Jen found her dad in the living room and told him that she was heading to Suzy’s house for a bit. He didn’t mind and Jen set out. Suzy only lived a few blocks away. Jen sent a quick text to let her know she had left, then made her way down the sidewalk.
It wasn’t quite noon yet, but the sun was high in the sky and there was a warm breeze. Jen smiled as she walked. She had no idea what she was in for, but felt optimistic. It only took a few minutes for her to traverse the neighborhood and find her friend’s house. Jen stepped onto the pouch and rang the doorbell. Suzy’s mom invited her in.
Jen stood in the doorway while Suzy’s mom called, “Suzy, your girlfriend’s here.”
Jen blushed when she heard the phrase. She had nearly forgotten about their apparent relationship status.
Suzy looked over the banister, “Jen! Come on upstairs.”
She appeared to be in a good mood. Jen stepped past her mom and climbed the stairs.
“Thanks for coming over.” Suzy chimed as Jen entered her room.
Jen returned the greeting as Suzy pulled the bedroom door shut behind them.
Jen was about to speak again, but Suzy quickly pushed her hand over her mouth and said, “Shh... Don’t say anything... I want to tell you something first. No talking until I’m finished... Alright?”
Jen’s mouth hung partially open as Suzy slowly withdrew her hand. Jen was silent, more so out of surprise than protest. Suzy wasn’t usually so direct.
“OK... You cursed me. I’m the proud owner of two vagina's now. I also know all about your curse. My friends and family have told me things that I’m sure never happened.”
Suzy sounded a bit to serous and Jen worried that she was having the same problem as her sister.
“Jen, for the longest time, I’ve kept a big secret. Something I wasn’t even willing to share with you.”
“That secret is that I’m into girls. I’m a lesbian.”
“The cat is definitely out of the bag. Everyone seems to know even though I never officially came out. In fact, my parents seem perfectly fine knowing that you’re my so-called girlfriend.”
“I was scared at first, then pissed off... Then happy.”
“Jen, I’ve never been so happy.”
Tears began to form in her eyes.
“It feels like a huge weight has been lifted.”
“I’m gay and I’m proud of it. My parents still love me, my friends don’t mind at all.”
Jen wanted to say something. She opened her mouth to speak...
“WAIT!, I’m not finished yet...” Suzy yelped.
“Jen, you’re bisexual now. Supposedly we’ve been going out for years, but you and I both know that we were just friends until Thursday.”
“I can’t lie. Cursed or not, I had a lot of fun in that equipment room.”
“Jen... You are my best friend and we’ve been through a lot together.”
"Truth is, I've loved you for a long time. Long before the curse. I just couldn't tell you the truth until now."
“I... I really do want to be your girlfriend. I want to play with that awesome tongue of yours. I want to share everything with you. I want to be so much more than a friend...”
Suzy blew out a deep breath and wiped the tears from her eyes before saying, “OK, that’s the jist of it... I won’t ask you do to anything you’re uncomfortable with... I just needed you to know how I really felt...”
Jen was silent for several seconds while she processed the confession. She realized that she felt something for Suzy as well. The only thing that prevented them from taking it further than a friendship was Jen’s sexuality. Since that was out the window, she had no reservations about embracing their relationship...
