Curtis/Tracey sat sipping coffee trying not to feel self conscious. It was her first time out in public in a skirt and heels and she was still feeling out of place in her body. She had finally started to come to grips with the oddity of her situation. She knew that she was supposed to be Tracey, but she and Doctor John Frink could find no way to restore Tracey's former mind. What was left was the memories and personality of her boss Curtis. Curtis/Tracey struggled with trying to live a life that wasn't hers. He had to smile and put on a happy face as she saw the real Curtis retire and go with his wife Ellen on their trip to Europe they had been looking forward to for so long. She had to suffer through the awkwardness of having Curtis Jr. make a pass at her. Curtis/Tracey was speaking truthfully when she told C.J that he was, "Too much like family to go out with him." The only bright spot was the help that she had been gotten from Doctor Frink, John. He helped her from going completely crazy and convinced her that with the original Tracey gone she had a duty to live her life to the fullest in her memory. The side affect off all of this time they were spending together was that the rumors about them being a couple began to swirl. They both laughed at how funny that was and how people would react if they knew the truth about their situation. Then one night walking back to John's car after dinner, Curtis/Tracey felt a shiver. She found that she got cold much easier as a woman than she did as a man. She was just about to curse herself for forgetting her sweater when she felt John put his coat on her shoulders. For a second Curtis/Tracey was about to protest but she found herself sliding her left hand in to John's right. They walked in silence which carried over to the car ride. Curtis/Tracey got out of the car still wearing John's jacket. For a couple of days they avoided each other, John being a smart man he gave Curtis/Tracey her space. Curtis' male personality was in conflict with Tracey's female hormones, and the more she thought about it the more she realized that she was falling in love with John. She sat there trying to feel feminine and mulling what her next move would be when she heard some one using a bad Morgan Freeman impression say, "Get busy living, or get busy dying" She looked over her shoulder to see two friends chuckling at how bad the impression was, oblivious to the encouragement they had just given a stranger.
Curtis/Tracey was getting ready in a frenzy. She had called John and asked him to meet her for dinner and was determined not to chicken out now. She found the sexy underwear that she had been avoiding and picked out a red dress that would drive her crazy back when she was a man. She had shaved her legs, arm pits and eventually her pubic hair that she had let grow out. Now she was completely bare and there was no denying what she had between her legs now. Slipping on her dress she checked herself in the mirror one more time and headed for the restaurant as she wanted to beat John there.
John was about to walk past Curtis/Tracey when she called out to him, "Hey John, over here!" John was frozen in place by what he saw. He had been doing his best to not let his attraction to her interfere with his relationship with Curtis/Tracey and he was afraid that his impulsive move with the jacket the other day had driven her away. He was conflicted as well by knowing a mans psyche was in the body of the girl he had a crush on but after a while it just didn't seem to matter. "You look amazing!"John blurted as he fumbled for his chair. Curtis/Tracey laughed and blushed at the compliment. She then reached across the table taking John's hands in hers, "Before anything else happens I need to thank you for how supportive you have been. I would have never been able to make it this far without you. I know I have been avoiding you for the last couple of days, but I needed to really figure things out. I want to be the best Tracey I can be. I want to embrace this life and I can't see myself doing that without you in it in a serious way." She then leaned forward and kissed John hard and strong. John had a silly grin on his face and was dumbstruck. Tracey tapped his menu to bring him back to reality, "Now order something, dinner is on me tonight and I have a special present for you later." John found his voice, "Present?" Tracey gave him a sly look, "I'm not spoiling it now but there is a nice red bow on it and it is something I think we will both enjoy."
