Patty felt like screaming. She held tight to the headboard with both hands
and squirmed in ecstasy. David's talented lips and tongue were driving
her mad. She climaxed with a squeal and allowed her body to go limp.
Best of all, that was just the beginning David always saw to her needs
first. Only afterward came the main event. As David moved up and
knelt between her legs, she finally found the strength to say something.
"My gawd David, that was great! You are a real piece of work," Patty
gasped out.
"He sure as hell is," a second female voice uttered in contemptuous
tones.
The voice froze both David and Patty. David grimaced and turned
around to see his wife, Lisa, standing in the doorway of their bedroom.
She didn't have a gun in her hand. Thank God!
David immediately jumped out of bed and grabbed a handful of his
clothes, spouting excuses as he struggled to cover himself. "Lisa, wait!
Don't jump to conclusions. It's not what you think! She threw herself at
me. I couldn't stop myself. Please Lisa, wait a minute." He ignored the
outraged noises coming from Patty behind him as he chased after Lisa.
David was following her down the hall, trying to talk to her. He grabbed
his pants off the floor of the living room as they passed through it. They
were part of the trail of clothing, male and female, leading from the front
door. Lisa didn't slow down as she headed for the front door.
Lisa had not said another word since she left the bedroom. She refused to
even look at David. David was hopping on one foot trying to pull his
pants up as he tried to catch up to his very angry wife.
"Lisa, please stop and talk to me, please, honey. I swear, I couldn't help
myself, it was all her fault baby, honest," David was scrambling to keep
up with her and tripping over his pants. Finally he paused and got his
pants on. He ran out of the front door, just in time to see Lisa's red Miata
roar down the street.
"Shit, shit ,shit! I've done it this time. She may never forgive me," David
said out loud.
Just then he saw stars and the world began to spin. He grabbed the porch
pillar and regained his balance. He turned around to see Patty standing
there. She was dressed and menacingly swinging the shoulder bag she'd
just used to hit him in the head.
"You piece of shit, David! How dare you blame this one me? You chased
me for two months before we went to bed for the first time and you have
the gall to stand there and claim I threw myself at YOU!" With that,
Patty swung her shoulder bag at David's head again. He managed to duck
in time.
"Patty, I was just trying to make Lisa understand..." David started to say
when Patty slapped him in the face.
"I told you to get us a motel room but you get a thrill out of taking stupid
risks! This is the reason I won't screw you at my house. If my husband
came in, he'd kill us both. You better hope that Lisa doesn't tell Norm
about this. He'll break your neck AND cut your prick off!" Patty stomped
off towards her black Blazer and climbed in, she rolled down the
passenger's window, "Don't you dare call me, you son of a bitch!" Patty
roared off down the street in the other direction.
'Well great!' thought David, 'I've got Lisa and Patty both mad at me and
now I have to worry about Norm as well, if Lisa tells him. Damn, I
should have listened to Patty and got us a room.'
Glancing at his watch, David went back inside, showered and went back
to work. He called Lisa at her job. He was told she had left for lunch and
hadn't come back yet. David knew he was going to pay for this one. He
decided to let her have some time to cool off. Maybe a new Corvette
would help her forgive him.
David was very well paid for his job as a sales manager. He had great
benefits and hours. He had not had to work past 5PM in six months and
never on weekends. All thanks to the carefully assembled a sales staff
that was the envy of his company. Lisa didn't need to work but she
insisted she wasn't ready for children yet and she wanted to stay busy.
David provided for them both very well. The house had an in ground
pool and hot tub. The cars they drove were never more than 2 years old
and they frequently took exotic vacations. David thought that bought him
some extra privileges.
After work, David headed home, hoping Lisa would be there. When he
saw the empty driveway, his heart sank. The pool boy was here, his truck
was parked out by the curb. David went inside and checked their voice
mail. There was no message from Lisa. He checked the bedroom, all her
clothes were still there. That was a good sign he decided.
David called her cell phone and got her voice mail. He swallowed his
pride and did the one thing he didn't want to do. He called his mother-in -
law.
"Hello, Valerie, is Lisa there?" David asked, bracing himself for an
onslaught of name calling accusations.
"Yes she is David, would you like to talk to her?" Valerie asked. The
response left David nonplussed. She was being nice! The woman, who
he most frequently thought of as a witch, actually spoke to him
pleasantly! That could only mean that Lisa had not told her about
catching David and Patty together. This was good.
"Yes, if I may please," David said. There was no reason to get on
Valerie's bad side so being extra nice could only help, David figured.
"Hello David, you lying, cheating, back-stabbing, SON OF A BITCH!"
Lisa was screaming when she finished and slammed the phone down.
David hung up. He sat down and watched the pool boy cleaning their
backyard pool. David wondered if there was any way at all of getting
Lisa back. Maybe more time was needed.
Suddenly, David got the urge to go for a swim. It was a warm day and
some physical activity would burn off the adrenaline coursing through
his system right now.
David went to his bedroom and stripped his clothes off. The bed was still
rumpled from his 'nooner' with Patty. He recalled that Patty had been the
only one that had really had fun today. David feared it would be some
time before he had that kind of fun again.
Damn he was stupid! Next time, a hotel room for sure.
David had finished undressing and he took a second to glance at himself
in the full length mirror. Tall, at 6' 3 with broad shoulders, flat stomach
and good muscle tone. He had short cut brown hair, it was too curly to
let it get too long. He had brown eyes and a sharp nose. He was clean
shaven and he bore a slight resemblance to George Clooney, the actor
from ER.
David opened a dresser drawer for a swimsuit. He lifted a green one out
and was surprised to see it was really one of Lisa's teddy's. This was a
bright green one. David chuckled, he must have opened the wrong
drawer.
Before David could put it back though, he felt himself bend over and
slide a leg into the teddy! He tried to stop but he discovered he had no
control over his body. His shocked eyes watched as first one hairy leg,
then the other stepped into the lingerie. Then his hands pulled the little
lacy thing up over his hips and waist. His arms slid into the straps and
then adjusted them over his shoulders.
"How did I get this on with out it ripping?' David thought to himself. It
actually felt like it fit him!
Still having no control over his body, David was forced to simply watch
as another item was removed from the dresser and placed on him. It was
a thin, matching robe. Now David's body turned toward the mirror and
David got the shock of his life.
He was now a woman!
He had long reddish brown hair that cascaded over his shoulders and
down his back. The teddy fit like a glove. The high-cut hips and narrow
crotch showed off plenty of smooth, tanned skin with no body hair in
sight.
David was further shocked when his now female body sat down and
applied makeup. His new fuller lips were painted a bright color of red
and his eyebrows were expertly arched. Then a pair of silver earrings
with green stones were inserted into piercings he had not had before
now. Then, a pair of matching green high heels were added to David's
now much smaller feet.
