Chapter 4
(Becky)
On the drive home Becky couldn't help but reflect on the emotional gambit she had just ran as she and Tina had gone on their image changing shopping spree. The worst of the emotions she had battled had been guilt, she knew from her religious beliefs and upbringing that it was a sin to draw attention to yourself so you should have a modest appearance, but for some reason it felt good to see herself blossom from a drab girl into a beautiful woman in front of the mirror.
One of the other odd things about today was, it seemed as if she had someone in her head, watching what she was doing through her eyes and whenever the pangs of guilt would creep into her head a voice would whisper in a soothing tone that it was alright to look pretty and feel sexy and a new sensation would come over her that she had never felt, one that felt like electric fingers on her body, especially her breasts and privates and soon the guilt would subside. Even when she was watching the scantily dressed models the voice made it feel ok to enjoy seeing them in so little clothing.
It was undeniable that she would have never gone through with it all if her best friend had not been right by her side the entire time. To know Tina was there to guide her as she had always done was all the encouragement Becky really needed. She could live with the guilt because when it came to Tina she has had a guilty secret since she was just a small girl anyway, so it was not uncommon for her to put it out of her mind, as always she just had to be cautious so as not to let Tina know anything about it.
The fact that Tina had kissed her was surprising to say the least considering their upbringing and the fact they were taught that lesbians were an abomination. As far as she knew Tina still believed that and would never jeopardize her relationship with God by stepping over that line so it left Becky wondering what was different. Although it had surprised her Becky had to admit that receiving attention like that from her friend felt good and she trusted Becky's judgment and guidance without question so for the time being she would leave it at that and she would try to be ready for whatever happened next.
Arriving home in the early evening Becky gathered all her bags of new clothing and shoes together and headed into the house as she prepared herself for the inevitable 20 questions from her parents and younger sister. Entering the front door, she struggled to squeeze her way into the house, but finally she was standing in the living room under the quizzical look from her family who had been watching TV.
"Hello Becky, what's all that" her mom asked with curiosity in her voice.
"Hi Guys" Returned Becky "Tina and I have been clothes shopping all day because we have decided that modesty doesn't mean you have to be bland so we decided to modernize our closets"
"And what brought this on all the sudden" her mom asked?
"Tina found a book at an antique Christian book store that is almost speaking to her on its own, it is a book on preparing young Christian woman for relationship, chapter one was on gaining confidence by dressing better."
"I see, " said her mother, "Well, I have never known Tina to steer you wrong and you are almost 19 so I suppose you have the right to change your image, why don't you take me and your sister up to your room and show us what all you got."
Becky and her mother and her younger sister Ann all spent the next couple of hours in Becky's room going through what she had bought and getting it put away. Her mother had allot of questions about Becky's choices feeling that some of the stuff was pretty racy, especially the chemise. But Becky and she talked and Becky had assured her mother she was still modest in her mind. Passing down allot of her older cloths to Ann enabled Becky to have room in her closet and dresser so that is what she did.
Once her mom and Ann had left her alone in her room, she picked up the phone and dialed Tina to tell her how it had gone with her mom.
"Hello" answered Tina
