Hopefully nothing worse... but work waits for no one

Finally you were alone in your car, driving as quickly as you could, knowing which stretches of road you could get away with thirty or more over the speed limit, and which to stick to the road laws with, but no matter what you were nearing a hour late to work thanks to Ashley and Juliette. (That Girl has got to be fucking with us. The Ashley-Girl claims her mother will be returning soon, we should just make that woman submit like we have with the Ashley and set up a trap for the Becky!) But of course you weren't alone, instead you had a parasite in your head that wouldn't shut the fuck up and let you process!

(She... I'm part of your brain now idiot, James-Host we're supposed to be a team!) You growl and roll your eyes, as if you'd believe some alien in your head. (This isn't how it was supposed to happen, please everything She...I was preparing for you, I was going to show you once it was all done and we were going to be closer than ever, I was going to make your every fantasy come true!) You snort dismissively, as if you were going to trust that.

(I even had a name for the two of us when we completed all figured out, one for you and me.) Ah yes probably glorgax the enslaver/enslaved.

(No, we were going to be Queen Jamie. And we were going to have a harem and all the dicks and pussy we could ever want.) Dicks? You almost gag... Although that doesn't sound too bad, after all what would it feel ... Fuck no you weren't letting this thing control your thoughts. (That wasn't me!)

"Shut up Jamie! Your a mind controlling parasite trying to take over my body!" You yell glaring at your reflection in the rearview mirror.

(No! I'm trying to help! We need to solve the Becky problem before she endangers our family! I'm fulfilling my instincts but I just want to make you happy too, as Jamie.)

Your hands grip the steering wheel tighter as you have to slow down while entering town. Bitterly you think, 'So you want to take me over and pretend you are me and delude yourself into thinking you are me?'

(No I want to be a true part of you, to share in the future, I don't know about these other Sluts and Bitches, or Girls, or anyone else, but I want you to be you... But better. You're already so smart, but with me we can be true genius! I get smarter all the time and it's all because you, anyone else and I'd probably still be dumb, like one of the Bimbos in that one...)

"Enough... So your like a creepy wannabe girlfriend whose over obsessive." You state aloud stopping at a red light, frustrated as you're the only cat waiting at the light and you weren't certain the cars further down the road would even arrive in time for the green light they currently had.

(If your trying to imply I'm a Yandere I am not.) A Yand-whatsitnow? You think only for Jamie's mental voice to snap back with more ****. (Yandere, the Juliette-**** was talking about them several nights ago. But see you experienced that and know it, but with me we have much better recall, we can use all the knowledge you have stored away up here, years of first hand experience and scholarly knowledge locked away that we can put into perfect practice, a true gift maybe to all of humanity.)

You roll your eyes at the manipulation attempt and think back harshly while frowning as the light finally switched. 'Riiight, I should have gone to Chad, have Scomp, god I hate that he got that name stuck in my head, tell me how to get rid of you.'

(No!)

'See now I have leverage over you! To bad we're going to preserve Scomp and use his knowledge to save the world!'

(No, please, Scomp has the answers, the answers we both want! Why was I sent here? How am I able to reshape you the way I can? How am I able to rewrite your DNA?...)

'You're what!?' you almost hit the brake in the middle of the intersection.

(You totally must have noticed, I mean whose pants are you wearing right now? You raided Mom's dresser for fitting work pants all because I reshaped you.)

'What are you reshaping me into?' You somewhat fear that you may know the answer.

(Well Becky can't hate us for being a man if we aren't either man or woman at least... hahaha... right? Ummm, surprise... This isn't anything like how I thought it would go, I wanted you to love me like I love you.)

You're now on the road pulling closer to the firm, a open parking spot visible from here. 'Well you never asked before you did any of this to me, you're wanting me to infect other people and end humanity, of course I don't love that!'

(Why would I want to end humanity? She would never end humanity She loves Humanity the cock sucking and pussy fucks and tits are all amazing!)

You start pulling into the parking lot and aiming for the parking spot. 'You're a alien parasite that's what you do, you're even reshaping me to make more of you.'

(What? No, I'm making a womb in you to make more humans, without humans my side would die out as well! She doesn't need you to make more of these egg...spore things She grows.)

You step out of your car. 'Egg-spore things? How do you not know what those even are?'

(Because you don't!)

'Enough! Work now, deciding the future later.' And with that you put on a apologetic smile and step into work... And straight into Janice's disapproving glare.

"We need all hands on Deck with your mom on vacation and this crisis, we can't afford you being constantly late James!" She immediately barked at you.

"I know, we had a crisis on the farm and I couldn't trust Juliette with it. I'll do whatever I can to make it up." You apologized, your family's ingrained farmer work ethic kicking in 'From sun up to sun down and everything in-between' your dad always told you. (That's stupid.) 'Shut it!'

