Yesterday I woke up around 5am and just had to dress. I knew my wife would be asleep until at least 9am as this is here usual weekend routine.
Nothing special,light makeup and a maxi dress. Since it was early, I thought I should run out and get some coffee. I decided to drive somewhere outside my neighborhood just to avoid running into someone I knew.
Low and behold I walk in the door and there is a woman Celina I used to work with already in the shop sitting at her computer working at 7am. All I thought was walk ahead and place your order. We make eye contact and she gives a long look and that's it. For sure she knows I'm a crossdresser, but I hope that's it. I place my order and go wait. I look over and Celina is walking towards me. She comes right to me and says my male name"is that you?". I say yes.
She is smiling and hugs me and says"you look pretty good as a woman". She then invites me to sit down and catch up. So I do. I was nervous and a bit shaky. I could feel myself turning all shades of red. She grabs my hand and says "I'm totally fine with this, please don't be embarrassed". After that I felt at ease and we caught up for about an hour. it was nice, but I do worry it might get back to others I wouldn't want to know even though she assured me it wouldn't.
When I told my wife she said that what happened is the price I have to pay for wanting to dress in public.
