Part 4 The Penny Drops

The concert was good, a local band who were just starting to get some attention. What worried me was the attention that the two of us got! We had several guys try it on with Tanya and a couple even tried to chat me up!

This was not the ‘me’ that I knew. That me was the predator, not the prey, and it was a very strange feeling. I tried hard to be graceful in my deflection of their advances and Tanya told me that I was doing well.

Oddly, she also remarked.

“Keep it up, I think that it will be a great help for you in the months to come.”

The other thing that was odd was that she had a bunch of cards in her bag that she would give the guys.

“If you want to see more of us, sign up for our weekly show. I think you may enjoy it.”

I offered to pay for a meal out, so after the concert we went to one of the better pubs.

We ate well and I had to ask.

“Tanya, I think that you know more than you have let on. You have the DVDs and now you have cards with the show information on. Are you part of the organisation?”

She smiled.

“When Andrew saw how close we were, he took me aside and explained his ideas about the show. He has given me a bigger wage to do several things. One is to keep an eye on you to make sure you see the year out because you, my sweet peach, are the star. Another is to promote the show, seeing that we would be approached if we are out together. All the cards I have are specially coded so that I get a bonus for everyone I get to sign up. There is a website they can look at to see snippets of what we have produced and, on top of the two hundred a week to be a subscriber, there is a five hundred joining fee to get our early shows streamed. I will get fifty for every new subscriber.”

Over our drinks I grinned.

“What else do you ‘oversee’?”

She put her hand on mine and smiled sweetly.

“Well, we are here in a good pub eating a lovely meal and you are comfortable in my slacks and blouse over a cami and panties and wearing a pair of two-inch heels. You have a tinted pixie cut and lilac nail polish and, on top of it all, you will have to ask me for your wallet to pay for our meal because you have no-where to carry it.”

She giggled.

“You are destined to be doing just this sort of thing by week five of the show. Yet, here you are, at the end of week one and you look as if it is your second skin. Andrew will be very happy when you get to be on set in a dress, you won’t get angry and storm off the set.”

I sat back and contemplated her little speech.

“You know, this afternoon I was seen as a girl even without make-up. With the regular sex we have on set and off it, I don’t need to show myself as the macho predator anymore. The clothes don’t matter as I don’t need to advertise my need for sex. You’re right when you say I’m comfortable with how I look but the one thing that does make it uncomfortable is being seen as prey. It’s not something I have had to worry about since I said goodbye to the bullies at school. I do not feel like a woman, but I am starting to appreciate what a woman feels. It is all very new. You said that I would be on set like this in Week 5?”

“Yes. When Yolande enters the scene, she is supposed to feminise you because she is a lesbian. If you recall, there is a CCTV in the toilet linked to a screen on her desk on Day 1. This is because she likes to look at ‘her girls’ when they sit to pee. I don’t know how Andrew has planned it, but I suspect that there will be a scene where she is supposed to look at you. I think that between Week 5 and Week 10 you and she will have some outstanding sex scenes before you are wearing a dress full time as part of the ‘Head Office Girls’ and being just happy to lick her fanny. That’s why the show is called ‘Penny from Heaven’. You become Penny by the end of it.”

As predicted, I did have to ask her to give me my wallet so I could pay for the meal. The cashier gave me a hard look when she read ‘Julian Spinks’ on the card and I smiled and told her that it was a misprint, it should have been Julia N. Spinks, the N standing for numbskull.

She laughed and the payment went through all right, so we left the pub and went back to the apartment where I put all of my Friday clothes in the bag with my new underwear and we both went back to my place. Tanya, being a regular in my rooms, had some of her stuff hanging in my wardrobe.

In my place I sorted out the worn clothes for the wash on Sunday and cut the tags from the underwear I hadn’t yet worn, putting it away in a bedroom drawer. When it was time for bed Tanya pulled a couple of nighties out from her bag.

“Tonight, lover, I want you to be Penny for me. If you can make me scream by just using your tongue tonight, I will give you a gold star for your performance skills and maybe let you do something manly tomorrow.”

We undressed and we both put on nighties and went to bed. It took a little longer to get her to scream but scream she did. And not just the once.

Sunday morning, I was dreaming about having a girl sat on my dick and woke to find it wasn’t a dream at all. The only odd part of it was when I discovered my nightie bunched up around my chest.