David's new body brushed at his long silky hair and smiled at his
reflection. He felt his body turn and walk into the living room. The new
woman stopped and looked about, as if searching for something. At that
point in time, David became aware he could 'hear' the woman thinking.
Her name was Tina and she was horny. That was the main thrust of her
thoughts. She was looking for someone to satisfy her carnal desires, right
now!
David tried to talk to her, he shouted in his mind but she either did not
hear him or she ignored him completely. Then Tina noticed the pool boy.
'Oh, goody,' thought Tina, 'a man, just what I was looking for.' The pool
boy was about 20 years old. He had a fit, muscular body and shaggy
blonde hair. He was bare-chested and the sight of him made Tina wet
immediately. Inside her, David began screaming in protest.
"Don't do it. I'm a man not a woman, please don't do it!" but it was
useless.
Tina adjusted the robe on her shoulders and moved toward the French
doors that led to the pool. She opened the door and stepped out onto the
patio.
Tina sat down on a lounge chair, she crossed her legs and placed one
hand on her knee. She licked her lips and smiled before speaking. The
pool boy had still not noticed her.
"Hi," she said in a voice that dripped of lust. The pool boy jumped at the
sound.
"Oh, uh, hi ma'am, I didn't see you there. Are you a friend of Mr.
Hartley?" he stammered.
"You could say that, I'm house-sitting for them while they're gone. I'm
Tina, what's your name?" she asked.
"Well, most of my bud's call me 'Slammer'," he said.
"Slammer, how did you get a name like that?" Tina asked as she licked
her full lips again.
"It's cause I can slam a beer down faster than anyone else," He told her
proudly.
"Really? Would you like a beer, Slammer, there are some cold ones in
the kitchen. Why not come in and enjoy one and talk with me for a
while?" Tina asked him, while making prolonged eye contact.
"Oh no ma'am, we're not supposed to drink on the job, the boss would
have my butt if he found out," Slammer said.
"Oh, well, how about a soda or some ice tea?" Tina asked.
"Oh, no thank you ma'am, I just finished a cold drink."
"Slammer, would you like to come in and cool off for a minute, get out
of the hot sun?" Tina said, a little frustrated.
"No thanks, ma'am. We're not supposed to go into the houses. Just clean
the pools and move on, that's what my boss says," Slammer answered as
he rolled up his long, thick, hose.
"Slammer, would you like to come inside and screw me until my eyes
cross?" Tina asked him.
Slammer's room temperature IQ clicked on.
"Oh yes Ma'am, I like that just fine," Slammer said as he headed for the
house and Tina.
Some time later, Slammer was showering in the master bath when David
realized he had control of his body back. Tina had sated her wants and
left. But, David was still female.
He got out of the bed and walked over to the mirror. He looked in horror
at the body he now possessed. He was naked and makeup was smeared
on his face. David was sickened by the feeling of warm fluid running
down the inside of his thigh. He knew what it was.
Slammer came out of the bathroom and seeing David standing there, he
grabbed him and kissed him full on the mouth.
David tried to push him away but Slammer was far stronger than the
little female body David now occupied. The kiss lasted just a moment
though and then Slammer said goodbye and left.
David was stunned and nauseated by the events of the last hour. He had
been changed into a woman, control of his own body taken from him and
then he had sex with a man.
David sat down on the edge of the bed and wondered how and why all of
this had happened. He jumped and screamed when the phone rang.
David started to answer it and stopped before he did. If it was Lisa and
he answered in the new voice he had, she would assume he had another
woman at the house. David let the call roll over into voice mail. After a
couple of minutes, David checked and heard Valerie's voice.
"Hello David, or should I say Tina? Did that get your attention? Are you
afraid to answer the phone or are you and the pool boy still...busy? You'll
want to call me soon, we need to have some uh, girl talk. There are
things you need to know about who you now are and how long you will
be that way. Now, if you and the pool boy make a night of it, that's fine,
we can talk tomorrow. Enjoy dear, ta ta," The rest of the message was
laughter.
David stared at the phone for a long time. He dreaded calling Valerie,
but not as much as he dreaded remaining a woman.
"Hello, " Valerie said.
"Hello, Valerie," David said, wincing when he heard how soft and high
pitched his new voice was.
"Why David, dear girl, how are you doing? How was your little fling
with the pool boy? Did you enjoy it?" Valerie asked, her voice was
syrupy sweet.
"How did you do this to me Valerie and what do I have to do to get
changed back?" David asked, ignoring her question.
"I'm sorry sweetie, I didn't hear what you said about you and "Slammer".
How was it?" her voice was more insistent now.
"I won't tell you Valerie, now what will it take to get you to change me
back?" David was starting to get loud. He tried to calm down. He tried
closing his eyes but that just brought forth visions of Slammer grunting
on top of him and giving a rebel yell when he came inside David.
"David, if you don't answer my questions, right now, I will hang up and I
will never speak to you again. You will be as you are now until the day
that you die. Do I make myself clear?" Valerie said. There was no
pretend sweetness in her voice any longer.
David sensed he was on dangerous ground. He took a deep breath.
"What do you want to know Valerie?" he asked after a long pause.
"Was it enjoyable, I mean did Tina seem to have a good time? Did she
climax?" Valerie was chuckling between questions.
"Yes, Tina did seem to have fun and yes she reached climax. Now will
you tell me how I can change back?" David asked.
"How about you David, how did you enjoy today's little adventure?"
"I hated every second of it Valerie, that's why you did this to me. I hated
it and I'm sorry for hurting Lisa, really. Tell me what you want me to do
and I'll do it Valerie, just change me back into a man, please," David was
pleading now.
"Tell me about Slammer, David. I want to hear about every second of it.
A girl's first time should be special. Talking about it now will help you
remember it. It was special, wasn't David?"
David was trapped, describe the event in detail or face life as a woman.
David described the sexual encounter in detail for his mother-in-law. It
sickened him and his voice dropped very low a couple of times. Valerie
had to make David repeat himself because she had not heard him. By the
time David finished he was nearly in tears. He had never been so
humiliated.
"David, can you imagine how it shamed my daughter to walk in and find
her husband with another woman, IN HER OWN BED!" Valerie shouted
the last few words. David would normally not let someone talk to him
like that but Valerie definitely had the upper hand.
"I have been humiliated beyond words today Valerie. I have wronged
Lisa and insulted her. I won't contest a divorce. I will give her the house,
the cars and all the stocks. I'll pay a generous alimony. Just please turn
me back into a man, please Valerie."
"David, you truly sound contrite. I believe you completely. But this isn't
about a divorce settlement. Everything you mention, Lisa will get
anyway. You are giving up nothing. What we are doing here, David, is
punishment pure and simple. Lisa wants you punished for what you did
to her."
