What next?
Visit a 'friend'
As I mindlessly flicked through the TV, I pondered what to do next. I took a look around the living room and my eyes landed on the family photo that was taken a year ago. A perfectly ordinary and happy family at a glance. If one looked closely though, they could see that three people happily huddled together smiling for the camera with me a bit off to the side with a forced smile on my face.
The picture summed up my life after my mom's death, an unwanted guest in an otherwise content family, not fitting in but unable to break off either. No longer. With my newfound power, I could easily leave and live off the the rest of my life without worry. No longer would any of us have to pretend to like each other.
I shook my head to try and groaned. After yesterday, I should be basking in the afterglow and thinking of my next move, not brood over something which I had no wish to change. I needed to clear my head and though of a way to do so.
After my father's confession, I should have felt angry, betrayed even. I was downright furious after our conversation and I would have stayed in a foul mood if not for my power. In my anticipation for prom night and the time I spent fantasizing my first time with Alicia, the negative feelings, albeit justified, took a backseat. To put it bluntly, I was thinking with my dick for three whole days. It helped me calm down. Not enough to forgive my dad, but just enough to think with a clear head.
That's what I needed right now, a distraction to calm myself down. What better way to do it than with sex? Unfortunately, both Alicia and Erica were unavailable right now. As much as I wanted to keep them with me, I didn't want to intrude on their regular life. I changed them enough to my benefit as it is.
I needed someone else and the perfect person came to mind instantly. I dressed and left the house, leisurely walking a couple blocks to where the smaller houses and apartments of the neighborhood existed.
Reaching one of the more run down apartments, I made my way to the door number which I remembered and rang the bell.
A rather pretty voice yelled "Coming!" and a minute later, a knockout beauty stood in front of me.
"Hey Cara," I greeted the black haired latina in front of me with a smile.
She stared at me for a second in confusion before her eyes flashed in recognition. "John? What are you doing here?"
"Oh you know, I was in the neighborhood and I thought I'd pay a visit to my favorite nurse."
"You live two blocks away," she replied with a raised eyebrow.
I shrugged, "It still counts," I said with a charming(at least I thought) smile. Cara shifted her feet and placed her hand on the door frame.
"Riiight... So uh did you need anything?" She was clearly uncomfortable with me paying her a sudden visit. After all, she definitely wouldn't have expected a random patient from a year ago to show up at her house unannounced.
I smirked. "Not really. Aren't you gonna invite me in like you usually do," I questioned her. Usually was a strong word. I had visited her once in the past to thank her for taking care of me when my shoulder healed. Even then, it was a courtesy visit. Not that it mattered anymore.
"Oh of course!" She opened the door fully and moved aside, waving me in. "Where are my manners."
As I stepped in, I noted the state of the apartment. It was obviously cramped but as a whole much cleaner then my room. A beat up TV and a slightly worn couch with a table in front of it pretty much made up the contents of the living room. A few posters still decorated the walls from the last time I visited. The door to her bedroom was slightly ajar which thankfully was a double bed.
Without any prompting, I plopped down on the couch and gave her an easy smile. "Nice place you got here. Hasn't changed much."
Cara shrugged, one arm nervously hugging the other. The action made her wonderfully large breasts push out further. "Can't afford much on a nurse's salary I'm afraid. So mind telling me why you're here."
I sighed. Inviting me in made me no less of a stranger in her eyes I realized. "Calm down. It's just a social visit. I thought we'd make great friends but we never stayed in touch. I'm just here to correct that."
Cara gave me a blank look. "So you just decided to show up here? To a nurse's house who took care of you a whole year ago?"
I nodded sincerely. "Of course. You know that we hit it off immediately at that time. You should be as happy as me that I came to visit."
Her arm dropped and she relaxed completely. "Well of course I am. I'm just... you know... surprised." She sat down on the other end of the couch, too far for my liking but it would do for now.
"It's unusual yeah. But I really want us to be friends. You do too... right?"
Cara nodded eagerly. "I really do. You know I don't really have any friends? I think this'll be good for me."
I tilted my head curiously. "You don't? Why?"
Her face immediately became troubled and she shrunk a bit. "Oh um... I don't really want to talk about it."
"Come on Cara," I encouraged, shaking my head. "If we're going to be friends, we need to be open with each other. That's the first step to forming a good friendship."
"I guess you're right," she said slowly after a few seconds. "My parents and I moved around a lot when I was young and I never stayed in any one place long enough to make friends. When we finally settled down, I... made some bad decisions and I had to move away from my parents. Now that I'm a full time nurse, I don't have any time to socialize."
She wasn't giving me the whole story. I could have easily commanded her to tell me everything but I had already done that with Erica. With Cara, I wanted to move things just a bit slowly.
"That must suck," I sympathized. "That means no boyfriend either then?"
She snorted and leaned back on the arm of the couch. "Obviously. I'm not keen on dating at the moment."
That was a shame. I admit I really enjoyed what I did to Brad. I would have loved to cuck another boyfriend but this also worked in my favor.
"You desperately want to be my friend. To do that, you'll eagerly agree to any suggestions I give you and think it's your own decision. You'll even do things which you don't normally do to get close to me. You don't doubt my intentions at all. You'll be extremely grateful for even the tiniest things I do for you. Forget I said this."
"So," I began without pause. "Looks like I came at the right time huh?"
"Looks like you did. Listen John," she said hesitantly. "I know we've only been talking for a few minutes but I can already tell that you're a great guy. I don't know why but I feel extremely comfortable around you."
I grinned coyishly. "I seem to have that effect on people. Say, I have a favor to ask."
"Anything," she said eagerly and I started to put my plan in motion.
"I actually got into a fight with my parents a few days ago and I don't think I can stay there any longer," I explained. "I don't want to stay with them anymore and I'm looking for a place to stay till I leave for college. Do you know if there are any vacant apartments in this building?"
"No, I'm sorry John. It's full," she said shaking her head sadly.
"That's a shame." I faked a disappointed sigh and looked up, pretending to think. "I guess I'll have to crash at Alex's place."
"Alex?"
"A friend of mine."
"You know," Cara began slowly. I turned to her and could see the gears turning in her head. "If you're thinking of staying at a friend's place... if it's okay with you... you could stay with me?"