We showered and I dressed in my Julian outer wear, with the cami and panties on. After breakfast I started the washing machine, adding both nighties to the load. I had the thought that the neighbours would find it odd that I had female stuff on the line but then remembered that it had happened before, when I had girls staying over. The only new part would be that there will not be as much of mine in the future.

As it was a sunny day, I put a cap on to hide my hair and borrowed some of her polish remover to clean my nails, and we went out for a walk at a nearby park. As we strolled, hand in hand, I came to realise just how comfortable I was Tanya, something that I had never contemplated before.

I had ‘loved’ many women but had never truly loved before and it was very odd to be just happy to be with her, walking in a park without the need to be macho or trying to bed her. She would go to bed with me any time we wanted, both off and on the set, and it was comforting. I stopped and held her, and we kissed.

When our lips became separated, I whispered.

“Tanya, my darling, I have just realised that I love you.”

She laughed and shouted.

“Yes!!”

As we walked further, she told me that she had loved me as a person for some weeks now.

“It is because of your attitude to life, your kindness, your optimism, and your love of life itself. You, dear heart, are a very good person who may have done some bad things in the past. I think that the past is now well behind you as your true personality emerges.”

We had a light lunch at a snack bar and went back to my place. I got her to let me have the DVDs and I copied them on my computer and gave them back.

Looking at the first one again I saw that the opening was part of the original filmed interview where I ask if there was a job that they had for me. It then went to the title page with some music. I raced it through to the end where I saw that the credit roll was superimposed on some of our more hilarious out-takes and, reading the credits I found that I was listed as Carlo Taworth – Julian.

So, I had a stage name for the show. I expected the last few would have Penny Taworth – Julian. The other members of the cast were listed by their stage names as well. Tanya was, of course, Kitten; Sheila worked under Sigh; Annabelle was Conquest; Paula was Purity; Elizabeth was Pantee and Susan was Stormy. Of the guys so far, Steve was Studley and Tony was Teninch.

I pointed it out to Tanya, and she laughed

“Look, don’t worry about names, just think of us by our real names but try to remember our character names when we’re filming. The producers hate it when you say the real or stage name in the middle of a complicated set. In the old days it wouldn’t have mattered but these days we can do scenes in a single take. That makes everything more cost effective. Remember, it’s a business, and it does follow usual business models, even if much of the time it’s only about the sex.”

As we sat for a nuked tea her phone rang. It was Andrew and he asked her if she could be in early on Monday morning. She said that she would be at my place, and I heard him say, “Good, I will get you both picked up at seven for a breakfast meeting before the others get in.”

That evening we watched a bit of ordinary TV like ordinary folks and went to bed to just kiss and cuddle until she pointed my head at her crotch and said, “Lick me, lover; another gold star if you make me scream.”

Next morning, we were up and ready when the car arrived, and the driver was very jovial as he took us to work. He let on that everyone was happy with the way things were going and that we may be hearing some good news today.

When we got to the site there was a rent-a-guard on the gate that waved us though. Andrew was at his smoothest when we went into his office, and he immediately ushered us to the canteen where a buffet waited for us. We loaded our plates and sat at a table. In between eating he gave us the news that he had brought us in to hear.

“You two have helped me pull this little film company out of the doldrums. You, Julian, are a real find and I am so glad that you came on board with this project. As you know, we have budgeted to film for fifty weeks that will present the ten weeks of your working life at Heaven.”

“We are ten percent in and already the subscriber numbers have doubled. This gives us more money to spend and some of it will be spent on you, Julian. There are a couple of procedures that we didn’t think we could afford but if things still improve you will get the best attention available. The first thing that affects the two of you is a raise. The second thing is that my backers want you to start making public appearances on weekends around the country, working with local subscriber bases to set things up. We have produced a small range of posters and cards for you to sign.”

Tanya laughed.

“We’ve already been approached by a subscriber, who told us how much he and his wife were enjoying the shows, and I gave out several cards on Saturday.”

“Good, I will get cards printed up for all of you with individual codes, so you get credited with anyone joining. The others will be spoken to but keep these thoughts between us for a while. Now, any questions?”

“You said ‘procedures.’ I hope these to be non-cosmetic on my body and will they be able to be reversed?”

“You are very perceptive Julian. Yes, one would be a minor operation to give you breast implants instead of us getting by with falsies and another would be, if you are happy with it, a minor operation to shave your voice box to improve your voice much later in the show.”

“There are no hormones or alterations to your penis planned because it is that which makes the show what it is. When Penny comes out, she will be the best she-male in the business, and I expect that we will offer you a very good contract as things go forward.”