David felt a chill run through him. 'She's going to leave me this way!' he
thought.
David tried to speak but his voice wouldn't work. His head spun and he
thought he might black out.
"But?you may get lucky, David," Valerie said. "Listen carefully, I am
going to tell you what is going to happen every day for the next 4 weeks.
If you are lucky, you will be David again at the end of that time. If you're
not so lucky?"
"David, every day, at 6:00PM, you will change into Tina. No matter
where you are and what you are doing, you will become a woman and
Tina will be in charge. She will control your body until she has made
love to a man. The man has to finish his?uh, business, inside Tina. Is
that part clear David? The man has to climax inside her or it doesn't
count. Unless that happens, Tina will stay in control. And if Tina is in
control when the sun comes up, then you will always be a woman and
Tina will always be in control."
"Once Tina has been satisfied, you will regain control of your pretty little
body. You may do with it as you please until sunrise, then it will become
male again. This will last for 28 days. If you have managed to avoid
getting pregnant by the end of that time, you will spend several days as
your female self, experiencing a woman's period. Then you will become
David again," Valerie explained. "If you ever wake up as a woman and
the sun is up, it means you have become pregnant. Except on the last
day. Then you may be pregnant or it may just be the start of your period"
"What happens if I get pregnant?" David asked, he was sure he knew the
answer.
"Then you will be a woman for life David, but Tina would not be in
control. The odds are against you getting pregnant, David. There are only
a few days a month a woman is fertile. You're probably safe for the next
few days. You're thinking of birth control pills, David. You can try them
but they won't work. The spell I have cast will make you fertile during
Tina's normal cycle no matter what you do."
"Is there nothing I can do to help prevent getting pregnant?" David
pleaded.
"Well, douching is a form of birth control, washing out the seed before it
takes root, so to speak. Not very effective, only about 50%. Condoms
would be almost foolproof, but Tina doesn't like them. Just like you don't
like them David," Valerie said.
David felt himself getting mad. Had Lisa told her everything about their
lives together?
"David, haven't you figured out I can read your mind? Be careful what
you think, dear girl, it can have dire consequences. I am doing this for
Lisa, I could decide to do some things to you, on my own," Valerie said.
"David, you could call one of your friends and ask them to help you out.
Tell them what is happening to you and ask one of them to see to it, that
Tina doesn't get pregnant. All they have to do is come over once a day,
service Tina and wear a condom while doing so. Surely you have at least
one friend you could trust to do that, don't you David?" Valerie asked.
David was quiet, he was thinking, but he already knew the answer. There
was no one who he would trust with this secret.
"No, I don't think I do." That admission was almost as humbling as
describing the sex had been
"Good choice dear, we tend to gather with people who think as we do.
None of your friends would be trustworthy enough to do this for you.
They all are more concerned with their own pleasure, as are you,"
Valerie said.
"Goodbye David, I may talk to you from time to time and Lisa will
probably drop in to see you as well." David heard a dial tone and he
hung up the receiver.
Valerie turned to Lisa after hanging up with David. She smiled at the
attractive young woman she had raised. She was bright, strong willed
and, unfortunately, very much in love with David Hartley.
"Did you have to be so, so?cruel?" Lisa asked.
"Yes, I did, he would expect it. This won't be easy for you or him. He
will never accept the truth. His subconscious won't let him be the man he
is physically. His conscious mind is too strong to allow him to make a
voluntary decision to change right now. Tell me now if you can't go
through with it, we need to stop this before midnight or see it through. I
can't violate the laws of magic. We can still stop and you two just go
your separate ways." Valerie said.
"If I didn't know why he was behaving the way he is, maybe I would.
You?re the one that showed me what was wrong. This was your idea. If
you didn't want to do it, why even suggest it?" Lisa said. "Did you have
to be so, so?cruel?"
"Because I love you. I'm your mother and that's what being a parent
means. You still love him enough to want to help him so I'll help you.
Are you sure you're up to your part of the act? David is being controlled
by a female personality, you have to make it seem real."
"I'm sure," was all Lisa said.
"Okay, it will take a couple of days to get your 'new life' arranged. We
need that time for David to get desperate. It'll make your job easier. I will
worry about you every day, you know that and I won't be able call you,
or you me. We must stay apart completely. If this is to work, David has
to make up his own mind. We can only give him nudges in the right
direction. In the end, it must be his decision. Is that clear?" Valerie said.
"Yes, it is. I'm scared, Mother. What if he gets pregnant before I get
there? What if he rejects me? What if?"
"Lisa, we can't worry about what if. It's dangerous, I know, but it's the
best way." Valerie said. "My predictions of possible futures show David
committing suicide 5 out of 10 times in the next year, if left alone. If it
were a lower number, I'd say let nature take its course, but we need to try
and save his life if we can."
Lisa nodded her head and looked out the window at her mother's
beautiful back yard. Her mother spent all her spare time gardening since
her father died and left her more money than she would ever need.
Lisa always found solace looking at the simple beauty of nature. She
needed some peace now. She thought back to the few hours since she
had arrived at her mother's home.
When she had come home and told her mother about catching David
with another woman, her mother had recommended they get a lawyer.
Lisa asked her mother to use her sorceress powers instead. Valerie was a
sorceress by birth. Both her parents had the power so it was passed to
Valerie. Lisa's father didn't have the power so Lisa did not inherit it.
Valerie first did a reading of David's aura. She didn't use her powers
capriciously, Lisa had never asked her mother for anything like this so
Valerie had never done it before now.
Valerie told Lisa that the problem lay in David's soul. He had the soul of
a woman and the internal conflict was making him do these things to kill
his marriage.
"I thought he loved me?" Lisa protested.
"He does dear, very much, he doesn't understand what is happening or
why he does these things. Many people like David would seek a doctor's
help in finding their true place and gender. In David's case, his
subconscious mind is not strong enough to tell his conscious mind that
he is unhappy as a man. He might be happier as a woman, but I am not a
psychiatrist, I just know what his aura looks like. His soul is female, his
body is male and he's in serious conflict. I can help him but we must
make very sure he wants our help. I cannot in good conscience make him
a woman just because I think that might make him happy. He has to ask
me to make him a woman, permanently."
"What if he doesn't but he gets pregnant anyway?" Lisa asked.
"He has the power to influence the personality in control when he is a
female. She can use a condom if he tells her strongly enough. If he really
wants to be a man, he will convince her. If he doesn't convince her, that
is an acceptance of his fate and a decision to be a woman. That is not as
ideal a situation as his coming to the decision consciously would be. He
will have some difficulty adjusting if he just gets pregnant. And of
course there would be the baby. I would rather not have a child born out
of a situation like this, that's were you come in. You have to prevent
that."