"Well thanks to that I have had to deal with a workload and life in business doesn't work that way. Just don't be late again this week." Janice then smiles. "Also Since you're owed a date, but you now owe me, I'm picking the venue, there's a small convention in the next town over, I've been going over the last few days, besides a good restaurant outside the convention, we can join for a couples' cosplay, you're eye candy enough that even with some low quality plenty of girls would vote for you."

"I'm sorry what?" (The hell?) You ask somewhat confused.

"Oh don't worry, what I'm talking about won't be until Thursday. We have all week to get ready. Now, get to fucking work." And with that Janice drops a stack of papers into your arms before her phone buzzes and she pulls it out grinning as a picture of some sort of weird costume covered in a short fur or carpeting of some kind though some sections looked like human skin. This was placed next to a anime like picture of the same wolf girl. Both the costume and wolf girl were very detailed and essentially naked besides a bikini thing, both the drawing and the costume were holding some sort of Lazer sword and had what looked like bat wings but in the color of the wolf's fur on the back. The whole thing struck a rather strange middle ground between looking like an animal and looking mostly human and was overall kinda uncanny and provocative.

Janice then cheered excitedly and began texting someone on her phone while rushing back to her desk. And as you sat at your desk you could hear her ring tone, some sort of Japanese pop song, before she excitedly answered. "Yes I've got someone for the couples, we totally have to do a rush order for Nekorama-Sama. Yes he'll fill it out, he's plenty big enough... No not that big, why would I know what he's packing, yeah only thing I'd say is that he's got some wider hips, but I'm willing to guess he's got the aaaaa ... No I'm at work I shouldn't talk, Oh yea if we go as a trio that would be amazing. I've got work see you later."

(...She is confused... This human woman confuses me. What the hell was that creature, that wasn't real right that's just fiction but then... What the hell?) 'I don't want to know the rabbit hole were getting dragged into.' And with that pushed out of your mental space you focused on work, trying to figure out what to do with Ashley and her returning mother, and fitting Janice's event-date thing into that plan would have to come later.

For the rest of the day instead you focused on getting work done and almost missed when Eli and Jeffrey returned both looking exhausted but also triumphant. Jeffrey walked up to you and Janice with a tired smile. "I think we got everything settled. Believe it or not, the Feds are taking over for the meteorite that caused the whole thing, that then freed up a whole ton of funds and while some people are paranoid, it's reassured enough people that thanks to some clever work by our new boy Eli just might be able to salvage everything. I don't know what's changed but he's gotten a bit better at listening these last few days, really mellowed out the balance between his insane talent and customer relations. Just too bad we missed out on the weekend, there was a tradition my wife and I had always enjoyed that I had to miss out on this year."

Janice smiled. "Well I guess that's good, if anyone can turns a sleazebag into a half decent human it's you Jeffrey, you always knew how to treat a woman properly." With that Janice smiled and blew a teasing kiss at the elderly Jeffrey.

"Anyway, I promised Eli that he and I could take the rest of day off, but if you can shift some of the accounts to my inbox I'll take some extra load tomorrow to make up for it." The old man smiled apologetically prompting Janice to smile back.

"Nah you earned it old man. Have a good night." Janice smiled before getting back to work allowing Jeffrey to turn and leave.

Soon you and your coworker were the only two left in the firm both silently working and going over various accounts making small adjustments or correcting errors while ensuring every investment in the region was secure, protecting the financial lifeblood of many of the farmers and woodsmen whose companies and farms of course wouldn't be seeing income until after their products were harvested and shipped which due to the incident was almost certainly delayed.

"So James, what kind of women turn you on?" You freeze while typing and then to stare at Janice who was putting her chin on her palm looking at you with an amused expression. (Just what is with this human woman?)

"Oh come on, Jeffrey is well dull entirely devoted to his dead wife, and Eli is almost certainly one of those guys who wants a stepford wife, but you're a little different. I can't pin you down and I'm usually a good judge of character and tropes." Janice claims grinning before pressing on. "I even know your Mom's fetishes."

"No, just no." You sigh back in defeat.

"What no? No to telling me? No you don't believe me? You know she used her work PC to check out some leath..." Janice continued pretending to be oblivious.

"No I'll tell, I'll tell just stop. But why? What's this about?"

"Oh Mr Pump and Dump is now interested? Hmmm? Maybe it's my fetish to know, or maybe I'm interested in you, orrr maybe there's something else I'm fishing for. But which is it? After all you still owe me until we go to Con." Janice answered doggedly.

"That's avoiding the subject. You're looking at weird costumes, and who the hell was on the phone with you? I'm feeling used and not having a good day." You press back and Janice winces.

With a sigh Janice sits back and looks back at you. "Fine if you want to know I'll tell you. Just don't say anything until I go over it all alright?"

(Well I refuse, I'm going to make all the comments at your expense for this waste of your future Queen's time.) 'Jamie, shut it.'

You close your eyes slowly then open them locking your gaze on Janice's own bespectacled eyes. "Ok go ahead."
