Partying With Friends

As I last left you, I was preparing for the upcoming weekend where Linda had invited 3 other couples over for dinner, with me going to be appearing in my feminine role.

Saturday morning I went grocery shopping for dinner supplies while Linda headed to the salon for a beauty regiment. I got home first and slipped out of slacks and sweater and into skirt and top. I spent an hour preparing the dishes that could be done in advance, then tidied up the house for our evening guests. I finished at the same time as Linda returned home, looking well pampered and groomed. I brought her a drink then headed back into the kitchen to prepare the rest of dinner. I finished with an hour left to get myself ready before our guests were due to arrive.

I wasn’t sure what I was suppose to wear for this, so I asked Linda, hoping it wouldn’t be my sexy French Maid uniform that I had worn to serve her girlfriends once before. Fortunately, she told me I could wear what I had on, just touch up my make-up and hair. I should point out that the three couples coming were our closest friends. The women had been at the party when I served as the maid, Anna’s husband, Tom, had seen me a couple of other times, and the other two men had seen me dressed as Beverly at the Halloween party. However, this would be the first time that I would be appearing before everyone in a relaxed (at least for them) atmosphere of dinner and drinks.

The first to arrive fortunately were Anna and Tom. After taking their drink orders I left the room to prepare them and to check on dinner. The other two couples arrived while I was out of the room so I was spared the door greeting humiliation. But that just meant that their first view of me was when I carried Anna’s and Tom’s drinks in and served them. I took the drink orders from Becky and Judy while their husbands, Ted and Jim, offered to give me a hand. I was quite nervous about being alone with them for some reason. These are guys that I have known for years and often played golf or poker with them. But this was the first time that they were alone with me while I was in femme mode.

As we walked over to the bar Jim complemented me on how nice I looked. Then Ted said that I shouldn’t be nervous as the three guys had discussed my crossdressing and saw nothing wrong with it because they realized how it was a part of me and that Linda was the driving force in my being ‘paraded’ in front of them so often.

“We just wanted to let you know that we are fine with it and you can relax around us. Feel free to dress as Beverly whenever you want. In fact, we’ve missed you at our golf outings and would love to have Beverly join us sometime,” Jim stated.

I almost broke into tears with that comment, but recovered in time and thanked them for their support. Then they really shocked me when each of them gave me a hug. I think that Jim even gave me a light kiss on the cheek, but I was too stunned by this display of support to really feel it. We took the drinks back into the living room to join the others.

I returned to the kitchen to prepare the dinner for serving. Linda came into the kitchen to check on dinner and to make sure I was alright after my talk with Ted and Jim. I told her what they had said and I could see her relax. She was worried that they might be teasing me and that wasn’t what the night was about.

Dinner consisted of a well prepared meal served with lots of teasing, talking, jokes being told, grins, laughter and complements. Only one negative incident occurred; my dessert failed. I’m not sure what I did wrong but it was soupy and uneatable.

More drinks followed as we played some games. Linda suggested that the teams should be gals against the guys, but Ted said that it wouldn’t be fair as the ‘guys’ would be outnumbered five to three. He had placed me on the gals side which I found flattering. Jim commented that we needed to separate the couples somehow so Linda jumped up and joined Jim, Ted, and Tom. No one objected so I found myself teaming up with Anna, Becky, and Judy. We had a great time and the comments and action became more suggestive as the drinks kept coming.

When one of us ‘gals’ answered our questions correctly, the four of us high-fived each other. However, things changed quickly on the ‘guys’ side. When Linda correctly answered a really difficult question Tom gave her a hug, followed quickly by the other two guys giving her a hug. The next round, instead of just a hug, Tom added a quick kiss on Linda’s lips which Jim and Ted just as quickly added to their congratulations. Each subsequent round the kisses became more prolonged, and I swear I saw Tom slip a little tongue in as well.

When Anna objected to the questionable display Linda replied that our team could feel free to do the same. We settled on hugs as no one felt comfortable with kisses.

After the games were over, we sat around talking and relaxing further, everyone having a good buzz on from the drinks. Becky stated that she hadn’t heard much about our Florida trip, other then about the game. She wanted to know what we had done for fun and about New Years Eve. Before we could respond, Jim asked if ‘Beverly’ had made an appearance there. They had known that we were staying with Darryl, but other then Anna, the rest knew nothing about Linda spending time with Darryl.

“Yes, Beverly had a great time in Florida,” Linda replied. “She spent time on the beach in a bikini (the guys wanted to see pictures of that, to which Linda said something about ‘next time’), and other then when we went to the game, Beverly was always around.”

“You mean you stayed dressed up the entire time, in front of your friend Darryl? What did he think of that?” Jim asked.

“Darryl had seen me before we went to Florida so he was expecting it,” I sheepishly replied.

“So what did you do on New Years Eve?” Becky asked again, prying for details.

Linda informed them that she and I put on our party dresses and enjoyed a night on the town. “So Darryl had two ladies to escort that night?” Becky asked, digging deeper.

“No, Darryl arranged a date for Beverly with his friend Roger,” Linda smiled as I watched Jim and Ted’s jaws drop.

“You had a date with a guy?” Jim asked with a bit of shock. “Did you kiss him at midnight?”

I just nodded ‘yes’, and hoped that Linda wouldn’t go into details. Fortunately, she left it with “Beverly and Roger enjoyed each other’s company several times that week. Darryl and I even joined them on Roger’s sailboat on our last day there.”

I could tell that the guys were surprised at this and wanted more details, but were polite enough not to pry further. I was really surprised that no one question Linda about her time with Darryl.

As I went to refill drinks for the final time that night, Jim suddenly appear beside me.

“Did you enjoy your dates with Roger?” he whispered as he stood close to me. I told him that Roger was nice and we enjoyed each other’s company. He stood starring at me for a long time and I wondered what was going through his mind. Suddenly he leaned towards me and kissed me on the lips, then picked up two of the drinks and walked back into the living room. I just stood there puzzled by what had just happened. Linda gave me a funny look when I rejoined them, wondering why I had not come back with Jim.

After everyone had left and I had picked up the house I met Linda in the bedroom. She was very pleased about how the evening had gone and was proud of the great job I had done. She asked me if it had been too much for me. I told her that it was difficult at first but after talking with Ted and Jim I relaxed and enjoyed it. She said that now that our friends know that there is no reason to keep Beverly hidden from them anymore and that I could expect being with them as Beverly a lot more in the future.

I told her about Jim kissing me and all she did was smile, saying nothing other then, “that’s nice. Good night.”

I guess that this means that I am finally ‘out’ as far as our friends go. I wonder what will happen next weekend when our families are together here for Easter dinner. I am hoping that Linda will be kind to me and take it easy on me with them around. But I am never sure what is going to happen.

Again, I love your comments and enjoy reading your blogs. Keep them coming.
