The Genie

It worked. It actually fucking worked!

Jessica watched in disbelief as Simon’s idea and work suddenly bore fruit. All the nonsense, all the work, all the moments, all the realizations and fucking pain, and it worked!

Within milliseconds of seeing that same ridiculous adornment of silk cloth and jewelry, that same hair, that same face and skin that greeted her every morning in the mirror, Jessica Edwards leaped from the bed and lunged herself at her Mother.

After everything she was here. She was finally here!

“MOM!”

The genie hugged her mother, her large breasts and perfect body felt as if she had found a long lost sense of home. The body of the woman that had given birth to her, that fed her, and held her. The one that had done so much to make her safe.

And for her part, her mother’s realization that she was being embraced by her own daughter came as a shock. The woman’s voice gasping her name as all air left her,

“J-Jessica?”

The cheerleader poked her head up and smiled at her mother in relief. Seeing her face again, her eyes, and tightened her embrace, refusing to let go of her,

“Y-Yeah, Mom, it’s me! It’s really me! I brought you back!”

For a brief millisecond, her mother’s eyes showed that disbelief that this moment was even happening again. Jessica realized she must’ve dreamed of this moment. The genie had sacrificed so much that it was impossible to believe that they would ever see each other again. Her mother’s eyes, a mixture of amethyst and the same emerald green as her own, recognizing it was truly the daughter she had left behind.

Then those eyes, and the rest of the elder genie’s facial features snapped from shock to that of pure horror. Her face paled instantly and she began to shake her head in abject terror. Without warning, the teenage genie felt her mother’s supernatural strength as she quickly pushed her off with both hands forcefully. Jessica’s mother now was the personification of pure panic as her hands clutched her hair and she began to pace across the floor of her Master’s bedroom. Trying to put as much distance between them as possible,

“NO. NO. NO-NO-NO-NO-NO! NO! This can’t be happening! No! No, no, no, no!”

That wasn’t the sound of a mother happy to see her child. Jessica’s stomach dropped as the blonde goddess suffered what only could be described as an outright panic attack. The maternal genie screamed briefly in terror and held her arms and hands to her face. Her outburst continuing to confuse and twist her daughter’s heart,

“No-no-no-no, I’m not supposed to be here! I would have heralded Master’s arrival! This isn’t possible! They can’t know, they can’t know! They’ll punish me! They’ll find out where I’ve gone and make me bring them here! This is a trick! This is all a trick! I can’t let them find her! No! No! They can’t know it was her! It wasn’t her fault!”

Quickly the Djinn’s expression of panic turned into a broken smile as she began nodding to herself, falling to the floor as she continued her babbling and continued to break in front of the two teenagers with no regard to their presence,

“This is my fault! Yes-YES! I-I-I’ll tell them it was my fault! I-I had ****. I made a mistake with my magic! I’ll just go back…I’ll tell them that my mind was playing tricks on me and they’ll never know! I-I was foolish! Yes, yes, stupid! Foolish! Stupid! They all know better than me! I’m a blasphemer! I’ve learned my lesson! I just can’t help it! Yes…Yes…”

“M-Mom?”

Now it was the turn of her daughter’s face to pale as Jessica saw the outright horror in her mother’s eyes turn to anger. The elder blonde genie uncurled herself from the ball she became on the floor and hissed at her angrily. Her hand’s gripped to her daughter’s arms as her face displayed abject betrayal,

“Jessica! How could you! What were you thinking? After everything I did! Everything I warned you to avoid! How could you be so short sighted! What in all the realms made you so foolish!”

Tears were swelling up in both mother and daughter’s eyes as the elder blonde’s scolding continued,

“I told you, Jessica! I told you to hide! That I couldn’t stay! Now they will come for you! Do you not understand! How could you use your magic so recklessly! Do you know what will happen to you? To me! I’ll be destroyed because of this! You will make me suffer more now! After all I’ve done, I can’t protect you anymore! Now that I’ve been brought through the veil I’ll be noticed! They’ll sense me! Do you know how much danger you’re in by doing this! They will sense your power! They will find you! How could you do this! How could you be so stupid! So utterly stupid! Reckless! I told you! I told you to stay hidden! You endanger us both by….”

