“Mikey said there was a Soho’s here, can we go in there?” Frankie asked and I nodded, showing him the way. I t was down two flights of stairs at the back of the mall, in its basement along with the art store, the record and rock music store, the tattoo and piercing parlour, the stargazer cosmetics and hair studio, the instrument shop and a shop dedicated to retro and band merch.
“Wow.” Frankie gasped when I showed him- very little people come down here, only people like us. By that I mean the people who are stereotyped as ; emo, punk, Goth, grebo or rockabilly for their style or taste in music.
“Come on then, if you need a new pair of jeans.” I smirked and he blushed.
“How much of that conversation did you hear this morning?” He gasped.
“ Only up until the part where you said you wanted me to understand that I’m beautiful and you want me to show that.” I said and he returned to a more normal colour.
“Phew, that could’ve been awkward.” He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at me. What does he mean ‘that could have been awkward’? What was going on? I smiled back and decided that I’d ask Mikey later.
“Wow! So many jeans, so little time!” Frankie squealed as he looked at the many jeans that were hung from racks, the walls, stacked up or sprawled in boxes everywhere. Soho’s is a small shop with a lot of clothes, and very cool clothes too might I add.
“Hey Gerard, can I help you?” Christina asked, she’s Ray’s girlfriend and she accepts me, they’ve been together since the start of High school and though I don’t see her much, she is a pretty cool person.
“Cool! Gerard has friends!” Frankie shouted and I blushed. “I’m Frank, by the way.” He added as an after thought.
“Oh, um, I’m Christina, call me Chris. I’m Ray’s girlfriend.” She explained and came out from behind the counter to give me a hug, I hugged back gratefully.
“I haven’t seen you in ages! You’ve been holing up in that basement of yours again haven’t you?” She asked and I nodded, feeling bad.
“I got sacked from my job at HMV.” I said, looking down.
“What! Why?” Chris asked me, frowning.
“The customers were complaining that they didn’t want to be served by a cross dresser who can’t even be bothered to buy women’s clothes and just wears a huge padded bra.” I sighed, scuffing the toes of my shoes on the concrete floor.
“Aw, Gee, that’s awful!” She gave me another tight hug.
“It’s no big deal.” I laughed darkly, “Remember High School? I think I’ve had worse.” She shuddered but chuckled all the same.
“Right, let’s help Frankie find some jeans.” She turned around to face Frank, who was looking at the ripped up jeans at the back, “Hey Frankie!” She shouted and he turned around. “Do you mind if I call you Frankie, it’s just-“ Frank cut her off.
“There was an evil guy in high school called Frank?” She nodded, looking confused. “Yeah, me and Gee were talking in bed last night, he explained, so yeah, you can call me Frankie.” He said and turned back around. Chris turned to me and gawped and pointed at Frankie, then back at me, mouthing “Are you together?” I shook my head and she frowned so I pulled out my phone and text her.
‘ Mikey’s friend, came home with him for Summer. Nightmares.’ I text her
‘Is he gay though?’ She text back
‘He’s bi’ I replied.
‘He’s hot’
‘I know! XD’ I sent and she smirked.
‘Go for it. He likes you ;)’ she text.
‘ He went bra shopping with me?’ I text back.
‘ He DEFINITELY likes you, not even your Mum or Mikes do that XD’ She text and I nodded to her just as Frank came out of the changing room with a pair of ripped up black skinnies on.
“What do you think Gee?” He asked uncertainly and I grinned.
“That’s hot. Turn around.” I commanded and he did. “Yup, nice ass in them. I’d get them if I were you.” I commented and he turned around and grinned.
“Okay, is it okay if I keep them on Chris?” He asked and she nodded.
“That’s fifteen quid then.” She said.
“Um, the label said nineteen?” I don’t think it was meant to be a question, but Chris rolled her eyes.
“Mates rates, duh! This is my store honey!” She laughed, her auntie used to run it but handed over the reigns to Chris when she had left school.
“Awesome.” Frankie grinned and flicked two notes at her which she shoved in the till.
“Now, Gee. Time to get you something fucking hot!” He smirked and I shook my head.
