A few hours later I woke up and realized that I had fallen asleep. Julie must have also fallen asleep as she was still in my arms. I tried to get up with out waking Julie but that wasn't possible. She woke up and quickly put on her nightie so she could walk me to the door.
When we entered the living area we found Steve kneeling on the floor naked with his upper torso laying on the coffee table. Tessa was right behind him and she was slowly moving back and forth as if she was fucking him from behind. When they saw us Steve asked if we wanted to join in. Julie told him not to be an ass as she pushed me toward the front door. When we were out side I tried to kiss Julie but she turned and all I got was her cheek.
When I woke up the next morning I received a call from Julie telling me that Professor Williams had returned and I was expected to be in his office by nine thirty. I thanked her and tried to talk to her but Julie told me she was to busy and we would talk later.
I worked all day with Professor Williams and I had lunch with him and the Dean. It wasn't until late in the day that I finally caught up with Julie and asked if she wanted to go out to dinner with me.
She told me that she had laundry to do since she didn't get much done the night before. When I asked if I could come over and help her she told me I was the reason she did get anything done the night before and she thought I should stay home so she could get her laundry done.
We did go out dancing on Wednesday but there was something missing that I couldn't put my finger on. Our relationship started to cool considerable from then on. We were still friends, we went out dancing and we had dinners together, but the intimacy we had shared was gone. Oh we still had sex, well she gave me blowjobs like she did before but there was something missing in those as well. They came to a stop as well a week and a half later. We never repeated the dildo scene and I for one missed it. I started to believe that was when our relationship started to die.
But things were starting to get really hectic after that Wednesday. On Thursday I got the inspection report and I was told that the house needed renovation desperately but as far as structurally the house and the out buildings were more then structurally sound.
After I talked to the inspector I called Julie's house and talked to Steve about his friends in the trades. When I told him what I wanted we agreed to meet at the house on Sunday with his friends so I could show them what I wanted.
On Saturday I went to the owner and after several beers and a lot of talking we agreed on a price of eighty-five thousand for the house and all the property. He was the one to suggest a lower price because he liked that I was going to live in the house and I was keeping the land intact.
Noon on Sunday I got together with Steve's friends at the house along with Steve Tessa and Julie. I bought a couple of cases of beers and sandwich stuff so we could make a day of it. We kicked around a lot of ideas on what to do with the house and where we could make bathrooms. We finally decided on taking the bedroom that was next to the master bedroom and making that into three bathrooms one was for the master bedroom one was going to be a powder room for guest and the other was going to be connected to one of the other bedrooms. It wasn't a perfect idea but it was the best we could come up with.
The kitchen was easy, as it was so bare we could do anything we wanted. The rest of the house would stay pretty much the way it was except for putting on doors to the bedrooms and repainting the entire house. The electrical problems were the hardest to solve as all the walls were made of adobe. The best the electrician could come up with was channeling the walls so he could run the wires he needed. That would mean I would need a mason to make the channels and he would also have to fill them in afterward. I told them all I would give them thirty-percent bonuses, if they could get me living in the house by the time school was in session. Of course that only meant I had a shower, a place to put my bed and some where to cook my meals. The rest could be done later.
For the next six weeks I spent all my free time working on the house. The only time I took off was when the jeep was finally ready and Julie and I took it out into the desert to try it out. We had a great time and it almost seemed like the magic was back until we got back to Phoenix. Then it was the same distance I felt before, only now it seemed worse. I was getting to the point where I couldn't stand to be around Julie. Not because I didn't like her but because I missed what we once had.
It all came to a head on Labor Day weekend. The kitchen was complete and the master bathroom was mostly complete. There was enough electrical work done so I could live in the house. I decided that it would be a good weekend to move my things in. I didn't have much and most of what I did have wouldn't work in my new place. So Julie and I went shopping for a new bedroom set for me as well as a kitchen table so I had somewhere to eat.
