My Besties
A Short Story
By Maryanne Peters

I thought that it was just me when Shelly had me dressing and acting like a girl. I was not really “one of the boys” so Shelly suggested that we could do things together, if I was ready to become her sister. I suppose that there was a longing to overcome my shyness, and dressing as a girl just seemed to fit. I was unrecognizable as me, so I could become somebody else. So, I did. I became Lonette. Somewhere along the line Alonzo (people used to call me Lonny) just died.

Follow Greg and Jane over nearly a decade of their lives as their innocent crossdressing and gender swapping game blossoms into full blown love and marriage in the real world.

Introduction

Of all the places in the UK I never expected to live, Wales had to be at the top of the list. Or near if you include the places I have lived but had no choice. Much of my childhood was spent in Nottingham, and I have absolutely no desire to return to the place.

CHAPTER 52
Breakfast, to my surprise, wasn’t awkward, as all we did was smile at each other over our cereal and toast. In between her smiles, she asked, “What are we up to today?”

I thought for a few seconds before I answered.

“Depends on whether we have transport”

“Mam’s out in her work car, lo--- Jen. We could borrow her own”

The glass doors of the fitness center slide apart, letting a rush of over-conditioned air hit the August heat still clinging to my neck. I step inside. The lobby smells of rubber flooring, ozone, and citrus cleaner.

I haven't been here in weeks. I haven't swiped my membership card since the afternoon I tried to run on a treadmill and felt my chest tearing itself apart. The plastic card is slippery in my damp hand. I scan it at the turnstile. The desk attendant, a college kid wearing a tight black polo, doesn't even look at his monitor.

An Apple a Day

When I was a little boy, I used to look at the stars. When I asked Mum which was which, she used to be able to tell me. She was an astronomer, and my father was a physicist. Both were professors in the Surrey University.

CHAPTER 73
We got a few texts and e-mails over the next few weeks, sometimes at long intervals I presumed were due to the huge gaps in phone coverage RFO. There were also photographs, and one ended up printed and framed, joining the ‘family wall’ group.

Mark Lansing never wanted to stand out. He was perfectly happy disappearing into a football huddle with the rest of the team until one play made him the talk of the town. Thrust into a spotlight he never wanted, every choice can reshape his future, and every decision could transform him in ways he never believed possible. Mark’s destiny will be determined on the field … assuming he can figure out how to dress the part.
