Chapter 8
It was
Saturday and Julie did not have to work. She left Mark alone to go take a
shower. As the water flowed
down her body, she thought about how she had all day to spend with the “little
man” who lived in her house. She
found herself more and more thinking of Mark as a little man rather than a
roommate. She couldn’t help
thinking about how Kelly was so right about the whole situation. Things were much more manageable and,
although she wouldn’t fully admit it yet, enjoyable now that some rules have
been established. Underneath
it all, she hoped that once Mark accepted the situation, their relationship
could get stronger. She
didn’t want to always scold him but realized that it was necessary, at least
for now. At the moment,
however, the taste of power was stronger than her concern for Mark and while she
knew that would probably change, it didn’t stop her from wanting to act on
it. As she was drying
herself off from her shower, she began thinking of ways that he could “help
out” around the house. Then
she remembered the “samples” that she had bought the other day and how it was
time for more risk taking.
Mark heard the
“drums” approaching again. He
turned around to find Julie entering the room wearing a bathrobe, a towel
around her head and carrying a small bag and another towel. She had no makeup on, and while she
was not ugly without it, she definitely had that “no-makeup” appearance. She walked passed him, sat down on the
couch, spread the towel out under her Feet and placed the bag next to
them. She took a deep
breath before calling Mark over. As
much as she felt in charge, this still seemed awkward for her. She wasn’t used to being in control of
a relationship of any kind and knew that her nervousness was due to her past
patterns of dealing with men in general. Looking down at Mark’s size as he
approached her foot helped relieve the tension that she felt. He posed absolutely no threat to her
physically, and the contrast in size was making it easy for her to overcome her
emotional barriers. She
could hear Kelly’s voice in her head telling her to “be creative” about the
chores she gives him. From
above, he appeared to be staring at her foot and she lifted them slightly to
get his attention. After
she did this, Mark lifted his head, their eyes met and she spoke.
Mark was
curious to see what she was going to do with the towel and other things when
she called him and he could feel Julie staring at him as he walked over to
her. It felt very
uncomfortable, so he kept his head down until he stood directly in front of her
Feet. He stood there a moment, looking at the tops of her Feet and
noticing how smooth they looked even at their immense size. His eyes followed the bone structure
of the Foot slowly down to the Toes where he noticed that the nail polish was
chipping on most of them. He
remembered that before he shrank, Julie always applied fresh toe nail polish
after taking a shower. She
was so faithful about it even though she seemed to hate doing it. As he stared at them, all five Toes
lifted off the towel in unison and returned to rest gently in front of
him. He could feel a slight
tingling in his legs as she did this. Realizing that he had been staring,
he lifted his head and looked up at her giant Face.
“Mark,
remember we talked about chores and you doing your fair share around here?”,
she asked with a little shyness in her voice.
“Yeah, but we
never decided on what they would be”, he answered as he began to understand
what was about to happen.
“Well, I’ve
found something that you can do for me that would really help me out a lot”,
she continued, pausing, “Being kind of tall for a woman, makes it hard for me
to paint my toenails the way I like them to look. So, I was thinking that you could be
in charge of keeping my feet looking pretty. You know, nail polish, lotion,
perfume, that kind of stuff. What do you say?” She tried to keep a light, positive
tone in her voice.
“You want me
to be your ‘footslave’? You
can’t be serious?”, he asked in disbelief.
Julie giggled
at his question. “Oh, I
wouldn’t think of it like that. Think
of it as…a project.” Her
voice then turned more business-like. “You
get to inspect them, schedule when things need to be done to them, and most
important, you get to see the results of your work firsthand.”
“No way
Julie”, Mark answered, stepping back holding his hands up to emphasize his
response. “I don’t mind
helping out, but this is going to far.”
Slightly
amused at Mark’s attempt to argue with her, she found that the more Mark
rebelled against doing what she said, the more she wanted him to do it. If he had acted more casually about it
instead of totally refusing, she might have thought of something else. She moved her foot so that her big toe
was directly in front of him. “Mark,
I don’t remember saying that this was open for discussion. I’ve already made the decision.”
