Ice POV

Buzzz….

Buzzz….

My phone kept on buzzing and loads of messages popped up.  She had never been so tired of texting me.  This lad was quite funny.  She apologized a million times of not telling me that she was a woman but a man trapped in a woman’s body.  Well, it was no big deal for me.  In fact, I didn’t have prejudices against the third sex.  It was their freedom.  In fact, he was a handsome lesbian.  However, I wondered why she blushed when Kamri teased her and she gave those paper flowers at first place. 

Buzzz…..

Buzzz…..

“What are you doing?” I hissed and I picked up my phone which was on the counter top.

MESSAGE:

May: I’m very sorry. Sorry and I hope my action won’t turn you off.

May: Can we be friends?

May: No.. no.. no.. please don’t get me wrong. J

May:  hmmm… Can I ask a favour? Please don’t mention to Kamri that I bug you. Please! L

May: LLL

May: Please call me Mike.  I dislike it if people call me May. Thank you. ;)

“Wow…. She is indeed funny.”  I smiled as I read and scrolled down the messages she sent.  A few seconds later.  My phone rang.  Someone was calling me.  I snatched my phone again and I saw that the person who was ringing me was May… I meant Mike. 

“Hey, what’s the matter?” I replied cheerfully.

“hmmmm…… I just called coz you don’t reply to my messages.” She stummered and seemed nervous  to speak to me.

“Oh… I’m just so busy in here in the pantry.  I was about to reply when you called me.” I replied.  I found the situation funny.

“Oh.. thank goodness.  I thought you still hated me.” I could hear a relief from her voice.

“May, never mind about it. You don’t have to say sorry about it.” I explained.

“uhm. Can you please call me Mike instead of May? May sucks! Mike sounds awesome for a man like me!” She boasted.

“hahahahahhahahahahah…. Okay May! But May is better.  You are pretty.  Don’t you know that?” I told her jokingly.  She could hear that she groaned on the other line.  I was surprised that we had been talking for almost thirty minutes and we were just talking non-sense. 

“May, I have to go. See you.” I said goodbye.

“Don’t call me May, please!” She begged before hanging up the phone. I smiled and this woman was really ridiculously cute.

“Hey, Ice.  Who was that? You seemed to enjoy having conversation with that person.” Sarah, one of our waitress said.

“How long have you been standing there? Omg. Did you eavesdrop?” I teased her.

“I was already here.  Ice, I was doing the dishes.  Didn’t you notice me?” Sarah chuckled.  She grinned at me and started to poke my side.

“Is he your admirer or a suiter?” She asked while waving her index finger to me.

“Knock it off. It’s no man.  It’s a woman.  A new friend.  I met her when Kamri was confined in the hospital.” I explained.  Sarah looked so disappointed she was truly thinking it was a man.  My staffs were so excited and hopeful that I had my Mr. Right.

“That was a false alarm.  I thought you had a future beau. Geeeeez. “  She said disappointedly.  She went back to the dishwasher and continued cleaning it.

“I’m sorry Sarah. Soon, I will have one.” I shouted.  My phone buzzed again and when I checked it.. Tada! It was May. 

MESSAGE:

May: Take care and be careful on your way home.

She was kinda sweet.  I smiled again and there was something inside me that I couldn’t explain.  The sound of chimes for the entrance door broke my contemplation.  I saw Kamri and Calvin go inside the café.  My bestfriend smiled from ear to ear while wrapping her arms around Calvin’s arms. 

“If Calvin only knew how much my bestfriend loves him.” I murmured as I finished up the cleaning in the pantry.

May Sukimura’s POV

I kept on looking at the screen of my phone.  I couldn’t believe that I talked to her.  I couldn’t believe that I swallowed my fears, dropped it and had the nerves to send her messages and even called her.  Nevertheless, this was the best start for me to get to know her more.  I found her attractive so attractive.  I guessed I did believe in love at first sight.  She was totally different from my preference.  I loved skinny, tall, hot chicks yet Ice was an example of a simple beauty.  There was something in here that captivated my heart.  I knew from the moment I saw here  that I would like her.  Wow.  But I had one problem.  Kamri.  She would not allow me to hit on her bestfriend.  I knew for the fact that my sexuality was still a big issue in the society.  People criticized me for who I was.  I didn’t choose to be born woman.  For years, I had been struggling, battling against the harsh world.  I tried to change.  I tried to change but nothing happened.  I couldn’t change at all.  This was me. Love for us third sex was sort of uncertain since people tagged it as forbidden love. Shit! Why? I didn’t wish to be left alone.  I always hoped to live with a woman who could accept me for what I was despite my  sexuality. 

I checked my phone and I was 9 o’clock.  For sure, Ice was still in the café and I should have refrained texting her.  Tomorrow again. 

“Why? Why Ice? Why Kamri’s bestfriend? Shit.  I need to  change my attention.  Shouldn’t let her be the center of my imagination but I can’t ignore her voice echoing in my eardrums.  I reached for my Macbook and logged on to Gaylesbian.com.  I thought I had better had found someone whom I could play with tonight.

I searched and searched for someone who could be my chatmate but still Ice popped in my head.

“Shit… What! What! What!” I yelled in my room.  Luckily, there was a match.  I began to chat with her.  She was totally far-fetched from Ice.  She looked so hot on her picture.  She had a fine jaw line, nice blue eyes, blonde hair and nice curves.

“Oh… oh.. oh…. I got a jackpot tonight.” I yelled again.

Guys! Where do you think this situation leads to?  I encourage you guys to comment and please do vote my story.  I will really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.

Love,
