Nick wasn´t very sure about what he had got
himself into. It was true that it´s better trying and failing that not trying,
but he wasn´t completely sure if Maddy was betting because she knew he wouldn´t
be able to reach or if this was just another way to prove he´s not capable of
doing something else.
Right now, Nick was laying in bed, waiting for
Maddy to come out of the bathroom. He was watching the ceiling as he let all
his thoughts flow, looking for an explanation to this. Why was Maddy acting in
such way? He could be trusted to stay home alone, or at least, she should let
him choose who he´ll stay with.
“Come on, at least she could ask if I wanted
her mother to come here” he thought, “She´s literally a bitch, I don´t know why
she doesn´t see it…but I guess she can´t complain too much, after all, she´s
her mother…” Cynthia was a really unpleasant person, but she knew when to speak
her thoughts about Nick.
She always pretended that Nick was ok whenever
Maddy was around, you could still tell she didn´t appreciate his company too
much. But when Maddy left the room, she totally turned into another person,
well, in reality, the only thing that changed were her words. She could start
saying things like: “So…do you have a real job now Nick” or “I don´t get why my
daughter fell in love with a guy like you, I mean, don´t you agree she deserves
better…” those and many other things had been said.
Whenever she said those kinds of things, she
always did with a sort of proud annoying smile, acting as if she wasn´t talking
shit about him. He never knew what to say, the only ideas he had were telling
her that if she didn´t liked it, well, there´s the door. But he knew Maddy will
be really upset, or what´s more, she´ll be sad. Since the first time she introduced
her mother, she said he´d love her, and even if it takes some time, they´ll get
along.
Up to this point, it wasn´t the case, in fact,
every time Nick met Cynthia he felt as if he disliked her more; since the
moment Cynthia stepped into the same room where he was, he was counting the
seconds for her to leave.
“Fuck…I guess tomorrow won´t be such a pleasing
day” he thought as the bathroom´s door cracked open and a thin fog of hot water
came out as a gentle breeze. Between those glassy clouds of fog, Maddy emerged.
Nick couldn´t believe his eyes, she was wearing
a night gown, one that´s transparent and only covered the boob area. He could
see her underwear and her feminine silhouette underneath. In that moment, he
forgot all about tomorrow and focused all of his attention at her.
He scanned her from top to bottom and then
back. At his current size, which the night measurement said was 4’1”, she
seemed huge. Her legs seemed thicker and longer, as if they could go on
forever. Her hips seemed wider, but her boobs, they got all of his attention.
He wasn´t never sure whether he was a boob guy or a butt guy, but when his gaze
met her feminine mounds, he couldn´t turn anywhere else.
He kept staring at her huge bosom, wondering if
they were bigger than his head now. Those soft boobs just hanging there,
calling for him. His member was already rising from underneath the sheets. He
was just waiting for her to say it, to ask him to strip her down and exhibit
her naked flesh. But she didn´t say it.
“Mmmm, someone looks happy” said Maddy as she
closed the bathrooms door and approached to bed. Nick just stood there
salivating and swallowing at the magnificent beauty of her.
She came closer, and rose his chin with her
index finger, so that he was looking at her and not her boobs, then she spoke:
“I can tell someone likes what he sees…” he just nodded in stupefy. “Awww, is
my outfit a little too much sweetheart?” she asked, Nick didn´t answer, he just
watched her face as she spoke.
He couldn´t believe she was a foot and a half taller
than him now, it was insane. But he had to say something, he needed to speak
not just watching her and nodding yes or no. “Uhmm, I…are we, maybe, ehem, you
know…” he felt really shy for some reason.
“Having sex?” she asked easily knowing what he
meant.
“Y-yes!” he replied.
“I´m afraid we can´t, I have to be at work
tomorrow, remember, and you mister, you need a good rest because tomorrow will
be a busy day…” he felt sad, if she didn´t want to have sex, then why was her
outfit so provocative?
“B-but, why can´t we…?” he was saying as she
placed a finger on his lips.
“Shh, I´m sorry Nick, but we can´t do it right
now, like I said, tomorrow I´ll get back to work, so I need to wake up earlier,
that also means we need to get to bed earlier too, don´t you agree? Or do you
want me to stay asleep and lose my job?” she asked, not meaning the last part,
at most she´ll have a verbal warning, she was actually a model employee.
