Giantess Stories - The Perfect Roommate

Chapter 5

During the next few days, Julie waited on her little roommate hand and foot. Whenever he asked for something, she got it for him.  She served him meals and carried him in her shoe wherever he needed to go.  She felt sorry for him.  Mark appreciated all of the attention from Julie but couldn’t help taking her kindness a little for granted.  ‘After all’, he thought, ‘I’m the victim here and besides, she seems to be enjoying it.’  Once he even made her fill the sink four times before he liked the temperature enough to get in and take a bath.

Julie continued to put up with all of his demands because she felt sympathy, but what she didn’t realize about herself was that even though she felt sorry for him, she was getting a little tired of being his maid.  She was supposed to be taking charge of her own life, not someone else’s.  This was supposed to be wearing off by now.  Just as she was thinking about this, she heard a tiny voice, “Julie, move your foot, its blocking the TV.”  Without thinking, she snapped back, “Why don’t you move over?!?  Mark froze, looking up at her stern expression, which immediately softened. “Oh, I’m sorry, Mark, it’s just that this whole thing has been a little harder than I expected.”  Mark had never heard Julie use that tone of voice with him before and it sent a chill down his spine.  He answered nervously, “It’s OK, I understand.”  He noticed that she still hadn’t moved her foot so he got up and moved over.  She continued, ”Maybe it would be better if you were under professional care until this thing wears off.  I mean, I worry about you all day.  I’m afraid to move because I might step on you.  And I have to go back to work soon.”  “No, please Julie, don’t do that to me.” he shouted, “Like you said, it’s sure to wear off soon, I’ll be alright here while you’re at work, don’t worry...” Just then, the phone rang, interrupting them.  Julie answered the phone looking down at him the whole time. “Hello?”, she asked. Feeling uncomfortable, Mark climbed down the sofa to the floor.  Normally, he would ask Julie to help him but he was getting a little scared now. “Oh hi Kelly.”  “Yeah, I still have it.”  “Why do you want me to throw it away, I thought it was some kind of ‘miracle’.”  Her face went pale as she moved the receiver away from her mouth. Mark could hear Kelly yelling “Julie?” through the receiver.  He didn’t know what he disliked more, Kelly’s loud mouth or forceful personality.  Finally Julie answered Kelly, “Yeah, I’m still here.”  “Get over here! Right now!” Julie demanded as she hung up the phone.  “Why did you tell her to come over here!?” he demanded,  “ I don’t want....”  “Mark!” She interrupted, “she may be the only person that can help you.”  “What do you mean? She doesn’t even like me.”  He was confused.  Kelly only lived a few blocks away, and before Julie got a chance to answer him, Kelly was knocking at the door.  Her Feet hit the floor in front of him as he ran to hide behind a chair.  “Julie, what’s the deal? Are you alright?”, Kelly asked.  “Just look!”, she replied.  “At what?  Are you sure you’re OK?”  Julie turned around and saw that Mark had hidden.  “Mark, come out from behind the chair.  She’s not going to hurt you.”, Julie reassured him.  Kelly’s eyes lit up as she watched Mark come into view wearing his handkerchief toga.  There he was, standing in front of two giant women, one of whom who would just as soon squash him where he stands.  But if she could help him, he had to take the chance.  “Holy shit! Julie”, Kelly said as she raised her hand to her mouth, “You must have drank the whole carton.”  Mark snapped back, “Well at least I wasn’t stupid enough to put it in a milk carton in the first place!”  Kelly put her hands on her hips and raised an eyebrow looking down at him, “Well at least I’m not the one who’s small enough to fit inside a milk carton.”  Embarrassed, Mark looked down from her Face.  In front of him were two sets of Feet, each as large as himself.  This only reinforced her words.  He never felt so humiliated in his life than at that moment.  His anger was growing toward Kelly, as well.  “Alright, stop it you two.  Kelly, you said this has happened before to lab animal.  How did you make them normal again?”  “Well, I was about to tell you, before you hung up on me, that the effects at this point in the product’s development, are irreversible.”  “WHAT!” he screamed and began charging Kelly’s open-toed sandal out of sheer anger,  He began pounding on her foot with all his strength yelling, “You bitch! You did this to me!  You’d better find some way to make me normal again, or else!”  Kelly shook her Foot, sending Mark sprawling across the floor yelling, “Or else, what?  You going to beat my feet to a pulp?”  “Kelly!”, Julie intervened, “Can’t you see he’s scared out of his mind?”  “I can see that”, she replied, “and he’d better stay away from my feet if he doesn’t want to end up under them.  I don’t feel sorry for him.  You know all men are the same.  You just broke up with one, remember?  Mark’s no different.”  Mark just lay on the ground face down, covering his ears.  “Go back to my bedroom, Kelly, you’re only frightening him more.” Julie told her, thinking that at least she would leave Mark alone. “Oh, alright”, Kelly agreed and walked right past Mark, pausing a few seconds as her foot came down inches from his head.  Mark could smell Kelly’s Feet when she stopped, realizing how close she had come and lay completely still. “Go on Kelly”, Julie said firmly as she got up and walked over to him.    She knelt down beside Mark and said softly, “I’m going to talk to her in my room.  Unfortunately, she’s your only hope right now, and I’m going to make sure that she doesn’t “blow” this off.”  Without lifting his head, he replied, “Thanks Julie, I’ll be alright in a minute.”  With that, she went into her room, wondering what she could possibly say to someone like Kelly to make her understand.  She had known Kelly for years and knew that she could be very stubborn at times.  She had to try at least.