Jessica’s face scrunched as she looked down rejected by her mother’s hysterics. She had thought her mother would be happy to see her again. After everything that happened. The genie had to leave so suddenly the first time because she had ****, didn’t she know?

Unfortunately, Jessica could feel the anger in the room rising, but it wasn’t her own,

“Hey!”

Both Mother and Daughter suddenly snapped their eyes toward the other person in the room who suddenly snapped at the elder genie. Simon’s glare and scowl made it clear he was not going to let his childhood companion, the love his life be berated for something. Not after having had to watch and be with the cheerleader throughout the painful nights and conversations since the moment she learned her heritage. Jessica did worry, though, because she had no idea how her mother would react.

“Don’t talk to her like that! She’s your daughter! You enter her life out of nowhere and leave, then she finally sees you again and you act like she’s the plague!”

As her mother released her, Jessica watched the sense of outrage shift as well as confusion morph onto her face. The blonde bombshell now stuck between her mother and her boyfriend as the elder became guarded,

“A mortal?”

The mother genie took a step backward, her bare feet with fabric attached over by golden rings on her toes twisted against the wood floors. Her eyes narrowed, but she quickly looked at her daughter with paranoia,

“Jessica, who is this mortal? Why is he here? What is the meaning of this!”

Suddenly the teenage genie felt the urge to clear her throat and walked in front of her mother and grabbed Simon by the hand. He looked confused as the blush formed on his girlfriend’s face. This was going to be the most awkward introduction in the history of introductions, and Jessica Edwards knew it.

There was no way of avoiding it now. The moment her mother’s eyes were to wander to Simon’s hand the genie would know. She attempted to clear her throat of the knot forming inside it with a brief cough, and then held up her hand with some hesitation,

“Um, Mom. This is Simon Harris. He’s…um, well…he’s my Master.”

Simon’s emotions suddenly changed from outrage to outright nervousness. The popular queen of Eastlake high watched as the awkward dork from high school reappeared as his face went blank. The realization of how he was being introduced causing his emotions to react inside him like a pinball machine. A pink tint rose from his cheeks as he stared at her mother and rose the hand that wore her ring and motioned a slight wave,

“Uhhhh…Hi.”

Jessica sighed and rolled her eyes as she communicated to her boyfriend telepathically,

“You couldn’t be smoother than that?”

“Your Mom just referred to me as a mortal and found out I’m your Master. I’m nervous….”

The genie sighed and looked back at her mother. Her eyes widened as Jessica watched the woman that gave her life stare at Simon, mouth agape and in complete shock. The side of her mouth twitched upward, the genie’s unique emerald and amethyst eyes fluttered and then locked on him. Meanwhile her daughter walked slowly up to the genie and waved a hand in front of her face.

“Um, Mom? Are you okay?”

The cheerleader watched her mother look down at the floor and away from both teenagers. Her body frozen in place, unable to process what was happening as she slowly knelt on the floor. Jessica watched as the blonde genie remained on her knees and bowed her head, hands clasped on the joints as the crown of her golden blonde hair faced her daughter.

“Mom?”

Her mother’s voice suddenly sounded weak, shaken, and trembling near a murmur,

“I-I need to go back, Jessica. Send me back. Send me back, now. Please….”

She wanted to go back? Jessica’s face scrunched at her mother’s panicked state. The way she was so quick to blame and dismiss their bringing her as her own mistake? The daughter knelt down in front of the genie,

“Mom. I don’t…I….”

Jessica gasped as her mother’s face shot up to stare at her, eyes clearly on the verge of tears and turning red, as she seethed through her teeth and looked at Simon with a glare,

“I-I don’t know what my daughter promised you, but she’s only a youngling compared to our kind. She is ignorant and knows nothing about our ways. I’m afraid what she has done has placed you in great danger, and she is selfish and foolish for doing so. In exchange for my immediate return, I will promise you power…a desire beyond anything she could offer you…return me and this will be yours…”

Her mother’s voice, Jessica’s eyes widened as she listened to her shaken and tension filled tone toward the young man standing in front of both genies.

Was the woman lying to him? What was her mother doing?

Worse yet, Jessica knew Simon wasn’t one to be bribed. From his own state, the sudden offer was equally perplexing for him, and it made the gears inside his own head turn,

“Why would I want to return you when I’m the one who wanted you brought here?”