“Frankie, if I promise to let you raid my wardrobe and throw out all the crap stuff will that be okay? Because I don’t have much money left after them bras and I’m going to have to feed you and Mikes all weekend because Mom’s gone to Gramma’s. “ I told him and he sighed, but nodded. “I’ve got enough for a T-shirt, so you pick it and I’ll buy it and wear it.” His eyes lit up.
“Will you change into one of the bras as well?” He asked and I nodded as he raced off to find me a shirt.
“Have the cost of sports bras rocketed or something or did you just buy one of every colour?” Chris asked and raised her eyebrows.
“I’m afraid that’s not the case, look in there.” I threw my bag at her and she opened it, her eyes going wide and a smile spread across her dainty pale features. Her blue eyes shone with tears when she looked up at me.
“Oh Gerard!” She sighed and hugged me. “I always hoped you’d do this and have the confidence to embrace what you are, but I didn’t want to push you into it! I’m so happy!” She squealed and gave me back the bag.
“Hey Gee! Look at what I’ve picked for you!” Frankie called from behind me and I turned around and went into a gormeathon. It was a green Day Awesome as F**k T-shirt and it was short, small and had rips at the back and the sleeves were frayed at the end, just as the hem of the shirt was.
“Wow.” I squeaked and he threw the shirt at me, straight into my face and then ran up to me, turned me round and shoved me into the changing room and closed the door behind us.
“If you two make a mess in there your cleaning it up afterwards!” Chris warned, though she was only half joking.
“Okay then, top off and drop the bra.” Frankie said and I blushed, doing as I was told.
“What bra?” I asked and he picked out a black and deep purple lace one. I slipped it on and fastened it as Frankie adjusted the shoulder straps for me, for the first time I wasn’t worrying about my self-consciousness enough to notice the callous on Frankie’s fingers.
“You play guitar?” I asked as I pulled on the green day shirt. It finished just as my black skinny jeans started and if I lifted my arms up, showed my sharp hipbones. The shirt was grey and had the pink dead bunny emblem on it as well as Green Day- Awesome as F**k written in the style of dripping pink spray paint sprayed over a picture of Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt jumping around on stage in front of Tre Cool thrashing on the drums.
“Yeah, actually. How’d you know?” He asked as I turned to examine my back.
“You have the same callous on your fingers as Mikey and Ray- Mikey plays bass though.” I explained and I grinned at Frankie- the shirt did actually look alright on me and it wasn’t too tight so I didn’t feel uncomfortable in it either. There were three cuts along the back, making it look as if a giant tiger had come and ripped it’s claws through the back. My shirt showed parts of the deep purple and black lace bra straps which contrasted amazingly against my pale back.
“I love it, Frankie!” I said and he hugged me tight against him.
“To be fair, you do look incredible in that.” He laughed and let go of me, I shoved my old bra and top into the bag and slung it on my shoulder, walking out of the small changing room.
“Hey Chris, what do you think?” I asked and she smiled broadly.
“Wow!” She breathed and I chucked her the tenner I owed her for the shirt. My phone buzzed and I pulled it out of my pocket, reading the message, it was from Mikey.
‘Hey bro, how’d shopping go? I’m at home with Ray and Bob, wanna hang out with us? Please bring pizza. ;D xxx love you Gee.’ I laughed and text back.
‘Sure, we’re coming home now and it went great XD xxx love you too.’ I pressed send and slid my phone back into my pocket.
“Come on Frankie, time to go home, we’ve got to get pizza on the way- Mikey’s hungry.” He and Chris laughed- Mikey is well known for his loving of pizza and sushi, he thinks he could eat his own body weight in sushi, and we all believe him.
“OK, see you soon though Gerard?” Chris asked and came over to hug me again. “You look great.” She whispered in my ear before releasing me.
“Come on Frankie.” I grinned, “Race ya.”
“Oh it’s on Way!” He shouted and we pelted out of the shop and up the stairs as Chris laughed like a maniac, we got a few strange looks and shouts of horrid things as we ran to my van. Frankie beat me because I had to slow down, my boobs were killing!
Okay, I wont be able to update till Tuesday cos I'm on holiday in a tent with no electric and no internet and the only contact with the outside world being a shitty mobile phone which doesn't work too good anyway.
Please R&R and I'll see ya soon.
