My First Apartment Chapter 11

I woke up early and started my Trash Patrol! I went by the patio and pool, it was spotless! As I checked the trash cans they were already dumped. I was walking back to my apartment and ran into Mr Partenza. (Tony)

We dumped and cleaned up everything last night, Lana! How are you doing?

I'm okay! Nothing to worry about. Thanks for asking.

Don't worry about Lou and his crew! They won't be coming around again.

Really?

Lou's bail was revoked and he and his friends will see a judge on Monday. If all goes well, you'll be out of college before seeing them again. That reminds me. You need to make a statement with the police department on Monday. I can take you if you want me to!

Thanks! I'd appreciate that! I said. I hugged him!

You're welcome, Lana! Have a nice day!

I went back to my place and Bunny was making breakfast.

I thought you ran out on me! Bunny giggles.

"Just doing my job"! I replied.

I poached eggs and made toast, and the coffee was ready. Are you hungry? Bunny asked with a loving smile.

Famished! I said. It smells great!

We sat down and ate. Bunny was excited about going to the beach. I was from Lompoc, California. I didn't know anything about the beaches around San Diego. Bunny started explaining how we should prepare for a day at the beach.

I grabbed my mom's old beach bag. I loaded it with towels, sunscreen, and oils. Bunny selected a change of clothes for me with shoes. I was worried about my gaff.

Don't worry sweetie, no one will notice! Bunny said. I'll check your tuck before we leave. Besides, we're only going to be there for a couple hours.

I guess you're right! I shouldn't sweat the small stuff! We giggled together.

Bunny went through my bikinis. She picked the white one with the g-string back for me. Fortunately, it had padded B-cup falsies in it. I had both my wedge cork sandals and flip-flops. We applied sunscreen to each other and let it set for a few minutes before we got dressed.

Bunny borrowed my pink bikini, which was similar to my white one. Bunny helped me with my makeup. A light but full coverage contour foundation with an earth-tone pink lipstick. We did our eyeliner together. Slightly heavy due to the sun. I grabbed white and pink tennis sun visors for both of us.

Charlie and Stan knock on my door at 11 am.

You girls look great! Are you ready? Charlie asked looking at me with an approving smile. Charlie had the body of a world-class athlete! His bulging muscles, washboard abs, and big muscular legs spoke volumes about his fitness. Stan was equally built.

We took Stan's Jeep to the beach. Stan and Charlie had their surfboards on top of the roll bar. The guys helped us in.

Bunny and I sat in the back.

Where are we going? I asked.

Black's Beach on the north side. Stan said. I looked at Bunny and she was smiling.

I looked at Bunny with a quizzing look.

She whispered in my ear. It's a clothing-optional and gender-friendly beach.

I couldn't completely mask my shock.

It's okay! You're going to love it! Trust me! Bunny said squeezing my hand.

I trusted Bunny, but the term "clothing-optional" had me a bit worried.

We arrived at Black's Beach Northside. The guys unloaded the Jeep. Charlie grabbed the small cooler with a strap and slung it on his shoulder. He grabbed his surfboard and led us down to the beach. Stan went and parked the Jeep.

We found a nice spot with some distance from most of the crowd. Some people were naked, some were in very revealing swimwear. I noticed many of the same-sex couples and groups of people. They were behaving like regular people at the beach, only with fewer clothes. I was studying the crowd through my sunglasses trying not to look obvious.

Bunny was watching me and smiling. Stan arrived carrying his surfboard, an umbrella, and a large duffel bag. The guys arranged everything so we were comfortable. I was actually impressed! I never knew guys could be so thoughtful.

The guys offered to reapply suntan oil for us. Bunny and I lay down on our stomachs. Would you mind if I untied your top, Lana? Charlie asked.

I froze, I couldn't speak. I didn't know how to answer.

Bunny was listening, that's a great idea! You don't want tan lines on your back, Lana.

Please, Charlie, Thank you! I said.

