Chapter 5: The shrinking.
First day of summer. Jay had decided to spend the morning on his computer. Yuna had called, telling him she was finally available and couldn't wait to show him her gift. He smiled. Yuna was such a good friend! He was pleased he would see her again in the afternoon. She said she would come directly to his house, which is why he chose to stay in, waiting for her.
He was worried his sister wouldn't appreciate her coming to the house the first day of holiday, but when he talked about it, she smiled, suppressed a giggle, and told him it was fine: she liked Yuna.
James was delighted to know they both seemed to appreciate each other. Maybe, he thought, the three of them could get along well enough to spend most part of the summer together. He liked the idea, as those two girls were what he cherished most in his life.
Faith, on her end, couldn't wait. She was almost shivering from impatience, as she imagined the events that were about to happen. James would shrink, and would, AT LEAST, be helpless to defend himself against her feet, feet she had prepared for a while. She now had to wear shoes at all time, otherwise their smell made her nauseous. She smiled. Her bro was in for a treat.
It was soon after they both ate together that they heard a knock on the door. Yuna was here.
James went to open and greeted her with a smile and a warm hug.
"Finally, she's here! Our dear prime minister has deigned to grant us a visit!" he exclaimed teasingly. "You will have to tell me where you've been for so long, and what you did!" he grinned.
"Oh, be sure I'll do more than tell you where I've been," she laughed. "Is Faith there? I'd like to see her before giving you your gift," she winked.
James answered, confused. "Faith?" they might have worked on the gift together, he thought. "Yes, she's in her room," he smiled. Those two decidedly were full of surprises.
Yuna walked straight to Faith's room and closed the door behind her.
"Hey Faith," she smiled. "You're ready?" she asked rhetorically. She knew she was, as they had texted each other almost every day.
"More than ever," she answered in a breath. To say the truth, she couldn't believe how eager she was for James's shrinking to happen. This whole thing became a huge part of her life, and she literally spent her days planning ways to make James's holidays a living hell. Looking at Yuna, she noticed something. She was wearing boots. Fucking boots. In summer.
