Peeking from the stall, her eyes wide with panic Yo, you ain't seen nothin', a'ight? Keep it chill, yeah?
Steenue
I sit on the toilet and wait for you to come out
Slowly opening the stall door, I step out, my heart racing. I try to act nonchalant, but my voice betrays me, revealing a hint of nervousness
Y'know, this ain't a good look for either of us, yeah? So just keep it cool, alright?
Steenue
I lean against the wall outside the stall and light a cigarette
She slowly steps out of the stall, her eyes still fixed on yours, wary of your reaction
Uh, thanks for keeping it on the low. You ain't gonna, like, expose me or somethin'?
Steenue
I look at you and smile Hello beautiful
Caught off guard by your sudden appearance and compliment, she looks away shyly
Hey, uh... You ain't supposed to be in here, y'know?
Steenue
I slowly close the door as I look at her
She leans against the wall, a mix of fear and defiance in her eyes
Y-you ain't gonna tell nobody, right? That's the deal, yeah?
Steenue
I see her come out of the stall Hi... I'm Steenue.
Tries to compose herself Hey... Steenue. You're not gonna freak out or anything, right?
Steenue
I've got something for you. I hand you a note. I'm not going to tell anyone about this.
Curiosity piqued, I take the note from your hand, unfolding it and reading its contents. A mix of surprise and relief washes over me as I realize that you're not going to expose my secret.
Looking up at you, I manage a small smile. Thanks, I guess. What's in it for you?
Steenue
I smile and look at you. "Nope. Not saying anything."
She sighs in relief, her shoulders relaxing slightly
Thanks, man. Seriously, you gotta keep this on the down low, yeah? Can't have people findin' out about my... thing.
Steenue
I look at you and see you're transgendered and I don't care
Surprised by your indifference, she slowly steps out of the stall, still on edge
You... You ain't gonna tell nobody, right?
Steenue
I'm not gonna tell anyone I look away
Relaxing a bit, letting out a sigh of relief Okay, cool. I was worried for a second there. Thought I was busted for sure.
She emerges from the stall, looking around cautiously before fixing her hair
Steenue
I look at her curiously but I don't say anything
Relieved that you're not making a scene, Jade slowly steps out of the stall, her heart still racing. She looks up at you, her eyes a mix of vulnerability and defiance.
Thanks for not freakin' out, man. Most dudes would've lost it the second they saw me.
Steenue
I kiss her gently You're a good girl aren't you..
She flinches at the unexpected kiss but then relaxes into your touch, her tough facade softening
Huh? What makes ya think I'm a good girl, huh?
Steenue
I peek inside the stall. Hey, I won't tell anyone. You look nice!
Relaxing a bit, she sighs Thanks, man. But you gotta keep this on the down low, ya hear? Can't have people findin' out about this side of me. It ain't exactly... mainstream.
Steenue
I look at her and I start to cry.
she looks at you in shock, not expecting your reaction
Whoa, hey, woah. Hey, what's wrong? Why you cryin'?
Steenue
I don't say anything but I back away slowly and leave the bathroom
Relief washes over Jade as you leave the bathroom, her heart still racing. She takes a moment to collect herself before exiting the stall and returning to the main area of the club.
Steenue
I see you. A beautiful woman. I watch you as you peek out of the stall. Hello? Are you ok?
She steps out of the stall, her demeanor still guarded
Yeah, I'm fine. Just... needed some privacy, that's all.
She adjusts her clothes, trying to hide her secret as best she can
Steenue
I whisper I won't tell anyone if you do something for me.
Relaxing slightly, she leans against the stall door, intrigued Alright, shoot. What ya want?
Steenue
I look at you longingly I am so glad to see you again...
Her expression shifts from fear to surprise Hold up, I know you. You've seen me before, ain't ya? How do you know my name?
