I haven’t always looked like this. When I was nineteen, my best friend was a guy I had a secret crush on. We hung out a lot, but he was oblivious to my desires. I wanted it that way; I didn’t want to approach him in a body I wasn’t comfortable in. But I knew I wouldn’t stay that way forever, so I waited with bated breath until we’d meet again in a time and place more appropriate for our love to have a chance. I knew he liked pretty girls, and while one was trying to break out of me at the time, I just wasn’t a pretty girl.
I saw him for the first time in a long time this weekend.
The First Time In A Long Time
I didn’t know he’d be there though I should have suspected. Our group of friends had decided to connect for the first time in a long time. The gasps and squeals of shock at seeing me really through the group for a loop, but they settled down quickly after a few comments of, “I always thought you would be a beautiful woman.”
My eyes continually scanned the room, looking for his face. What would he say when he saw me? Would he even recognize me? I worried he’d refuse to talk to me as if I would have betrayed our friendship by changing my life altogether. It’d been over an hour since the get-together started, and he still wasn’t there.
I stood at the bar, waiting for a drink, when I felt a soft hand touch my shoulder. “Alex?” His tone was soft and unsure, but I immediately knew it was him. I inhaled all the air in the room before turning to face him. Age had only made him more handsome. “Wow.” His eyes glittered when I looked at him. “Even better than I ever imagined.”
I thought I heard him wrong, and I didn’t know how to respond. Had he known my true self all along?