"If I succeed, I end my marriage, once and for all." Lisa said sadly.
"If we fail, David may kill himself. Lisa dear, your marriage to David is
over. He can't sustain a relationship with a woman. He will always seek a
way to end it without knowing why. The fact that he loves you will make
this break up very hard on him. With luck, he is already realizing he is
ruining his life for no good reason. We are trying to save David's life. If
there was another way, I would use it, believe me." Valerie said.
Lisa had never known her mother to lie to her. She trusted her more than
any person on earth. She would do as her mother said and hope she was
up to the task ahead.
David curled into a fetal position. The act made easier by the increased
flexibility of his female form and slightly tougher by the breasts on his
chest. David lay there on his side, curled into a ball, until the chill drove
him into the bedroom. The sheets needed changing and David changed
them.
David lay awake, unable to sleep. The fear that he might wake up and
still be female invaded his mind like a stampede of horses as soon as he
closed his eyes. What would he do if that were the case? Was he now
pregnant? The thought triggered a violent reaction. He rushed to the
toilet and reached it just in time to empty his stomach into the bowl.
Being new to wearing long hair, David didn't know to hold it up and it
dangled in the fouled water. He was forced to shower again in order to
wash it. It took a great deal of shampoo to clean it properly. He would
prefer to clean his shorter male hair. He would prefer to be male.
In bed again, David sought happier memories. Times before he began
sleeping around on Lisa. Why had he begun that? He loved her with all
his heart and soul. She had only to ask him for something and he would
get it or do it for her. When did he decide he needed more than the love
she supplied? They had always been very satisfied with each other.
David considered his relationship with Patty. She was demanding and
bossy. She had to be satisfied first, every time. David didn't mind, he just
wondered what it was about Patty that attracted him. Why didn't he rent
them a room? He could easily afford it. Lisa would never know. Was
that why he chose to bring Patty and the others to his own house and
their bed? Did he want to get caught?
David tossed nervously. He wasn't used to sleeping with breasts. They
were uncomfortable to lie on and he preferred sleeping on his stomach.
He couldn't wear a bra which might help. It would cut him in two when,
and if, he became a man again.
David recalled the last vacation they had taken. It was to the Virgin
Islands. Lisa had picked the spot.
******************
"Hurry David, we'll be late for the plane," Lisa called out.
The airport limo was waiting for them and David was making sure
everything was locked up tight. He came running out and stopped. He
stared at his wife, Lisa, standing next to the limo. She was wearing a
sundress with skinny straps and a neckline that showed the tops of her
firm breasts. The skirt stopped less than half way down the length of her
long, smooth, tanned legs. She was wearing sandals with 2-inch heels.
Her brown hair was lying softly on her shoulders, shining in the sunlight.
She smiled at him and his breathing sped up, his heart rate accelerated
and he actually felt dizzy for a minute. She was so beautiful!
Time stood still, all sound was silenced, the world contained only David
and Lisa for that one brief moment.
This was a moment he knew he would remember forever.
He never loved her more than he did right then. He thought he was the
luckiest man on earth to have Lisa for a wife. Not because she was
beautiful, because she was the only woman in the world he had ever
loved or could ever love. He had known that from the first time he saw
her. The fact that she loved him back filled his days with joy and his
nights with sweet dreams.
David was crying, he never cried. How could he have forgotten that time
in their lives? The rest of the trip had been anti-climatic. For David,
seeing her standing there, smiling and waiting for HIM, had made him
the happiest man on earth. For two weeks, they shopped, saw sights,
swam in the warm ocean and made love in the moonlight.
David recalled only that moment, in their own driveway, when she had
smiled at him.
David sobbed uncontrollably over the realization of what a fool he had
been. He had probably lost the most important person in his life. He had
no one to blame but himself.
Sleep finally came and then the alarm rang much too soon. David sighed
in relief when he knew he was male again. He shuddered physically
when he considered that he had 27 more nights to suffer through.
Somehow, he must get through the ordeal and win Lisa back. It was the
most important challenge he had ever faced and he was determined to
win.
David forced himself through the morning, looking and acting haggard
and beaten. Finally, David went home at noon and told his secretary he
would not be back that afternoon.
David parked his black 'Vette in the garage and entered through the
kitchen. He made and ate a sandwich only because he was too hungry to
sleep without something on his stomach. David undressed and collapsed
in bed. He was asleep in minutes. It was just 12:45PM.
At 6:00PM sharp, Tina woke up and stretched. She stood up and looked
at her body in the mirror. She felt her legs and decided they needed
shaving. After a long soak and then shaving her legs Tina dressed for a
night out. A knee length black dress with a very revealing neck line and
plenty of cleavage. The dress didn't require a bra. Tina put on a black
gater belt and nude thigh highs and then slipped on some skimpy black
panties. Afte a moment's thought, Tina took the panties off and went
without. Makeup, jewelry and a pair of black heels and Tina was ready
for fun.
Inside Tina, David was cringing mentally. He could feel everything she
felt. He was actually experiencing the desire to be filled by a man. The
sensation was horrifying to David. He had no interest in sex with men
but his body was screaming for it. Then the thing that topped it all off.
Tina spoke to David!
"David, I do hope you will be a little more quiet this time. I find the
yelling and fuss you make distracting. I only get to come out for a little
bit everyday, please let me enjoy it," Tina 'said'. She didn't speak, she
was communicating directly to David, they did share a mind after all.
"Please take a condom and use it Tina, I don't want to be a woman.
Please Tina, please," David begged.
"I don't like rubbers David, it doesn't feel as good for me," Tina replied
as she touched up her makeup.
"Can we trade something Tina, is there something you would like me to
buy you tomorrow? Just name it, use a condom tonight and it's yours,"
David said.
"Hmm, would you go buy me a?vibrator? Something to have around in
case I don't find the right guy some night, so I'm not so lonely," Tina
said.
"But you have to find the right guy every night or I'm stuck," David said.
Now a new fear gripped him. What if Tina wanted to stay in control?
"Don't worry David, I don't want to be in control all the time, I know I
can't earn a living," Tina said.
"Can you read my mind?"
"Of course I can, it's my mind too."
"Who are you Tina?"
"I'm you David. Valerie took your sex drive and reversed it toward men.
Then she gave me a feminine personality and some appropriate
memories and skills. Fashion, makeup, feminine hygiene. I'm not a
bimbo David, I'm just not very deep. I exist only to make sure that you
go out every night and get laid. I know that and I'm okay with it. I get
what I want and that's all I care about. Just like you, David."
"Where do you go when I'm in control."