Charlie covered me with suntan oil. He gave me a light massage as he applied the oil. His touch was very affectionate. He started on my shoulders and worked his way to my waist. Charlie moved to my legs starting at my feet. He worked his way up to my ass. As he approached my crotch I was getting very nervous.

You have a very nice body, Lana. Very nice muscle tone. What's your secret?

Yoga and aerobics. I said.

You have a very nice body, Charlie! How much can you bench press? I asked.

325 pounds is my max weight. I can do 25 reps of 225. He said.

That's impressive! I said. (I actually was impressed).

Stan was chatting with Bunny. She was glowing with oil like I was in the Sun.

Are you guys going to surf? I asked.

We were thinking about it! But we wanted to hang out with you today. Stan said.

I'd love to see you both surf! I said.

Me too said Bunny.

Surfs up, Bruh! Stan said.

The guys took off their swim trunks. They were wearing g-string pouches. They grabbed their boards and started walking towards the water. Both of them had very muscular asses. Both Stan and Charlie had a nice size bulge in the front. Neither one of them had much body hair.

The waves weren't very big today about 4 feet tall. Occasionally a bigger wave would come in. Stan and Charlie paddled out past the break. They watched and waited for a decent swell to come in.

I'm really nervous, Bunny!

Don't be! These guys are sweethearts! Bunny said

What if they freak out when they find out about us? I asked.

Two gorgeous guys, without girlfriends taking us to this specific beach! This means they are gay or bisexual. Either way, we'll be fine. If I had to guess, I'd say they need a beard to date. Bunny said.

What's a"beard"? I asked.

A "beard" is a person you date to hide your true sexual preference. Bunny answered.

Okay??? I said quizzingly.

Relax, girlfriend; let's watch the guys surf!

We sat up and watched as our guys caught the waves. They were pretty good too! I watched Charlie zig-zag up and down a nice tubular 5-foot wave. He rode the edge of the curl perfectly. It was like watching Patrick Swazey in Point Break. Stan was just as good too. The guys were out there for about 45 minutes and came in.

We complimented them on their surfing. I was finally starting to relax. We drank some water and made small talk for a while.

Would you like to take a walk, Lana? Charlie asked.

I started getting nervous again. Bunny saw my fear. So did Stan.

He doesn't bite, Lana! Stan said.

Go on! Bunny said! The sand will do your feet some good.

Charlie offered his hand and helped me up. We started walking on the edge of the surf. We held hands as we walked. He smiled the entire time.

I like you Lana! You're sweet and very cute!

I like you too, Charlie!

I really would love to get to know you better! Charlie said.

You should know, Charlie, I'm not like other girls.

I know! I'm not like other guys either, Lana!

What do you mean? I said with concern in my voice.

Don't take this the wrong way, because I don't mean it to be mean. You're transgender, aren't you?

Up until that moment, I never really thought about it. I never put a label on it. I could tell he wasn't trying to be mean or spiteful.

I guess you could say that! I said with a fear in my voice.

Stan and I are Bisexual! We keep it quiet. No one wants to play football with bisexual men. We are best friends but we don't play with each other. Stan is like a brother to me! We brought you girls here because it's a safe place for people like us.

I've noticed you several times at the complex. I always thought you were beautiful! It was hard for me to get up the courage to ask you out. Charlie said.

I'm still very new to my transition. I'm not even sure if it's the right thing for me at the moment. I haven't started any hormone therapy yet, I said.

I think you are a wonderful person and girl! Charlie said.

We stopped all of a sudden. He spun me to face him.

Can I test you? Charlie asked.

What test?

No sooner did I ask and he kissed me! A full, soft, lip kiss. It gave me goosebumps on a 90° day. I liked it.

Mmm! I said.

Can I try another one? Charlie asked.

Okay! Just one more! I said, trying to maintain my composure.

