With breakfast over, their mom went to talk with Susan. Already knowing the outcome of that interaction & the breakfast rush coming to a close, Jon decided to chat up Carol. “Hey Carol, could I talk to you for a minute?”
“Sure Jon, I was just about to go on break.” As they went outside she continued. “So, what did you want to talk about?”
“Carol, be completely honest with me.” Carol had been such a great waitress & her & his mom were obviously great working friends despite the ‘chronological’ age gap. He wanted to see if there was anything he could help her with. “If magic was real & you could just snap your fingers & you’d get your wish, what would you want?”
“Wow, quite the icebreaker. Hm. Well, I guess I’d wish to be taller and curvier. Uh...” She had a look of confusion & shock. “I don’t know why I just said that.”
Jon guessed senses she would have probably said something else had she been able to lie, so this might have been some fantasy of hers. She was only 4 ‘10’ & about as flat as a board. Needless to say, his interest was peaked. “No, go on. You’ve got me curious. Why would that be what you would change?”
Carol started to look more at ease. “Wow, I never thought anyone would really care, but being under 5 foot, no one really noticed me. The only reason I made the cheerleading squad was because I’m so easy to lift. I want to know what it’s like to be on the other end of the spectrum, to be the center of attention, to stand out enough to maybe get a boyfriend or girlfriend.” She quickly covered her mouth with her hand & looked to be on the verge of tears.
“Girlfriend?” It suddenly clicked in Jon’s head. All those looks towards his mom now that she’s their age. She was checking her out. He’d also caught her catching glimpses towards him. He was going after Karyn, but if she’s bi, maybe something could be worked out.
“Please don’t tell anyone!” She started to tear up.
“It’s okay, I won’t, but why hide being bi?”
“Being on the cheer squad with the mega bitch, Sarah would find some way to kick me off. Not to mention her mom is my boss and would probably try to get me fired.”
“Well, considering her position, I don’t think you’ll have to worry about her anymore.” He decided to take a chance. “So, would you be interested in hanging out sometime?”
“That sounds great. Here take my number.” She wrote it down in her server book, tore the page out, & handed it to him. “Okay, I should get back to work.”
As they went inside and Jon made his way back to the booth, Jon thought about Carols wish & made a command under his breath. “Carol, for every tip you receive, depending on how much is tipped, have it increase your curves & height, with $100 adding, what would be proportional to you at this moment, one cup size to your boobs, one inch to your hip width, one inch to how far back your butt goes, & then while your entire body stays in proportion, one inch to your height .” He figured now would also be a good time test if he could command himself. “Jon, pull a $100 bill out of your pocket.” And just like that, he did.
As he approached the booth, he noticed his mom had gotten back with an excited smile on her face. “Jon! You’re not going to believe what happened.”
Zoe then got his attention. “She’s inheriting the business once she gets back from her paid vacation.”
“Well that should give you enough to buy a new wardrobe.” Jon said to his mom.
“Great idea. My usual style doesn’t really fit my current look. You can drop Zoe & I off at the mall on the way home. Let’s go.”
As they got up from the booth, Jon placed the $100 held down under a mug on the table. On his way out, he heard a gasp and looked back to see Carol picking it up just in time to see her filling out her outfit ever so slightly better.
