Week 4
Chapter 1
Monday
My week began like it has every week recently, with the sound of an updated chore list sliding under my door. Ugh, Mondays! It always felt like a slap in the face, erasing all the hard work from the previous week and setting me back to square one.
But these days, it wasn't just the usual Monday blues. There was this extra layer of ugh, thanks to my period showing up. Great timing, as always. It made everything feel ten times worse. The cramps, the mood swings... and let's not even talk about how it cuts down on my point-earning potential. Some of the high-point chores? Yeah, it's not happening when I feel like this.
So, I grab the list, already dreading what's on it. And it's pretty much the same old, same old. My cleaning duties, somehow, had a point slashed again. I scoffed. Seriously? The wardrobe makeover chore was gone because the mission was accomplished there.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. Damn, who was that? I can't deny that this whole setup has had some exciting perks. Looking at my reflection, I feel a mix of pride, uncertainty, a bit of embarrassment, and, yeah, a little vanity. Can't help it, I guess.
Opening my laptop, I felt an odd peace settle around me. The training videos, bizarrely, had become oddly relaxing. Each video marked another chapter in my "training," I couldn't help but wonder where this path was leading me.
I zoned out after the training videos, my mind still shrouded in that strange, comforting haze that followed each session.
My phone's sudden, loud chime yanked me out of my thoughts. I scrambled to grab it, almost dropping it before the screen lit up. It's a text from Kimmy. Seeing her name alone brings a smile to my face. Her message pops up: "Hey, Sweetie, I can't wait for another epic date like the last one. How about Sunday? Sorry, I'm swamped till then. Oh, and one more thing -- promise me, you won't touch those training videos this week. Just trust me on this. Catch ya later, babe."
Kimmy's text left me wanting clarification. After all, the last training video left me feeling incredible, so why would she want me to skip them this week? Yet, I knew Kimmy had my best interests at heart, so I trusted her. "Excited for Sunday! Kimmy. I'll take your word for it :)," I typed back.
Moving on to the chore list, her advice to plan echoed in my head. I fished out a notebook and started plotting, determined to figure out how to navigate this week.
My phone's calculator must be so over me by now. I've been hitting it with every possible combo of chores, trying to work out the math. But nope, the numbers just don't add up unless I do something significant.
The mirror seemed to call me, wanting to clarify my thoughts. Lip fillers? A boob job? It feels kinda out there, but also... kinda, right? Is this the new 'me' I'm heading towards?
Braden! Ugh, his endless jokes about my chest. Maybe it's time to shut that down once and for all.
I give myself a firm nod in the mirror. Decision made. I'm doing a mega clean-up today, and then, yep, I'm going for the surgery. After running through the numbers again just to be sure, it was confirmed. And there it is. I'm half thrilled, half freaking out. "Oh my God, am I actually doing this?"
After busting my butt all day with cleaning, cooking, and whipping up a dinner that left my roommates practically licking their plates, I couldn't shake off the heaviness of the decision I'd made. Telling them would set everything in stone. This arrangement had taken me far beyond what I could have predicted three weeks ago.
I cleared my throat, trying to sound serious despite what my voice had become, "Hey, guys, I, like, have an announcement to make."
All my roommates, Braden, Jason, and Teddy, turned to look at me, curiosity written all over their faces.
Maybe just agreeing with their plan was enough. Perhaps they still needed to get the cash for it. After all, only one of them had a job, and the other two were still students. These thoughts buzzed in my head like a swarm of anxious butterflies, giving me a moment's pause. However, a surge of confidence grew within me as I remembered that the wait for an appointment could be months away. By then, I could be out of this arrangement!
I pushed aside the doubts. "I've, like, totally decided to go through with the lip fillers and breast augmentation on the chore list."
Silence. It stretched on forever. Then Braden's grin broke through. "I knew you'd come around."
Teddy couldn't hide his excitement while Jason gave me this reassuring smile.
Braden leaned in, the cocksure grin still plastered on his face. "You're finally going to have tits, slut!"
Jason chimed in, "Yeah, and we've got you covered. We can get you an appointment tomorrow. The doc's a family friend and top-notch."
My pulse quickened. This was happening faster than I anticipated, but there was no turning back now.
Chapter 2
Tuesday
Tuesday morning hit me with this crazy cocktail of nerves and thrill. I cracked my eyes open, and my heart was already sprinting. It felt like I was perched right on the brink of something huge, something life-altering. Probably because I was.
I reached for my laptop instinctively, which housed the training videos. They offered me comfort, relaxation, and a temporary escape from reality. Kimmy's text from the previous day interrupted my actions: you're killing me here, Sweetie.
Stifling a yawn, I stumbled out of bed and quickly went through the pre-surgery rundown the doc had emailed over. I still couldn't believe this was happening.
My lips were about to receive an upgrade, turning them into pouty sex appeal. I must admit that they had never been a prominent feature on my face.
