She waited a lot, and sometimes felt like all she ever did was wait.Her last boyfriend made her wait too. First she waited for him to ask her out. He ...as a cute guy in her senior year at college, and he often eyed her, yet never got the nerve to say anything. She knew he liked her. Jimmy, that was his name, always looked her way when he thought she was busy listening to the professor, but she knew. He would watch her, and smile, but he never said anything. Until that day when he finally caught. The doorbell went. Shit,where was Suzi?I headed for the master bedroom. "Food's here!" I called from the door."Be a sweetie and get it!" came the reply from the shower. "I'm notready yet. There's twenty quid on the table in the hall"."I can't go like this!" I protested."Why the hell not?" she demanded, "at least you've got some fuckingclothes on! He'll only think you're a guy if you carry on shouting likeone. Just give him the money and take the food. If you smile prettilyhe'll probably jerk. ” I shrugged my shoulders and said, “Besides, I’ve been through worse. And I even got off on some of it.”“I will still speak to her current Master,” he said evenly... a little too evenly. He was really mad. He turned to me, smiled and said, “I will convey your wishes. But pepper and her stud muffin must be punished in some fashion. A slave cannot harm another slave or defy the rules of the Faire and escape unpunished.”“Thank you, Master,” I said. I really hoped her Master wouldn’t punish her. Being called a girl, or a woman, or anything like thatdidn't even faze me anymore. It'd been almost a month since what I'dstarted to think of as my rebirth, and I'd fully accepted everythingabout my life as it was right now.With my mom back inside, Lexi came over to me and gave me an even biggerhug than my mom had. I thought for a minute that she might not let me go- and thought for a second that I might not want her to."Promise you'll text me every day," she said as she released.