Jessica’s eyes widened at the bluntness of Simon’s question. She watched as her mother now locked eyes onto the awkward teenager’s face again. The disbelief and horror once again mixed as the color of her eyes,

“You? You…you did…then you wished for….”

The urgency and energy returned to the genie’s voice as she struggled to stay composed, her mother’s trembling and tremoring hands clenching into tightly bound fists, the seething tone and gaze growing more forceful,

“Listen to me. You must send me back! I do not know what you have done to have bring me here without the ability to sense my daughter’s magic, but you are dealing with something you cannot possibly understand. When I’m discovered missing then you and Jessica will be found by my Master! In order to protect my daughter, I cannot allow that to happen! If you value your life and everything you love, then you will send me back before you’re world is turned to ashes. They will notice that I’ve disappeared from my Master’s realm!”

“I know.”

The blonde genie on the floor looked up in disbelief once more, scoffing at the response,

“Do you? Are you saying you’ve plotted to keep me hidden? Did you have a way to keep my Master, a being of power that you cannot comprehend as a mortal, from noticing my absence?”

Simon innocently nodded and pointed to the once glowing object that was used to summon the genie. The glowing metal halo that had appeared over her mother’s head now back on its base as it sent feint purple glow to the slow turning center,

“That’s why we waited for you to be returned to your lamp. It’s keeping a check on it like a tether. When you’re summoned from your lamp again or are supposed to return, you’ll go back into it and then out again.”

Jessica watched as her mother stared at the object on the floor with surprise and shock. The stubborn and determined effort to suddenly return to her Master’s realm faded and caused the elder genie to become confused, breaking her anger, “I don’t…I do not understand…you wished for me to return to this realm…and…schemed knowing my Master will…if…that is not….”

If it hadn’t been clear to the cheerleader before, it was now. Her mother was terrified of being caught by her Master, by Jessica being found. That there was another expectation of what would happen if a genie from another realm was simply wished into another. It would’ve been more of a shock to the teenage genie if not for what she and Simon discussed in the Italian café. The need for ingenuity. Jessica moved and then knelt next to her mother. The young genie reached her hand to hold it as the elder one snapped her head in confused panic,

“Mom, it’s okay. Master and I discussed what we would do in order to bring you back.”

Her mother snapped her head and shocked gazed to Jessica once more as she nodded and spoke softly in order not to upset her further,

“We figured out if you we brought you back without thinking, that we would bring your Master here putting us all at risk. Then we knew if you were gone too long, you would be discovered missing, so we planned on you having to go back…at least for now….”

“B-B-But…how? How is that possible?”

Jessica grabbed her mother’s hands and slowly stood her fellow jinn onto her feet as the both looked up at Simon who smiled to both blondes reassuringly,

“We used a magical item instead of using direct magic….”

He pointed to the metal object that remained glowing and twitching on the floor which caused her mother to stare at it childishly. The blonde genie walked over to metal plate and then knelt to touch it again, but quickly pulled her finger away,

“Iron…of Metal?”

“Mostly steel to be precise….”

Jessica paid no attention to Simon’s explanation as she watched her mother continue to stare at the object as she walked back over to her mother as the statuesque blonde stood, mumbling to herself,

“A mortal made this…with magic…but not of magic…how….”

Jessica walked over to her mother and rubbed the silk fabric and golden jewelry on her back to reassure the statuesque blonde,

“Master’s really smart, Mom. We talked this over before going through with it. It’s okay…really….”

The cheerleader watched as her mother’s familiar features and face finally scrunch up. The genie covered herself in her golden and silk finery as she curled over. Simon looked on while Jessica held her mother as finally broke down and covered her face. Her body shaking while she sobbed quietly,

“You’re safe here, Mom….”

Jessica rubbed the skin and fabric on the elder genie’s shoulders gently and sniffled as she tried to hold back her own tears. Her mother’s pain finally becoming too much to bare as she wrapped her own arm around her,

“I missed you….”

The elder genie stared at her daughter as she finally admitted what she wanted to say,

“I missed you a whole lot, Mom…I’m happy you’re here….”

