Larry hopped into his car. But when he closed
the door, he found out that Evangeline was already in.
“Don´t think about it, if you told her you´re
coming, then you are.” she declared in a nagging tone.
In a way, she could read his mind, so there was
no use in trying to evade this thing he just compromised to.
He just hardened his grip on the steering wheel
and let out a grunt. She knew he couldn´t get out of this, even if he could,
she´ll find the way to arrange things. She could do it so easily.
Larry just drove off and head to work. He
wasn´t looking forward to meet anyone right now. He had lost five inches in
height. Maybe he could´ve got out with it with an inch, but five? There´s no
way no one will notice. He had to find a way to sneak into his office without
being caught.
“So… Evangeline…” he spoke to the lady on the
passenger seat of his expensive sports car. “Is there a way to, you know, help
me get into my office without being… spot?” he asked.
“Sure, if you can climb the wall from outside,
I think you´ll be good.” She declared, obviously avoiding the obvious answer.
“Come on, ok, you´re funny. But seriously,” he
smiled, “Can you help me with this?”
“No.” she said.
“What?” He couldn´t believe it.
“You heard me, I won´t do anything to avoid
people seeing you, it´s silly.” She replied.
“But I´m shrinking… YOU´RE shrinking me.” He
protested.
“Come on, you know very well that you caused
this yourself. Any consequences are because of YOUR mistakes. Besides, you
should start telling people this before you end up shorter, like four or three
feet tall.” Evangeline was not going to comply in any way. Whatever he wanted
her to do, will be just a mere thought unless she agreed. And so far, she
won´t.
“FINE.” He said stopping before the red light. “But
what am I supposed to say? An angel´s shrinking me because of the way I am?”
“Well, you got a point there… let´s see, what
to say this time…” she had already done this, hundredths of times, in different
ways, but she always found a perfect excuse for these things. After a little
thinking, she said: “An illness.”
“Illness? He asked, “What kind of illness makes
you shrink?”
“Believe me, they will fall for it. Listen,
I´ll tell you what to say and things will come up great, believe me. It always
does.” Said the optimistic angel as she proudly laid back on her seat.
He knew this wouldn´t work. He feared ending up
in the news or something like that. He kept driving, now he was just a few
minutes away from work. But the idea of meeting acquainted people there made
his stomach grumble with nervousness.
He parked his car on his designed spot and
sneaked out of it. He didn´t want to be seen. If they spot him from far away,
then there was no chance they could tell he was shorter, but he didn´t want to
greet anyone he already knew.
HE entered the building, rushed thru the
reception without saying a word and made his way to the elevator. Lucky him,
there was no one else but him inside.
The doors closed and he was finally safe.
“Hahaha.” Chuckled Evangeline.
“What´s so funny?” he asked with a mad tone.
“You. Hiding from everyone so that no one can
see you. You know, I think you´re making this a bigger deal than it already
is.” She said.
“But I´m shrinking, loosing inches in height, I
think this is MUCH of a deal.” He claimed.
“Yeah, but not right now, you should worry
about it when you´re smaller.” She didn´t even believed he could change; she
was so sure that he´ll end up smaller. It sucks when your angel has no hope on
you.
The elevator stopped on his floor and he rushed
to his office, not looking at anyone and just focusing on his main goal. Be
alone. He walked thru the multiple cubicules of people working, passed some
desks and even passed her assistants one.
He took a peek at her empty desk and said:
“Huh? She´s still not here… why am I not surprised…” turns out his assistant,
Lexie, was kind of… lazy. But what can he expect, he hired her because of her
boobs, not her curriculum.
He just walked into his office and closed the
door behind him.
“Finally, safe here… on your lair.” Spoke
Evangeline who was sitting over his desk.
“Can you give me a break. It´s too early to
deal with your nonsense.” He spoke.
“Nonsense? Hey, I´m just trying to keep you
company,” she said as she stood up and started walking toward him.
Larry shut once he spotted Evangeline´s form
approaching, he freaked out. “Is she…? No, that can´t be…” he thought as she
approached and stopped a few steps away from him.
Evangeline stopped right in front of him,
putting her hands on her hips. He didn´t notice before, but now, they were
about the same height.
“Are you… taller?” he asked.
“No, I´m just wearing two-inch heels, but sure,
this makes me about the same height as you with those shoes of yours.” She
replied.