Realizing that
she was serious, he hung his head, weighing the options of agreeing or
disobeying. He knew the
result of disobeying and shuddered at the thought of the same or even worse
punishment. He saw her Foot
move closer to him, accenting how small he was. Her Big Toe was easily as big as his
head. Feeling totally
humiliated, he reluctantly agreed, “Alright, you win.” At least they were clean, he thought.
“That’s
better”, she said smiling and as gently as possible, touched his leg with her
toe.
Mark couldn’t
move out of the way quickly enough before her Toe touched his leg. He
barely kept his balance and looked up angrily to see Julie covering a giggle
with her Hand.
“Hey! That’s
not funny”, he yelled.
“Sorry”, she
said insincerely, “I was just playing.”
“Well, not so
rough, OK?”
Realizing she
had won this battle completely, she decided to stop teasing him and placed her
foot back on the towel. Mark’s
“giving in” made her feel more in control and totally eased the nervousness
that she felt before. It
was getting easier for her to be firm on her decisions with Mark. It felt so good to her to finally be
in control of a situation involving a man, no matter what size he was.
She reached
down and opened one of the sample sizes of skin lotion and squeezed a pile next
to her foot. Mark watched
in silence as Julie squeezed a pile of what appeared to be lotion near her
Ankle. Her Fingers lightly
squeezed as the lotion oozed out. A
nervous sensation arose in his stomach as he watched her freshly manicured
fingers effortlessly squeeze the bottle, one which he could barely pick
up. She placed the plastic
bottle next to her Heel. The
bottle looked to be about as high his knees. He had never seen such a huge bottle
of lotion. But as Julie’s
Fingers released the bottle, he noticed that it was only half as big as her
index Finger and it was apparent how small the bottle really was and therefore,
how small he really was. As the Fingers let go of the bottle
and rose out of view, all that was left in front of him was a gigantic Foot on
a huge towel with a pile of thick lotion next to it. Julie lifted her Toes a bit as she
spoke, “You can start with this.” Mark
stood silent in amazement of the situation that was before him.
“Hello?”,
Julie boomed from above, “Anybody there?”
Julie’s
thunderous voice broke his trance. “Umm…sorry. What do you want me to do?”, he
replied staring up at her as if he actually didn’t know what it was that she
wanted. It was obvious that
he was trying to stall and she said with a raised eyebrow, “figure it
out.” Julie leaned back and
stared up at the ceiling awaiting the first touch of the little hands. Surprising herself, she felt a little
lightheaded from the anticipation.
Realizing that
his stall tactics were useless, Mark approached the pile of lotion
slowly. He shrugged and
stuck his hand into the pile and walked over to the instep of her right
Foot. He paused a moment
and then touched the top of her Foot with the lotion. Her Foot jumped
slightly frightening him but he continued to apply the lotion like he was
applying wax to a car. After
a few strokes, he began using both hands.
As the little
hands made contact with her foot, Julie flinched slightly. It was a release of the built up
tension. She felt him stop
for a moment and continue. She
didn’t look down because she didn’t want to interrupt him. His little hands felt so invigorating.
The sense of control, of being in control only added to that. A slight smile appeared displaying her
satisfaction.
“Mmm…that feels
good”, Julie whispered from above.
As he glanced
up at Julie’s Face, he could see that she was smiling even though she leaned
her Head back. His feelings
at the moment were confusing. One
part of him was angry that she was getting so much pleasure from his work and
another part of him was happy that she approved of his work. Anger was expected, but any kind of
happiness was totally unexpected. Could
it be that just thought of pleasing any woman this big was so
challenging? Or was it the
fact that at such a small size he could still make a difference? All he knew was that he continued to
apply the lotion with eagerness partly out of fear of punishment and partly out
of desire for approval.
Her Foot was
flat on the towel and as he applied the lotion, he worked his way up to her
Toes. Once there, he was
presented with a new situation. He
thought about it as he covered her big Toe with the lotion. The first problem was that he was
running out of lotion so he tapped on her Toe as he yelled, “Hey! I need more lotion!”
