"Go on, open it!" urged Katie, clasping her hands giddily.
Claire turned over the bundle of wrapping paper in her hands. Her roommate prided herself on picking just the right gift for each occasion, and this holiday season was no exception.
Gingerly unfolding the paper, she revealed a small journal with a black leather cover.
"I know you're always filling up notebooks, Claire," Katie smiled. "I thought this was just the thing for you."
Claire looked more closely at the book. Its leather cover was ragged and well-used, although the sheets of lined paper inside were crisp and clean.
"Check the first page," Katie encouraged.
Claire flipped to the start of the journal, where a message had been written in a flowery script:
Happy holidays, Claire! Did you know that anything written in this journal becomes true? -- Katie
"Very funny, Katie," Claire said, rolling her eyes at her roommate's attempt at humor. It was a thoughtful gift, but she was all too aware now that she had forgotten to get anything to reciprocate. She flushed crimson in her cheeks.
It wasn't easy for Claire, living with such a statuesque beauty. She was ashamed to admit she harbored lewd thoughts about her roommate's tall, lithe body. Katie had the biggest, sexiest breasts that Claire had ever seen, let alone on such a slender girl! Claire imagined she'd need to use both hands to wrangle even one of her roommate's oversized breasts.
Some friends had mentioned that Katie's massive chest looked out of place on her thin frame, but Claire disagreed, even though Katie would sometimes complain about the weight of her bosom. Katie had kept up a rigorous fitness routine to strengthen her back and assist in carrying her big chest, becoming delightfully firm and tight all over.
Then there was Katie's incredible body. She was slender and toned everywhere, with powerful thighs and arms that remained alluringly feminine. Claire had never met any other woman with such perfect breasts and so slim a figure, and she found it plenty titillating just to watch her roommate's huge chest bouncing and tight curves slipping around their apartment.
She had developed darker fantasies too, like the idea of seeing not just one of her beautiful roommate, but a pair of Katies! Oh, to see Katie together with her clone or identical twin, especially if they were both competing for her affection. But this was an impossible dream. And besides, as far as she knew, Katie was an only child.
"I'm so sorry, Katie," she finally admitted, "But I didn't get you anything this year."
Katie's grin faded. She turned away, then cast a glance over her shoulder. "That's okay, Claire. I know how busy you've been."
Claire's heart sank as she watched Katie sit on the couch and sigh, staring down at her phone.
As busy as Claire may have been, it now seemed to her that no amount of distraction was worth the disappointment she saw on Katie's face. Unless...
She looked back to the book in her hands. Flipping it open, she pondered the curious message on the first page. She sensed an opportunity to change the subject.
"So what does this message mean, Katie? Anything I write becomes true?"
Katie looked up, her lips pressed together.
"The store clerk told me that book was magical, but then again, she'd probably say anything to close a sale. So, I thought I'd take her word for it, and I played it up in my message to you," she said half-smiling, then rose to her feet. "Anyway, I have to head out soon with my friends. I'll see you later."
Claire grabbed her pen and looked up, leering at her roommate. She loved to admire Katie's toned body, and she could easily spend an eternity just staring at Katie's giant chest.
After all, Katie was beautiful, and she knew it. But to Claire's ongoing dismay, Katie never seemed interested in being more than friends.
Just underneath Katie's message in the journal, Claire added:
Katie doesn't mind that I didn't get her anything for the holidays. She wants to spend the whole day at home with me!
She rolled her eyes. Writing down her idle fantasies felt ridiculous.
"I'm sorry I didn't get you anything this year, Katie," she frowned, looking up.
Katie brightened, smiling back at her.
"That's okay, Claire! Don't worry about it at all. Hey, why don't we stay in today? We can watch a movie, bake some cookies, and we'll even order delivery if you like."
Claire sat back, stunned. Katie had seemed upset only a minute ago, but now she wasn't bothered at all. And she never wanted to spend this much time together. What was going on?
Claire's eyes swung rapidly between the book and Katie. Could it be...? Her eyes drifted back again to her stunning brunette roommate.
Katie was wearing a loose shirt with an oversized neck opening, which granted Claire's peering eyes a generous view of exposed cleavage. This wasn't the first time Claire had gone into a trance admiring her roommate's breasts, nor was it the first time she'd been caught.
Katie, reclining on the couch, sensed this attention. She cleared her throat.
"I wish you wouldn't stare so much, Claire," she frowned.
Claire flushed red and looked away. She glanced down at the book, and with pen firmly in hand, she wrote:
Katie likes when I look at her breasts and wants to encourage it. She loves showing off her chest to me.
She put her pen down and looked up, just in time to catch Katie making an elaborate show of raising her elbows and stretching. Katie placed her hands on her knees, straightening her arms and squeezing her large chest between them. She looked back down at her phone, fluttering her eyelashes while presenting her exposed flesh in Claire's direction.
