Convincing Sarah

“You want me to do what?” Sarah asked approaching David in efforts to disrobe him so she could see Destiny.

David grabbed her hands as she was reaching towards his waist,“just...wait a minute, I want to have a word with you alone first. Please, just come with me to the park. It won’t much of your time, nor effort and it would really mean a lot to me.”

“Come on,” She wrestled with David to free her hands, “I want to see Destiny!” David’s grip didn’t let up.

“Sarah...please..”

“Why don’t you want Destiny in this conversation? Is it about her?”

“No,” he lied, “it’s about me. It’s personal. Will you please do this for me?”

“Ugh! it’s bad enough that I’m letting you live here rent free, without you asking me to do you favors. If it weren’t for Destiny, I wouldn’t even let you stay here at all. You’re lucky you’re with her. To me, you’re Destiny’s bad side.”

“So you won’t just do this small thing for me?”

“For Destiny I would do anything...for you, nah”

“You’ll only do this if Destiny asks?”

“That’s right.”

David released Sarah’s hands and walked past her as she resumed clawing at his waist.

“Come on! Let me see her,” she pleaded, “you’re being selfish!”

David walked into the bathroom and lifted up the skirt he was wearing.

“Destiny, I know what you’re up to.” David said.

“I’m not up to anything!”

“You’re trying time get me fired so that only you’ll have a job, your commandeering all of my friends and you’re making dates with any person that so much as looks at you. You’re doing this all in the pursuit of replacing my life with yours leaving me to have you in my mouth and controlling me without end.”

“Oh yes. I’m up to that” she admitted, “why do you bring it up?”

“I just need you to do ONE thing for me to make up for it.”

“What?”

“I need you to tell Sarah to accompany me to the park tonight.”

“Why?”

“I can’t say, but I feel like you owe me that much for complete dominating my life and forcing me into this wretched shell your magic has damned me in”

“I suppose...but what’s in it for me?”

“If you do this for me, I won’t complain about what you’re doing anymore.”

“Oh David...” Destiny laughed, “don’t make promises you can’t keep. But I suppose, now that you bring it up- it IS a little rude to do what I’ve been doing to you. So, I’ll meet you half way.”

“What’s that?”

“Well, I can’t lie to Sarah and frankly I don’t care if she goes to the park with you or not. So, I’ll allow you to use me to trick Sarah into thinking you’re me.”

“How?”

“You tell her what you need while I’m in your mouth but not controlling you.”

“What?”

“Yeah, I’ll be in your mouth and pretending I’m controlling you, but really you’ll just pretending to be me while you trick Sarah, but you’ll have to make a convincing case. Sarah knows me very well.”

“Really? You won’t just say one simple line to Sarah, you’re going to make me go through all that?”

“That’s my offer. Take it or leave it.”

David stared at Destiny with a frustrated insistence.

“Once in a lifetime opportunity David...and it’s going fast. My charitable offer is pulled off the table in
