A Story of a Transgender

Epilogue: The After Party

Epilogue

Jenna came running up to me talking about this huge after party... well, after the dance.

She was super excited and it looked like she wanted me to go. I was confused but why not take a shot at it?

"Yeah! And there's this guy that I want you to meet..." She mumbled.

"A what? Jenna, I just got out of a relationship that ended in tears."

"I know I know, the point isn't to get you with him, the point is to make you forget Tony."

"Ugh, am I going to let you convince me into this?" I complained.

"Oh trust me, once you see how hot and sweet he is, you'll let me do this."

"As hot as Tony?"

"Hotter."

"We'll see..."

She takes me to the after party and there's a bunch of people there, so many masks, so many drinks and so many hot guys holy shit.

"Which one is he?" I ask curiously.

"The one in the black and white tux wearing the white mask drinking whiskey over there in the corner."

"Oh god... please tell me he is not drunk..." I was super worried he was drinking, what if he's drunk and this night ends.... terribly?

"Ooh he is!" She laughs.

"Why are you laughing, Jenna?!"

"Because you're supposed to get drunk at an after party! You will, too."

"Ooh hell no I'm not. The taste of alcohol is so gross, man. If I can't hold a sip down, I can't hold a bottle down."

"But the question is; have you ever tried good tasting alcohol or whine?"

"Um... nope."

"Then you can't possibly already know what you can and can't gold down then now can you?!"

"Ugh, I hate when you're right... okay, what do you have for me?"

"Red whine, it's fabulous tasting. It'll get you drunk after maybe three bottles depending on if you're a light weight or not."

"I'm a light weight with weed if that helps."

"I don't know, but it's good to know! Just try one bottle, see if you feel anything and maybe you're a light weight when drinking too, I'm going to go get your... um partner of the night."

"Don't make it sound so gross, Jenna!" I yell back at her while she runs getting him.

I take a few sips of the red whine and it actually tastes super good. I'm surprised it actually does. Usually with me and drinking... it doesn't go right.

I just hope he's not too drunk...

Jenna comes back with him... I don't know his name, wow awkward.

He's a little dizzy and walking funny.

"Hey, Matt! This is David. He's a little drunk as you can tell."

"Wait, Jenna."

"Yeah, Matt?"

I lean over to whisper in her ear so David couldn't hear, "Is he gay or bisexual, though? I mean I am a guy..."

"Oh sweetie at these kind of parties in his condition, it doesn't matter, but yes he is one of those, I forgot. Oops."

"Okay... can we take his mask off?"

"Sure!" Jenna says and pulls his mask off.

"Oh fuck he is so hot, I- I've got it from here, Jenna. I'll see you later." I say bluntly to her.

I didn't even have to think that through. Wow.

I took him in my arms and saw Jenna walking away yelling, "Have a great night, guys!"

I wonder what she meant by that...

David starts pulling himself off of the floor and finally speaks to me.

"Ooh, hey gorgeous." He says with a heavy deep British accent.

"Whoa, you talking to me?"

"I am, handsome."

"You're a pretty confident sweet talker, aren't you?"

"I guess I can say I am." He half smiles and chuckles while looking at me.

He's so confident in his self, why can't I do that? He's here looking at me while I'm just looking at the floor.

"I like it, you have nice hair, too. I love your accent oh my god."

"You do too... and thank you, thank you. A lot of people say they do. Hey, why don't we go back to my place and get to know each other a little better?"

"I wonder why," I chuckle at him and continue talking. "I'm right behind you." I say and smile at him.