"The same place you go when I'm in control. I can hear and sense
everything you do. I know what you're thinking. I know you think I'm
some kind of sex starved airhead. I'm not. I'm just exactly like you. My
priorities are just as screwed up as yours are. Pleasure is the number one
thing in my mind as it is in yours. I have less self-control than you do,
that's the only difference. If I were to be in control fulltime David, we'd
be a hooker in a few weeks. I want that no more than you do. However,
if you were to be a woman fulltime and in control, that's something I
could really get to like. It's getting late, time to hit the bar. You don't
mind if I drive the 'Vette, do you?" Tina laughed out loud as she picked
up a small black purse.
She picked up David's pants and took out his keys and wallet. Tina
removed his ATM card and the keys to the car and house and placed
them in her purse. Their first stop was for money, Tina got $500.00 out
of David's account. Then she drove to a singles bar, the same one where
David met Patty.
David tried his best to find a dark hole to hide in as Tina began looking
for a man for the evening. She had plenty of takers but to David's
surprise, she was being picky. After an hour, David began to worry she
wouldn't find someone she liked. Then a man came over and asked her to
dance. He was tall and good-looking, he had a easy grin and a smooth
voice. His line was simple and easy to see through. He was the
shallowest man in the bar. Tina almost jumped him right then and there.
They wound up at David's house. Ken was very eager as was Tina and
soon they were in bed and down to business. David tried talking to Tina
but she ignored him. When they were done, Ken went to the bathroom
and Tina left.
Now David had a problem he had not considered before. What if Ken
wanted a repeat performance? David doubted he would be able to bluff
his way through it. He would not be able to do it.
Ken came out of the bathroom and lay down beside David. He placed a
hand on an exposed breast and kissed his lips. Fear froze David to the
bed.
"I had a great time Tina, I'll see you again, I hope," Ken said as he rose
and began dressing.
David let out an audible sigh.
Ken turned around. "Are you interested in another go?" he asked.
"Oh, uh no, no, I was just reliving the moment. You were great," David
said, repeating what Tina had been thinking as she left.
Ken finished dressing and left. David let out a loud sigh.
"Why did you pick that guy Tina? He wanted a notch for his gun,
nothing more," David asked.
"David, do you want someone who wants a relationship, spending the
night, waking up next to YOU in the morning? I went looking for some
one who would not come back for more. Someone shallow and uncaring.
Only interested in a moment's pleasure. In a word, David, someone like
you." Tina's words stung but they had the ring of truth as well.
If she had picked up some sweet guy looking for a girlfriend, it would be
sticky.
"Tina, what would have happened if Ken had wanted seconds? Would
you have come back and handled that?" David asked.
"Nope, you'd've been on your own David. You should pay attention to
what I do with the guys, it's bound to happen sometime. Someone will
want a repeat or even triple play. Or, I'll make a mistake and the guy will
want to spend the night. Then, there's the weekends."
"What about the weekends, are guys more likely to spend the night on a
weekend?"
"Well, maybe, but mostly, you'll be female all weekend long, it's more
likely that you'll have to handle a lover then," Tina explained.
"ALL WEEKEND LONG? Valerie never said anything about that. How
do you know that anyway?" David was actually shouting out loud.
"Calm down David, believe me, I can hear you and now, so can the
neighbors. Valerie gave me specific memories. How to dress, how to
apply makeup and the rules of the spell. I know she didn't mention it, I
was there, listening with you."
"I'll sleep tonight at least. Thanks for asking Ken to use a condom. Will
you do that every night?" David asked.
"I can't promise that. When we get into foreplay, my brain shuts down. I
only notice what is happening to me," Tina explained
"But if I get pregnant, I stay a woman, you said that you didn't want
that," David said.
"No, I said if I am in control and we get stuck as a woman, then we have
a real problem. My focus is on pleasure and sex. That's all I care about
when I'm in charge of our body. If you get pregnant, I won't be in charge.
With you in control of our body, you will be able to get a job and earn a
living without resorting to prostitution. If you get through the month
without getting pregnant, I leave forever."
"Tina, I don't want to be a woman for the rest of my life. I like being a
man. I don't want to have to make love to a man some night because
once wasn't enough, can't I just tell him no?"
"Would you accept no in the same situation with another woman? You
can try it David but why not experience it for yourself?" Tina said.
"I have experienced it, twice more than I cared to."
"I mean with you controlling this hot little body we have. David, riding
is never as much fun as driving, believe me."
"I am not interested. Please choose wisely, Tina. Find the guys that are
not into pain and just want to get off and leave."
"I'll try but you should pay attention to what I'm doing so you can handle
anything that comes up, so to speak. Besides, I feel pretty damn good
when I come, don't you feel the same thing?"
"Yes, but the humiliation of having a man's?" David couldn't even think
the word penis, it was so upsetting.
"I understand. It's tough but you don't have a choice, neither of us does.
I'll help if you need it David, I'll be able to talk you through it, if and
when the time comes," Tina said. "Better shower and get the makeup off
before bed."
In the shower, Tina tried to get David to play with his new body but he
refused.
David fell into bed, exhausted and was soon asleep. The alarm went off
at 6:30am and David crawled out of bed, male once again.
David tried to talk to Tina but got no reply. He wondered if she was mad
at him because he wouldn't play in the shower last night. At lunch,
though it embarrassed him greatly, David found an adult bookstore and
purchased a "vibrator". He choose the six-inch length. Even that seemed
huge to him. David's face turned bright red as the clerk handed him the
sack.
"Hope you enjoy it," the clerk said.
That evening, David got caught in traffic due to a five-car pile up. It was
just turning 6:00 PM when David pulled his Corvette into the garage.
Tina, wearing David's suit, stood up from the car.
"David, you shouldn't cut it this close," she said.
"Why haven't you answered me all day?" David asked.
"I'm only around when you're female David. I see you bought me a
present, maybe we could just watch a dirty movie and?" Tina said as
she opened the bag and examined the vibrator. Seeing it in her smaller
hand sent a shiver through David.
"NO!!!" David barked back.
Tina giggled out loud.
"Got ya!" Tina said. "I guess this means you want me to go out and find
a guy, is that right?"
"No, I don't but as you said yesterday, we have no choice in this."
Tina hurried to the bedroom and pulled David's clothes off and began
choosing an outfit for the evening. She had just donned a bra and panties
set when someone began pounding on the front door.
Tina pulled on a robe that covered her body but then clung to every
curve like paint. She opened the door to a large man with fire in his eyes.
His face was red and he was obviously very agitated. Tina tried to shut
the door but the man was too strong. He forced his way in and shut the
door behind him. Tina took off running but the man grabbed her from
behind. He wrapped an arm around her tiny waist and lifted her up.
"Let me go you bastard, RAPE, HELP, RAPE!!!!" Tina screamed.
As she tried to kick at the man's legs and she beat on his arm around her
waist.
The man sat her down and backed up. Tina spun around, ready to fight if
need be. The man held both hands in front of himself.
