Jessica and Kayla stopped in front of the house that Kayla had left this morning, the house had changed, becoming bigger, still on one level but having a taller roof.
“So we live in a warehouse?” Jessica said.
“What do you mean?” Kayla said, “It just looks a bit bigger to me.”
“Oh you summer child.” Jessica giggled. “That,” She pointed at the house. “Is a warehouse. It may look like a normal suburban house, but the zoning codes wouldn't support this height, it's too tall, and the double doors there are built to drive semi trucks through.”
“Oh.” Kayla felt deflated.
“Oh don't be like that, I wouldn't expect you to know that, you're what, in high school? What do you know about housing yet?” Jessica continued, “And besides, it's not like you'd have to worry about the HOA being up your ass about the size of your house.” She paused, “I wonder what it looks like inside.”
Jessica walked them over to the large warehouse doors and tried to open them, only to find them locked.
“Looks like we have to wait.” She said, Kayla rummaged through her pockets and found a key.
“No we don't, bring me down there please.” She said.
“Okay, and such manners, you're much nicer than I thought.”
“I'm nothing if not polite.”
“And perverted.” Jessica said as Kayla unlocked the door.
“Well yeah, what did you expect from a boy?”
“Well, we'll mess with that later, after all, I'm supposed to lose control at some point.” The froze. “Or did the curse just give me total control down here?”
“I'm not ready for that.”
“Like it or not, we'll find out what's what soon I guess.”
“Yeah.” Kayla blushed.
Jessica walked them into their new home, the insides were nice, dark oak floors, a very large round coach in a sunken sitting area, the kitchen was off to the left of where they were standing, and they saw three modified warehouse doors, made of a single side of the double doors they had walked through. One lead to the back yard, the other two were their room, and a bathroom for them.
“Huh. Very nice for a warehouse.” Jessica looked around, using her torso to scan the room.
“How do you see anyway?”
“From by collar bone I guess, just below your waist.” Jessica said, “It's weird, but I can get used to this. Oh hey, we have a pool.”
“Oh, I always wanted one of those.”
“Were did you live before this curse?”
“In a two bedroom apartment on Bradly street.”
“That concrete eyesore?”
“Yeah, it was the most my mom could afford.”
“Our mom, well our mom now. I hope she's nice.”
“Oh, she's always nice, but she does have a little mean streak if you mess up.”
“Most mom's do. I did in my life before...” Kayla reached down and put a hand on Jessica's body. “Thanks.”
“It's okay, I fucked up.”
“Honestly I'm not going to keep telling you that, and neither should you, it is what it is.” Jessica said.
“Let's go see our room.” Kayla said, Jessica walked them over to the first tall door on the other side of the living room and opened it, inside they found an interesting lay out. It was a massive bed, with little frame to speak of, a massive flat screen mounted on the wall opposite of the head of their bed, and what looked to be a desk mounted on the wall, with a laptop and several book shelves and drawers built into the wall, with the words 'Kayla's stuff” pasted on the wall.
“Well at least you have stuff. I guess I don't,” Jessica muttered. “Being just your body.”
“Well we haven't seen everything.” Kayla scanned the room. “See.” She pointed to the side of them, a set of three large cabinets sat to their right, branded across the top of the doors as 'Jessica's stuff'. “Open them, I'm curious to see what they are.”
Jessica sighed and opened the first cabinet. Inside was what looked to be a fifty inch flat screen tv, she picked it up and fiddled with it, it turned on and display the logo of the company that made it, booting up they found that it was a smart tablet. “Wow.” Jessica said surprised. “That's pretty cool.” She shut it off and put it back on it's makeshift charger built into the cabinet. The second one contained large brushes, buckets of paint, and an over sized nail file. The third contained what was obviously personal hygiene products. “No clothes.” She turned them around and saw two sets of giant shoes, one a pair of heels, and the other a pair of slip on shoes.”Well at least I get shoes.”
“Well the curse did say you'd be naked from now on. And hey, how expensive would it be to get a pair of jeans for you?”
“You do have a good point, and at least I have stuff to play with here.”
“Exactly, things are looking up for us.” Kayla said. “But I do wonder...'
“What?”
“Do we have a giant toilet or?”
“Well let's find out.” Jessica lead them over to the second of the giant door in the side of the house, opening the door they both were surprised. “That is one giant toilet.”
Inside the bathroom was a single large room, with no obvious shower, the room did have a drain in the floor, windows up lined the outside wall towards the top of the room, and what looked to be a shower head hung dead center of the ceiling.
“I see.” Kayla said.
“What?”
“It's an all in one, the shower and the toilet are in the same area, they do this a lot in Japanese apartments.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, it's a space saving technique, and hey, it's easier to clean the toilet too, every time we shower it gets cleaned.”
“Okay, good point, less work for us.”
Jessica walked them back out to the living room area where Mrs. Perkins had just gotten back home.
“Good news, Mrs. Smith wants us to continued doing her gutters and roof, she said your work was immaculate.”
“Well, we did do our best.” Jessica answered.
“Yeah, no big challenge.” Kayla said.
“You girls must be hungry, I'll get dinner started.” Their mom said. “I'll call you when it's ready.”
“Okay mom.” Jessica said, walking them back into the bedroom and hopping on the bed, scaring Kayla.
“Don't do that!”
“Sorry, force of habit. And hey, this bed is pretty soft.”
“Yeah, better than my old one.” Kayla began to explore the drawers as Jessica pulled out the tablet, finding that it had a remote program on it she turned on the tv. They would spend the next hour just hanging out.
