Karan was confused. Usually, when it came to relationships, the girls adored him so much that he was always in complete control. He made the first move, took the girls out on dates, had his way with them and, if they didn't meet his standards, dumped them.
He had had difficult girlfriends and ones that drove him nuts, but always Karan was in control, never the girl.
Varshini was different. A year ago, she wasn't even on his radar as suitable girlfriend material. He used her to help him do homework assignments as she clearly had a crush on him and was cleverer than he was, but would never get more involved than that.
Varshini That had changed six months ago when Varshini had transformed herself from being a small, mousy insignificant schoolgirl into an Amazon with a magnificent physique.
Varshini at the gym Karan had been fascinated by Varshini’s strength and confidence. And, also, he had felt emasculated by it, which was why, for once, even though he now fancied Varshini, he could not pluck up the courage to ask her out. This had never, ever been a problem for him before.In the end, Varshini had solved the problem for him by marching up to him one day and asking him outright if he wanted a date with her. Unable to take his eyes off her large muscles and fabulous physique, Karan had said yes.
From that day forth, Karan had never been in control of the relationship. It was Varshini who decided when they would go out, where they would go out and what they would do. Varshini refused to conform to traditional femininity by not wearing skirts and dresses. It was Varshini who was the more dominant partner. It was most disconcerting to Karan to find himself pinned against a wall whilst Varshini fondled him or to find one of her hands stroking his leg under the table whilst they were eating.The reality of his relationship had been brought home to him one day when he had been sitting in the school canteen with his mates. Their discussion around football had been interrupted by the sounds of giggling from the table behind. Karan had turned around to find one of his ex-girlfriends, Poorna, and two of her soppy friends laughing.Irritated by the interruption, Karan had snapped "Something funny girls?" "Oh, yes" Poorna had replied "You, actually!" Annoyed Karan had said "What do you mean, me? What's so funny about me?" "All we girls think it's hilarious. The great Karan, who could have his pick of any girl in this school, becoming the girlfriend - for that's what you are - of the incredible hulk!". The three girls dissolved into laughter. Karan felt his face reddening "That's rubbish! You take that back right now!" "Or what, Kareena ?" asked Poorna sweetly "You'll hit me with your handbag!" Karan stormed out and went to the boys' toilets, shaking. He had tried to convince himself that there was nothing wrong with his relationship with Varshini , but if an idiot like Poorna could see it then he had to face up to the truth. He was, in effect, becoming the "girl" in their relationship. He sat down heavily. It was a lot to take in. That evening, Varshini came around to his house. She had just come straight from the gym and looked fantastic. She gave him a deep kiss that pleased him.
"Hi sweetheart. Have you had a good day?" she asked him.Karan shrugged. There was no point telling her about the incident in the canteen or how upset he had been about it.
Varshini seemed concerned "You seem unhappy. But, hey, we've the school function to look forward to! We can go together as a couple for the first time!" That cheered Karan up. The chance to wear blazers and look cool, and to have a girl on his arm who was wearing a gorgeous Saree , there was nothing like it. "So..." Karan began "What are you gonna wear for the function ?" Varshini shrugged "I thought I'd wear a blazer or T-shirt ".
Karan jumped up "You can't do that! That's what the guys wear!"
Varshini was unfazed by his outburst "I most certainly can. There's no rule against it."
Karan became pleading "Please, Varshini ! I can't take you to the program on my arm with you looking like a man! It'll look.....weird! Can't you wear a saree just this once?"
"Nope" said Varshini "I'm done with Sarees and skirts. I decide what I wear from now on!"
"But....but..." said Karan "Oh. hell, it was meant to be a big surprise but.."
"But what?" asked Varshini. "The thing is, Varshini , I told mom that you and I would be going to this event and, mom being mom, she only went out and bought you a Saree ! It was very expensive! So...you have to wear it!" "No, I don't. I didn't ask her to buy it for me. You kinda did. So, it's not really my problem".Karan got down on his knees "Varshini please! Just wear the Saree for one evening, that's all I ask!"."No way. Your mom will just have to return it cos I'm not wearing it".And from that standpoint, Varshini would not be budged. Karan went to talk to his mom to explain the situation."Look mom, perhaps I should have explained that Varshini is not your ordinary girl. She's not into Sarees , so you'll have to send it back and get a refund that's all".Mom shook her head "Not possible. The store's policy is not to make refunds. So, what I am supposed to do with a very expensive Saree ?""I don't know" Karan admitted."Well, one things for sure, it's not going to waste! If Varshini won't wear it, then you'll have to!""What! I can't do that! I'm a boy!"
"This mess is your fault. If you hadn't told me about the function or that your girlfriend doesn't like dresses, I wouldn't have bought it. So, you'll have to pay by wearing the Saree yourself. It's actually very pretty and will suit your complexion quite well!"
So, to his shame, Karan had to go to the event wearing a red saree and high heels and on the arm of his strong, denim blazer clad girlfriend. Varshini’s attire to the event
Karan’s mom added some extensions to his hair. And he did look like pretty girl.
When Poorna and the other girls saw him they howled with laughter "Now he really IS the girlfriend! Uff.. you look sexy, Kareena” Karan / Kareena
Having to dress as a girl made Karan for the first time appreciate what it must be like to be a girl. His body was caressed by silk and the feel made his skin shiver. His arms, legs and shoulders were exposed for the world to see. His body was covered only by a thin saree and blouse . He looked (and he had to admit, felt) pretty and feminine. He was also aware of his vulnerability in those petticoat and heels. Beside his magnificently built girlfriend he looked and felt a lot like a girl.Varshini was enchanted with his appearance and couldn't keep her hands off him.Varshini behaved like the boy and Karan found himself having to play the girl's part. Varshini got him drinks and took care of him. When they danced, Varshini led and Karan had to follow. Later, Varshini took him aside and had her way with him. Used to being the alpha male and in control of everything, it was a sudden shock to find that the boot was on the other foot now and that he found all of his normal masculine instincts melt away to become quite submissive and helpless in the arms of such a strong girl.
He had, unwittingly and unexpectedly, become a "girlfriend"!
