“Wake up sleepy Sarah’s here” a naked Rod was shaking me. I was in his bed. I was in Sarah’s body.
I could hear a car door close outside. I quickly jumped out of bed and ran down to the spare bedroom.
There was a knock on the door. Rod called out “Coming”. It was Sarah, she was currently in my body. Rod opened the door, he had managed to put on a pair of shorts.
“Morning Rod” said Sarah in my usual deep voice. “Sorry I’m a bit early. I was awake and couldn’t wait to see whether we could change back”
“No worries” said Rod. He called out to me “Zach, Sarah’s here”
I came out of the spare bedroom where I had quickly ruffled the sheets. “Morning Sarah” I said in a contralto voice.
“Morning Zach. Are we willing to give it a try? Are you still spotting?”
“Let me see” I said as I walked to the bathroom.
“I’ll get the medallion” said Rod.
I went to the bathroom, did my business and looked at the pad. I was saddened to see there were still blood spots.
I returned to the lounge. Sarah had taken a seat on the couch. In front of her were a half-eaten block of chocolates, a bottle of Baileys and some empty glasses. I decided best to say nothing unless asked.
Rod came back holding the medallion. “Careful with that Rod. We want no more accidents” I said. I turned to Sarah. “There are still spots. So it may not work yet”
“Ok you should try first. We don’t want two Sarah’s. If it works then I’ll change” He took off the jacket he was wearing and held it out to me. I took the jacket and picked up the medallion Rod had placed on the kitchen bench. I touched the medallion to the jacket and myself at the same time.
“I felt a tingle. Tell me if you can see anything changing” They both watched me.
“Your hair is getting lighter” said Sarah
“Don’t get too excited, that happened last time as well” reminded Rod.
I went to the bathroom to look in the mirror. They both followed me. My hair was definitely lighter and shorter. But it wasn’t progressing. We watched intently as it darkened again and I returned to being 100% Sarah McKenzie.
“No worries” said Sarah trying to put on a brave face. “We can try again after work tonight”
“Mmm” was all I could say. Much as I had enjoyed been Sarah for almost a week and despite the fun myself and Rod had had last night I was looking forward to becoming Zach again. I felt like crying.
“How about a cup of coffee” said Sarah. I nodded
When we were back in the kitchen Rod said “I had better put that away” indicating the medallion. I placed it on the bench. Rod picked it up and took it to his bedroom where we had created a special place for it in a cupboard. I glanced at he clock it was 6.45am.
Biddy was whining at the door. So Sarah opened it and let him in. He jumped with excitement greeting us. Then ran off to look for Rod. He pushed open Rod’s bedroom door with such force that we both turned to look to see what was happening. Unfortunately Rod had at just that moment decided to pick up the lingerie I had discarded during our lovemaking last night. No doubt trying to hide it from Sarah. Sarah saw Rod clutching a blue bra and camisole I had worn.
He got up, walked over to the bedroom door and looked at Rod. He looked at the dress draped over a chair and the discarded slip and pantyhose still on the floor. He came back to the kitchen without saying a word and started making coffees. Rod came out and stood near me. Eventually Sarah said. “I actually feel relieved to know you have been intimate. It makes me feel less guilty about what I and Amanda have been up to” He came over and we had a group hug.
That broke the tension and over coffee we discussed the netball game and events at both our work places yesterday. Sarah came and helped me choose an outfit for work, selecting a pale green shirt and dark green skirt with shoes that matched.
When we had finished Rod raised the query about whether my partial change meant that I would have to wait 12 hours before the medallion would work again. None of us knew the answer.
At 7.30 Sarah left saying he would be back as soon as he could get there after work.
I had breakfast, then showered and put on the clothes Sarah had selected.
As I still had a bit of time before work, I decided to make a lunch to take to work. There was not a lot in the fridge, so I had to settle for a small tin of tuna and some dry biscuits.
I called goodbye to Rod who didn't start his job until 9 and left for work.
