thought this was so important that she canceled her plans with her friends. This question was not important to them, it was only to him. "Come on Lexie, just say yes." "There is no way I am going to run for President of Eta. Why would I? I have not been active in it for over a year. I only stay in it for we date. I am too busy as it is. I missed girl's night out for this!" "You would, for you do not have a social life outside of me. Lilith confirmed it that day she told me you wanted me to come over. I would have waited until the winter formal to ask, but you made my name the laughing stock of the frat. I wanted to be president and unless you help me it will never happen." After hearing that Lilith set Sarah up to be seen by The Gord, the rest of her boyfriend's statement sounded like it came from an adult from the peanut. "I told you not to come over that night and you did. It was not for you were being sweet and missed me, like you said. It was for what Lilith told you to stroke your massive ego." "Let us not get into this right now babe. At least think of running for president. You did a great job at ruining my chances." "No, and you really should not keep on bringing up how you named a punishment after Sarah. That is putting a friend down. Also, you had no right to tell anyone about what you saw." "Let us just drop it. You are mad and irrational right now babe." "Gordon, I am mad but not being irrational. You made light of someone for no reason other than to get a laugh about them behind their back. Come on, let us get going, I want to grab my dirty clothes from your room and get back to my apartment." "Oh come on, you are overreacting. Who is..." The Gord was smart enough to stop in mid question. Even with not getting deeper in trouble with his girlfriend by finishing the last part of doing my laundry, the damage was done. Lexie knew what he was going to ask. Even with being mad at him, Lexie was going to give him credit for seeing the error of what he was about to say. "You can do your laundry. It is time that you start doing more of the chores." The Gord showed more of that wisdom he demonstrated by not finishing the question about his dirty laundry. "OK, we will get going. I love you, and come on over Sunday night. We can talk more about this then." On their way home the two lovers talked. It was small talk, so they did not touch on any other subject to expand the fight they were having. Lexie's phone rang and she even glanced to see who it was. Even if she was going to answer it, she would have ignored the call because it was from Lilith. *********** Cursing herself, Lilith did put down her phone after Lexie did not answer her call. No one was answering her calls or replying to her texts. The lady could not blame them, she did her best to eliminate all of them. Looking back at all the chaos she has caused in their lives the last couple of weeks, and the anger she exhibited towards James, Lilith could not blame them. The shunning got to her bad. This was for Lilith needed to tell Cara's friends she was in the hospital. Lilith did not consider those people her friends anymore. The lady who was in a winter season of friendship between those people wanted to call them friends, but saw herself as not worthy to do so. The isolation from them felt worse for Cara was not getting the support from them because her wrongdoing. Cara should not have to pay for Lilith's sins. Lilith resigned to keeping vigil over Cara on her own. The lady full of regret gave her word that she would stay by her unconscious friend's side until she was better. Nothing could drag the sentinel away from her post until Cara was not under the influence of that drug and was surrounded by her friends. Then the lady who knew she was a viper could slither away from her post and those people's lives. ********** "Audrey, I am hungry so let us get going. We are running late." "Give her a couple of more minutes Sarah. It is fine if we miss the movie. Tonight is about spending time with each other." "It is fine, Cara is not showing up. She likes that Jason and that is fine." "No she doesn't it. They never had a date dear. Cara is looking forward to going out with you. She was so happy this morning about just thinking of it. Plus she gave you that wonderful necklace." Sarah was getting a little miffed, "Audrey just drop it. Cara has not returned your phone call or mine. Plus Lilith called me and you. You know the only reason she would call me was if she had bad news to give me. Let us just go. I am fine, she is my best friend and I am happy for her." Sarah was right, Lilith did call with bad news, Cara was in the hospital. Audrey did not want to upset her friend anymore. She grasped why her friend was not open to the truth, the past between Sarah and Cara was filled with missed opportunity for them. Also Lilith calling them made it look like Sarah's speculations were right, even with them being false. "OK, we will get going. Just tell me you will be open to the date with Cara." Audrey trying to make sure Sarah would still keep her date with Cara raised her friend's ire even more. "The only way I will do so if we go on the date right after she asks me out." Audrey was not keen on Sarah's answer, but knew the it best to just accept it. The two ladies grabbed their purses and went out to hit the town. It was exciting for Sarah to just take a step out of the apartment. The lights in the hallway seemed brighter, and it seemed longer. Audrey paid close attention to Sarah, she was ready to abort this evening if anything about it became too overwhelming for her friend. The aspiring doctor knew Sarah's mental well being was vital and this project could be amended to deal with if Sarah needed to not go as social. At first Sarah was pensive walking down the hall. Then the watchful friend saw that each stride Sarah took became longer. It touched her heart that she saw Sarah gaining her confidence. Once they made it to the entrance of the apartment complex and Audrey held the door open, Sarah paused. She was soaking in how huge and full of life the world was. It was just like that night Sarah went home wearing her prosthetic vagina, only with the intensity of being in tune with her surroundings intensified to the Nth power. Sarah knew that from now on, life was going to be more vibrant no matter how she was dressed. The lady who was fully out in public for the first time also knew this weekend was not the last time. She needed to feel this way as often as she could. Just thinking ahead to the next time while they were walking put a smile on her face. She turned to Audrey and without a care mentioned how Sarah wanted to go on all the girls' night out. Audrey said of course Sarah could always join the girls on their night out. Hearing those words let Audrey put her guard down. She knew there was no need to monitor her friend's progress anymore. Audrey was thankful because now she could just enjoy the evening. She would still be observant of Sarah's actions, but knew everything was going to fine. No it was going to be better than fine, it was going to be great. During the meal those two chatted. Audrey felt close to James, but right now she felt closer to Sarah. The longer they chatted, the more Audrey felt like Sarah was the real person and James was the project. James was just a female trying to experience life as a male. Even with having her speculation of James being transgender almost confirmed, there was no way that Audrey was going to press that subject. It was up to Sarah to do so. They spent way too much time laughing, talking, and sharing wine to even try to make it to the movies. Sarah suggested that they hit the Shandygaff to dance. At the beginning of the night Audrey would have been hesitant to agree, but there was no way she was getting in the way of the good time her friend was having. The only reason why those two did not tear up the carpet after diner was Sarah's spirit was willing, but her flesh was weak. Her feet and calves were killing her. As they returned back to the apartment, the two girls who became closer friends were surrounded by an aura of joy. They came in and before they could say anything they saw Lexie on the couch. Even with being upset at being let down by the important question the Gord needed to ask, the vibe from her friends made her feel better. She was happy for Sarah and loved the glow her friend had. There was no way that Lexie was going to make tonight about her man needing to grow up, it was the beginning of Sarah's coming out party.