“N-no, I-I mean, it wouldn´t be good, but I
thought…” he really thought she meant what she said, but still, he was craving
for it, if he could at least get a good view of her bare bosom and maybe touch
it with his hands, that will be enough.
She leaned and poured a big kiss on Nick´s
forehead, then she said with a sweet tone: “Not right now honey, just close
your eyes and try to sleep, ok?” he knew he wasn´t getting anything tonight.
She laid next to him and turned off the light
on the nights table. She settled in bed and turn her back at him. He stayed
there, with his eyes open looking straight into the darkness. Once his eyes
adjusted to the lack of light, he could barely see what seemed to be the
ceiling.
He kept thinking for a while, trying to ignore
the fact that his now statuesque girlfriend was laying next to him. He didn´t
dare to make a move and try something, he was very sure she´ll get mad; now for
some reason, he was worried about what she thought and whether she will get mad
about some things. He kept thinking about it for a moment, why was he so afraid
of what she thought or if she will get mad? It was normal for a man to be
conscious about it with his couple, but not as he was seeing it right now.
Before, whenever he considered she will get mad
or something like that, he always tried to find a way to turn her attention
into something else, he never felt worried, he mostly smiled about that and
just tried to make amends; he didn´t feel proud about doing wrong, but he never
took things so seriously. But now, before doing something that could be
considered “wrong”, an image of Maddy always came to his mind, and with it came
some thoughts; he started thinking whether Maddy will like it, what she´ll say
about it or if she will be ok with that. Basically, he felt as if he needed to
ask for her permission.
It was weird for a 26-year-old to ask his
girlfriend for permission, but he didn´t felt so sure about things now. At his
current size, Maddy stood a good deal taller than him, whenever he saw her, it
had two effects on him. The first thing he did when he saw her immense luscious
body was craving for her, he wanted to get some intimacy, feel her flesh, touch
her skin. But there was another effect she was having on him, ever since their
last fight, there were some ideas he began to have. The mere thought of her
disapproving what he did, or if she will get mad about the decisions he made,
it concern him.
He knew Maddy was supportive and carrying, but
what if he went too far? At this point he wasn´t sure how far was too far. He
knew she didn´t trust him to be alone outside, so she limited that aspect of
his life, and conditioned him to have her make him company whenever he went out
of the apartment. He didn´t like where things were going, and much less knowing
the fact that the shrinking hasn´t stopped.
He resigned in closing his eyes and wait for
the new day to come, there was a big chance that Cynthia will visit him the
whole week, but he liked to think that there was a small beam of light between the
despair that Cynthia will bring, a beam that will allow him to choose and stay
with Ashley, the bet they made had given him the chance to get another option,
hopefully, he could win.
The next morning, Nick woke up by 8:23 am, he
rubbed his eyes and stepped out of bed. His bed was too tall now, so he had to
hop to get to the floor. He stepped out of his room and walked into the
kitchen. There was a delicious aroma carrying him all the way there, a really
sweet smell, and a really tasty one too. He entered the kitchen and found Maddy
in front of the stove, she was making pancakes and some bacon. His mouth began
to water with the idea of her sweet buttery pancakes and the salty taste of the
crispy bacon.
“Good morning” he said.
Maddy turned, she was wearing her work clothes
and on top of that an apron, which avoided her clothes to get stained, she
smiled and said: “Well, look who´s up, I thought you were going to sleep thru
the whole morning, I was this close to cancel our bet” she said raising her
hand and closing the gap between her fingers.
Nick got really nervous for a moment, but he
knew she was kidding, so he settled down. “Sooo, you´re making breakfast?” he
asked smiling.
“Oh yes, I´m making some breakfast for the two
of us…but I wasn´t really sure how much you´ll eat, but I guess we can give the
rest to my mother, don´t you agree?” she asked.
And that simple question turned his happy
morning into a bitter one. The idea that Cynthia was coming made him mad. But
he knew there was a way to avoid that. He turned into the cabinets and wondered
if he could reach.
