I went out to tell Hayley that I was going to have my bath and that if she needed the loo then now was a good time. She shook her head telling me that...she was fine.I undressed in my bedroom and walked naked the short distance to the bathroom. I considered locking the door but swiftly dismissed the idea because if truth were told I wanted to see what would happen.I'd just settled down into the lovely hot water when I heard the back door close. My heart skipped a beat and I could tell by the feel. I threw on shoes, and hustled down to my car with myhands jammed deep in my pockets. I knew, deep down, that it didn'tmatter that much. Guys with nail polish weren't that unusual, heck, in aliberal university town like this, even trans people transitioninggenders weren't exactly unheard of. But in my mind, that wasn't me, Iwas a straight fairly white-bread dude, and the idea that someone mightspot me, even a total stranger would be mortifying.My nails kept distracting me as I drove over. . Racing a mile after I turned intoa girl would just prove all of the above."I respect how you feel, Jack - but promise me you'll makeone attempt."I looked at him carefully - there was a bit of a gleam inhis eye - I knew he had something in mind."What's going on?" You'll just have to trust me, Jack. Will you promise?"I didn't even hesitate. Coach Bradford had been my mentorfor 5 years - I owed him this. "All right - I'll do onemile after I'm a... after it's over."God - it was still a shock to. “Mummy” cried Ronnie form car seat on the rear seats. “its okay sweetheart” I said calling back to him. I tried to fumble for my seat belt but found my hands shaky and unresponsive. Somebody pulled open my car door “are you okay?” asked a familiar voice. I looked up to see Lewis leaning on my car door, he looked just as I remember, stubble on his chin wearing a blue boiler suit tied around his waist a slipknot t-shirt underneath. Recognising struck his face. “Oh shit” he said, leaning over me.