After bringing home my purchases and with Julie's help we set them up. We were sitting across from each other in the kitchen having a beer when I asked, "Can you tell me where I screwed up. Was it the dildo thing?"
Julie looked down at the table and said sadly, "No it wasn't that. Actually it wasn't anything you did. I just figure that our relationship couldn't work, So I lost interest. I'm sorry if I hurt you but I know we could never have what you wanted."
"I don't understand how everything was going so well and the next moment you decide it won't work."
Julie finished off her beer and opened a new one before she said. "I just knew you would hate me and I couldn't live with that, not again."
I took the seat next to her took her hand in mine and said, "There is nothing that you could do or say that could make me hate you. When I said that I was falling in love with you I meant it. Not only was I falling, but also I fell in love with you. Then came that dildo thing and it all ended. I'm sorry I told you I liked it, I wish we never done it."
Julie kissed my hand and said, "Ted it has nothing to do with that. It's me. I'm the problem. And if I told you the real reason you would hate me and I don't want you to hate me. I love you too much for you to hate me."
Now I was really confused how could she love me and not want to be with me. What could be so bad about her that I would hate her? I didn't say anything and the silence hung in the air like a fog. Finally Julie said, "You deserve an explanation, but I want you to promise me that you won't hurt me. You always struck me as a man that would keep his word no matter what. Now promise me that you won't hurt me or call me rude and nasty names."
I put my hand over my heart and said, "I have never hurt another person my whole life and I will not start now. Also I never like name calling it does little good. If you must hear it, I promise not to hurt you or call you evil names."
Julie pulled her hand from mine and said, "Remember what you said after I used the dildo on you."
I knew the whole thing started that night and I knew it was about me telling her I loved what she did to me. So I said, "Yea I told you I loved it."
Julie smiled but it was a sad smile then she looked like she was going to burst into tears any second before she said, "What you said was. I'm glad you're a girl because if you were a boy or a real T-girl then I would be gay because I love this too much. I don't think I could handle being gay." I was surprised that she had remembered it so well. But before she finished tears were pouring out of her eyes as she continued, "You see the problem is I'm not a real girl, I'm a T-girl and you would hate me for me it. That's why I decided to cool our relationship because you would never want me because of what I am." Julie then jumped up and ran out of the house.
That was one I never saw coming. I had run all the possibilities over in my head and that wasn't one of them. But looking back I don't see how I missed it. No that wasn't true either I didn't see it because I fell in love with a beautiful girl, a very sweet and beautiful girl. That was what she was and she still is.
I only though about it for a few minutes then I remembered that Julie didn't have her jeep. I picked her up at her house and I had to drive her home. I walked out of the house and looked for her but she was no where in sight. So I got in my truck and drove toward the main road.
Julie didn't make it very far as I found her half way down my road that led to the main road. She was on her knees crying hysterically. I stopped my truck and got out, but before I could get to her she covered her head with her arms and screamed, "Please don't hurt me. I'll do anything you want just don't hurt me."
When I got to her I took her hands in mine and said, "Julie honey I'm not going to hurt you. I can't hurt you. I love you too much. Now come back to the house so I can take care of you. Your knees are bleeding."
Julie just knelt where she was and said, "You can't love me, you said you can't be gay. Just take me home please."
I helped her up to her feet and said, "Your right I can't be gay because I love a beautiful sweet girl. Come lets get you home." I took Julie over to the truck and got her into the passenger side before getting into driver's side. I made a U-turn and drove back to my house.
When Julie saw where we were headed she said, "I meant my house."
I took her hand in mine and said, "I'll tell you what. Let me get those knees taken care of while we talk, then if you still want to go home I'll take you."
When I got back to the house I helped Julie out of the truck and into the house. I sat her down at the kitchen table before getting her a soda, as I wanted her sober at least for the time being. I then got a wash cloth and a towel.
While I started washing her knees I asked, "Is this why you wanted to know if I was gay.