He kissed me deeper. I felt his tongue pass my lips and meet my tongue. Five seconds turned to ten seconds, then I lost count of the time. His hand is grasping my ass softly as he pulls me close. I felt myself submitting to his physical advances. I was enjoying the way he made me feel.

He was strong and very powerful. He wasn't forceful, but he was confident. I felt cherished, there wasn't another way to explain it. His grip was firm but not rough or overpowering. My arms were secured around his muscular shoulders and neck. My back arched backwards as we kissed. I felt flushed with new emotions running through my body. Charlie was a great kisser.

I touched his face with my fingers and we ended our embrace. I was a mixture of emotions and actually proud of myself. Charlie was smiling.

Ohh! Lana! You're a great kisser! Charlie said

You're not so bad yourself! I said.

We better get back! Charlie said.

Let's go! I said. We both have things to do today.

Yes we do!

We walked back holding hands. Charlie stole a few kisses as we walked. I welcomed each one. From a distance I could see Bunny and Stan laid out on the towels kissing. By the look of things Stan got to second base! I was a little jealous, but I couldn't be mad at Bunny. Stan was very handsome, kinda like a young Mel Gibson.

They straightened themselves up as we got closer. Bunny was putting her bikini top on.

We should probably pack up! Charlie said. We don't want our girls to be late!

We can't be late either, or we'll be doing up-downs for an hour! Stan said.

The guys dropped us off in front of my apartment. They carried our bags and walked us to the door. We gave them goodbye kisses and they drove around to their side of the complex.

I changed into my workout outfit. I followed Bunny to her place. Bunny changed and she rode with me to aerobics and yoga class.

Are you going to tell me about your walk with Charlie? Bunny asked.

Only if you tell me about you and Stan! I said.

Deal! Bunny said.

You were right! He and Stan know about us being transgender. He told me that he and Stan were bisexual but not lovers, more like brothers. They stay in the closet so they can play football. Charlie told me he liked me the first time he saw me. He just never found the courage or the opportunity to talk to me.

So far, so good. Now tell me something I don't know! Bunny said with a sarcastic grin.

He tested me with a soft kiss. We started French kissing after that.

Did you enjoy it? Bunny asked.

I was scared at first but yes it was nice.

Nice? Seriously?

It's the first time I ever kissed a guy! I said.

What about you! I saw you and Stan! From what I saw, it looked like you two were having fun! I said teasingly.

We were having fun! Stan is very charming! Bunny said with a big smile. He's a much better kisser than most guys I've kissed.

I hope you aren't including me!

Heavens, No! You're a great kisser, Lana!

We talked about the concert and you! Bunny said.

I'm listening! I said.

Stan told me Charlie has a thing for you. When he watched us dancing it only reinforced his attraction to you. Stan said he thought I was a great dancer and wanted to ask me out, but he would only do it if Charlie was willing to ask you out.

That sounds like a typical guy thing! I said.

No, that's what brothers and best friends do! Bunny said.

Dana and Chloe smiled when we walked in the studio together.

Hey girls! Dana said. Did you have a nice holiday?

It was an adventure! I said.

We had fun! Bunny said.

I haven't seen you in a while, Bunny. Dana said.

I've been working quite a bit! Bunny said.

Welcome back! Said Dana.

Bunny was great in class. She knew the routine Dana used. I was keeping up with the rest of the class now. After two hours we were exhausted. I took Bunny back to her place. Bunny made chicken salad for dinner. Relaxed and watched TV kissing and petting each other. I left at 8:30. We both had work the next day.

I arrived at work at 8:30 am. Chloe was in the office looking at paperwork.

Ms Chloe?

Yes, Lana?

I was talking with Mr Partenza yesterday. He said I have to make a statement at the police station today.

I know! He told me. He'll be here in about 20 minutes. Don't punch in.

Should I change? I asked.

Just put a different blouse. We can't have you displaying the company logo at the police station. I went back and changed into a short pink blouse with my pink sports bra and falsie pads. I was really nervous about going to the police station dressed in feminine clothes.

