RANSVESTIA

As I usually do, I followed 'Miss' Evans into the examining room. "How are you?" he asked. "Does the doctor want me to strip?" The provocative way he said it, his hand with its dark red nails tritely perched on his hip, was too much for me. I blushed and would have left. "Hey, don't leave. I'm sorry," he said. "I shouldn't be so stupid as to put you on." He sat up on the examining table with an easy jump showing me that he was wearing maroon panties. "Tell me, have you got someone to share with you yet?"

"No," I said without thinking. "It looks like I'll be moving out just as soon as I can."

He looked at me for a moment, his dark red lips pursed. "You don't really want to move," he said. He spoke so softly and huskily, just like a woman, that I couldn't have told the difference, or the reason why he spoke that way, if I hadn't known.

I hesitated a bit. I didn't really want to get into a discussion with this, well, this, this fairy, I suppose I was thinking. "No," I said briefly, and turned off to the chart that showed his measurements taken by Dr. Lewis at the earlier examination. They were pretty impressive, too, for a woman. But for a man? I think I must have shuddered.

He couldn't have seen me because he was going on. "I haven't found anywhere suitable either. Seems I can't find a place anywhere people will just leave me alone, everywhere I go, people always have plans for me." He began to take off the boots, the zipper rasping sharply as he sighed. "I just want a place with a room to myself where no one will bother me."

Despite myself, I was curious. "What do you do for a living?" I asked.

He smiled, even, pearly-white teeth showing between the dark lipstick. "Oh, I model quite a bit," he said. And I dance whenever I need quick money. But mostly I just live on the income from the savings my mother left me-which doesn't make me rich, I assure you."

"No sugar daddies:" I must have made a terrible sneer.

"A shadow passed over his pretty face. His made up eyes looked darkly at me. "No," he said softly with a sigh.