"No, I'm not going to hurt you, not unless YOU"RE David Hartley."
"Do I look like someone named David Hartley?" Tina asked pointedly.
"No, you don't. I'm sorry I scared you, I really didn't mean to. I just came
by to beat the shit out of this Hartley character, for screwing my wife. I
guess I scared you, I'm sorry, are you his wife?" he asked.
"No, I'm the house-sitter. David's wife left him because of what
happened. I'm just a close friend," Tina said, feeling relieved. "I guess
you're Norm?"
"Yes, does David tell you everything about his sex life, including the
names of his lovers husbands?" Norm asked.
"David and I have no secrets between us. I am well aware of David's
habit of dallying with other women. I'm afraid David's not here though.
You just missed him," Tina said.
"But just a few minutes ago, I saw him pull into the garage. He's here
lady, don't try to hide your boyfriend from me." With that Norm began
searching the house. Tina followed him around and let him look all he
wanted. He saw David's clothes in a pile on the floor of the bedroom.
"I guess I interrupted you and David. Good, he's interrupted my
marriage," Norm said.
"Are you and Patty getting a divorce?" Tina asked.
"Probably not, but I'm mad at her and I'm going to pound David Hartley
when I find him."
"Norm, would that solve anything? I mean, might you not wind up in
jail, maybe lose your job, have to pay an attorney a lot of money? Is it
worth all that?"
"I can't just let him get away with it though, dammit." Norm said.
Norm was a big man, he was a good 2 inches taller than David and
maybe fifty pounds heavier. Patty said he could bench-press 300 pounds.
What in the world made David pick the wife of this man? If he got his
hands on David, it could be serious.
"Norm, it won't surprise you to find out that David and I are more than
just friends. I love David in a very special way. He's a part of me and I
don't want to see him hurt. I also want to teach him a lesson about
screwing other men's wives. Could I get you to help me with something,
in that regard?" Tina asked, as she loosened the tie on her robe.
"What did you need help with?" Norm asked.
"My bra, it's a real bother to get off," Tina said as she slipped her robe
off and turned her back. They were still in the bedroom.
Norm unhooked her bra with shaking fingers and she pulled it off. She
turned back around and faced Norm.
"My panties get stuck too, sometimes."
Norm hooked his thumbs in the waistband of Tina's panties and slid them
down her silky soft legs. When he got to her ankles, she lifted first one
leg, then the other. Norm found himself kneeling in front of Tina's small,
neatly trimmed triangle of brown hair. Her natural aroma, enhanced by
her arousal, drifted to his nose and he inhaled deeply.
Norm straightened up and stared into Tina's eyes. Inside Tina's head,
David was trying to argue.
"David, shut the hell up! You got us into this, I'm trying to get us out!"
Tina told him silently.
Norm was wavering, he looked unsure.
"I shouldn't, it's not right," Norm said.
"Neither are the nooners David and Patty had three times a week. This is
a chance to get even with David and Patty at the same time without
getting arrested. Trust me, David is going to feel this like you were doing
it to him," Tina said.
Norm looked at the firm breasts with erect nipples, he could smell Tina's
desire stronger now and her eyes were glazed with desire. Here was a
horny woman, going to waste! Norm made up his mind and took Tina in
his arms.
Tina undressed Norm and he lifted her up on the bed and moved into
position. They kissed and touched and caressed until Tina was aching for
Norm to enter her. As Norm started to push against her wet and eager
lips, Tina put her hands on his chest and pushed.
"Promise me Norm, this settles accounts between you and David. I'll
make sure he knows about this, you take that as your revenge, agreed?"
Tina said.
"Okay Tina, I promise," Norm said.
With that, he easily overpowered her thin arms and pushed himself deep
into Tina. David screamed as he felt the thick shaft pierce his male pride.
The rest of the encounter was a blur to David. He thought he had
accepted the fact that he was going to experience sex with men for the
next month. This particular man was the worst though. Norm wasn't
mean, it was the concept that David was being screwed by the husband
of a woman he had slept with.
When Norm climaxed, he relaxed and lay atop David, they were still
connected. David had regained control of his body and was wishing
Norm would get the hell off of him. He could feel Norm shrinking.
David looked up at the ceiling, the only thing he could see right now.
"Why did you do this to me Tina? Why screw Norm, to hurt me?" David
said silently. "Is your body so much in control of you when you're horny
that you can't stop to think about what you are doing? Do you have any
idea how much that hurt me, inside?"
"I know exactly how much it hurt you. I did it you save our life. I WAS
thinking. It took every bit of will power I had to stop Norm and make
him promise to leave you alone. That man is huge, he could have hurt
you seriously if he had attacked you. You wind up in the hospital, when
it's 6:00PM I show up and I'm just as beat up as you are. I'm trapped in a
hospital bed and can't get laid. The next morning, we're stuck and I'm in
control. Hot to trot, 24/7. Now David, which would you prefer, walking
the streets or getting screwed by Norm? To me, it was a no brainer."
"Okay, I'm sorry, it just?" David stopped.
Norm stirred, he lifted himself up and left. Acting as if he was ashamed
of himself. He didn't look David in the eyes after they separated their
bodies.
"It hurt you and it hurt like hell, not physically, mentally. I know, I felt
the pain you were experiencing. Now, the next time you screw another
man's wife, think of today. Norm was as embarrassed as hell, he won't be
back and you'll never hear from him either, I'll wager," Tina said.
David showered and picked up the clothes off the floor. He made the bed
with fresh sheets and did laundry. Then he called out for pizza, ordering
his usual, pepperoni and extra cheese.
"David, you'll never finish a large and I'll never fit into that little black
dress I wore last night if you keep eating like that while you're female.
Once in a while's okay, but let's watch the comfort food, okay?" Tina
chided him.
"Point taken. I should have asked first, do you like pizza?"
"David, I like what you like, except I like men and you like girls. Maybe
I can broaden your horizons in that respect?" Tina said.
"No thank you. I have no desire to start liking men."
"Just while you're female. What would have it hurt to go out to eat
tonight? You could have gone to a nice place and very possibly found a
nice guy to buy you dinner or at least a drink. So you're a guy during the
day, at night, you're a hottie!"
"Tina, I don't like being a girl, much less a hottie. This is punishment for
me and that is exactly as I am taking it. Please get off the subject of men,
it upsets me," David said.
"You might think about the fact that you may have to get used to liking
men or be a old maid. There is a good chance that you'll wind up as a
woman for life, you know," Tina pointed out.
David ignored her remarks and turned on the TV. He found a ball game
and watched it until the pizza arrived. David was wearing the slinky robe
he had put on after his shower and the pizza boy almost choked when he
saw the sexy woman open Mr. Hartley's door.
