Chapter 5 - It's Time to Play Again
The week went by at different speeds for everyone involved.
Jonah found the days moving at a slow pace as he desperately tried to piece together the memories of what had transpired earlier, to no avail.
Angela's moments were faster for her time was filled with sessions galore. Having to adjust to each client's needs almost on the fly was hard yet so very rewarding when things worked out the way they were supposed to. The way she was treating her brother was a risk, she knew it, but she also knew risks worth taking should not be cast aside.
Clarissa was in a strange limbo for a while. After seeing hypnosis in action for the very first time and enjoying the uncanniness of it all, she buried herself in books, hoping to learn more. When her thoughts focused on the printed letters, hours passed by in minutes. When they didn't, seconds dragged like years.
As for Gail, she kept moving at trailblazing speed. Her excitement at what was to transpire was always present. She smiled a lot, imagined even more, and played with herself when no one was watching. It was quite the rush to masturbate to orgasm while people talked about their issues on the room next door. She had no issues of her own unless her extraordinarily libidinous nature counted as one.
Yes, the week went by at different speeds for everyone involved. And then, the weekend came.
Saturday morning heralded the dawn of a new game although some preparations were still in order. With extra lighting and some furniture rearrangement, Angela turned her basement into a dungeon. It was far from perfect but it didn't need to be. It served only to punctuate the mood and give room for Jonah's imagination to fill in the blanks.
When she was pleased with her work, she headed upstairs, took a shower, and texted Gail the address as planned. Including her in the proceedings still felt weird. Jonah would probably feel the same way, if he had any awareness of it all, that is.
"Let's make sure you don't, big brother," she said, cell phone in hand.
"Hello?" his voice cracked on the other end of the line.
"It's me, Jonah. Can you drop by after lunch?"
"Sure, Ange."
"How are you doing? Is everything okay?"
"Yeah, I think so."
"You think?"
"I have this strange feeling there's something I should remember right now but I can't."
"I'm sure you mean 'forget', dear brother."
"What?"
"The best thing for you to remember is to keep forgetting on command. 'Diaper' and 'diaper' *snap*. Forget what you said right now."
"Hmmm..."
"Yes, Jonah?"
"What happened just now?"
"Nothing. You would remember if something had happened, wouldn't you?"
"I..."