They seemed taller than they used to, so he
wasn´t very sure if he will be able to reach. He approached as Maddy continued
preparing breakfast. He stood in front of the counter, thinking: “Well, it
doesn´t seem so far from here…but, can I…?” and just like that, he stretched
his arm, and when he was half way there, he felt a shadow looming over him from
behind.
“Well, someone looks eager to check on his bet”
Maddy said with a cheering tone. He immediately lowered his arm closer to his
torso and turned.
“Oh yeah, uhmm, I guess we can check on that
right now, don´t you think?” he replied sort of nervous.
“I guess you´re right, breakfast´s ready
anyway…let me just…” she said as she stretched and opened the cabinet, he felt
her weight pressing him forward, into the counter. He wasn´t sure why she
didn´t ask him to move, but he kind of liked the way her smooth body pressed
against him, the only bad thing was that there was a hard counter in front of him,
poking his ribs.
“Ok, there we go…” she said as she stepped
back. Nick turned to watch what she placed on the cabinet; he gave a couple
steps back because he couldn´t see anything from there. Once he was a couple
feet away from where he stood a couple seconds ago, he saw a can of peas
standing alone in the middle of the cabinet. He could barely see the top.
He cleared his throat and began planning his
strategy. It was simple, he didn´t even have to see the can while he attempted
to grab it, he only had to remember where it was and search for it with his
fingers. “Ok, whenever you´re ready” Maddy said as she crossed her arms beneath
her bosom.
Nick approached to the cabinet. The first thing
he noticed was that the counter top didn´t allow him to get close enough, it
was like a small wall standing between him and the can, he had to stand like a
foot away from the cabinet. He stretched, but the counter was really annoying,
so he decided to climb it.
“Why not?” he thought as he tried to lift one
of his knees up to the top and pull himself, but then Maddy said: “Nah ah, no
cheating, I told you, if you want to reach then it has to be standing, no
ladder, no booster steps, and of course, no climbing on the counters…” she said
as she waved her index finger from side to side in denial.
Nick immediately put his leg down, and for some
reason, he felt as if his girlfriend was nagging him. The size difference could
really change the perception of someone´s things. However, he stretched the
most he could even if he had the counter obstructing his way.
He had to stand on his tip toes to have a
better scope. Then he stood in only the tip toes of his left foot, trying to
reach with his right hand. He could touch the lower border of the cabinet, that
was easy, but pulling an object from it, that´s another thing.
He really struggled as he attempted to win this
bet, all the while, Maddy just smiled at his futile attempts to grab the can.
She almost laughed at the fact that he couldn´t even reach a simple can of peas
form the lower shelve. But she knew she couldn´t say that out loud. She wanted
to win the bet, not humiliate him.
“Oh my, just look at him, he just…giggle…he
can´t even reach, his hand is still like 4 inches away from the can…should I
tell him or…nah, I think it will be better if he recognizes he lost, anyway,
what time is it?” she checked on her watch. It was already a quarter to nine,
she knew her mother should be there in any minute.
In the meantime, Nick was still trying to grab
the can, or at least touch it. He moved his hand from side to side, trying to
find it with his fingers, but it was useless. He couldn´t even see where it was
or if he was close. A minute went by, then another and another, and finally, he
gave up.
Nick lowered his arms and stood in front of the
counter, looking at the floor in total defeat. How come he couldn´t even reach?
A very simple task he will no longer be able to do. He remembered all the times
Maddy asked him to reach stuff for her from the top shelve, every time she said
she couldn´t reach, now he was the one that couldn´t reach.
He felt sad, not because he had lost and now
Cynthia was officially staying, but because he couldn´t even reach. It only
meant that day by day, there were things he could no longer do, easy chores
that were now impossible for him to attempt. He hated to admit it but, he even
doubted he will be able to stay alone further on.
“Don´t be sad…” Maddy said as she stepped
closer and caressed his head. “I know you gave your best, it´s not your fault”
she added, not mentioning the fact that he wasn´t even close.
Nick rose his head and smiled, at least he
wasn´t alone, Maddy was there with him; she was comprehensive and sweet, he
knew that even if he felt down, she will always be there to make things better.