The blonde goddess’ face trembled and she quickly embraced her daughter and held her so tightly that Jessica wondered if she would break her in half,

“You…you-you….”

Finally her mother’s broken voice changed slightly, “You’ve grown so big, Jessica….”

Jessica let out a pained laugh as she smiled and let her mother embrace her closer and hold her tightly. She smelled her, touched her clothes, her skin, her hair, inspected her face and her eyes all while fighting through her own tears and laughing in disbelief. Her mother felt every part of her, almost obsessively trying to remember the feeling of her own skin and face. They were so alike, and yet it was only now that the elder djinn could experience it. Yet, the internal battle continued as her mother’s face drew so close to her own, but stopped at the last moment and pulled away, confused and worried,

“Jessica, I don’t understand. Why would you go through with this? You told me how much you wanted to be normal. A normal girl. You only needed to hide your ring to be that. What happened? How do you have a Master so quickly after what I told you?”

The blonde cheerleader felt the tug on her heart as she remember those first words she uttered in disbelief of her true heritage. Her voice broke as she looked at her mother shamefully and rubbed her face. The confusion as to why her daughter began to break down further made the goddess wipe her daughter’s tears and become worried,

“Jessica?”

“Mom, I…I fucked up….”

The Queen of Eastlake rubbed her nose with her arm and smiled sadly as she finally told her mother the words that were on her mind since that first night,

“I fucked up, Mom. So much…you told me to keep it safe a-and I…I…fucked it all up.”

“Oh, Jessica….”

The young genie felt a pair of large arms wrap around her from behind as she felt Simon holding her tightly and her mother in front of her. Finally able to let out the emotion that she had kept locked up.

“It’s okay, Jess. It’s okay….”

The young genie let herself relax as she remained sandwiched between her mother’s and boyfriend’s bodies. The feeling of warmth, safety, and comfort unlike anything she had experienced in her life. The feeling of being loved flooded through her and soothed the cheerleader as she composed herself and nodded.

A few moments later her mother released her, and both blondes smiled to one another as Jessica felt the woman’s forehead press gently against her own. Simon pulled himself away before her mother let out a moan in pleasure. Jessica watched the genie’s eyes flutter before they rolled back and she stumbled over onto the floor. At first it seemed confusing why such a moment would bring so much enjoyment, but that changed as the genie fell to the floor. Jessica watched her mother pulled and tugged at the gold of her outfit until she gasped out and rolled onto her back. As the moans and gasps intensified, the cheerleader realized that this was not her mother’s doing,

“Mom!”

At first her Master held her back out of concern that they had been discovered, that it was the wish being granted,

“Do you think he’s found us?”

Both teenagers watched the blonde genie on the ground before Jessica couldn’t stand the sight of her mother’s pained sounds of pleasure.

“I’m not sure….”

Simon quickly followed and both teenagers watched as the blonde genie moaned in pain and pleasure as she began to struggle. Her hands stroked over herself revealing the reason as Jessica’s emerald eyes widened as she looked at her mother’s body more closely.

The small sheer silk veil remained locked over the lower part of her mother’s face, while the genie’s breasts and shoulders remained draped and locked to the fabric and golden bands wrapped down her arms, wrists, waist, and ankles. The blonde goddess had breasts that were noticeably larger, swollen compared to her daughter’s with golden trinkets that covered her areola and nipples. Beneath the sheer fabric and other jewelry on her head, neck, wrists, ankles, and toes, was a large golden object covered her pussy that appeared locked underneath it and planted in the woman’s asshole from behind. Almost like an ornate, but horrendous chastity belt.

The elder blonde gasped and panted while Jessica desperately searched for a way to pull off her mother’s **** attire from her body. Weakly, her mother grabbed the cheerleader’s wrist to stop her,

“N-No…y-you can’t…Master forbids…Master…Master…a-ah! Ah!”

“Mom!”

The woman gasped and moaned in pleasure as she struggled and fought to tell her daughter, “M-My…Our Master…no genie…can remove my attire…a genie cannot…cannot…AH! Haaaa….”

Jessica didn’t know what to do. Her face scrunched as she clenched her fingers into fists and slammed the floor as she realized what her mother tried to warn her. The owner of her mother made it impossible to remove whatever tortures that now pleasured her.

