It's a start.

Veronica's eyes widened again as the implications of what she said set in.

"My God, this is like a superpower! I can do anything I want, and as long as I use Jason people will think they did it!"

She smiled mischievously. I was curious how she planned to "make" me do something. She turned and made a beeline for a nearby bookstore. I followed, of course.

Entering the bookstore, I looked around. There were a few patrons browsing and an elderly man sat behind the counter with a gray tabby purring on his lap.

Veronica stared at him for a second and I realized she was willing me to do something. Instead, I walked over to a customer. She was a rather bookish young woman, wearing a sweater just tight enough to accentuate her generous curves. I grabbed her glasses from her face and walked back to Veronica, who was giggling madly.

"I can't believe I did that! I just took those glasses right off of her face and she barely reacted!"

The customer meanwhile, didn't react. "My God, she really thinks that she did it!" Veronica exclaimed.

Another impulse struck me. I walked over and kissed the young woman. The owner and another patron looked up in panic as I bent over her like a vampire in an old horror movie. When I finally broke the kiss, she looked flushed and startled. There was a long, awkward pause. When it was clear she wouldn't say anything, the men cautiously went back to their previous activities.

Veronica, meanwhile, was speechless. "What the hell did I just do? It hasn't been three hours and I'm already perving out! I gotta slow down with-"

She was interrupted as I introduced myself. The woman had awkwardly sidled up to us.

"Hi, I'm Jason." I said as she approached.

"I mean Chrissy," she replied, looking confused. "Where did 'Jason' come from?"

"Wait, you didn't- oh, right!" Veronica chuckled nervously and offered her hand. Chrissy meekly shook it. "I'm Veronica, and this is my friend Jason." She was apparently still aware of me on some level.

Chrissy looked me over, then looked back to Veronica. She tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and I realized she was flirting. I decided to speed things along.

"I think you're really hot! Wanna hook up?" I asked.

Predictably, they both blushed and broke eye contact. Then Veronica remembered and looked back at me, then her.

Chrissy tried to stammer out a follow-up. "I don't know what came over me! I really don't know why I would say something like that, I really hope I haven't-"

I cut in again to kiss Veronica. She was surprised at first but quickly melted into it, cooing softly. Chrissy let out a squeak of dismay. When we finally broke lips, she seemed near tears.

Veronica gently put her hands on her shoulders. "Yes," she said. "Yes to all of it." She quickly scribbled on a bookmark. "This is my number-"

I cut in again. "I'm free now."

Veronica paused again for a second, then realized what "she" had done. She composed herself and replied. "Well, that's very forward of you, but I appreciate the candor. I'll tell you what. Give me the afternoon to go home and prepare. Why don't you come by around six?" Chrissy opened her mouth to reply but let out the cutest sneeze I'd ever heard.

"I'll take that as a yes," Veronica said as she walked out.
