Born to Be Ch. 05

That was all, just a passing sweep of the eyes, but it was enough for Ashley to practically dive into Selena's armpit and try to hide his face from the world. Letting out a barely audible distressed squeal as he did so.

Selena didn't react to this openly, she just gave his hand a little reassuring squeeze to try and help calm him down. Not drawing any further attention to him by turning and asking him to calm down or talk him up or anything, just giving him a subtle little sign that she's here and he's okay.

Ashley tried to take a few breaths and relax, it was just tough to considering everything. He just needed to get through the night, that was all it took, if he could manage to make it through this one outing, then he felt like he might be able to do it again. Maybe! Just as long as everything went smoothly and nobody pointed and laughed at him when they found out he was a boy dressed as a girl...

Meanwhile, Selena gave the appropriate information required to allow them to join the dinner party reservation and the hostess smiled again, "Very well! Right this way ladies!" She said happily.

"Ladies..." Ashley felt his insides tremble...

The pair was then led through the greeting area and around the dance floor, Selena had a booth reserved for them and the hostess took them to the center right side of the open restaurant.

It wasn't hard to recognize the first face that hopped up with enthusiasm at the sight of the two of them. "Hi guys!" Vanessa stood and waved at the two, showing off her own attire. An off-white cocktail dress that was cut off at mid-thigh showing off her shapely legs and hugged her gorgeous curvy figure. She also wore a pair of high heels on her feet the matching color of her dress.

The hostess giggled and gestured to the table, "Ehhm...well here's your table miss." As if it wasn't obvious enough.

Selena gave her a smile and a shrug anyway, "Thank you, and hey there you!" You she said approaching her best friend with opened arms. Vanessa slid out of the booth and quickly closed the distance between them, opening her own arms as well and embracing the taller woman in a tight hug.

"God, gonna keep us waiting all night girl?" The smaller Latina teased as they pulled back from each other. Planting a quick kiss on their cheeks before parting fully.

"Oh I was ready an hour ago, I was waiting on a certain someone though to decide what she wanted to wear." Selena did a comical head roll and allowed her eyes to fall upon the small 'girl' at her back. Still somewhat cowering behind her larger form a bit, but emerging slightly at the familiar face of Vanessa.

He gave an embarrassed half-wave, "Hi."

Vanessa grinned, "Oh my Gosh Ashley! You look so good!" She said and nearly tackled the young boy in a hug.

"Ayyyee!" He yelped in surprise from the sudden assault, but the surprise attack actually served to break down his frightened little kitten demeanor a bit. Especially since it was a pretty girl with very large breasts squishing into his chest that was the one hugging him. "Ahehehe...it's nice to see you too Vanessa." He said quietly, wrapping his arms around her to return the hug. "You look great."

She pulled away from him and looked Ashley up and down, inspecting the boy from head to toe in his date night attire. "Nice choice hun, I was worried you were gonna show up in something boring. I'm glad you're learning to show off what you got." She winked, thankfully though since some blush was already applied to Ashley's cheeks, nobody could see the natural one that threatened to turn then pink. "Well come on! Let's introduce you!"

Selena nodded at that, "Yeah, I want you to meet some of my other friends. That way you don't have to think I only hang around with this wack job every day of my life." She playfully elbowed her shorter friend and reached for Ashley's arm to tug him over to the table in the booth. There were three other women already sitting in the small U seat surrounding the table. All of them looked to be in a similar age group of mid-to-late twenties. And all were...if Ashley was being honest...pretty freaking hot! She went down the line from left to right, with all the girls eagerly sitting up to introduce themselves to the new lady joining girls night. "First up, we have Carly right here, my long time friend and stationary bike instructor."

This woman had short raven black hair and high cheekbones, very light, crystal blue eyes dressed in a blue tank top and white mini-skirt. She wasn't bulky of build, but seemed very lean, hence the stationary bike instructor part Ashley guessed. She waved and held her hand out to greet him, "Hi Ashley, it's nice to meet you!" She spoke in a sweet alto voice.

