A day did not go by when I didn’t think about that night at Jimmy’s house. I would frequently wear the black bra and panties Missy gave me when I was alone at home or occasionally out with friends. My buddies and I were looking at girls in a completely different sense. I started looking at girls for what they were wearing and how they carried themselves. And my fellow sixteen-year-old friends, well they were looking at them as girls, as most sixteen-year-old boys would.
My debut as Jenni was not really discussed much among us. It came up occasionally, especially when we had a few beers, but it was generally off-topic given it was the eighties and times were different back then. My friends were deathly afraid to admit they “liked” Jenni, the transgender alter ego of their buddy Jeremy, and I never really brought it up either. However, I was thinking about it all the time.
I longed to be able to hang out with the guys as Jenni. My mind began to wander to very forbidden areas when I was with them as well. As much as I was looking at girls differently, I was also looking at the guys differently. I couldn’t help but think about how it would be for Jenni to be with them? How many of them really thought I was convincing enough as a girl that if they didn’t know me they wouldn’t have known my secret? It was a very awkward summer for me.
My home life was no help to me at all. My parents were very strict, religious, and conservative people. Don’t get me wrong, they were great parents, but to drop the news that I really enjoyed wearing girl’s clothes would be devastating. I would never dream of sharing my sexual curiosity with them. My bra and panty were very well hidden in my closet to the point where it was difficult even for me to get to them. To bring in some different outfits, makeup and shoes were nearly impossible. I was stuck.
Missy and I had good intentions to have another makeover session, but her summer schedule was crazy. Starting with cheerleading camp, her babysitting jobs, and of course, her boyfriend Pete, Missy was not nearly as accessible as I would have wanted her to be. We would occasionally bump into each other when I was over at their house. She would always ask if I was still interested in another makeover, if I was taking care of her gift, and of course always promise to make time, but it was the summer. I understood because I was just as busy. I just needed to be patient with my new found interest.
It was just before school was going to start when Missy presented me with a chance for Jenni to return. Her mom, dad, and Jimmy were going to go out of town over Labor Day weekend but she had two babysitting jobs that she couldn’t pass up and would be staying home. She said she had a job Friday night and Monday and plans with Pete on Sunday. However, she wanted to spend Saturday with me. Other than a BBQ on Sunday afternoon with some of my neighbors, I was open. I was in! The conversation turned to my preparation.
“So Jeremy, there are a few things you need to do before you come over. You’ve mentioned to me how much you think about being a dressed like a girl well now we need to take some action. You need to start by deciding what you want to wear.”
I shared with Missy that I would occasionally drive to the mall and make it a point to walk through the girl’s clothes section in every store. I would never have to guts though to stop and look or to go through the racks. Even if I did, I wouldn’t even know how to begin shopping. Missy pulled out a few of her teen magazines and gave me a few ideas but ultimately it would be up to me. She also reminded me that if I was going to go with my white gym shoes, I may want to girl them up a little with some pink laces. Her final direction was to make sure I completely shaved.
“You never know who may show up or where we may go, so don’t make your outfit too fancy. But let’s make sure your look like a cute young lady.”
I started to ask questions but was told to be quiet. Missy would be ready for hair and makeup. I needed to take care of everything else.
“You’re either all in or not, Jenni. You’ve wanted this all summer and now is your chance. You have just less than two weeks to make this happen and to get your head straight.”
“You’re right and I’ll be ready. Don’t worry.”
“Good girl. My parents and Jimmy are leaving Saturday morning. Call the house around 11 AM to make sure they are gone. I’m sure I’ll see you before then so just let me know if you have any questions.”
I ran home with the magazines that Missy had given me and went right upstairs to hide them in my room then ran back to Jimmy’s house and acted like I had forgotten my wallet. My mind wandered all night hanging out with the guys. They were trying to find a cute girl to hook up with while I was checking out what they were wearing. Later that night, I was lying in bed with a little pen flashlight paging through the teen girl magazines. I had settled on trying to find something with a little more color this time, figuring a poofy skirt, with a mesh top, a tank, and maybe some fishnet stockings. Then the realization hit that I was going to have to go shopping. My nervous anticipation just became nervousness.