Heels, that was it. He found a small relieve as
she gave him the answer. But it was no relieve at all. She was only an inch away
from being the same height as him, or was he an inch away from being her
height? This felt awful, demeaning.
There was no point on denying it, soon, he´ll
be shorter than his coworkers. Even the small women that worked there. Then he
thought. “Lexie…” as he turned at the still empty desk outside his office.
“She´s… short.” She was, she stood at 5´3” on
her bare feet, but she always made sure to wear heels, giving her some boost to
look taller. Two-inch heels like Evangeline, but some other days, she went for
the four-inch ones.
He just walked into his desk, ignoring
Evangeline, and walking right passed her. Then, he sat on his desk and laid
back on his chair. Worried about the outcome of his current predicament.
The worse part was, the cause, Evangeline, who
was standing right in front of him. But she wasn´t a stain that you can clean,
or something you can wash away. She´ll stay, tormenting him until he
understood.
Things were awful, he felt angry, desperate,
weak. All at the same time. How was it possible that such thing as an angel was
his personal punisher?
And she seemed so cheerful, walking from side
to side inside his office. As if it was her right to be there.
“Don´t you have anything else to do?” said
Larry desperate by her.
“Sure, I have a ton of things to do…” she said.
“So… you´re not gonna do that instead of just
fooling around in my office?” he protested, wanting her to leave.
She chuckled and approached. “I told you, I can
do all at once, even if I´m here with you, that doesn´t mean I´m not doing
anything else…” she replied leaning over his desk, pushing her breasts together
without noticing.
He peered at them, but he was too annoyed to
enjoy the sensuousness of her round bosom. “Ughhh!” he grunted as he turned on
his computer and decided to put his mind into something else.
Evangeline was not going to be easy with him.
She kind of enjoyed how easy he got mad. He seemed to be frustrated all the
time, but that may be her fault.
“You know what… I think I´ll leave you alone
for a while… but you know, I won´t exactly leave you, but you won´t see me, if
that´s what you´re looking for…” she declared, knowing for sure she was pissing
him off with her mere presence.
“Sure, go ahead, do whatever you need…” he said
without taking his eyes off the computer´s monitor.
She simply waved at him, without him noticing,
and then disappeared.
Finally, Larry was alone. It didn´t took long
before Lexie finally arrived. But he paid no attention to her, he was busy.
He was working, checking all the things to do
on his list, but then, he remembered something, the meeting.
“Fuck, why today…” he thought as he rubbed his
eyebrows with his fingers, as if he was trying to relieve a migraine.
He didn´t want anyone to see him in his
current… state. But there were so much things he could avoid. Going to that
meeting was not one of them.
*knock* *knock* It was Lexie on the door,
knocking before she opened and said: “Morning… I just wanted to remind you of
your meeting.” She declared.
“Right, the meeting… thanks.” He said soberly,
not needing to be reminded.
Lexie stepped in, wearing the two-inch heels he
was sure she´ll be wearing, and said: “I know I was a little late today, but
the thing is… my cat, he´s ill and…” he just waved his hand, cutting her off,
he didn´t need any excuses. He didn´t care right now.
“It´s fine, whatever the reason was, I´m sure
it was important… just make sure to be here on time, ok?” he spoke.
“Yes sir, thank you…” she said.
“No problem, and please, call me Larry.” He
smiled at her. He never wasted a chance to get down with some of the hot chicks
he knew. Lexie may be short, but she´s got her thing, a nice body and some nice
boobs.
“Ok… Larry…” she spoke with a certain emphasis
in his name. She was not into him, but if she could score some points with him
to make her job easier, then she will take them. Besides, she wouldn´t mind if
she needed to get her hands dirty in the process.
The meeting was an hour away. Something Lexie
forgot to mention. But he knew the time. His main concern was how to evade the
obvious questions. How to hide the fact that he´s… shorter. He decided to stop
thinking about it and let time solve things. Maybe no one asks about it.
Time flew by, before he knew it, he was waiting
right in front of the elevator. He was heading to the top floor, where his boss
was. Mrs. Davis. She was the head of the building, a position he was very much
looking for.
“Someday…” he thought as the door opened, revealing
someone who was already in. Cathy, the HR manager.
“Well, hello there…” he said as he walked in.
“Ugh, it´s you…” she spoke.