Ashley felt some anxiety threaten to build up as she extended her hand for a handshake. Because Vanessa knew that Ashley was a boy, claiming that her and Selena shared everything because they were best friends, and Ashley did believe that. However, did things get shared with these other women too?

Did all of them know that he was in disguise as a girl? Crossdressing to satiate the burning fetish both he and his girlfriend had hard-ons for?

He didn't know, but he was sure Selena would tell him soon or things would just have a way of revealing themselves as they did with Vanessa.

Until then though, he played it off, swallowing the lump of nerves his his neck and extended his hand to shake Carly's, "It's nice to meet you too." He did make an effort at first to make his voice go a little bit higher...but he decided to drop that almost immediately after trying it. Based on the noticeably perturbed look Vanessa and Selena gave him hearing him talk that way.

His own voice was effeminate enough, and it would do for now.

The following two girls were introduced as, Amy and Jess, a blonde and another raven haired woman. Both it turns out knew Selena from before work, but still worked in some form at Lunar Lifters. Selena as it turns out, loves to hire people she's friends with, calling the phrase, 'never mix business and pleasure' bullshit. Amy handled a lot of paperwork and billing clients while Jess, short for Jessica, worked in their advertising branch. They both also wore dresses for this evening, but not on the sexy scale that Ashley was considering. Both appeared to be in cocktail dresses, low cut but of different colors. Red on Amy, and green on Jess.

Vanessa and Selena both took seats at opposite ends of the booth, but as Ashley went to sit down, he noticed that there was little to no room left available for him. Maybe he could fit on the edge if they all squeezed in, Lord knew he was tiny enough. But it didn't look like they planned to.

He looked to Selena with a bit of an awkward waddle in his stance as he didn't know what to do, but Selena just cocked a brow and asked, "Come on babe, take a seat." And she patted her lap.

"You know...I don't blame her as much for doing it...as I blame myself for not anticipating it..." Ashley rolled his eyes, of course she'd want him on her lap. And he wasn't exactly in any position to protest, nor did he have any real desire to. He'd sat on her lap before, during a movie/show binge or when they cuddled in a spooning position at night, that was practically sitting on her lap too. So it wasn't anything he hadn't been getting use to.

After an exaggerated eye roll, he flattened out his skirt and shimmied his way into the booth. Selen leaning back in the chair to give him all the space he needed and then looping her arm around his waist to hook him into her lap. His plump bottom plopping onto her strong thighs, and her arm remained around him like an unbreakable seatbelt. Clearly intent on not letting him get away any time soon.

"Ooooooouuu!" Vanessa teased like a nine-year old. "Look at the loooooove biiiirds."

"You silencio or you're covering the whole tip!" Selena retorted while Ashley's head tried to dip into his shirt like a turtle.

"Love birds...love?" Ashley thought for a moment, hearing that term.

Thankfully though he didn't have to dwell on it for too long as the woman Carly leaned forward again, "So Ashley! Tell us about you! Selena's been so secretive aside from saying you're the best thing that's ever happened to her." She smiled brightly.

"Wow, going right for it huh?" Selena replied, "Not even any small talk just going straight for the interrogation?"

"Yup!" Vanessa added, "You can't expect to keep your pretty new girlfriend locked away forever, we wanna knoooow eeeeeeverythiiing." She leaned her elbows on the table, clearly playing dumb since she already most likely knew everything.

But this did help reassure Ashley that the other three women were unaware that he was a boy. So that was the positive of the situation, however the negative was that all eyes were currently on him, waiting eagerly for him to spill the beans and tell them about himself. Or as he was posing...herself.

"Uhhm...w-well...I uhh..." Ashley stammered a bit, glancing around the dance floor to see if anybody else was watching him. His hands coming up to tug on a few strands of his brunette hair.

Selena's hand went to his thigh, "Hey don't worry about them, you don't have to tell them jack shit." She blatantly stated to their faces, earning a few fake shocked expressions from them, feigning offense. "All they need to know is you make me the happiest girl in the world, and if that's not good enough they can suck mah dick!" She finished off with maturely.

