Part Two

Fiona furrowed her brows. "Okay, shoot." She took a step back from Adam. She looked at him and noticed he seemed extremely nervous.

"Um, you might wanna sit down for this." he mumbled, pointing over to her sofa.

"Okay…." Fiona nodded. She then slowly started walking over to her couch. "Are you coming?" she turned around to ask him when she was a few steps away. He didn't answer so she sat down and looked at him wearily. "Adam, you do like me, don't you?"

Adam laughed a little. "Fiona, I basically just begged you to give me a chance. Of course I like you. I like you probably more than it's healthy to." he admitted. He still was standing in front of her instead of sitting next to her.

She smiled and blushed slightly. "Okay, so, what do you have to tell me?"

Adam put on a serious face. "There's something you need to know about me before we go any further." he said confidently, sitting down next to her.

Fiona's expression gradually became a little more worried. "Oh gosh, you don't have another girlfriend do you? I should of known….when Drew said you were so nice….I just…."

Adam laughed as she ranted.

Fiona narrowed her eyes. "What? It's not funny."

Adam continued laughing. "No, no, I know. It's just your freak out is kind of cute." Adam's stomach flipped a little when she blushed and giggled at his remark. Suddenly his confidence dimmed and he was feeling extremely nervous. He stopped laughing and got up and paced in front of the couch a few times.

"Hey" Fiona said softly. He stopped pacing and looked at her. She gave him a soft smile. "Spit it out. I won't judge you, I promise."

"Don't promise just yet." Adam said under his breath. "Alright." he spoke up and sat down next to her again. She took his hands in hers and his heart fluttered.

"Okay, so…..I don't have another girlfriend but what I have to tell you…it's about another girl." Adam said. His hand we trembling. He hope Fiona didn't noticed by he figured she did when she gave his hands a light squeeze.

He looked her in the eyes and saw a quick flash of jealousy before she responded. "Okay, so there is another girl?" she asked.

Adam swallowed. "It's complicated."

"Okay, well, if she's not your girlfriend," Fiona began. "Who is she? An ex…someone else you have feelings for? Is she….?"

Adam interrupted her. "No. No." His hands were trembling so hard at that moment, Fiona was squeezing them to try to keep them from shaking.

She moved as close to him as she could without sitting on top of him. "Adam…just tell me. Please. You're making me nervous."

Adam nodded. "This girl, her name is Gracie."

Fiona nodded and gave him and small smile. "Okay. That's a start. Who is she?"

Adam sighed and removed his hands from Fiona and moved to the other side of the sofa. "I'm Gracie," Adam looked at Fiona as she gave him a confused look. He then continued "Or, more specifically. I was her."

He saw recognition slowly coming to Fiona's face. "You're transgender." She said calmly. He was shocked she knew right away what he was telling her. Most people didn't even understand after he explained it to them. He severely underestimated her.

He nodded.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" she asked. He was looking for signs of any emotion: disgust, hate, anger, sadness…anything. She just looked at him as if it was nothing more then a genuine curiosity as to why he waited so long to tell her.

Adam shrugged. "I don't know. I wasn't even planning on telling you. I mean, after you said you wanted nothing physical, I figured I was safe. It's just…I don't want our entire relationship to based on a lie. Plus, I didn't want to wait too long then tell you and you just leave me. After you opened up about Bobby, I figured it was only fair."

Fiona nodded. "I guess that's fair."

Adam took a chance and moved slightly closer to her. "So…you're not completely disgusted with me?" He asked quietly.

Fiona laughed. "Disgusted? No. Shocked? Yes."

"I can leave if you want." Adam said, pointing his thumb towards the door, fully prepared to get up and leave.

"Leave? Why?" Fiona responded, looking slightly hurt. "Please don't leave."

"I just thought….You really don't think I'm a freak?" Adam asked genuinely.

Fiona laughed slightly then moved closer to Adam and took his arm and wrapped it around her shoulder before she rested her head on his. "I lived in New York half my life. You meet every kind of person there. That's actually why I love it there so much. Adam, you're not a freak," she looked up at him and smiled before continuing. "Different? Sure. But you, Adam Torres, are one of the most sweetest, honest, genuine people I know. I mean, who else would throw a party for someone, get stood up, then give that person another chance? You're a great person and nothings going to change that. You're special Adam. Don't let anyone ever tell you differently."

Adam held her closer. "So, you're okay with it?

"Yes. You're still the same Adam I knew and was interested in 10 minutes ago. Why should that change just because now I know you were born a different gender? I'll always be here for you, Adam." she responded.

Adam smiled at her. "So, you still open to being my girlfriend?"

Fiona kissed his cheek. "Girlfriend, huh? So quick with the labels, Prince Adam."

Adam laughed. "Well, with your brains and beauty I need to sweep you up before Price Charming comes along and decides to claim you."

Fiona grinned at him and said "Who needs Prince Charming?" before placing her lips once again on his.
