Carli Cries, Debby feels awful, Liam is baffled

"AHHHH!" Carli shrieks as she reflexively covers her shame.

Debby looks at her husband in stunned disbelief. She could see Liam was just as shocked as she was. It then dawns on her...this was NOT the crotch of whoever sent her husband those texts. In this moment of surprise she begins to doubt everything. She was so SURE, so damned sure. But...the texts said the person would be babysitting tonight...and... Oh god, her husband must have been right. Those must have been sent to the wrong number.

Deborah brings a hand to her mouth. "Oh my god! Oh my god!" All of her rage from a moment ago had evaporated in the blink of an eye.

Carli sits back on the couch and turns from the stunned couple. Tears forming in her eyes she wails. "How dare you! That...that was a secret! That was...my secret." She begins to cry.

Debby sits down beside the teen and tries to take her by the shoulders. Carli pulls away from her, her sobbing getting louder.

Debby was beside herself with regret. "Oh my god. I am so sorry Carli. Oh Jesus. I can't...oh god. I am so sorry."

Liam simply stood, his mind still reeling with what he'd just seen. The only thing running through his mind was...what the fuck???

With a gentle patient touch Deborah rests her hands on Carli's back. "Sweetie, oh Carli. Please believe me, I didn't...I was so sure. I was so sure. I am so so so so sorry sweetie."

Through sniffling tears she looks back over her shoulder with wide hurt eyes. "This...was my secret. You had no right."

Debby strokes her back. "I know. I know sweetie. This is all my fault. I should have believed Liam." She continues stroking her and talking in a soothing tone. "We won't say anything. I swear to God Carli. We won't say a word." She looks up at her husband. "Will we Liam?"

He finally snaps back to reality. "Uh...no. No of course not. Your secret is safe with us...Carli." In his mind he was wondering, 'Or is it Carl?' What he was seeing just didn't make sense. Carli was quite obviously not a man. And if she was a tranny...she was the best fucking tranny he'd ever seen! She was a stunning young woman, he never in a million years would have guessed what was hiding under that dress.

Carli still hadn't pulled her dress up, she was covering herself with her leg and hands. With a trembling lip she begins to gradually settle down. "Please, you can't say anything. Not to anyone. Please. It's a secret."

"Honey, we swear." Deborah says. "God...oh god Carli. How can I make this up to you. God I feel like such a fool." She looks at the girl with an open and honest look. "Can you ever forgive me?"

Carli was sweet girl, she couldn't hold a grudge if she tried. She nods. "I...forgive you. I understand...you were angry." She takes a deep breath and a hard swallow. "But...you had no right."

"I know, god I know. Again, I apologize from the bottom of my heart." Debby looks to Liam. Despite the apologies both Liam and Debby were bursting with curiosity. She turns back to the beautiful teen. "So...who else...knows?"

"Just my family." Carli says.

"What about your friends? Do you tell the boys you go out on dates with?" Debby asks.

"Um, no. My best friends are my cousin and my sister. They know of course." She doesn't say that they were the same as her, no point in giving everyone's secret away. She then adds with decreasing ****. "And...um...I don't go out on dates. I'm...uh...I think I'm going to wait until college. When I find the right man. A man...that might like me just the way I am."

Despite how this had come about, it actually felt nice to be able to open up to someone new. Carli gives the couple a sweet smile and looks down bashfully. Liam was licking his lips. God damn this pink haired girl was a cutie! He had to keep reminding himself what was down below.

Deborah pats her back. "You'll find one, don't you worry." She felt for the poor kid. She wasn't going out with boys and doing the whole high school dating thing, that had been some of the best fun of Debby's life.