Julie entered her bedroom closing the door behind her.  Kelly was sitting on the edge of the bed.  Ever since they had met, she could read Julie like a book.  It was one of the reasons she liked being friends with her.  It gave her a sense of confidence and power over Julie.  It was about time that she taught Julie something about power and control. After all, Kelly was the one who convinced Julie to break up with Don.  Now that she was out of the relationship, Kelly had to convince her to stay out by showing her how to be a strong, independent woman.  And little Mark would make an ideal teaching aid.

“You should be ashamed of yourself, Kelly, scaring him like that”, Julie said, trying to set the tone of the conversation.

“Oh, he’ll be alright”, Kelly replied, “He’s a big boy.”  She giggled a little. “Well, I guess he’s not that big right now.”

“This isn’t funny, Kelly.  How would you like to be 8” tall in a world of giants?”

“Ooo, I wouldn’t last long, dear, especially around bitches like me.”  Kelly giggled again at her own words.

“Kelly, this is serious.  Please, you have to try to get an antidote for this.  Surely, the lab must have something?”

“That’s just it, Julie.  That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you.  There is no antidote.  Dr. Slone is working on one to test on the lab animals, but face it, Mark is going to be that way for a long time.”

Both women paused for a moment.  Julie hung her head slightly, thinking that if Mark stayed with her, she could take care of him.  She’d have to find a way to accept her role as his caretaker.  After all, she felt partly to blame for his predicament.

Kelly could tell exactly what Julie was thinking.  She had a similar conversation about Don not long ago.  Obviously, Don was not 8” tall, but the end result was the same.  This time Kelly wasn’t going to let her fall back into her pattern.

“Can I ask you something, Julie?”

“Sure, Kelly”, Julie answered knowing from the tone of the question that she was in for a lecture.

“Why do you feel like you have to be totally responsible for any man in your life?” She paused, “I’ll bet you’re blaming yourself right now for Mark.  Am I right?”

“Well, it was my lotion that he drank.”

“Listen to yourself, will you?  What happened out there was an accident.  And you want to make it your fault.  You did the same thing with Don.”

Kelly’s last words stung Julie.  She did not want to get into a situation like she was with Don.  “What can I do, though, Kelly.  He’s so helpless.”

“Well, for starter, you can stop thinking of him as a victim.  He is a little man who happens to be living in your house.”

“He is paying half the rent you know?”, Julie added.

“Umm, I don’t think he is going to be contributing financially for a while.  Which is all the more reason that you have to take charge of this situation and set up some strict rules.  He can help out around here...”

“Oh, Kelly,” Julie interrupted, “what could he do?”

“I’m serious, Julie, you’ll just have to be a little creative.  The question shouldn’t bewill he contribute, but how will he contribute.  Think about it Julie.  You’re going to be a pretty important woman in his life and you deserve some respect.  Remember, you’re the one in control here and he has to know that.”

Kelly’s words were sinking in.  “take charge”, “deserve”, “respect”, “in control”. All the things she was trying to get back into her life.  Kelly could tell she was getting through to Julie.  “You didn’t ask to be put in this situation, did you?”

“No.  But neither did he.”

 “Right!  So there’s no reason why you should feel like you have to center your lifestyle around him.  If anything, he should be catering to you!  He should be willing to do anything he can for you even though it will never equal what you will be doing for him.”

“I guess you’re right Kelly.  I need to be in control of my own life now and Mark will have to adapt to that.  But I know he’s going to resist.”

“That’s why you have to have strict rules and penalties for disobedience.  He has to know that when you say something, you mean it.  In case you didn’t notice, he wasn’t much resistance to my foot out there.”  Both women giggled.

“Thanks Kelly, what would I do without a friend like you?”

With that, both women hugged and walked back out into the den where Mark had recomposed himself and was sitting on the floor in front of the couch.  While Julie opened the front door, Kelly bent over to pick up her purse which was on the sofa above Mark, and whispered just loud enough so he could hear, “ If you ever try anything like that with me again, I’ll break you in half.”  She stood up, glanced down at Mark and winked, “Bye now.”

“Well, what did she say?” asked Mark, anxiously.

“Mark, I’m sorry, they’re working on one but there’s just nothing she can do right now.”

“Well you seem pretty calm about the whole situation!” he snapped, “I’m the one who is 8” tall, remember?”

“Mark!”, she said sternly, “I don’t want to argue about this right now.  I’m tired, and I just want to go to bed.  You should get some rest too.  We have a lot to discuss tomorrow.”
