Chapter Six

Once Taylor was sure that Sarah was gone, he made short work of removing the dress he had been wearing for hours at this point. Unfortunately, he couldn’t do the same with the panties. He was going to have to keep those on all night, as going commando made him even more nervous because of his size down there. For the next few days, he was going to have to be extra careful at school and at home, as the slightest glimpse of the waistband could be enough to sink him.

“Liam! Come here!” I hear a voice yell, making me grunt as my eyelids flicker open and I take in my surroundings — my bedroom in Sonia’s flat, with bright sunlight streaming through a gap in my curtains. However, it isn’t Sonia who’s calling me. “Liam! I haven’t got all day!”

Hold still just a moment, while I touch up your eye-liner. There. You'll be the darling of the Ball."

Karen's voice echoed in the room, but Sofia wasn't scared. She knew her sister wouldn't judge her. Karen had always been her biggest supporter, her confidante, and her role model.

"It's just... I like how it looks," Sofia replied, blushing a little. "I feel... like Sofia when I wear it."

Karen smiled and approached her sister. She took her hand and turned her gently so she could see herself in the mirror.

"You look beautiful, Sofia," she said sweetly. "That skirt looks perfect on you."
