When I removed myself from Peter’s body, he slept for the rest of the night. When he finally woke up, I was opening the store. I flipped the sign around and I felt his arms around me, which startled me at first but his body was warm as it wrapped around me.
“Hello there.” I turned around in his arms. The sun was hitting him perfect.
“What are we going to do today?” He said to me. His breath was a little stinky and I puckered my face. He quickly covered is mouth and chuckled behind his fingers. “There is a toothbrush in the back.” He blushed a little and then walked back behind the curtain. I could hear the pipes as water rushed through them. Flipping the lock, I noticed that there was already somebody about to come inside, their small car parked just outside. I took my place behind the counter just as a small college student entered the store.
“Hello.” He said, looking around. The register made a ding on its own and I lightly tapped it.
“What’re you looking for? Something for revenge?”
“What?” He spun on his heels and stared at me. I felt a gush of wind and then I heard a book falling in the back room where the special book lined the walls. I held up a finger and disappeared behind the curtain. Laying on the counter was the same book that fell open when I first merged with Peter. There was a contact possession potion on the page. I quickly made the liquid, mixing the chemicals and ingredients in a little glass (we used to have a cauldron but it broke), plucking the glass jars from the shelves. We had some extra of everything in stock since it had been some time since I concocted something. The dropped in the last dry ingredient to the glass and then stirred it with a thin spoon. It was easy to pour into a vial through a funnel.
“Here you go. It’s a simple little thing, whoever drinks it gets to become whatever they touch until they get inside of another human body. If an object is touching something when you touch the object, you won’t just jump over. It’s weird but here you go.” I handed it over. He hesitated, his hand hanging over the thing for a moment before holding it. The transaction was quick and he handed me a couple hundred dollars.
“Thank you.”
“Wait, this is…” He had already dashed out the door before he could hear me. Peter walked out of the back with his clothes on (bummer) and he joined me behind the counter.
“What should we do today?” He asked.
“Well, I have work but afterwards…”
“What if you skipped work today. You are in here every day and I never really see you out on the town. What do you say we have a little fun with that power of yours?” He smiled and jumps up onto the counter. I stare at the register for a moment and then turn back to him.
“I don’t think I can.” I felt the register open and smack me in the side and I forcefully push it back inside. “Well, maybe I can. Where to?” Outside, people were walking in and out of the shops. I had closed up before an older couple walked in. Peter lead me back to the park where we had our first…date? I would consider it a date but I wasn’t going to say that out loud.
“What about him?” He pointed to a man sitting on a bench eating a sandwich. A piece of the lettuce had fallen out and landed on his stomach which he quickly swatted away.
“Nah.” I scanned the park looking for a candidate.
“How about a woman? Her?” He pointed at a lady walking a dog while talking on the phone. She was complaining about something but I couldn’t quite hear her because she was talking quickly.
“No way. Maybe at some point in my life but having a vagina isn’t a thing I want at the moment.” I waved my hands and then spotted a group of guys who were parting ways. “What about him?” I pointed at the leather jacketed guy and Peter nodded with excitement.
It didn’t take long for me to run towards him. I was pretty quick for being he size that I was. He ended up laying down on a stone wall which was perfect. I rushed towards him and jumped, disappearing into his body. It would have been really weird if people could see me but by the time that I reached his body I couldn’t be seen. Taking control took a moment since it was a completely new body. He fought me, which was normal, but he had no practice and I won. I convulsed, arching my back and finally covering my eyes as they adjusted to the sunlight. I looked at Peter who was watching from afar. I sat up and flicked the leather jacket with a smirk as he sauntered over and then laid back down, soaking in the sun with my borrowed skin.
“That was awesome. You are pretty talented.” Peter hopped up next to me legs and sat with me. I sat up and grabbed his hand to take him to a secluded part of the park where there were more trees.
“Let’s have some fun.” I dragged him into the shade and when I knew the coast was clear, I started stripping. We found ourselves in a little abandoned playground with rusty metal poles and dangerous edges. I had a huge grin on my face as I felt the muscles underneath the shirt.
“Oh. This is what you meant by fun.” Peter smiled as I continued stripping off the clothes. I lifted up the shirt and wiped off some of the sweat that was on my neck, sensually sliding down the fabric and chuckling afterwards.
“Quit it. We should get out of here before some comes.” Peter was waving me back towards where we came from.
“No way! I thought I was supposed to be the one who tells us not to do fun things. Looks like I was wrong. Oh, one more thing.” I looked down after throwing my shirt into the shrubbery and then I pulled down the bottoms. “He won’t remember.” I winked at him.
Peter looked around one last time and then rushed into me, his arms sliding beneath mine and wrapping around my body. I felt his lips against my own and I felt his hand exploring my rippling muscles. I started taking off his clothes, each garment coming off and piling up in front of the bushes. Our bodies were warm as we pressed them together, our erections sliding against each others skin. I pulled him in tighter as we kissed more aggressively and then I heard a snap. I ignored it but Peter pulled away.
“What was that?” He asked, looking in the direction it came from. We couldn’t see anything.
“Probably an animal.” I shrugged as I tried to see what could have made the sound.
“No. It was loud. We should go.” There was another snap and then we saw the outline of a group of teenagers coming in our direction.
“Oh shit.” I gathered my clothing and then dashed. Peter managed to get dressed and I got my underwear and shirt back on, holding the clothes as we sprinted away from the playground, my feet being poked by the broken sticks and abandoned leaves. It occurred to me that I could just jump out of him but that would be rude. So, I found a place behind a group of trees, quickly threw on the clothes and jumped out of him. I caught up with Peter just as the teenagers reached the playground and the body that I was in walked into the light with a confused look.
“Well that was fun.” I smiled at him as he bent over to catch his breath. He looked at his watch and then stood up.
“I got to go to work. I get to stock shelves until I die.” Peter kissed me on the cheek. “I think I like you better like this.” He got close to my ear. “Or inside of me.” He winked and then jogged off to get ready for work. I had already spent most of the day out of the shop and I needed to at least open it for a little bit. When I got back, the door was unlocked and the sign had been turned.
Dad was back.