That caused the four girls to erupt into a giggle fit, even Ashley's shy demeanor softened at Selena's blunt and sexual humor. Ashley probably got a few extra giggles out of it though, knowing full well that he has sucked a couple of her said dicks in his time.

"Ohhh come ooon though." The blonde Amy spoke up, "Tell us sooomething. It's been years since this chick got into a relationship." She gestured to Selena, "Tell us the secret! What caused you to steal the heart of the unmovable Selena Mills?"

Selena wanted to face palm, she really needed to expand her circle of friends. "You guys couldn't have asked, what do you do for a living? Where'd you go to school or anything like that?"

Four nopes came almost in perfect unison at that.

Ashley thought about it for a second, feeling a little more relaxed now that he was pretty sure they hadn't seen through his disguise. He looked over his shoulder at Selena, who gave him a bit of a head shake, trying to inform him he didn't have to tell the girls anything if he wasn't comfortable with it.

So instead of buckling under pressure or shriveling into a nervous pile of train wreck, he did the only thing he could think of. Default to Selena's style of humor, "I sucked her dick?"

There was a pause at that, before suddenly the girls burst out into another fit of laughter, the three newcomers clearly oblivious to the seriousness that statement carried while Selena and Vanessa knew the truth.

It was actually kind of exciting to watch those three girls laugh off his response to their inquiry, while he, and the other two girls just quietly snickered at the dirty little secret his words held. Selena was actually even a bit surprised at his words. Never had she heard something so naughty escape Ashley's lips outside the bedroom.

Perhaps this new attire was emboldening him a bit as it was feminizing him. Either way, she liked where this night was going, and she liked his comment about sucking her dick even more. Already she was cycling through her armory of dildos in her head that she would be rewarding him with tonight...

After the little introductions between them, the first waitress finally arrived and took orders from the group. They continued to chat for a while until the drinks arrived first, Vanessa got a Shirley Temple and the other girls ordered some fruity looking alcoholic beverages as well. Ashley however had to settle for a soda since he was not legal to drink yet, Selena got one too so that he wouldn't feel too left out.

Eventually the meals arrived as well after a good long while of conversation between the group of girls and one...other girl.

Ashley was counting his lucky stars that he hadn't been found out, everyone seemed to buy his disguise and never once did anyone give him a funny or questioning look. As time went on and he talked more about himself, he grew more and more comfortable in his skin.

Leaning forward on the table and interacting in the conversation more, leaning into Selena's touches and shimmying to make himself comfortable in her lap rather than tucking into the crevices of her body to try and shield himself from the world. He told the girls about how they met, the job interview and the problem with his furniture sort of forcing them into a roommate situation that has so far worked out swimmingly on all accounts.

And they in return talked about their own lives, what Selena was like throughout the time they've known her and how she's been pretty much the same since childhood.

Selena didn't talk all that much though. She spent most of her time after introductions just hugging Ashley from behind, letting him know that she was here for him if he got overwhelmed or needed anything from her. And just watched him talk, getting acquainted with the girls and...from the looks of it, having a little fun.

They talked about how they've always wanted Selena to grab a cutie and she seemed to finally get the cutest one of all. Earning a sweet as candy giggle from Ashley, his little laugh making her heart sing. She loved watching him like this, watching the smile grow on his face. The worry from earlier about this outing in girly clothes just melting away as he held the conversation. Even among the little teases, and hints Vanessa threw in every now and again. About how she needed to find the 'boy version' of Ashley for herself, still made the boy in question laugh.

More than anything, this was the important part to Selena. Ensuring that Ashley would have fun, that he could dress like a sexy girl and keep up the charade with Selena to fuel their perverted nature, but it didn't have to be sexual one hundred percent of the time. They could just sit down with some friends and have dinner together like any other normal couple in the world.

It was working out, and both Ashley and Selena's worries were slowly drifting away.

The food was excellent as well, It was a bar and grill restaurant so they mostly served nice, thick, hearty foods. Juicy steaks, burgers and fries, ribs and the like, but for Ashley, he managed to hold back on the desire to eat a big fatty meal and ordered a nice chicken salad. While of course his girlfriend got a prime rib dinner. The others getting practically variations of each others meals, some light, some not and Vanessa was the star of the show getting a big double cheeseburger with curly fries.

