Assistant? - Chapter 38

Chapter 38

Things were changing around this place. For everyone, Kevin, Carol and Kevin. But things were not the same for everyone, the changes were not the same for all. Some of them really had to work on the changes.

Not Kevin and Carol, they didn’t have to work that hard, but Gene did have some business to do…

Of course, she replied to the message of that lady. She read it all, she really liked that part when she said she was her fan and that she was her idol.

This has a different effect on her now that she’s taken the pills. No longer a mature woman who’s beauty seems to be slowly fading away, she’s got her beauty back, her young looks, and much more. She’s an amazon! So tall, so thick, an imposing woman!

“Thanks a lot for your sweet words, my dear. It’s always nice to meet a fan.” It took her about a week to reply, but she replied. This must be better than nothing, right?

But Gene’s not only replying to be kind, not only to thank her, she had something in mind. The beginning of a plan. This fan of hers, Monica, she could really help her out with her newest idea.

“I don’t usually do this for my fans, but I’m always open to a new project. If you like, I can help you. We should meet! Send me your number and I’ll give you a call.” She’s really looking forward to this.

Her “new project” is more like a social experiment. Not with a large group of people, but with two. And Monica will be the third part of this equation she’s trying to create. She wants to spice things up between Kevin and Carol, and Monica is going to help her.

But she’s not just going to use this lady, she’s actually going to help her. Things will be really simple, all she has to do is to share some of the pills with her. If she needs a change, maybe a glow-up, the pills will solve that part of the problem.

She’s just hoping she doesn’t have a crush on her, she needs her to fall in love with Kevin. At least try to seduce him a bit.

And, worst case scenario, Monica doesn’t exist and she’s just a guy who’s pretending to be a vulnerable lady just to get close to her. It doesn’t really matter, which guy could represent a threat for a woman like Gene? She’s an eight-feet-tall amazon, there’s a lot of muscle in a woman her size.

A lot of strength, anyone will quiver if she frowns at them. Anyone would tremble if she looks at them with anger in her eyes. She can make anyone shake in their shoes.

Whether or not this works with Monica, she will definitely like the idea of adding a third one to Kevin and Carol’s relationship. With, or without, Monica, this is going to happen. She needs a lady Carol can feel jealous of, that she feels annoyed whenever she sees her close to Kevin.

This will be the proof, a real way to test if there’s some love for him inside her. 

Gene was not sure when, or if she will even reply. But that question was answered seconds before it was asked.

“You will!!! No way!!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!” That was really fast. And expected, Gene felt a little too sweet to see her exaggerated reaction. Not a mature, calm or smooth reaction of anyone, this was pure bliss, a silly way that could be embarrassing for most.

But Gene’s not going to judge her for this reaction. She gets it, she’s her idol. This is just natural.

Soon, she send the phone number and called her. Monica’s voice was so sweet, she sounded so nervous to be talking to Gene. It was sweet, the way she was stuttering, the fact that she couldn’t believe it.

She was not acting quite as a 31-year-old woman, but she gets it, she was freaking out, so full of joy and emotions. So joyful, so excited. 

Gene felt she was sincere, and real. So she scheduled a meeting, brunch. They will meet for brunch to discuss this further.

—

This plan was going to take a while. Gene had no idea what she was going to work with.

This gives Kevin and Carol plenty of time to have a change in their relationship. Or to show Gene that there’s any sort of relationship between them.

Back at their place, things were working out. Truth to be told, he feels more as if they were roommates than anything else. This was not giving him high hopes on this. In fact, he was wondering if he could try dating someone else.

But there was one problem, he was stuck at home. And he was shrinking. There’s no one he can talk to about this. It seems he never had true friends. The question is, can he talk to Carol about this?

“Never! She can never know!” Worried she might think he’s losing his confidence, but he’s also worried he might let the truth come out. That he might admit he doesn’t feel worthy of dating her.

Carol’s not the person he can talk about this with. But then with who? Should he hire a therapist? Does he need some outsider with whom he can talk about this with? For sure! He needs to talk about this with someone, anyone!

Not Gene, of course, but he might need her to hire someone. She’s the one who’s got the money, and she’s the mother, this is her duty, right?

Thinking on her, and leaving aside the fact that he still thinks she needs to grant him his every with and pay for every single thing he needs, he’s got another thing in mind.

“Why is she so big?” Why? This just doesn’t make sense!

Carol’s the one who’s with him, day by day, she’s the one that’s “exposed” the most to him, so she should be the one showing the most changes, right? To have the, literally, biggest results. Right?

But Gene’s the one who looks more skyscraping. She’s the one who shows the most striking results. Genetics? They blamed it all on the fact that they have the same genetics, that this intensified the results. Could that be?