They didn´t have the best relationship as
coworkers. She knew he was kind of lazy, and that pissed her off, together with
his constant flirting to her. But who could blame him? She had good looks.
Bright blue eyes, a nice physique, and she was
around his age. He decided to take a shot with her, but she always declined his
proposals. Mainly cause she caught him staring at her, eating her up with his
eyes.
“This idiot, just cause he´s… not that ugly, he
thinks everyone wants to get laid with him…” she thought as he stepped in.
“So… heading to the meeting?” he asked.
“Sure, what else…” she said, not wanting to
have any small talk with him. It was enough to share an elevator with him,
there was no need to chat as if they were friends.
There was an awkward silence for a moment, but
Larry knew she disliked him. Maybe she found his little tease annoying instead
of gallant, perhaps, he got too drunk on the last party and said things he
couldn´t quite remember.
But that wasn´t in his mind now, his main
thought was that Cathy, a woman who used to stand seven inches shorter than
him, was amazingly tall now.
He was still taller, but not by much, now, 5´6”
Cathy stood taller than his eyebrows. She didn´t like to wear heels, she always
used flats. Still, she was almost as tall as him.
He felt awkward, and at the same time
intimidated by it. At first, he had a hard time stepping inside the elevator
when he spotted her, but he kept things cool. He didn´t want her attention in
any way.
He just greeted her in an attempt to make her
turn and ignore him. Because deep down, he knew she´ll be asking questions
about why he´s only two inches taller than her.
The newly tall Cathy was making him sweat. Not
because of her nice curves; at any time, she could speak up and point the
obvious, he was shorter.
He knew she won´t pay attention to it, or him.
But he was terrified to find out what will the rest of the people at the
meeting say.
The meeting was with the main boss, Mrs. Davis,
and the other heads of each floor. Asides of Cathy, the rest were men. They
won´t say a thing about him. He didn´t mess with any of them, and neither did
they. Most only had their minds on keeping things working. Some only thought
about their finances, others about how to improve the productivity, and some,
Like Cathy, wanted to promote a healthy environment. Something Larry didn´t much
cared for.
The elevator finally stopped at the top floor,
and she lost no time on stepping out without turning at him; she just walked
straight to the meeting room. On the other hand, Larry was nervous. He cleaned
the sweat of his forehead before he stepped out and walked towards the room.
He just walked in, embracing himself for when
anyone said: “He´s shrunk!” He knew it was silly, but it could happen.
Lucky him, it wasn´t the case, each of them was
busy with their respective cell phones. Except for Cathy who was just looking
at the board in front of the oval-shaped table where they were all sitting.
He felt relieved, he lost no time and rushed to
take his spot. Next to the guy from accounting.
“What´s up Trevor…” he greeted him, to what he
responded with a “hey” without taking his eyes off his phone´s screen.
He took a seat, relieved by the lack of
interest each of them had to start a conversation. But everyone was busy in
their own things, most only wanted the meeting to end so they could return to
their respective floors.
Within a minute, someone stepped in, the boss.
“Good morning, I´m glad you´re already here… so
punctual…” she chuckled.
Mrs. Davis was a woman on her late 40s. She had
a nice shape, mature woman curves and a pair of big breasts contained on her DD
bra. Her round butt swayed as she made herself into the room.
But she wasn´t alone. Behind her, came in her
assistant. Violet. Larry laid way back on his chair, wanting to be swallowed by
it.
Turns out, Cathy´s not the only woman he asked
out. A couple months ago, he had the nerve to ask Violet out, he literally told
her: “I haven´t been with a such a hottie who´s as tall as you… would you make
my day and share a drink with me…” obviously, she rejected his proposal.
Violet was tall, taller than him back then. She
stood at 6´2”, a whole inch taller than his original form. He asked her out
because of two things; the first one, he was curious about how will sex be with
a woman about the same height as him; and number two, she had a nice butt.
Her hips were wider, proportional to her
height, and it all caused her ass cheeks to be bigger too. He was sure that she
worked out because her swaying butt was firm and thick. Some nice muscles
beneath that smooth flesh of hers. But she got annoyed by the fact that he
immediately pointed put her height and treated her like a random chick with
whom he´ll get laid and never call back.
She immediately spotted him, but he turned away
playing dumb. Maybe, asides of asking her out that one time, he always ogled at
her butt whenever he went to Mrs. Davis office.