He opened his arms and hugged her.
Right now, his eyes were level with her lower
ribs. But he didn´t care, he just turned to the side and hugged her tight,
knowing she was kind, that she was carrying, and she will always comfort him.
She smiled back at the little Nick standing in front of her, she couldn´t help
but feel how a warm sensation was flowing thru all of her body.
She adored this; she had just consoled him with
her words. She wasn´t very sure if it was just that or if there was something
else, some other reason why he approached. Maybe he felt vulnerable and wanted
someone to be there. She was having some ideas about how much he really needed
her now. But this feeling, a warm sweet heat filling her body, it felt amazing,
she felt quivers thru her spine as his small arms tried to pull her tight.
She continued caressing his hair as she
thought: “It´s ok, I´m here, you can hug me all you need…” she immediately knew
it, he wasn´t looking for comfort, in reality, he was looking for protection.
Even if he didn´t realize what he was doing, he was trying to escape from his
new reality turning to her. He knew that even if all things changed, she will
be there for him, with all her love and affection.
After that, he let go, she didn´t wanted to,
but it was almost nine. She couldn´t be late to work, but at this point, there
was no other option. But no one would mind if she arrives a couple minutes
later, she hasn´t been late up until now, so it won´t be so bad.
Nick sat on the kitchen´s table and began eating
his breakfast. Then, someone knocked on the door. He knew who it was, but
didn´t turn away from his plate. Why should he bother in opening the door for
that woman?
“Coming!” Maddy said as she rushed to the door.
Once there, she opened it, revealing her not so pleasant mother. Finally,
Cynthia had arrived.
“Hi mom, I´m glad you could come” Maddy said.
“Hello dear, sorry I´m late, but you wouldn´t
believe the traffic…” she replied. Cynthia was a woman on her late fifties. She
had her hair died in a solid blonde color. She wasn´t as tall as Maddy, she
stood at 5´5” in her bare feet, but she always wore three-inch heels, which
made her an inch taller than her daughter.
“No worries, you´re here now, and that´s all
that matters…would you like something to drink, a coffee, some water?” she
asked.
“Oh no honey, I know it´s late and you should
be at work by now, I don´t want to take any more of your time. I´ll take care
of that…” she responded.
“Ok! Well, I´ll leave now, you know where
everything is, and if there´s anything you need just give me a call, ok?” Maddy
said as she grabbed her purse and keys.
“Don´t worry honey, I´m sure everything will
come out very well, have a good day” she said as she smiled at her.
“Thank you, you too…Bye Nick, I´ll come back
sooner than you thought!” she added and then closed the door behind her.
Nick was expecting her usual goodbye kiss, but
he knew it was late, so he didn´t mind. What he did mind was the fact that
Maddy had left him home with this annoying woman.
“Ok, where are you honey? Maddy has told me all
about your…” she turned and stopped as her eyes finally met Nick. She couldn´t
believe what she was seeing. A small man eating on the kitchens table. She was
eager to find out how small he was, or if it was even true, but for her
surprise, things seemed to be better than she expected, well, he was smaller
than she expected actually.
“Oh my…look at you!” Cynthia says as she
approaches to the kitchen´s table.
“Morning Cynthia” Nick replies in a dry way,
still eating his breakfast.
“Well well well, good morning to you too…” she
said as she stood closer to Nick, now she was just separated by the table´s
length, and all she could do was stare at her reduced daughter´s boyfriend. She
couldn´t believe it, but she couldn´t stop smiling either.
He watched her for a second or two, just to
notice the excited impression on her face. He turned and kept eating, he was
half way done with his breakfast.
“Are you enjoying your breakfast… little one” she
said in a sarcastic but very organic way.
“Yesh” he says with his mouth filled with
pancake.
“Oh no honey, it´s not ok to talk with your
mouth full…” she said in her own very annoying way.
He swallowed and said in a harsh but polite
way, “Sorry.” Not really meaning it.
“Ok Nick, when you finish up your breakfast
make sure to wash the dishes. When you´re done I´ll let you know what else to
do” she said as she walked away and sat on the couch, turned on the TV and
watched the news.
“Ok!” Nick replied dryly, knowing this will be
a long day.