I asked my mom if I could borrow her car during the week. I dropped her off at work and then headed to the mall. The only problem was I was an hour early. It was the longest hour of my life. I sat in the car listening to the radio reading the list I had written out for myself over and over again. I had gone back to the department store magazines to try and figure out what size I would be. Missy had coached me on a few things and given me a better idea on bra sizes just in case I got really daring. My nerves really kicked in when I saw the doors being unlocked. My heart began to race.
“You can do this. Don’t be a pussy,” I told myself as I turned the car off, got out, and started walking toward the door. I had my list in hand and with every step I took, certain calm came over me. By the time I walked through the door, I was ready. It took a few minutes to get my bearings but in no time I was looking through the “Misses” section looking for something that matched my list. A very nice sales lady came to help me out and under the disguise of buying a birthday present for my sister, she proved to be very helpful putting a cute little outfit together. She even suggested a ribbon that matched the mesh top. I was all over it.
I decided that my black bra and panties wouldn’t quite work with this outfit. Since I had told the sales lady I was buying the outfit for my sister, I thought asking where I could buy a bra and panty set might be a little awkward. I figured it would be a good idea to head to a different store. It didn’t take long to find a blue bra with a little extra padding in the cup like Missy had suggested and a cute pair of satin panties that kind of matched. Paying for the bra and panty was a little more nerve-racking than the outfit but the lady at the counter didn’t even raise an eyebrow at what I was buying. Proud of my purchases and new found confidence, I power walked through the mall, out the door and to my car. Mission accomplished.
It seemed like Saturday would never come. I woke up with as much more anticipation than last time Missy made me over. I had packed a bag to take with me. I had a pair of blue shoelaces for my gym shoes that matched the skirt I bought. My plan was to swap them out when I got to Missy’s house. I waited for 11 AM and called. Missy told me the coast was clear and that I could come over whenever I wanted. I told her I’d be there soon.
Missy had her radio playing music when I got there and much like last time, her makeup was out and she was ready. I had shaved that morning and was sure it would pass Missy’s test. She unpacked my bag and seemed to be mildly impressed by my shopping. She was especially complimentary at the thought to buy a new bra and panty to match the outfit. She laid everything out on her bed which curiously had a few bikinis and two one-piece swimsuits on it.
“Are we going swimming?” I asked with a laugh.
Missy turned quickly and looked really serious.
“OK. First of all, from this point forward, you are Jenni. You need to work on your voice and how you act. You never know where you will be or who you will see. Don’t wait to start. Second, we’re not swimming but we are going to lay out on the deck to get some sun. I think either of the one-piece suits should work for you. Plus, the tan lines won’t be as noticeable.”
“Are you sure that’s a good idea? I mean…” Missy cut me off.
“Our patio has the bushes around it and the Johnson’s are gone for the weekend as well. I know he’s a peeping tom but he and his wife left yesterday. We’ll be fine.”
Missy sat me down and started with light makeup including a little lip gloss, mascara and focused on prettying up my hair. I sat on her chair, in a pair of shorts while she was doing my hair, looking at the swimsuits. Part of me was hoping they wouldn’t fit. It was one thing to play dress up in the house it was another to lay on her deck to get a tan.
“I see you eyeing swimsuits. I think the silver and pink one will fit you fine but I think you should try one of the bikinis first. They are much sexier. And let’s get something out there. I’ve seen a dick before. OK? I’ve even touched one. And I’ve given Pete plenty of blowjobs. You’re going to have to hide your thing, so I’m just saying. I can help.”
She smiled as she kept working on my hair. I could feel myself completely blushing.
“You’re cute when you get embarrassed. Just relax. Remember last time? Where is confident Jenni who hung out with her friends all night? Instead of hanging with them, you get to hang with me.”