“Ok people, let´s begin with this meeting, I
know you´re all eager to go back to your desks and continue with the great job
you all do, so we´ll make this quick…” said Mrs. Davis who now stood in between
the table and the big white board in front of it.
She wasn´t lying, the meeting was short. Around
fifteen minutes. And during all that time he could feel two things. The rest of
his coworkers were paying attention to it, or at least looking at the board. Even
Cathy, who was sitting right in front of him, focused all of her attention at
it, mainly because she always got mad when she was in the same room as him; she
needed to forget he was there.
But someone else, Violet, didn´t pay any
attention to it. Of course, she had done the presentation Mrs. Davis used for
the meeting. During her “free” time, she turned her attention to Larry. He knew
she was looking at him, but he didn´t dare to turn.
He didn´t knew what was it with all women
there. Of course, he asked them out, but he didn´t have any worse intention
that any other man could. He just walked away when either said “no”. Although,
the way he asked things, as if he was the big deal, maybe that pissed women.
It didn´t help when he asked some other women
out in front of those who he already asked out. Much less when they agreed, and
after the date… and sex, never called back. Perhaps, there could be a certain
club at the office, one with the name the “fuck Larry” club.
He´s sure he had dated at least a dozen of
women from work. Most outside his floor, he didn´t want to see the lady
everyday after he never called back.
Right now, he was regretting those decisions as
Violet turned at him, with sharp eyes. He didn´t want to see her while
standing. He felt short with that inch difference, there´s no need to explain
how he´ll feel once he looks way up at her, standing five inches taller than
him. And that was taking in count the inch his shoe sole added to him.
Inside Violet´s mind, she was thinking: “Is there
something different with him? Did he cut his hair? IS he wearing a different
shirt? Did he lose weight?” she was trying to catch what was it with him.
The meeting ended, now he could walk away from
Violet´s intense stare. He waited for everyone to leave before he did. He
didn´t want anyone to see him so… short. If no one could see him while
standing, then he´ll be fine. But when he was about to stand, he listened a
voice that said:
“Lawrence… dear, can you hold on a sec… I´d
like to speak with you.” It was Mrs. Davis voice.
He swallowed and while turning, he replied:
“Sure.”
Right then, his boss´s form began to approach.
Walk towards him. He had a hard time processing how tall she was now. She was
wearing some two-inch heels, that made her the exact same height as him.
He smiled, but it was only a mask that covered
the insecurity he felt as he watched his boss coming closer. Getting taller and
taller by the second. When she stopped, just a few feet away from him, she
smiled and said:
“You know, Lawrence, I´d like to discuss some
things with you during the day. Maybe in…” then, she stopped for a moment, and
took a good look at him.
He kept smiling, but inside he was terrified by
it. She narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing him before she added: “Sorry but, there´s
something different with you… have you lost weight?” she asked.
“Well…” he started. He had sure lost weight,
but the height was what mattered the most to him right now. How was it possible
for her not to notice that a man, who used to stand five inches taller than
her, was her same height?
“Never mind, the thing is, we need to talk
about some of the paperwork you sent last night.” She spoke, leaving his
“condition” on the side.
“Ok… what about it?” he asked, turning his
attention into something other than his height.
“Well, there´s a few things missing, but I´d
like to discuss it in my office.” She declared.
“Oh… like, right now?” he asked, not wanting to
be there right now. Because if he did, then he´ll be at the same room as the
towering Violet, and he didn´t want that. He knew she was more perceptive. She
will definitely notice he shrunk if she got closer to him.
“No, not right now. I´ve got some things to
work on. But, let me see… you know what, I´ll send you an email letting you
know when to come, ok?” she declared.
“Sure.” He replied, feeling odd by the fact
that he was eye-level with her. Now everyone seemed bigger for him, this wasn´t
right.
As he walked away, on his way to the elevator,
he just didn´t felt good. He knew it would be just a matter of time before
someone pointed out his shrinking. And the more he interacted with people, the
faster they will find out. Now, there was a meeting about to come. One alone
with Mrs. Davis, and Violet. She was her assistant, so it was just logical that
she´d be in the room at the time.
He stepped inside the elevator, alone. Worried
about the near future. He had a worried look on his face, and what´s more, he
was actually getting a stomachache because of it. How were things going to be
when he shrank even more? When he reached the five-foot mark? Or even, when he
passed that?
He felt as if he was about to vomit.
