Loving Talia Love (GxG)

36.

Talia

I watched as people began to show up.

Uncle Kevin came in with his husband, Greg.

He immediately came over to me, "Talia you look worried honey. The party will go fine."

I was nervous but not for the party.

I turned to him, "My ex is coming and I need to get back together with her."

He brightened up at the thought, "Greg hold my cup."

He wrapped his arm around me, "Let's go get you looking handsome then."

He looked to Dani and loudly said, "Dani-babe. Im taking you mother right upstairs for a quick outfit change."

She nodded and he walked me upstairs. He went into my closet.

I was wearing a dress but he said "The woman in question. Masculine or feminine."

"Very feminine." He nodded.

"Which version of you is she attracted more to?" He asked.

I was confused and he said, "You heard me, what version of you gets pounced on the fastest. Chop chop."

I hesitated, "I-uh...the Miss Love version."

He got me a short black spotted sundress that stopped right in the middle of my thigh from my mothers closet.

Then he paired that with a gold necklace and some open toed heels.

He then helped me curl my hair.

I changed and then he styled my hair for me.

There was a time before I came out where I was nervous about what my mothers would think.

It's stupid in hindsight but I was still nervous.

During that time I confided in my Uncle Kevin a lot. I wanted to know myself fully before coming out and he made sure of that.

He helped me embrace the masculine and feminine aspects of my sexuality through shopping sprees, seminars, culturally significant shows, and a bunch of other methods.

He helped me so much so I never feel nervous about confiding in him.

Once I was dressed I could hear music faintly.

He glanced out of the window, "I think Randy just arrived. Talia tell him all the shooting guns is making him deaf. There's no reason his music should shake the house."

I chuckled and I switched to my contacts.

We went downstairs and he was right. I saw Randy dancing with Dani. I smiled softly at them.

I was glad Dani didn't remember much of her kidnapping. She said she felt a little bruised and hurt afterwards but as far as the whole kidnapping situation she didn't have any memory of it at all.

Because of that I was sleeping better as well. I thought I'd have more night terrors but we were both sleeping through the night.

I still offered therapy in case Dani wanted it but she was adamant that she felt fine and she promised she'd tell me if she ever thought differently.

My uncle Kevin then said "Ugh this is such a good song. Ok, I have to join in."

And he went to dance as well. I went behind the counter where my Grandmother was preparing the cupcakes.

I then said, "Grandma."

She glanced to me, "Yes dear."

I wanted to ask her about it. Hopefully she wouldn't get mad.
