The sissy games

Part 50; She is badass

Ember arrived not long after, her face lighting up with excitement. "Let's go to your room, I've got a fun idea for us today," she said, reaching for Alex's hands. Her eyes fell on his nails, and she grinned. "Oh my, those are some pretty nails."

Alex, walking hand in hand with her, let out a sigh. "Little devils, they are. How do girls manage to do anything with these?"

"Practice," Ember replied with a teasing smile.

Once in his room, they sat on the bed, and Ember pulled out a brochure. "So, about that fun idea... I was thinking we could try this." She handed it to Alex, showing him a flyer for an Italian ice cream restaurant.

Alex's face lit up as he took the brochure. "I didn't know you had a sweet tooth! But I love ice cream too."

Ember giggled. "I do, and this place is amazing. They even offer a tasting menu, or we can just get a huge sundae."

"That sounds delicious!" Alex said, his excitement growing. "Actually, I've got an idea too!"

"You do?" Ember asked surprised.

"Yeah. Jade was actually pretty nice—she wasn't a devil like the others," he explained. "We talked, and I asked her if there was something fun to do around here. She suggested a historical bike tour."

Ember nodded, interested. "That does sound fun."

They discussed both ideas and soon realized that the bike route passed right by the ice cream restaurant. The plan was set. They got ready and headed downstairs to the car. However, as they were about to leave, the driver hesitated. Alex's wondered what it could be. He then heard, he wasn't wearing his daily mascara.

They hurried back upstairs, and Ember quickly applied the mascara, giving him those long, dark lashes he was practically wearing all the time. Once again, Alex had to face the world with a feminine appearance.

Finally, they were allowed to go, and after a short drive, they arrived at the bike shop. The shopkeeper handed them the bikes with navigation screens to guide them through the historical route. "Okay, payment is done. Just sign here," the man said.

Alex had been hiding his nails, but now he had no choice. He picked up the pen hesitantly, knowing his bright, polished nails would be noticed. As he signed, he glanced up to see the shopkeeper grinning.

Behind him, Alex overheard the man whispering to a colleague, "Did you see his nails? Pink and purple."

"And did you notice? He had breasts too," came the laughing reply.

Alex's face burned with embarrassment. He quickly took the bike, trying to ignore them. The shopkeeper handed the bike over with a smirk. "Pretty," he said, gesturing at Alex's nails.

"Sorry?" Alex replied, momentarily confused.

"Your nails. They're pretty."

"Thanks," Alex muttered awkwardly before joining Ember.

Ember, unaware of the whispers, cheerfully explained how the navigation worked. "It's easy. We just follow the screen, and it'll tell us all about the historical landmarks."

They started cycling, and after a few minutes, they reached their first stop: an old farmhouse from 1342. Alex tried to tap the screen for more information, but his long nails got in the way. He had to awkwardly flatten his hand to use the button. He read out the details about the building, and Ember listened carefully.

As they continued the tour, they passed more medieval buildings and gates, though Alex couldn't help but notice people staring at him. No matter how hard he tried to hide his nails, people seemed to catch on. It was exhausting.

Finally, they reached the stop near the ice cream restaurant. Ember was buzzing with excitement. "I'll be right back," she said, rushing off to the restroom. Alex found a table, but as he sat down, he noticed a group of teenage girls at the next table, giggling and whispering while glancing in his direction. Looking at their own nails and stare at his.

He tried to ignore them, but the seconds felt like hours until Ember returned. They looked through the menu together, deciding to treat themselves to two large sundaes.

As they waited for their ice cream, they talked about the sights they'd seen, and Alex began to relax again. But just as he was starting to feel more comfortable, one of the girls from the other table walked over.

"Hey, I saw your nails, and they're gorgeous! Where did you get them done?" she asked, her tone hard to read.

Alex didn't look up, feeling the familiar heat of shame creeping up his neck. "I... uh... forgot the name," he mumbled, avoiding eye contact.

The girl smirked, and as she left, another one from her group placed a lipstick on the table. "To finish your look," she said with a wink before walking off, laughing with her friends.

Alex felt humiliated, but Ember's expression darkened. Without missing a beat, she grabbed the lipstick and hurled it at the back of the girl's head. "Dare to disrespect him again, and I'll shove it up your arse!" she shouted, standing her ground.

Alex couldn't help but burst into laughter, feeling proud of her. Ember returned to the table, sitting down as if nothing had happened.

"You're such a badass," Alex said, still grinning. "I couldn't be happier to have you as my girlfriend."

Ember's face lit up. "I love you too," she said, leaning in for a kiss.

Their ice cream arrived, and they dug in with delight. "Wanna try mine?" Ember asked playfully.

"Sure," Alex said, reaching for her cup, but Ember blocked him with her spoon.

"No, no! Let me feed you," she said with a grin.

Alex chuckled, feeling ridiculous as he let her feed him a spoonful of ice cream. "Delicious!" he said, making a show of it.

"My turn!" Ember leaned in, scooping a spoonful from his cup and feeding her in return. They laughed together, enjoying the moment.

After finishing their treat, they continued the bike tour, ending at the grand finale—a magnificent castle with towering spires and intricate details. Standing hand in hand, they gazed up at the stunning architecture, taking in the beauty of the moment together.
