An Unforgettable Sissy Summer

The Discovery

Thursday came and Michael was eager to get to work. Chloe was still ill so it was just the two of them once again in the shop. Claire was just as excited as Michael. She was cherishing these moments so much. Michael was finally coming out of his shell and showing passion and enthusiasm for life. It was a joy for her to see. 

To kick start the day, Claire had a little treat for Michael. 

"I couldn't help but notice that you are wearing the white panties from yesterday".

Michael face turned slightly red, but he answered his mother.

"Yes mum. Sorry, you didn't say I couldn't keep them so I just assumed..."

"Oh darling it's fine! That's not my problem at all. I'm glad you like them. But no child of mine is going to wear the same underwear two days in a row. So, go and pick out five or six pairs of underwear. You've earned them."

Michael's face lit up. He didn't say anything to his mum, but he gave her a great big hug and rushed off to the lingerie section. He immediately grabbed a red pair of brazillian knickers that he'd clearly had his eye on, because there was no hesitation. He then grabbed a lacy blue pair, a flowery yellow pair, and stopped with has hands hovering over the thongs. As much as he wanted a thong, it was awkward to have his mum know that he'd be wearing one. He caught her eye and she simply nodded. Michael smiled, picked up the thong and rushed to the changing rooms.

He emerged a few minutes later with a big grin.

"Thanks mum." He said.

Claire simply gave him a hug and replied "I'm always here for a chat."

And that was that. The agreement between them was unspoken, but they both knew the deal. In her attempt to connect with her son, Claire had inadvertently found herself gaining a daughter. 

The day that followed was brilliant. Michael was great once again with the clients, chatting away and helping them pick out dresses. They were laughing and joking all the way home.

When they got to the house, Chloe rushed to meet them with her phone in her hand.

"Omg Michael is this you?!" 

She thrust the phone in his face and he was presented with the bridal shop website. There were his photos of him wearing wedding dresses. How could she have known?

"What... what do you mean? Don't be silly..."

"Ummm Michael, we are twins don't forget. I know what you look like better than you do probably."

Michael was mortified. He rushed to his room and slammed the door, but not before he could hear Chloe crying out "oh sorry Michael come back don't be such a baby. Or should I call you Micheala" she laughed.

Michael thrust a pillow over his ears to block out the sound and tried to forget this was all happening.