"Hi Ma'am, That'll be $15.10, please," he said as he stared unabashedly
at her cleavage.
David realized what he looked like to the boy and threw a twenty at him
and told him to keep it. He grabbed the pizza and slammed the door.
Tina was laughing at him, inside his head.
"What's so funny?"
"You are, you liked it, I could tell. You liked the kid ogling you," Tina
giggled.
"No I didn't."
"David, I feel everything you do. You got excited when you saw him
leering at our tits. It's okay. That's why a woman dresses this way, so
men will notice."
"Damn it, Tina, I'm not a woman! If you're going to try to change me in
some way, you can just stop it right now. I like being a guy and I don't
like getting screwed by men. Get off this subject now!" David screamed
at her.
Tina was silent for the rest of the night. David watched the rest of the
game, ate just two slices of pizza before filling up and put the rest in the
refrigerator. He then crawled into bed and lay awake wondering if he
would be a man in the morning or not since Tina hadn't told Norm to use
a condom.
That would be irony, becoming a woman for life because his girlfriend's
husband had knocked Tina up!
Sometime after midnight, David fell into a troubled sleep. He woke up
before the alarm clock went off. He felt like hell but there was too much
to do today to skip work. David made his way to the office and somehow
got through the day.
"David, I'm worried about you." This was from his secretary, Margaret
Winters. She was fifty something. He had 'inherited' her from his
predecessor and she was far too proficient to replace with the kind of
trophy secretary he had wanted. The job paid him too much money to
screw around at work anyway.
"I'm fine Margaret, really," David lied. Margaret wasn't buying it. She
knew David too well.
"David, we need to talk," she said. She closed the door to his office and
sat down. Margaret knew David's mother was gone and he really needed
a mother right now, she was sure.
"David, I have never told you how much I disapprove of your running
around on Lisa. I like Lisa a great deal and I think you do her a great
disservice with your tomcatting. Now she has left you, maybe for good."
David's head jerked up at that last comment. He knew Lisa would call
Margaret from time to time but he had no idea they were close enough to
discuss their personal lives.
"David, she really loves you. She doesn't want to lose you but this last
incident, whatever it was, was too much. She feels like she's backed into
a corner. You have to do something David. You and Lisa belong
together. Swallow your pride, beg her forgiveness, do whatever it takes
to get her back. If you don't, you'll never forgive yourself."
"I can't get her to talk to me. She screams at me and hangs up. I want her
back, I really do. I was a fool, I know that now, but she won't talk to
me."
David put his face in his hands and cried. Despite the horror of his
evenings as Tina and the humiliation he experienced then, this was only
the second time David cried since his mother's funeral three years ago.
Margaret let him go for a while, knowing he needed the release. When
David regained control she patted his shoulder and told him to keep
trying to talk to Lisa. She would be there to help if she could.
David's office had a private bathroom and he splashed some cold water
on his face and kept his door closed for a while until he thought his eyes
were clear again.
'Margaret was right,' he thought. 'Lisa and I belong together. I have to get
her back.'
David called Lisa's job and was shocked to find out she had quit without
notice. He called Valerie.
"Hello David, well, three days down and 25 more to go. Are you getting
used to being on the bottom? Are you and Tina getting along? I wasn't
sure if you two would talk or not. How about the men she has picked,
how did you like them?" Valerie asked.
"Please Valerie, can I just speak to Lisa?" David said.
"David, I just got a flash from your mind. You and Norm! How
delicious! Was he good, or did he just come and go? Will you see him
again? Lisa felt it was important to share the information about how
close you and Patty were with Norm. She actually had a different kind of
interaction in mind for the two of you. I think she thought Norm might
hit you. She was still quite angry when she called him. I do believe that
she regretted the call later on."
"That's what you get for letting your emotions control you. But you
know all about that, don't you? Your baser emotions taking control and
making you do something you really don't want to do."
"Please Valerie, let me talk to Lisa, please."
"Lisa isn't here David. I will tell her you called," Valerie said and then
hung up.
'Damn it! Why do I let her bait me like that? Because if I blow up at her,
I'll regret it for the rest of my life,' David thought to himself, answering
his own question. 'Great, now I'm talking to myself.'
David finished the day out and went home, dreading the evening ahead.
He had yelled at Tina last night and she was mad at him. Who knows
what she would do to punish him? All she had to do was pick the wrong
guy and David would pay for the rest of his life. He had to make it up to
her somehow.
David arrived home at 5:45. He had fifteen minutes before he lost his
manhood and control. Quite possibly, the last fifteen minutes he had as a
man, and maybe as a functioning human being and not just a collection
of thought patterns. This thought had come to him more frequently of
late. The month to come would be far rougher than he had first thought.
Something could happen that would keep Tina from completing her daily
assignment. Then, they would be stuck as Tina, constantly looking for
pleasure. Or, she could get pregnant because she didn't use a condom.
That was the real fear. David knew Tina didn't want to be in control full
time, but she couldn't help herself when she got aroused.
David went to the bedroom and took off his suit and hung it up, as he
was unbuttoning his shirt, Tina arrived.
"Got home earlier tonight, huh David, good. Now what shall I wear?
Any chance another girlfriend's husband's going to stop by and make
things easy for me again?" Tina said and giggled out loud. She finished
undressing and began selecting underwear.
"Tina, I'm sorry for yelling at you last night. I had no right to treat you
like that. You did the right thing and it probably did save our life. Can
you forgive me?" David said to her.
"Of course I can David, I understand how upset you were and I was
pushing too many buttons. I went over the top. I'm sorry too."
"Tina, name it and I'll buy it for you," David announced magnanimously.
"Oh David, you have to learn, money just buys things. You can't buy
friends or lovers, just rent people who pretend. You made a heartfelt
apology, I know you meant it. That's what made it special. After Lisa
caught you and Patty, you wondered how much you could spend to get
her back. The answer, David, is all the money in the world isn't enough
and a single penny is too much."
"Lisa needs to know you are sorry and really want to get back together.
She doesn't want a new car or a bigger house, she either wants you, alone
or you've lost her for good. The fact that the punishment isn't absolutely
permanent is a good sign. If you can talk to her, apologize as you just did
to me and never cheat on her again, you might have a chance."
"Maybe send her a dozen roses?" David suggested.
"How about one rose and a sweet card asking for a chance to talk to
her?" Tina said.
"Would you help me write the card?" David asked
"Sure, right after we get home tonight, how do I look?"
While they had been talking, Tina had been dressing. She was in a knee
length sleeveless dress with a modest neckline.
"Very lovely but not very uh?"
"Sexy? David, it's how you sell it, not what you're selling, I would think
a salesman like yourself would know that. I'll have plenty of takers
tonight, just wait and see." Tina assured him.