Before she could say anything, the blonde bombshell watched her own Master knell opposite of her and begin to pull the golden trinkets and sheer silk fabrics from her mother’s body. The cheerleader and mother shared a look of panic as they stared at the young man,

“M-Master, what are you….”

“I’m not a genie, Jess.”

Of course, a loophole.

Simon heard the words ‘no genie’ and quickly proved able to rip the strange **** attire off of her mother’s body. Jessica watched her Master earnest as she clung to her mother’s hand with her own. The genie on the floor writhed as she looked to her daughter, observed her and the awkward young man with confused awe.

The bejeweled stars atop her nipples were the second-to-last to go, as the cheerleader watched her dork twist and pull the items off her mother’s breasts as she cried out in pain when they came off with a pop. Jessica’s emerald eyes locked onto her mother’s swollen nipples, something inside of her drawn to the abused pieces of skin. Knowing what would await her if she were to simply touch them.

Her mother noticed,

“Jessica….”

The blonde’s back arched as she gasped loudly and moaned out in ecstasy and pain. The teenager watched her mother’s eyes widen as she breathed through her wide open mouth. Simon frowned as he examined the object that was plugged into her ass and pussy,

“I’m going to need to unlock it with you bent over the other way.”

Jessica helped her mother as she nodded and whimpered, the woman’s swollen breasts pressed on the floor, the sensitivity of her nipples caused her to gasp and moan again. The cheerleader watched her Master as he tinkered with the strange bar that wrapped under her mother and wedged into both sides of her. The golden object then released as her mother squeezed onto her hand tightly. Simon pulled it out as gingerly as he could, but Jessica Edwards could not escape the ecstatic cry of her mother’s orgasm as fluid sprayed and splashed out onto her Master’s bedroom floor.

Her mother began to sweat and pant as she sighed out in relief and nodded,

“Th-Thank…Thank you…thank you….”

The genie’s boyfriend and Master managed to stumble enough out of the way to avoid being coated in her mother’s cum. He held the object up that he had pulled from the elder genie in both his hands so that Jessica could see it. The solid gold and engraved dildo with bulbs and rough script that pressed into the statuesque blonde’s pussy, and the strange object that seemed to expand out like a flower on the opposite end. Simon demonstrated a locking mechanism inside the connecting support bar that ran underneath that caused the bulb to expand and stretch her mother’s asshole when inserted.

Jessica looked to the woman that gave her life, as she lay naked and sat up from the floor with an ashamed look that caused her to avoid eye contact with her daughter. Her emerald eyes widened as she realized her mother had been wearing those items the entire time they had spoke on that fateful night. Had she been **** to wear such a thing the whole time?

“Mom, how long have you been….”

The genie watched as her mother looked at Simon with some apprehension as the boy seemed to read the script and symbols that had been on her golden bar,

“M-Mom?”

The mother genie turned her head toward her daughter and frowned, “Unfortunately, it will be difficult for me to explain why I am no longer clothed to my Master. My relief is of small comfort knowing it will be evidence of my travels. You should have left my ornaments dressed…it was only a momentary lapse….”

A momentary lapse? She called that a momentary lapse?

Jessica felt her face flushed as even in her mother’s naked state, her pussy still freshly soaked, she showed no signs of embarrassment as the elder djinn glared toward her daughter’s childhood companion without a second thought. Quickly, the younger genie moved in front of her mother as Simon’s hand quickly dismissed and waved as he remained focused, albeit blushing at the object in his hand,

“Oh um…it shouldn’t be problem. You’ll leave with what you came in with-I mean, in you! You…You should be back the way you came in your lamp….”

Jessica found herself joined by her mother as she sat up on her knees in confusion and held her arms up to her bare, swollen chest. She looked between her daughter and her Master as the cheerleader smiled in encouragement as she offered her hand,

“Mom, it’s okay. Master’s kind of a dork, but he’s nice…see?”

Simon helped his blonde girlfriend up as she aided her mother into standing on her own slightly wobbled legs. Jessica watched as the genie’s face gave a similar blank stare as she often saw on her dork’s boyish one. Then, she motioned her head back and forth between both teenagers again.

“I do not understand…what is a dork? Why do you say such things?”