Kevin’s not as smart, or not willing to investigate, to get his answer on this. But there’s a seed of doubt planted in his mind already. This doesn’t make sense, this doesn’t seem right. Could it be? Could it actually be?

Then, there was a concern in his mind, one that made him angry. What if Gene’s the source of this problem? She’s a giantess! It’ll make sense that, every Friday when they are exposed to her, they have a change in their sizes.

Maybe he should keep an eye on Gene and  not feel so bad with himself? There’s an easy way to test this, he’ll distant himself from her. Trial and error, if he’s away and suffers of no shrinking, then Gene’s the problem. And if there’s still a change, then he’s the problem. As he’s been told from the beginning.

Until then, he will stay away from Gene, and there’s something more. A small feeling of anger, of hate, has been released inside him. Gene's the problem? Gene’s the source of all his problems? SHE MUST BE!

This wasn’t good, not good for any of them. Now, he’s starting to discover the cause. Pointing this all at Gene.

Now, let’s talk about what Carol thinks of this all.

—

Just as she discussed with Gene, Carol thinks this excessive growth of hers will ruin things for everyone. Kevin can discover them!

It might take a while, but he will certainly be more aware of how things are. To try and see if there’s someone messing with him. Could he suspect his drinks have something? that there’s something in his  meals? Gene really ruined it.

He thinks his treatment’s preventing him from shrinking, or at least keeping the shrinking at bay. What if he asks what the pills are made of? What if he suspects of the pills? What if he tries to find an answer and not just live with whatever they have told him?

This was not good, who could’ve thought that the worst thing for this could be when Kevin started using his brain? Who could’ve guessed that Gene would ruin things?

Thinking about it, if anyone was going to take it too far, based on standards or greed, that could’ve been Gene. Her chances were higher than anyone else's to do so.

Kevin had no way to alter or have a word in this. He’s unaware of the reality of how things work. But Gene and Carol, they are pulling the strings behind the curtain. Carol was worried her own anger, or resentment, could alter her thinking and that she’d end up making a mess with a high dose of pills for him. Or for her? She never considered making herself much taller much faster to be more imposing.

Now, if anyone could do this out of an easier, and more greedy purpose, that would be Gene. Taller? Sexier? Prettier? Those are three of the main things she’d look for on a treatment. Well, maybe not the first one, but it seems she really likes to grow taller.

Was it because she became more imposing? Was she not minding it as a consequence for becoming prettier? Probably this was just the way she was. Trying to get as much of a good thing as she could, and not caring to see when she was starting to take things too far.

How could it be easy for Gene to tell she was taking things too far? Well, Carol was a 6´9” woman who’s totally dwarfed by her, is that the way? If dwarfing a woman tall enough to become a basketball sensation, then she’s got no intention of seeing the truth.

Carol tried to talk to her about this, but she was just too stubborn, or she just didn't care. The last thing she told herself, before falling asleep, was that she had already talked to Gene about it, hopefully she understood. But did she?

—

Through the rest of the week, Kevin was trying to see if he could notice any changes on his own. Was he actually the cause of this whole size change? Was he actually the problem? Was he actually the cause? What’s inside him?

How did this happen? He needed to check, he needed to find out an answer. He’s been too busy wasting his time, he should’ve focused on this! He should’ve put his whole mind into this! But he was too busy leering at Carol. Too busy trying to seduce her, trying to get her attention. The right kind of attention.

Maybe there was something in his routine that was messing up his size? Something in his habits that detoned the shrinking?

He made a list, he wrote his routine down and then he realized… he’s just a normal guy. He doesn’t do anything outstanding, nothing too dangerous. He was just an average guy. He even wondered, could it be because he’s unemployed? That he’s never had a job in his whole life?

That was impossible. Why would that have a toll on his height? There’s no way a job can be related to someone’s biology, their genes, to release this shrinking virus on him.

Karma? Maybe it was karma? 

He could find no answer, he just covered his face and laughed a bit. Karma? There’s no way it hits you this hard. If there was something, this was a spell on him. But who could’ve cursed him? He decided to admit he was just saying nonsense and simply ignored this for the rest of the day.

He was kind of right about this. This could be karma, this was something he deserves. What has he done? Nothing. Worse than that, he was a deuce! If there’s anyone to blame, that’s him, but in fact it’s Carol’s fault. She’s the one who brought the shrinking to him.

With pills, no magic, no mystical stuff, it was science. No one really knows how the pills work, but there are studies, experiments and a lot of tests behind the final product, the size-changing pills.

