Alicia helped Henry back to the room. He stumbled more than once. Alicia told him “You have a much smaller body than you are used to and those cocktails were pretty potent. Add that you had a few drinks with dinner and it’s not surprising you are a bit under the weather”
“Just let me get these shoes off”
“I’ll help you out of your outfit in a minute but first we need to take another sachet. You may not have noticed but we have cut it pretty fine”
Henry sat down on the lounge while Alicia went to the bedroom. He looked at the clock. 11.38. They had cut it fine. Henry chided himself for not paying attention. If not for Alicia he would no doubt still be at the bar probably having another cocktail. He could have so easily woken up to more prolonged changes. What would have happened? Would he have kept this face and tummy for the remainder of the holiday or would it just be the wide hips? He didn’t know and it probably didn’t really matter anyway. They were getting towards the end. He would be himself soon enough.
Alicia was back, she was filling a glass with water. He watched her drop a sachet in. “Which one are we doing?” Henry asked.
‘You’ll find out in the morning” was Alicia’s reply. “You’re not going to be sick are you? You don’t look so good. If you are, best do it before taking this drink. I don’t think we can risk you throwing it up”
Henry was feeling nauseous. Alicia helped him to the bathroom. To the sink. “Try and throw up but be quick about it. We have about 15 minutes”
Henry stuck his fingers into his mouth. It didn’t take a lot. Soon he gagged and liquid flew up out of his throat. He vomited into the sink. He vaguely recognised carrots. They must have come from the vegetables he had with dinner. He purged 3 times and immediately felt better but for the taste of vomit now in his mouth. “Careful not to soil you outfit” warned Alicia.
Henry ran the tap and washed the vomit down the sink. He cupped his hands and caught enough water to rinse out his mouth. Spitting out the first two mouthfuls before swallowing the third.
Henry looked in the mirror. There was Alicia’s sister looking back at him. She looked very pale and her blue eyes were bloodshot. Even like that though he could see that girl was very attractive.
“Are you feeling better?” asked Alicia. She had a half empty glass of water in her hand. “I’ve had my dose. Do you think you can keep this down?”
Henry nodded “Yes better now” he took the glass and swallowed it.
“5 minutes to spare. What was I worried about? Just try not to throw up again. I don’t think that would have a good outcome” Alicia took the glass off him.
Alicia took him back to the bedroom and undressed him until he was only wearing the shaper panties. She toyed with the idea of leaving them on him and decided why not. She put him into her chemise that he had worn the previous night. She then took him back to the bathroom and took the wig and make-up off before leading him back to bed.
She then undressed herself and cleansed her own face. She actually felt fine, quite happy that she had sensibly started the night with a lemon squash. If she was in the same condition as Henry they would no doubt have missed out on taking a sachet. Alicia found Henry was already asleep when she re-entered the bedroom. She put on her other chemise but decided to go commando underneath. She was also curious about what the morning would bring up