Totally
entranced by this time but feeling a slight tap on her toe, she realized what
he was saying and beamed down smiling at him, “No problem. There’s plenty more.”
The Fingers
lowered into view and picked up the lotion bottle. Mark watched as the bottle moved
overhead and a deposit, much larger than the first, was squeezed in front of
her Foot. “That should hold
you for a while.” Then the
bottle was placed behind her Foot and the Fingers rose up out of site again.
Now he had to
deal with the second problem. He
knew that she would probably want him to get between her Toes but he was afraid
because she might accidentally crush his hands. He looked up and started to ask
something but noticed her Eyes were closed and decided to just proceed
cautiously. As he brushed
the inside of her big Toe, he heard a soft moan from above. He used both hands to get the entire
area between her big Toe and second Toe. It felt incredibly soft, especially
for the size of her Foot, where he applied the lotion. He was caught off guard, noticing that
her second Toe was slightly longer than her big Toe when her Toes flinched
slightly, causing him to jump backwards by reflex and land squarely in the pile
of lotion. It instantly
covered most of his body as he slid backward through the pile. Feeling the slight bump on her toe,
Julie looked down and couldn’t help but find the situation amusing and covered
her mouth as she laughed. “Oh,
I’m so sorry, are you OK?”, she said, sounding insincere as she spoke through a
giggle.
Feeling embarrassed, he snapped, “I’m
fine but you could be a little more careful, OK?”, as he climbed out of the
pile. Feeling totally
satisfied at the moment and not wanting to argue, Julie replied, “I’ll try”, as
she leaned her head back and closed her eyes fully intent on having him
continue. It aggravated him
that she took the situation so lightly but somehow felt compelled to
continue. He had never had
such mixed emotions before. So,
still covered on lotion, he lay across her Toes and rolled off, covering her
Toes with lotion and continued rubbing the lotion until all parts of her Toes
were covered. It was hard
to get his hand between her fourth and pinky Toe. But with his hand covered in lotion,
he was able to slip in. He
continued down the other side of her Foot until the top of her Foot was
completely covered. As he
completed her Ankle, he stood back and admired his work. ‘One down’, he thought.
Julie felt him
trying to get his hand between her toes. She thought about trying to spread
them to make it a little easier but was enjoying feeling him try. Once successful he continued to her
ankle. She felt him pause
and realized that he must be finished with the top of her foot. He had done such a good job, she
wasn’t ready for him to be finished so she positioned her foot so that her heel
was on the towel and her toes were pointed upward exposing her sole. She waited
a few seconds, then wiggled her toes signaling for him to continue.
Just as he was
about to move to the other Foot, he froze as he saw the Foot move into a
position where the Toes were just about at the same level as his
head. Realizing that she meant for him to continue on her Soles, he
thought about the risk of being partially under her Soles as he applied the
lotion and the consequences of her lowering her Foot “accidentally”. She wiggled her Toes, obviously ready
for him, and he figured that if he trusted her not to crush him in her Hand
when she was anger the day before, then he could trust her now. She flexed her Foot, pointing her Toes
upward, to make her Sole smoother so that he could apply the lotion. Getting the underside of her Toes and
balls of her Foot was easy because they were close to eye level. As he worked his way down, though, he
had to get on his knees to get the middle of her Sole. Once on his knees, he could feel the
skin on her Sole relax and wrinkle indicating that she had relaxed her
Foot. This made applying
the lotion a little harder because he had to work it into the wrinkles of her
Sole. With just a little
more to go, he had to lie on his back to get the last part of her Heel. Staring up at her Sole brought a sharp
sense of fear, realizing that a wrong move now on Julie’s part could mean the
end of his tiny existence. Not
wanting to find out if his fears would be validated, he quickly applied the
last of the lotion and slid out from under her Foot. Stepping backward,
breathing heavy, he felt somewhat satisfied that he had done a good job. However, just as he was catching his
breath, he saw the other Foot into position and he realized that he was only
half finished.