"You go girl!" Ashley thought, that was something he was pleasantly surprised to see. You'd think that Selena and the others working in a fitness center would be more picky about their diets, but actually no! They all ate full meals here tonight, Ashley's was actually probably the lightest one. But then again he was also the smallest by at least several inches, the poor boys eyes were bigger than his stomach.

But that was something he appreciated even more in girls, when they didn't try to act like they didn't eat much to maintain a figure. He loved seeing Selena cut big portions off of that cooked medium rib off and stick them into her mouth, chewing mightily and happily at the flavor. A girl who eats is a girl he could cook big meals for! And Ashley did oh so love to cook...

Throughout the meal also, Selena and Ashley couldn't help but make some subtle displays of affection in front of the others, playfully stealing from each others plates and occasionally offering up their forks with a bite of food on the end to feed to each other. Earning either cute 'awws' of adoration from the trio, or bad porn music noises from Vanessa.

"Bow chicka bow wowww..." She teased after Ashley bit off a bite of meat from Selena's fork.

"I am about to chuck my plate at you bitch." Selena playfully threatened, only getting a maniacal laugh from the Latina in return.

Ashley was mostly unaffected by Vanessa's taunting now, far too wrapped up in the beauty cradling him from behind to care anymore. The same applied for Selena, Vanessa could be screaming at them with a megaphone to get a room and she could zone her out completely just by staring into Ashley's baby blues. She definitely planned to take him out on as many one on one dates as she could, visiting with friends and helping Ashley meet people was fun and all, but she couldn't wait to be alone with him again.

"God...this boy has got me weak..." She thought looking over his profile. He was so beautiful, so pretty and sweet, innocent and loving. She just wanted to wrap him up in her arms and never EVER let him was thinking about it briefly earlier, but now...she couldn't get that L word out of her head.

Every time she looked at him her heart sang, it was like she had never felt this way before! Nothing in the world mattered except the vision on her lap and the soft beat of the music in the atmosphere.

Music! The idea hit her right then like a lightbulb going off. They had almost completely finished their meals at this point, and she wanted to get a little alone time with Ashley. Not necessarily for anything dirty. Just for the two of them to get away from the peanut gallery, and the dance floor was only a few steps away.

What better way for the two to have fun and let loose like they're the only two people in the world?

"Ashley?" Selena nudged him on the shoulder with her chin.

"Mm?" He mumbled back, sipping the straw on his soda.

She chuckled at first, then asked him, "Would you like to dance?"

The straw made loud suction noises of the last few drops of soda being pulled up it as Ashley looked back at Selena. "What?"

"Do you wanna go dance?" She asked again.

This time though, the question seemed to take it's time settling into Ashleys head, processing through his brain for a moment, and then really sinking in after that steady step-by-step process. "D-dance?" He stammered, looking over to the dance floor, doing a quick head count of how many people were currently on it, then whipping his hair back around to look at Selena again. "Right...right now?"

She nodded, "Yeah now? Why not?" She tilted her head with an excited smile.

"Uuhh..." Ashley hesitated, he knew that dancing was a part of the theme tonight considering the location. But he had been having such a good time so far that he actually had forgotten about it. He wasn't against dancing, not at all, he just hadn't had much practice outside of the Just Dance game series. Plus he was hoping to have more time to mentally prepare himself before taking his shoes to the dance floor. "I...umm..."

Selena gave a quick eye roll hearing him stutter like he always did when he was nervous. Then decided to take the initiative. "Oh come on, don't knock it till you try it!" She said, scooting over in her seat so that she was making her way off the booth seat.

Ashley hopped in her lap as she did this and quickly translated what she was planning to do. "Wait, Selena uhh...I don't...I haven't danced very much." He admitted quickly as she shifted her butt off the seat causing Ashley to plop down onto it. But he wasn't going to be there for long if Selena had her way.

She stood over him and leaned down close, "Honey, every time I've suggested we try something, it ends up being pretty fucking amazing right?" She gave a little wink, clearly hinting at their butt stuff escapades.
