Sam snatched the small strip of photos from the machine and spun back around to face me. Based on the big grin she had on her face, I could tell she was pleased with her new body. Before I could say anything, she gave me another big hug. “Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!” She said pulling me tight against her.
“You’re welcome.” I awkwardly said as I wrapped my arms around her returning the gesture. Sam’s newfound perkiness was throwing me off, but I didn’t care. Holding her in my arms actually felt pretty nice. Her new thinner body felt good pulled tight against my own.
As we broke our embrace Sam was the first one to break the silence. “So...” She paused for a moment batting those big brown eyes at me. “Where to next?”
“Um... I guess I’m not sure what all is down at this end of the mall. So we can just keep wandering unless you had any ideas.” I said as I tried to remember what stores were nearby.
“How about that fitness store again!” Sam said in a chipper tone as a big smile came across her face.
I paused and thought about it. On one hand bringing back buff Sam wouldn’t be the worst thing, but at 5’7” I would actually have to worry about her trying to beat me up. “No...” I said as I looked at her skeptically. “Let’s just keep heading the way we were going.”
“Okay.” Sam said giving me a little pout, as we both continued deeper into the mall.
While we continued to wander, I was able to better take stock of Sam’s new body. She kind of had a girl next door vibe to her now. Her clothes fit her body loosely now, and actually looked like they were chosen for comfort over looks. Her body had been through some changes as well. Her breasts looked smaller than before, and her butt was definitely not quite as plump. It’s like her more prominent features had been diluted as she went from fit to fat to girl next door. I wasn’t complaining though, because she was a still a solid 7 out of 10.
“Perfect!” I said to Sam as my eyes locked onto the next store we would be entering. It was a local arcade/gaming store that I would occasionally frequent. It was kind of like two stores in one. The back half was an arcade with a bunch of classic arcade games and pinball machines. For a few bucks you could go in and play anything you wanted. It always hit me right in the nostalgia. The front half of the store was the retail portion of the store and was stocked with a mixture of board games, video games, and collectibles.
“Okay!” Sam said in a chipper tone. I was actually surprised a former jock would be interested in a store like that.....
