Chapter 11
Second impressions
I was up early on the next morning, spending and extra ten minutes in the bathroom mirror making sure I hadn't missed any mascara in the corners of my eyes. I was still tired but I felt so much better... I swear I don't know what it is, but the best sleep you'll ever have is the one that comes the night after a hangover.
I was at home alone, having taken some time off from work the last few days... We hadn't been too busy lately but as for today, it was Saturday and Veronica unfortunately, through the perils of retail, she was in work...
I was starting to relax, feeling better about a lot if this, what we'd been getting ourselves into, I felt sheltered at home, alone and calm with my hot tea and the quiet...
However sometime after 10am that sense of calm was broken when I received a text from Reg wanting to say thanks for cleaning his mini-house, yet as I read on, what he said at the end, it had me cringing and feeling like my secret wasn't so safe after all...
"Hey Dana! Thanks for cleaning my place man! That was real cool of you, like everything else has been and don't get mad but Vee sent me a couple of pictures of you, and I gotta say man... You look amazing! I knew you had a chick in you! But don't fear it my friend! Enjoy it and embrace it!"...
Reading his words I felt a chill run through me... I couldn't believe Veronica had sent him some, or possibly all of the pictures she'd taken of me dressed up in her grey cotton tunic dress, with my face made up and her pearl necklaces strung around my neck, striking poses for her, smiling and mugging for the camera...
I was shaking with fear and indeed, I was also quite angry...
"Vee what the hell? Reg just text me saying thanks for cleaning his place, but he also said you sent him pictures of me? I asked you not to do that baby! What gives? I'm freaking out here???"
Writing to her I sat and wondered how long I'd have to wait to hear back. She was working that morning, so wasn't sure when I'd hear from her, which wasn't helping my cause any... I was panicked and also thinking what was I going to say to Reg in my reply?
Thankfully, Veronica text me back a few minute later, but still, what I read didn't help me any, and in fact she was killing me from what I was reading, telling me she also sent a few of the pictures to my Mom?
"Oh Christ!"... I thought out loud... "This is all I need now!"
"Hi Dana! I'm sorry baby! I couldn't resist... I know you're going to be mad at me but I had to send them baby! You're too gorgeous to hide and you Mom loved the two I sent her! She said she'll call you later.... Ok I have to run... Love you! XOXO"...
I was white with fear after reading her reply and then sure enough, adding more insult to this injury, not two seconds later I received this text from my Mom...
"Wow Dana! You look like the daughter I never had! I'm so proud of you! You look so pretty I can't believe you're my baby boy! But all teasing aside honey, I love you and you look wonderful... I'll call you later today okay? Love you! Mom xo"...
"Oh God please tell me this isn't happening"... I said again while keeping my voice down as I tossed the phone onto the table in front of me thinking or trying to think as I felt myself shaking in a panic...
They all know now... Reg, my Mom... Veronica had outed me again, and I felt so on the spot and out of control, I didn't know what I was going to do... How was I going to face either of them ever again?
However, once more in my quest for silver linings, I thought at least with my Mom, she didn't live across a yard, where I'd have to see her and interact with her, like I knew I was going to be doing with Reg, and of the two... He was my bigger concern... My mom I could handle in a way or just ignore her altogether... But Reg? Yeah that whole scene was a little different because also as it stands... My Mom? She wasn't currently sleeping with my wife...
Hoping to keep her at bay, I sent her a quick reply, lying a little to keep her off my back for a while saying... "Hi Mom... Yeah that was Vee's idea, we were just fooling around, can't chat now... Love you and thanks! I guess... Dana xo"
But then thinking, I still wondered what I was going to say to Reg... Him I knew I couldn't just blank or pass this off and ignore... He was in on the game, or finding out more, no thanks to Veronica, who did betray me some but also, I knew deep down that this wouldn't be kept secret forever, eventually it was all going to come out...
Or I was going to found out is more like it... However I didn't think it would happen this fast and that was hard to take all on it's own. It was like Veronica was fucking me without any lube this time... Oh it goes in eventually, but it isn't easy, and it sure isn't half as nice or enjoyable...
I guess I hadn't been warmed up enough or 'groomed' as you might say... These tastes and desires were being ripped from me, pulled out with force, rather than letting me be lulled into with a feeling of comfort while wearing women's clothes, given a stronger sense of security with my hand held in kid gloves and Veronica, using gentlest persuasions.
Thinking I'd try and stay in general terms like I had with my Mom, I sent Reg a short text hoping I wouldn't hear back from him and that I might be able to relax some...
But no... I knew that wasn't going to happen...
"Hey Reg, thanks, no prob on cleaning up, was glads to do it and well I'm not sure what to say about Vee sending you those pics... We were just having a laugh... Will catch up to you later... Thanks man!"
Feeling my heart beat in my chest I set the phone down again and tried to get back into what I was doing, tidying up loose ends from my lap top. Where in recent months we haven't been getting too many new contracts in work and I was beginning to worry.
But then, not two minutes later my phone went off with a second text from Reg, one that was a little more revealing and telling me I wasn't going to be getting away with this cross dressing thing too easily...