Jessica found herself sighing at the reaction and guarded demeanor. This was going to take a while,

“It’s okay, Mom. We’ll explain everything.”

“Assuming your Master doesn’t summon you frequently,” Simon responded with an unfiltered mumbling.

Jessica glared and took offense to the comment. After all, they had just summoned her and pulled those horrible things from her body. Bringing up her mother in danger wasn’t the best comment in her opinion. However, as the teenage genie learned, her mother took no offense to the comment. In fact, she seemed to be of like mind,

“Master does not summon me for his personal use often. However, when I am sent to my lamp it is for a sustained period of recovery each cycle.”

The daughter looked at her mother worriedly, “H-How long does that give us?”

The blonde goddess turned to her daughter with the same unsure gaze,

“We do not worry about or process the concept of time as mortals do, Jessica. However, at best, I know I am sent to my lamp on a routine. I am not sure how long that would be in this realm….”

Jessica frowned. It was almost at random. It could be days, hours, maybe even minutes, but there was no way of knowing. At least, until Simon caught her attention again when he walked over to the summoning item and motioned Jessica to come over.

The blonde watched as the awkward teen smiled as he pointed to the flat surface. The cheerleader held her mother’s hand as she walked over and saw the faint purple residue of her mother’s smoke moving slowly from one symbol to the next.

“Uh, what is that? Some kind of timer?”

Her Master nodded with another cheesy grin, holding the timer up on his phone that he had begun running,

“Spacetime felt like a detail I should’ve considered since I didn’t know the answer to that either. I mean, I wondered what would happen or how time passes and so I thought we should find out! Pretty cool, right?”

The Queen of Eastlake gazed at the dial as she found it still somewhat difficult to decipher, but at least they would have a better idea. She snorted and rolled her eyes and Simon’s pride for attention to detail,

“God, you’re a Dork.”

“Jessica?”

The genie proudly smiled to her mother again, “Well, in any case. It sounds like you’ll get a lot more time with me than you did before, Mom! It should give you enough time for us to at least talk more. How about that?”

The naked blonde looked at her daughter and scanned her face before she sighed and smiled, Jessica felt the grip tighten over her hand, refusing to let go as the genie accepted her daughter’s statement as fact,

“Very well, Jessica.”

Jessica smiled to her mother and held the naked genie’s hand close, “Well, in that case! Let me be the first to welcome back to Earth, Laura Edwards!”

“Allura…”

Simon tilted his head immediately as the younger blonde turned her head in equal confusion toward the elder. Her mother smiled and managed to softly laugh as she corrected her daughter’s energetic demeanor again,

“Maridallura. That’s my name, Jessica.”

Maridallura. The blonde bombshell’s heart fluttered as she replayed it again in her head. That was her mother’s name. Her mother was the genie, Maridallura.

“Maridallura….”

“Mmhmm. Yes,” the elder genie smiled brightly at the sound of her daughter’s voice saying her true name for the first time,

“I can understand your confusion. Your father used to call me Allura, but advised me that I should call myself Laura with other mortals to ‘blend in’ with their kind. He believed…that it would help me keep me hidden in plain sight.”

Maridallura looked worriedly again between Jessica and her Master again. Her smile faded and the serious demeanor returned, “I still I do not understand the purpose in bringing me here, Jessica. What was the purpose behind bring me back? While it has been some time since I heard the phrase, what exactly did you mean by ‘fucked up’? How is it that you have become the genie to this…boy…you call Master?”

Unable to answer the question right away, Jessica turned to face her boyfriend who faced her. Both teenagers going to their go-to mannerisms, with the blonde nervously biting down on her lip, and Simon scratching the back of his head with a nervous laugh,

“I-It’s complicated….”

________________________________________

Her mother was as beautiful as she was. There was no questioning it. If she was a preview of Jessica in her thirties, the genie was going to age slowly and become ever more attractive.

Of course, Simon tried to be modest as the mother of the girl he loved stood in front of them naked in his bedroom. At first realization, the cheerleader quickly grabbed her boyfriend’s bathrobe to cover herself with.

