Healing Cousin George

Confessions

      

It was a restless night that night, my mind churning over the events, the engagement, the kiss Gavin watching as Debbie tried to seduce me , in truth I could not make much sense of any of it. I woke up reasonable early the next morning well in truth Melissa woke me tugging at my arm to get me up "Morning Darling" I said slipping out of bed I grabbed my overnight bag that I had brought over with me. I pulled out a pair of jeans and pushed my legs into them, I took a tee-shirt out of the bag and pulled it over my head. Melissa was buzzing around my feet, I got her settled and dressed and taking her hand left the room and took her to the bathroom. As she attended to her business I spruced up my face with some light make up.

During the night I had half thought about just sneaking out early taking Melissa home and avoiding the awkward scene in the morning. Eventually I decided not to as I owed Debbie something all the help and support she had given me deserved more than just slipping out quietly. The house was silent I figured Gavin was gone to work and Debbie was probably still sleeping off last night, maybe it was the drink I thought that had brought on that reaction who knows.

I made some breakfast for Melissa, some cereal, milk and juice, some toast and coffee for myself we took it outside to sit on the patio. It was a bright sunny morning, I wondered how George was asking up his fiancé by his side, god what was he letting himself in for. I looked at the child busily clearing her plate more importantly what was he, letting her in for. Melissa finished her breakfast and started to play around on the grass in front of the house. "Be careful darling" I said lighting a cigarette and watching the happy child in her own world, without a care or worry, well for now anyway I thought.

The patio door opened behind me and out stepped Debbie looking a bit bedraggled and the worse for wear after our session last night. "Morning" I said "Yeah morning, what time is it" she asked "Just gone ten" I said as she sat down with her cup of coffee, "Can I have one of those" she said pointing to my cigarettes I handed her the packet and the lighter she took one out and lit up. I was keeping a close eye on Melissa who had as usual got her self dirty and would need changed before we went home. "Quite a night, last night" Debbie said blowing out a stream of smoke "Yeah it was, full of surprises" I said glancing towards Melissa again to check she was ok. "Look I want to explain about last night can we talk" Debbie asked "Yeah no problem fire away."

I lit a cigarette and sat back to listen. "Alex it's been great having you around you know that, having another girl to go shopping with and do thing's like last night, I know your not a real girl but I don't see the old Alex anymore." She stopped taking a drag from her cigarette, I cast my eye over Melissa who was sitting on the grass happy in the sunlight. "I don't know whether it was the drink last night, or the fact that I knew you were upset over George, I just wanted to comfort you" she reached over a bit took my hand I flinched a bit in surprise she let go, she went on. "But even more so you do make a really cute girl and I'd be lying if I didn't say I fancied you" she stopped her head bowed she blew out a cloud of smoke.

"You what" I asked, "I fancy you, is that so hard to believe, after all Pete was attracted to you" "So are you a saying you're a lesbian, or what" I asked "I've always known I'm bisexual" Debbie said "So what about Gavin watching us" I asked, "Every guys fantasy isn't it watching two hot women have sex the way they touch each other, the sensuousness' of the kissing" she stopped taking a drag from her cigarette "But you married and as you know I'm not a real woman, If anything had happened Gavin would have found out," "Gavin already knows" she replied "What, Gavin knows" I said my hand going to my mouth in shock. "Alex were man and wife we don't keep secrets from each other especially in the lifestyle we lead" "What do you mean lifestyle" I asked pulling a cigarette from the packet and lighting it. "Can you keep a secret" she asked "I'm surprised you need to ask, I mean look at me what have I been doing for the last couple of months" I stopped "Ok" she said "here goes….."

For the next twenty minutes Debbie explained her and Gavin's lifestyle to me, finishing she said "…..there you know it all now we are swingers" she crushed out her cigarette and looked across the table at me "You shocked" she asked "Eh well yes, I had no idea" "No one does not even George or anyone around here, we go to parties in the city, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle all around really" "So last night you wanted me to have sex with Gavin as well" I asked "Not if you didn't want to we wouldn't have forced you only if you wanted to do it" I lit another cigarette, Melissa was stretched on the grass now fast asleep in the sun "I'd better get her inside before she burns" I said. "Alex speak to me we can still be friends can't we" Debbie asked as I stood up and walked towards the steps. I picked up Melissa and took her inside gently putting her down on the settee she stirred slightly "It's ok darling we'll be going home soon" I said brushing my lips against her forehead.

I went back outside Debbie was still sitting where I left her cigarette in hand and a fresh cup of coffee by her side. I sat down "You think were bad people" she asked "Know I don't, I'm just surprised, you just seem so in love with each other" "We are, but we just like a bit of variety in the bedroom, no one well ever come between us we go to the parties and then come home together nobody comes here, no one even knows where we live" she paused "It's not for ever we want to have a family as well so when the time comes we'll stop" she said. "So how often do you go to these parties" I asked "maybe once a month maybe longer" she said "In fact we have one next weekend" I lit a cigarette and exhaled a cloud of white smoke "Always's safe sex, I hope" I asked "Of course, ok some don't but we always do if I'm going to get pregnant then it'll be to Gavin and not one of the men we meet at parties" "And Gavin, is he bisexual to" I asked "He wasn't when I met him, but he's tried it a couple of times only blow jobs no penetration, it's up to him we respect each other's limits," she replied.

I sat in silence for a couple of minutes considering what Debbie had just told me. I suppose that it explained a couple of thing's like how come Debbie had been so comfortable accepting me as Alex. If her own sexuality was bisexual then a guy in a dress would be no problem to her. "Look Debbie, I won't say anything, I could not have coped without you these last couple of month's, and I do treasure our friendship and the thing's we do together so you and gavin's secret is safe with me. But just so you know I'm a one girl man , a one man girl" I said with a smirk, she giggled "I know that now and I think you really know what you want and I'm going to help you get it, friends" she said reaching out and squeezing my hand, "Friends" I said.
