The phone rang, waking me up. I decided I needed to start going to bed earlier so I wouldn’t waste my mornings sleeping. I rolled over to pick up the phone and winced with pain as my breasts fell to one side. Into the phone I said, “Hello?”

The familiar voice of Steph said, “Hey, girlfriend. Did I wake you up again?”

“Yeah. Sorry,” I mumbled into the phone. “It’s not like I have to a job to go to every morning.”

Steph laughed and said, “In a way you do, Amber. Your job is to be Nathan’s girlfriend and to get ready for going to the Oscars with him. Dad wanted me to take you to the designer’s to pick your gown. They’ll need a few days to fit it. Then we need to rent you some expensive jewelry.”

“More shopping?” I groaned. “Does it ever end? And rent jewelry? Don’t you buy jewelry? Or rather, shouldn’t Nate buy me jewelry?”

Again Steph laughed, “Shopping end? Don’t be silly, girl! And yes. This jewelry you rent. Unless you have a hundred thousand or so to buy it. Dad doesn’t mind investing a few thousand in you, but no one is crazy enough to spend that kind of money unless they’re billionaires. And yes, if Nathan really loved you, he’d buy you diamonds. You might remind him of that.”

“I really don’t think he loves me,” I said seriously. “This is all for the sake of buzz, remember?”

“Just give him some time girl,” Steph laughed. “He’ll come around.”

“I’m not really a girl,” I said annoyed.

“Go look in the mirror.”

“Breasts don’t make you a woman.”

Sounding more than a little annoyed, Steph said, “Amber, why do you keep dropping into denial? You’re a girl in every way but one. I saw it in your face and your reaction when you finally got your boobs. You’re a girl, Amber! Embrace it. Enjoy it.”

“I don’t deny that I enjoy it, Steph,” I said. “I do. The emotional freedom alone makes me almost wish I could stay this way. But the rest of it is mostly superficial. Make-up, clothes, giggling with a friend and even kissing guys doesn’t make you a girl. Not to mention that I face a stark, cold reality every time I take a piss, even if I do it sitting down.”

Steph sighed heavily, “I’m going to make you a girl even if it takes Dad’s last dime! Get dressed, babe. I’ll be there in an hour to go get lunch, and then we’ll see about a gown.”

“Why can’t I just wear the dress I wore to the gala?” I asked.

“Are you crazy? You can’t wear a cocktail dress with that micro-skirt to the Oscars! You need something elegant. You need something to make Nathan look good standing next to you.”