Maridallura seemed childlike in her innocence and questioned the need to cover herself. Jessica’s embarrassment heightened as her mother seemed perfectly fine strutting around free of the torturous clothing of her Master. The elder genie and teenage genie went back and forth over the issue. Eventually, she succumbed if only for the reason to please her own daughter’s wishes.

Then came the inevitable.

Simon watched his girlfriend carefully as she bowed her head and nervously rubbed her elbow. Her emerald eyes unable to face her mother’s eyes as they widened in horror once more. Both golden haired bombshell genies now knowing that they were not alone when Jessica learned the truth of her heritage.

“A mortal saw me with you? How is that possible? We were alone were we not?”

Maridallura looked as frantic as she had when first realizing her daughter had hugged her. She gripped her hair again and shook it. As his hazel eyes watched, Simon felt his heart twist as if he was reliving the same panic that Jessica had went through. Then as her mother processed the information, the blonde matriarch looked at Master and daughter again, as Jessica sighed,

“Well, um, no. Turns out he snuck into my room and was hiding in my closet when you summoned yourself from the box. He saw all of it Mom…he heard everything you told me…the whole thing.”

The elder genie grew concerned as she scrunched her face,

“A-And you, you both know this mortal, he is a….”

“Mutual acquaintance,” was the best either of them could come up with as not to further upset or shake the already anxiety ridden genie as she paced herself in front of them,

“You were probably in such a hurry to tell Jess, that you failed to sense him.”

Jessica looked away in shame again as she recounted the tale again, “The moment you left, Mom, I opened the door and he jumped me and we fought over the ring. Then it fell out my window…my birthday was going on downstairs, I almost had the whole school over…Kevin wasn’t supposed to be there, but he went anyway to try and ruin it…..”

Simon gripped onto his girlfriend’s hand tightly as she could barely control the tears in her eyes and rubbed with her other hand,

“I’m s-so sorry, Mom. I really messed up, this wasn’t supposed to happen this way. I was still processing it all. Really, I just opened the door and….”

Almost immediately, the genie’s mother had her slender and delicate finger pointed in his face. Her eyes locked onto him with curiosity as she closed in,

“So…that was the moment you became her Master when you found her ring.”

The awkward teen nodded and smiled nervously, “Yeah, landed right on me. S-Second best thing that ever happened to me…heh…”

Second best. To meeting her, telling her he loved her, first time they had sex, becoming friends, all the moments that Jessica knew she could run through to know that becoming her Master would only count as second best. To anyone else, that would’ve come across as insulting, but she wasn’t anyone else,

“You big dork….”

Jessica’s sudden giggle made her mother’s confusion increase as the cheerleader’s smile grew. Simon adjusted himself as his childhood friend bumped her hip into him playfully. Maridallura, however, continued to shift her eyes between her daughter and her Master as she tried to recall her information and experience with human behavior. Their hands detached as Jessica went to her mother and both blondes faced the taller teenager in front of them,

“Mom, the fact is Master’s known me since I could remember. I’m even best friends with his sister….”

Simon saw Maridallura’s face gaze up at him strangely again as he squirmed from the attention of the attractive mother and his beloved blonde’s praise,

“He’s always been there for me. More than anyone. The first thing he did when he found out I was a genie was help me figure out why and help me through it…I couldn’t have done any of this without him.”

Both the mother genie and young man stared at each other after the teenage genie finished her explanation. The bubbly giggle of the cheerleader as she smiled at the sight of both of them together. The sound of her daughter’s laugh made the genie staring at him smile.

As if almost a mirror of Jessica, Maridallura smiled and closed her eyes,

“So you believe your Master is a good boy, then.”

Fuck, that sounded hotter than it needed to, he gulped down nervously.

“Master is the best, Mom.”

His shoulders went rigid and Simon felt his face squirm as a smile managed to break through from the obvious attention of the most attractive person he had ever known and her equally dazzling mother. The awkward teen managed to suppress the groan as the bulge grew out of his pants again.

“N-Not to um…heh, uh…change the subject from Kevin, but…that wasn’t the reason we brought you here….”

Jessica sighed and shook her head as both teenager’s failed to notice that Maridallura’s curious gaze had shifted to the bulge in Simon’s pants,

“He’s right…Mom?”

