My Lovely Neighbor (2): Confession and Shopping
Nervously, I helped Alice set the table. But my anxiety began to wane in the sheer force of Alice's business and chatter. Before long I was chatting about all kinds of things too, groceries, the weather, and yard work. We sat down to an informal meal with wine.
I was totally at ease and Alice had not mentioned my obviously feminine clothing. I was sipping the last of my glass of wine and staring at my empty plate, when Alice said, "How long have you been wearing women's clothes?"
I almost choked! Coughing and I tried to swallow my wine. But before I could answer, Alice continued, "You know you're not that unusual and in fact I think you look rather cute!" She leaned over and gave me a sisterly peck on my cheek, and stood up to clear the table.
"Alice," I started, "I am really embarrassed....I don't know what to say...."
As we cleared the table and washed up, I opened up to her. Starting from early childhood memories of sneaking into my mother's lingerie drawer all the way to the present, I confessed my love of women and feminine things. I laid out all my feelings: guilt, arousal, warmth....all the things that crossdressing had meant to me through the years.
Alice listened without comment. Finally, my confession over, she looked up at me and put her arms around me. "My dear, that's quite a load you've been carrying around. I'm going to assume your wife doesn't know." I nodded my head sadly.
"I know just the thing," she said holding me at arms length. "It's still early, let's go shopping! Do you know the store in the mall, Avenue? They specialize in larger women's clothing. Let's get you something nice. It'll cheer you up. And you'll be like one of the girls when you go walking tomorrow morning with Sarah and me."
"I don't know that I can...." I started to say.
"Nonsense. I'll be with you. It'll be fun!"
I'd actually been in Avenue a couple of times before, but never had the courage to buy anything. But with Alice at my side, I felt protected. She looked through the whole store before selecting some stirrup, spandex pants and a long matching top. "Here, honey, take these up to the front."
I had to wait in a short line holding my clothes (my clothes, goodness!). Momentarily, Alice joined me just as the clerk started ringing up my purchase. I flushed as she plopped down a pair of lacy panties and matching bra. "But Alice...." I whispered.
She just shushed me. I paid and we walked out together holding hands. "I want to see you in those tomorrow morning. We'll be by to pick you up for our walk promptly at 6:00 a.m.!"