Tina picked up her purse and slid into the Vette. She backed out of the
drive and headed for a nice bar David visited when looking for
companionship other than his wife. Tina slid through one corner and
punched it coming out of the next as she entered a straightaway. David
warned her about their speed but she just pressed harder on the pedal. A
quarter mile further down the road she saw the red and blue lights in her
mirror.
"Oh my god, they're going to arrest you for driving without a license and
tow the car and we're going to be stuck. Damn it Tina, I asked you to
slow down!" David said.
"Calm down David, it'll be okay, trust me."
"Good evening Miss, do you have any idea how fast you were going?"
The officer asked Tina while staring at her breasts.
"I would guess about 95 officer, is that about right? You have to blow
these things out every once in a while, I'm sure you realize that, don't
you." Tina said while looking in the man's eyes. She slowly licked her
red lips and left them slightly parted. David could feel her arousal
building. Her brain would shut down soon if something didn't happen.
"I clocked you at 97 ma'am, and yes I understand the machinery needs
blowing out but you can't do it on the highway. I'll have to issue you a
citation. May I see your license and insurance please," he told her.
"Surely officer, and I'm sorry for speeding." Tina dug into her purse and
to David's surprise came up with her own driver's license. She handed
that to the trooper and then got the insurance card out of the overhead
clip David kept it on.
After signing the ticket, Tina handed him back the book and he handed
her a copy of the ticket.
"Hmm, R. Tanner, what's the 'R' for?" Tina asked.
"Richard, ma'am," he said.
"Do your friends call you 'Dick'?" Tina asked.
David cringed at the obvious line, Tina would get them arrested yet.
"No ma'am, they call me Rick," he replied and he leaned on the top of
the car, getting comfortable.
"Well, Rick, you will have to stop calling me ma'am, my name is Tina,"
she said as she noticed the desired effect was taking place in Rick's
pants.
"Okay, Tina," Rick said, grinning like a schoolboy.
"Rick, when a girl needs to get her equipment blown out, good and
proper, without getting in trouble with the law, where could she go?"
"Well, if you wanted to get that taken care of right now, since I've
already written the ticket, you could just follow me, " Rick said.
Fifteen minutes later, David was once again underneath a man who had
just finished screwing his female body. This time he was staring at the
ceiling of a state patrol car and he was exceedingly uncomfortable. Tina
had enjoyed herself though. The trooper worked his way backward and
stood up. They were in a densely wooded area with a view of the
highway, doubtless the trooper's hiding place to catch speeders.
"That was great Tina, I guess I'll have to skip my dinner break today,
don't want to cheat the state. Now Tina, I can't tear up that ticket, but I
want you to be careful, driving like that can get you killed, okay?" Rick
said.
"Right, Rick, I'll do that, and thanks for everything," David replied. He
straightened his clothes and climbed back into the Vette.
"Let's go eat David, I know you're hungry," Tina said.
"No, I need to clean up and your makeup is smeared. We're going
home."
"David, just do as I say and we'll look fine. Rick used a condom without
even being asked so cleaning up isn't that vital. We can stop in the
restroom when we get to the restaurant."
David was hungry so he followed Tina's instructions and soon had their
face looking as good as it did when they left the house. David drove to
the restaurant, obeying all the traffic laws.
"Chicken," Tina taunted David.
"Once with Rick was quite enough. And that ticket is going to cost at
least $250.00," David groused.
"Oh yeah, like that's going to break you. It takes you what, about an
hour, to earn that much?" Tina goaded him.
"Okay, so it's not the money, where did you get a license?"
"Part of the package Valerie put together with her spell. License, social
security card, high school diploma, birth certificate. Just about
everything," Tina said.
"No college diploma? I have a BA and an MBA. With no college, how
could you earn a decent living?" David asked.
"Even if I have a college degree, I wouldn't use it. Remember, when I'm
in control, I only want one thing." Tina pointed out.
"Yeah, but what about me. I worked long and hard for that education. If I
wind up stuck as a woman, I'm going to be a waitress or a maid. I can't
earn near what I earn now," David felt himself getting mad. They had
arrived at the seafood place Tina suggested. It was quiet and David could
order something low-fat, to keep Tina's waistline in shape.
"Why not worry about that if it happens. You can't change it anyway.
Let's just relax and enjoy our dinner. Hey, that's a cute guy, wonder if
he's alone?" Tina said as David's gaze swept over a man who came in
right behind them.
"Oh goody, here he comes, be a good girl David, talk nice to the guy,
maybe he'll buy us dinner," Tina said, "Lick your lips slowly when he
talks to you and watch his face."
"Stop it, I am not cruising for a date. I'm eating alone and that's final,"
David insisted.
"Hi, my name's Brad, I know this is very forward of me, but would you
like to share a table. I'm alone and if you're not waiting for someone, it
would get us both seated a lot quicker. The restaurant doesn't handle
singles very well. If the food weren't so good, I wouldn't come here,"
Brad smiled shyly and Tina mentally kicked David in the shin.
"Say yes David or I'll scream like this all during dinner." Tina then began
to scream in David's mind. It was amazing how loud it seemed.
"Okay, Tina, you win this one, but I will make you sorry for this, I
swear," David told her.
"Okay Brad, my name is Da?Tina, Tina Johnson. I am alone and I'll
share a table with you but we split the check, agreed?" David said.
"I would prefer to buy you dinner but if letting you pay for your own
meal wins me the opportunity to sit with you, I'll accept that, for now,"
Brad said graciously.
Soon they were being shown to a table, David was about to pull his own
chair out when Tina hissed at him to wait and let the waiter or Brad do it.
Brad beat the waiter to it and helped David sit down.
"Do you live around here Tina?" Brad asked.
"Uh yes, I'm house-sitting for a couple of friends who live up the road a
few miles, David and Lisa Hartley. Do you know them?" David asked.
He was comfortable with the question since he had never seen Brad
before.
"No, I just moved into the area. I just started a new job and rented a
condo on the beach just north of here. I found the restaurant when I came
to town for an interview. They have great food here. Can I order for
you?"
"Okay, something light," David said. What could it hurt to be nice to the
guy? David knew it wasn't going anywhere.
The waitress took their order and they talked while waiting for the meal
to arrive.
"So you just house sit? No career, not going to school, anything?" Brad
asked.
"Not right now. I need to wait and see how a certain situation works out
before I can make any long range plans," David said. 'That should be
vague enough,' he thought.
"I love it here. I was very nervous about moving in and starting all over.
It was all so new and scary. I wasn't sure I would like it but I do. I hope
you don't think I'm being forward, but I was hoping to meet someone
nice. I'm alone right now and I don't care much for that. Are you seeing
anyone in particular?" Brad asked.
"No, no one," David answered and immediately knew he had made a
mistake. Fortunately, the meal arrived then and the
