New and Improved

by Ana Cristina

I walked away silent. Stunned.

The first month was hard. I couldn’t just walk around in my underwear, and if I went to the bathroom, I had to make sure I not only shut the door but locked it, too. Also, I learned early on that if I wanted privacy, I needed to shut my door (which I normally didn’t like doing – it made me feel claustrophobic). Jodi had the disconcerting habit of suddenly walking into my room and asking, “What’s up?”

It had been bad enough listening to Tom speak to Jodi on the phone, when he’d be spouting such nonsense as, “No, I love you more!” and “You’re my wittle baby girl.” Now I got to enjoy the full performance. And it sucked.

I spent whatever time I could out of the apartment because I couldn’t stand watching them suck face 24-7. I’d become a regular at Rock Hard, and Mendez said I was actually “starting to look like a human being.”

I stared at myself in the bathroom mirror, admiring my new and improved physique. I didn’t notice when Jodi walked in.

“What’s up, sexy?”

    I love the actually starting to look like a human being part. Very Mendez. Okay, I’ve got next.

    I just fixed the first part to let the reader know a month has passed. I want there to be enough time so that our nancy-boy can get some muscle and grow some more confidence. It’ll be important later on. ;-)

    I love the quick ramp over a period of time that all leads quite neatly to this one moment in embarrassing time as she catches him doing some mirror posing (and really, who among us hasn’t done some of that?)

    This thing is insane right now… I myself know didly-squat about romance (and never quite understood the whys behind it), but I love to see it unfolded by people who appear to know what they’re talking about. Excellent!