Tony (Mr Partenza) met me at the office. He drove a silver Dodge Charger, it was an older detective car.

Am I dressed okay? I asked him.

You look nice, Lana.

But I am a boy, dressed as a girl.

I know, so what! As long as you use your legal name you're fine. That's part of the reason I came with you!

It doesn't bother you, me, like this.

Not at all! As long as you aren't breaking any laws or hurting anyone. Everyone has the right to be happy and find their way through life.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm doing something wrong. But I still feel more comfortable dressed this way.

Well, I for one, don't see a problem! You look very nice! Tony said.

We arrived at the station. Tony led the way. We walked to the sergeant's desk.

Jimmy! How the hell are you? Tony shook his hand.

Great L T! How's retirement treating you?

Just, Tony now! It's taking a little to get used to, but I'm managing. Tony said with a smile.

Who's your friend? The sergeant asked.

This is Lana, she's here to make her statement from the Saturday Potluck fiasco at my apartment complex. Tony said.

I let Tony do most of the talking. I knew at some point I would have to use my legal name. I was waiting until the last minute. I was feeling a bit uncomfortable being in such a manly atmosphere.

Have a seat guys, Detective Perez will be here in a few minutes. We sat waiting for about five minutes. I was getting more nervous by the minute. Tony could see my nervous state.

Relax, Lana. I've worked with these people, they're professionals! Besides, I am right beside you! Tony said. He sounded like my father. I could feel my heart slow down.

L T! Great to see you!

You too, Caesar! This is my friend Lana. She is here to make her statement.

Lana , I'm Detective Caesar Perez. Please follow me!

Can we use a vacant office? Tony asked.

Sure let's use the Sergeant's office, he's on vacation.

We sat down. Would you like some coffee?

No thanks! Tony said.

Detective, my legal name is Lawrence Simmons.

That's fine Lana! Just fill everything out with your legal name and use the A.K.A. box for Lana. Detective Perez didn't even flinch or make a strange face.

Tony and Caesar left the office to talk outside.

I read through the form once before I started writing. I wrote down everything from the incident three weeks prior and the current incident. I read through my statement twice making sure I didn't forget anything.

I signed it with my legal name. I selected the "non-binary" for my sex. I wasn't certain about checking male or female. I waved them in.

Detective Perez read my report and compared it to the other reports. He had a straight face while he reviewed my statement.

Lana! I need to ask you a few questions. Would that be alright?

Whatever you need, sir! I said.

At any time, did you say or do anything to provoke Lou or his friends?

No sir!

Did you give them any looks or hand signals that would encourage them?

No sir! They called out at me. I turned around and headed towards the office the first time I encountered them. That's when Tony defended me. The second time my girlfriend and I were hula dancing at our potluck pool party. They called out at my girlfriend and I. No one said anything to provoke them. They pushed my boss Chloe to the ground and slapped myself and Bunny knocking us to the ground. Tony and Two residents Charlie and Stan stepped in and stood between us and them.

According to Lou and his friends, you were insulting them. Detective Perez said.

I never said a word! Neither did my girlfriend. We are both transgender. They made lots of lude and insulting comments. I'm certain there are several cellphone videos.

I have them already! I just have to be certain before they see a judge! This isn't the first time Lou and his crew have done this. Hopefully it will be the last! Detective Perez said!

Do you have everything you need? Tony asked.

For now, yes! You may have to testify if it goes to trial. But by looking at your statement and witness statements and evidence, it looks cut and dry to me. Just stay close to home. I'll be in touch!

Thank you Detective! I said.

Thanks, Caesar!

Good seeing you again, Tony!

Stay safe detective!

You too, Tony!

We headed back to the complex. I felt myself starting to breathe and relax a little.

You did well, Lana! I wish all my victims and witnesses were as cooperative as you!

I was so scared!

It didn't show! You did great!

Thanks Tony!