In the end, Carol checked on his height. 3´8”, Kevin was slowly looking higher and higher at the four-foot-mark. Slowly coming closer to the three-foot-mark. He was concerned, he was annoyed. He was tired!

“Don’t be so sad, it’s just an inch.” Carol said, being kind for the first time when measuring him.

She’s been noticing his progression, he has become a better person. At least around her. Maybe this could be a nice time to stop this torture? To stop the shrinking? She no longer sees the pest she wanted to eradicate when looking at him, now she can have hope.

Hope, for the first time, that he’s a kind person. That there’s good feelings in him and not just arrogance and lust. It’s been a while since he’s made a comment about her being hot. Perhaps, he deserves a reward?

He looked up at her, and not arguing but just saying, he spoke: “It’s easy for you to say… you’re going up. Not down.”

Carol had to understand, he was not trying to be mean, he was not complaining, he was just pointing out the truth.

“Well…” she started.

“How tall are you? Check, I bet you’re even taller now.” he said, feeling sad, and kind of tired of this.

Carol checked, her new height was 6´10”. Taller, and she felt curvier as well. Hotter even.

“What does it say?” Kevin asked, as he could not see her actual height, he wasn’t even taller than her hips.

“It says… 6’10”...” she stated.

Kevin took a deep breath and then looked away. She’s over three-feet taller than him. She’s HUGE! And she’s not even the tallest woman he knows.

When did things go so wrong? When did his life take the wrong turn? He can’t even get out of his house, he’s confined! But why would he want to escape? To meet the outside world as a tiny man? As a shrunken man? He just doesn’t want to be seen.

In fact, he doesn’t want to be here right now.

“Listen, it’s not that bad. I mean, you’re on treatment, right?” Carol said, he wasn’t looking at her.

“Carol, I… I’d like to be alone for a while… I hope you don’t mind.” he said and then walked away of her and out of the room.

At least he was hoping she doesn’t mind, right? That’s some improval, right? She had no chance to say anything before he walked away. She could see the sorrow in him as he walked away. He was not feeling any good.

Maybe she  should do something? How can she help?

No way she’s going to let him see her naked. That’s something he would really want, and this could be just a trick. But what if it’s not?

What can she do? What kind of power does she have? Well, she’s the one who found the pills, maybe she can stop shrinking him? 

Her pills work on men, right? She could try and make him grow back. But she can’t do either without consulting Gene. She can’t take this decision on her own, no matter if Gene has taken several decisions without considering her for them.

—

Speaking of Gene, let’s take a look on what she’s doing.

It’s been days since she replied to that lady’s message. She was a huge fan! Not the kind of fan that will try to dress like her or make her an altar. But she was always so happy and so eager to talk to her.

Gene really liked this. It made her feel so famous! More than just famous, she felt so adored! Maybe if things don’t work out between Kevin and her, she can still keep Monica close, just so that she can tell her how amazing she is.

She’d feed her ego, more than anything. 

Today was a special day. Today, they will finally meet!

Gene has no idea how she looks, she was a bit shy. There was no picture on her profile, and of course nothing in her account.

While Gene’s account was now full of pictures of her and her cheering new size, Monica’s was… kind of empty. Puppies, flowers, the sunset, and a few phrases to wish people a good weekend. She seems like an introvert more than anything, a very reserved person.

But Gene’s going to help her with it.

She suggested they should meet at a fancy coffee shop she knows, one where they can eat outside. Gene knows it’s harder and harder to fit inside places, the outside offers more space. Plus, they have benches instead of chairs, she fits more comfortably on those. But, does this mean she’s got a fat ass now? Well, who cares! Everything about her is bigger! 

She doesn’t mind getting used to her new normal.

Before, Gene sent a message. You wouldn’t miss her because she was the giant lady, but Monica told her there’s no way she can’t recognize her idol. Even if she’s disguised. As if you could hide the eight-foot woman somehow.

Now, Gene was a bit concerned, how can she know who Monica is? She’s got no pictures of her, nothing. But Monica told her she was easy to spot. Just look for someone with purple glasses, black hair and… no sense of fashion. Probably the closest thing to a thirty-year-old woman dressed like a seventy-year-old librarian.

Gene felt sad to see the way she sadly described herself.

If Gene arrives before, then there’s no problem, Monica will find her. But what if Monica arrives before?

“Oh my… I see her…” Gene thought, spotting a black-haired lady with glasses who was… putting sunscreen on. “She’s… nerdy, but I can work with that.” Gene’s got plans, and she’s not going to let anything stop her.

She needs to give this lady a glow-up. She requested it and Gene will grant her this wish. Plus, she could use her help…

How will things come out in this first encounter? Maybe there’s no need to reveal her plan?
