LIKES YOU

"I don't know what to say. I think you look great."

"You do?" for reasons you dont understand this realization made you blush.

"But why are you dressed like this?" he asked ushering you to your own seat away from your brother and sister. Where you nibbled at your salad.

"Well I...sort of lost a bet with my sister." you lied, no sense and making him worry. For some reason you couldn't understand you cared about that.

"You should lose more bets then." he smiled causing you to blush. "You're just lucky I suppose."

"Why's that?"

"I also like girls."

You blush again for some reason you were glad he thought of you as a girl even though you weren't one. "I'm not a-"

"Hey tom," erin interrupted "Would you be a dear and take kyle to the arcade? Me and sis need to do some more shopping and you know how boys hate clothes shopping." [Why does she keep saying that? Does she know?]

"Sure thing. Wanna go play games big man?"

"Yeah!" kyle grabbed tom's hand and dragged him off to the arcade.

"What more can we possibly be shopping for?"

"You need more than just pretty bras and panties sweetie! Come on." Any other time you would think she was teasing you but now you feel she's being genuine. [Does she actually like like me as a girl?] Your sister pulled you out of your seat and to the more dress shops. At first you're bored but as she explains the way outfits go together and challenges you to make your own outfit you begin to have fun with it. You even felt yourself smile.

"Erin?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you like me dressed like this?"

"Well obviously."

"No I mean, usually you treat me like crap but today, dressed like this, you've been...dare I say, nice."

"You don't remember do you?"

"Remember what?"

"We used to play dress up like this all the time. We had so much fun together me and my little sister." she sighed wistfully.

"Why did we stop?"

"One day daddy came home and caught us and he took you into the basement to have a talk with you. I don't know what he said but when you came out you were crying and said you'd never play dress up with me again."

"I don't even remember the talk." you half whispered. Suddenly you felt erin hug you tightly. It had been so long since she hugged you you squeezed her back.

"Let's pay for this stuff, I got one more place we can stop then we can take you back to your boyfriend."

"He's not my boyfriend." you whine as you lug your dresses, skirts and tops to the cashier.

"I can tell by the way you look at him you want him." You wanted to deny it that you just liked him but part of you wanted to be around him all the time. He made you feel so good both emotionally and physically. You didn't even realize you had a dreamy look in your eye until erin pointed it out. "Told you!" she laughed. "I'll give you this sis, you could do a lot worse."

"He is really great isn't he." you swoon without realizing.

"Okay we're here!"
