Agree

"Are you sure? I wouldn't want to impose," I told her even though I was grinning on the inside.

"Nonsense. I'm glad to help," she told me. I could detect a hint of anxiousness in her voice. It was clear that she didn't want me rejecting her offer.

"I don't know Cara," I said with a sigh, "You're a good friend but I'm not sure if I should stay here. Maybe I should just move in with Alex. I'm sure he wouldn't mind."

"No!" Cara's voice was now wild with panic as she rose slightly from her seat. She seemed to realize this and tried to act casual, settling back down. "I mean. Your friend probably doesn't have his own place right? I've got the space and honestly, I could use the company."

I looked at her and pretended to think. I struggled to contain my smile at the eagerness she was trying and failing to hide. "I suppose... You know I can't pay rent right?"

"I don't care about that," she said immediately. "I'm managing on my own just fine."

"I see... Since you want me here so badly, I guess I can move in."

Cara's face split into a grin and she unexpectedly threw herself at me for a hug. "Thank you!"

I cackled madly at the absurdity of the situation even as I enjoyed the feel of her soft breasts against mine. Here I was moving in with a woman I barely knew, rent free, and she was even thanking me for it!

It only took me a couple of hours to move my stuff to Cara's house. I texted my father and told him that I was moving out. I gave him very few details and made sure that it wouldn't be a problem in any way. With my power, it was extremely easy to make him think it was normal and I already knew that my power worked over electronics.

Cara was incredibly accommodating. She helped me unpack my stuff and even cooked me lunch. As I saw her struggling with the dishes, I took them off her hands and carried them to the table. She shot me a grateful smile and thanked me.

As I set the food down, she hugged me tightly. "You're so helpful."

I was confused for a second before realizing what was happening. Because of my suggestion, even doing something so simple as carrying the dishes for her made her extremely grateful. I chuckled and returned the hug, squeezing her tighter before letting her go.

"Least I could do."

After that, we just relaxed on the couch and chatted for a long time. She told me about her job and how stressful it was. I in turn told her about the college I was going to go to and my aspirations. Though, with my newfound power, did I even need to bother with college?

"I'm trying to get into medical school," Cara told me at one point.

"Really," I asked in surprise. Cara flushed and nodded.

"I can't keep living like this forever," she told me lightly. "Honestly, I thought this was gonna be a temporary job but three years in, I'm still stuck here."

"What's the problem? You could always just quit," I asked her curiously. From what she told me so far, her father could easily afford paying for medical school.

I could clearly see the hesitation on her face as she debated on something.

"Something wrong? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to," I told her. Of course, I could have always used my power, but I wanted to test if my earlier commands had progressed as intended.

"You know what," she said after a while. "I don't usually talk to anyone about this and I think it's time I got this off my chest. I feel like I can tell you anything."

Just as I hoped, my power worked splendidly. She gave me a nervous smile and continued.

"When I was seventeen, I met a guy. He showed me a side of life that I never had the change of exploring when I was constantly moving with my parents. I fell in love with him, at least I thought I did. He introduced me to people, the wrong sort," she said.

Her hands nervously wrung the edge of her top. "My parents didn't like him of course, but I didn't listen. When I turned eighteen, I ran away from from and got mixed up with the wrong group. I moved in with that guy who I thought I was gonna spend the rest of my life with."

"I assume that didn't go as planned," I asked her sympathetically.

She shook her head sadly. "It lasted three months. One day, I woke to find him gone along with all the money I stole from my parents. The next month, the landlord kicked me out."

I winced. Eighteen, broke and homeless must have been rough on her.

"I had no choice but to go back to my parents. It took a long time for things to settle between us. When I came to my senses and told my dad I wanted to become a doctor, he told me I had to earn it."

"And that's why you're working as a nurse?"

Cara nodded. "He told me I if I can get into the medical school, he would pay for everything. Until then, I had to move out and stand on my own feet."

"I can only imagine how hard it must have been for you," I said. When I moved in, I honestly did it because I wanted to stay with a hottie till I left for college but damn, I didn't expect her to have a story like this.

"I can't complain." She shrugged. "I think it's fair. I put them through a lot and I need to earn their trust back. It's been three years since then. Staying on my own has taught me a lot, honestly."

I took a look around her apartment. While it wasn't completely bereft of necessities, she only had the bare minimum. She wasn't living what one would call a comfortable life.

"Have you tried the exam," I asked her.

"I took it thrice," she said, her eyes downcast. "I'm trying very hard but it's difficult with my job. I have very little time to study and when I do, I'm too tired to focus. I'm twenty three now and my chances seem bleaker every year."

She seemed to be on the edge of tears and I pulled her into a hug. Ever since I got my powers, I only ever used it to make my life better. I improved my body, played with Alicia and Erica's bodies as I saw fit, got laid and took Brad down a couple pegs. The woman now resting my head on my shoulder made me rethink what I wanted to do going forward.

"Tell you what," I said, gently stroking her back. "I'll do everything in my power to help you get in," and I could do a lot.

I heard Cara chuckle. "That's sweet of you John but I doubt you'll be able to do much."

I smiled. If only she knew. I held her at arms length and looked into her eyes.

"I know you're a brilliant woman Cara," I said. I didn't really. She could have failed the exam thrice due to pure incompetence for all I knew. No longer though. I felt my power take hold. I could control minds and change people's bodies at will. Now, I just made the hot latina in front of me smarter. I simply added the brains to her already astounding beauty.

"You said you're unable to focus right?" Cara nodded. "This is gonna sound weird but it's completely true. So listen carefully and believe it without question."

She gave me a confused look but nodded nonetheless.

"Being around me is relaxing for you. The closer you are, the less exhausted you will feel after work. Physical intimacy especially, will make it easier for you to focus. The more intimate, the more easier you will be able to study afterward."

She snorted in amusement but didn't comment on the obviously insane statements I was making. Hey, I may have decided to help the woman but I was still a hormonal teenager.

"It helps that you're very attracted to me isn't it," I asked her and she blushed lightly. "We're already such great friends and I don't think you'll mind our relationship getting physical."
