Rebel Kisses (Forbidden Flame Series #1)

Chapter 11

"Rei! Bakit sa birthday mo pa?!" I heard him calling me in an irritated voice as he asked, but I didn't dare look back at him before I even walked out of the kitchen. Mas naiirita ako sa kaniya, he made a promise that night!

"Rei! You're giving that fucking mutt a special treatment?! Really?!" He called again as I felt him coming after me. I rolled my eyes and fastened my pace as I walked.

Bakit sa birthday ko pa? So what? Ano naman kung sa birthday ko pa ipapakilala si Diego kina Dad? I'm giving Diego a special treatment? What about it? And how dare he call him a mutt?

Mabilis akong bumalik sa living room, sinulyapan kami ni Levi na seryosong naglalaro ng Xbox pero agad niyang itinuon ang mga mata sa flatscreen TV. Kalaro niya si Rora sa Mario Kart. I was playing with him kanina but I got thirsty so I let Rora take over my spot, since mas magaling siya sa akin. Ayaw ko na mag-laro dahil kanina pa lumalaki ang ulo ni Levi, palagi nalang niya akong natatalo.

Umupo ako sa tabi ni Rora na bahagyang naka-awang ang bibig habang focus na focus sa paglalaro. Umupo naman si Kalix sa pang-isahang couch, madilim ang kaniyang mukha habang tinitingnan ako kaya inirapan ko siya at nag-crossed legs.

"Uuwi naba sina Mom?" Tanong ni Levi. "I'm hungry..." Reklamo niya pagkatapos ay kinamot ang kaniyang ulo habang nangunguso. Rora giggled. Pinipigilan ko naman ang sarili kong matawa dahil natatalo na siya ni Rora, she's good at playing video games. Hanggang Kinect lang naman ako, 'yung Just Dance.

"Pauwi na sila," Sagot ko bago ko inilabas ang phone ko sa bulsa ng denim shorts ko at 'yon ang aking pinag-kaabalahan.

Bago pa man ako mag-tungo sa chatbox namin ni Diego ay biglang nag-message sa akin si Kalix sa Messenger.

Reeve Kalixtro Villocerro: I'm sorry.

I pursed my lips tightly after reading his message.

Sorry, my ass!

Hindi ko siya maintindihan. I never thought he'd go back on his word and eat it. He had never broken a promise to me before, but now? He just did! Hindi ko alam kung saan niya nakukuha ang inis at galit niya kay Diego, matagal ko nang napapansin na palagi niyang pinag-iinitan ang sariling kaibigan.

He would always let Diego feel like he was being left out since then.

Umirap ako at hindi pinansin ang kaniyang message. I restricted his account para hindi ko makita ang kaniyang mga message, bahala siya riyan.

Tumayo ako sa kama at tumungo sa tapat ng salamin. Hinubad ko ang suot kong white shirt na oversized at itinapon 'yon sa dulo ng kama ko bago bumaba ang mga mata ko sa aking mga dibdib.

A satisfied smile carved into my lips. Tumagilid ako at suminghap, I finally have two cute little mountains with protruding pink nipples!

As a trans girl who started puberty blockers at the age of fourteen and hormones at sixteen, my breasts developed like a cis-female going through puberty.

My body map feels more complete on a mental level, and a large portion of my body dysphoria has been alleviated as I observe my body through the mirror in front of me.

I may have felt insecurities because of my slender physique but it is not as big a deal since my hips and shoulders aren't too far apart, they don't look out of place but certainly not a full hourglass figure which my body was otherwise close to.

I happen to be lucky I started taking blockers and hormones when I was younger and my body wasn't very masculine to begin with, in my case, my body shape was androgynous and the hormones did so well for me to fulfill the feminine physical structure.