The mother spun her head toward her daughter and smiled at the sight of her in front of her eyes again. It was understandable. The realization that she was with her only child again started to sink in, and they hadn’t even heard a word of her story yet. Simon could tell just from the way Maridallura focused on her how much she longed to see Jessica again,

“My apologies, I just…I did not have a moment to see you like this. You’ve grown so much since you were my precious infant, Jessica!”

“Mommmm….”

Jessica’s first embarrassed reaction at her mother. This was adorable, Simon couldn’t deny it. His face flushed as he saw his girlfriend shoot her protesting pout right at him for his reaction. Her flustered demeanor and thoughts pushed him to get back on track. Her hands tugged at the bottom of her green skirt as she grew anxious.

Just because they had more time, didn’t mean they had all the time.

Simon cleared his throat and directed his attention to the maternal genie again,

“Um, Mari?”

The woman’s amethyst and emerald eyes looked up at him with the same curious and attentive gaze that he received from her daughter each day. He had to gulp down the saliva in his throat as the older woman locked onto him. She still hadn’t fully made up her mind about him yet, or worse…

…she already had, but was biting her tongue.

However, Simon knew if there was one thing both of them could agree on, it was that Jessica was most important, and they needed to keep her safe.

“She goes by Allura,” Jessica mentally reminded to her Master.

Simon shook it off as he composed himself again,

“When you left Jessica with her ring, she just knew that she was a genie, and then I became her Master. We had a basic idea but, we don’t exactly know what that means?”

Maridallura turned to Jessica as her daughter nodded and frowned before turning her attention back upward toward him,

“And I promised Jessica that we would get answers, so…how…where do genies even come from? What about the Masters makes them so scary? Why exactly did you go to such lengths to hide Jess?”

The genie’s eyes widened and she once again looked between both teenagers, and then saw as Simon had his hand reached out and grabbed onto by her daughter. Then she sighed and her face changed to a more serious tone,

“You did not wish to know this knowledge for yourself with my daughter’s magic? Why?”

Maridallura’s gaze turned suspicious as her demeanor became guarded. She eyed her daughter’s Master again, but carried herself as a way to show him the utmost respect possible.

It was a test, but his answer remained honest,

“There were too many unknown variables.”

“Unknown variables?”

The awkward boy nodded to the genie again, “You were the one that warned Jessica to stay away from the Masters. By binding her, you kept her safe, and even with a Master, I’m guessing she’d be protected inside her own reality or theirs. It’s asking for information that would be outside of that reality that comes with problems. Also, there could be so much knowledge, that if I did want to know it all, my mind might not be capable of processing it, or lead to irrevocable changes. Worse, I could bring a Master here that would take Jess without knowing what to do because magic is chaotic. Unless I knew what I intended to have happen, then there’s no way of knowing what danger I would’ve put her in. I could endanger everyone I cared about without thinking it through, especially Jess.”

The blonde genie froze in silence, and turned toward her daughter. Simon expected her to immediately point out any errors or flaws in his logic. He could have been wrong, she could simply come out and state the answer was obvious. Instead she looked at her daughter and her jaw fell agape,

“Did you teach him this, Jessica?”

The cheerleader smiled to her mother and shook her head,

“Nope. Why? Is he wrong?”

Her mother shook her head and gasped again, “No! That’s…I just never expected to hear a mortal to answer that way! Their kind never seem to grasp such things!”

Immediately Simon found himself falling back into old habits when another person reacted the way Maridallura was, “Sorry. I’m um…just…wired differently….”

“Hm. I’m unfamiliar with that statement or its meaning, but I believe I know the intent of it….”

The elder genie waved her arms and bowed her head as she became relieved once more and noticed the discomfort in his body language. She squirmed and then took a deep breath as the genie rubbed her hands against the fabric of his bathrobe,

“It’s been so long since I felt this type of fabric…I think it’s amazing what you mortals, humans, can accomplish. I’ve become so accustomed to my Master’s nature that after I returned from seeing Jessica that I believed that this would not be possible. Perhaps if I waited long enough, the sands of time would reunite us or I would be able to find her again….”

“…Mom….”

Maridallura’s face turned to a serious but equally determined demeanor as she looked to her daughter and Simon again,

“Very well, Jessica. If you wish to know the story of your heritage, then I shall tell you.”
