Before Lisa knew it she was getting dressed for work Monday morning. The previous day had been a whirlwind of sexual exploration with Jack. Having only been a woman now just over two days, she wanted to try every sexual position imaginable and Jack was eager to comply.
She found the original Lisa’s lingerie collection and tried on some different outfits. The whole day was surreal experience learning the joys of being a woman in love.
Now as Lisa dressed she grumbled to herself about having to return to work. Jack had a longer commute and had to get up early and leave early. Lisa tried to convince him to stay in bed a little longer, and she’d almost succeeded, but Jack had other responsibilities besides pleasing his wife.
Lisa had showed and gone through ‘her’ wardrobe. New Lisa meant a new look. She never understood why Lisa…the former Lisa, had dressed like and uptight librarian, with long sleeved, buttoned up silk tops, nylons, skirts and high heels. The dress code at work didn’t require it, so the new Lisa decided to go with something different.
She slide into a tight pair of jeans, all of Lisa’s jeans were tight and showed off her ass, but other women at work wore jeans, so she could now too. Lisa had grown fond of casual stretchy tank tops and Lisa had an abundance of them. She pulled on a black one that had a built in bra. It lifted and pressed her breasts up and she smiled down admiring them.
“I wonder why Lisa never dressed like this?”
She had learned enough over the last few days to make her self presentable, makeup was still new to her. Fearful of over doing it, she went with simplicity and approved of the results.
After a quick breakfast, she was in Lisa’s…in HER car, driving to work. As she parked and watched other people heading into the office it suddenly struck her in a way that she had expected.
She wasn’t James anymore. The last time she’d been in that building on Friday night, that’s who she had been, but now when she walks into the building Monday morning, she’ll be Lisa.
So much of James’ identity had been about his job. He didn’t have a relationship and no close family, so work was who he was, but now that wasn’t true anymore. Lisa had a husband and a home, and work.
Lisa got out of her car and walked into the building.
As she stepped into the building she felt a strange surrealness to the experience. Everything was exactly the same, only a foot taller. Shifting from her old 6’4” to now being 5’4” gave her different view of the world. The vending machine that she used to be able look on top of, now seemed like an opposing monolith.
Habitually , she made her way towards “James’ office”, but caught herself before she reached for the door handle, and turned towards “Lisa’s cubical”…her cubical. She felt a strange feeling of claustrophobia walked through the maze of 6 high cubical walls. A few days ago she could look over them with ease and see the expanse of the office, but now the partitions towered all around her. Even if she was to stand on her tip toes, she wouldn’t have a chance of looking over them.
She sat down at ‘her’ desk, put her purse in a drawer and turned on her computer. As it booted up she looked around the office. It ‘looked’ exactly the same, but it ‘felt’ completely different. As she turned she noticed the stare from John, a guy who’d sat a nearby cubical. Their eyes meet, John smiled briefly, gave a little wave and turned his chair around back towards his computer.
“Was he just staring at me?” Lisa thought uncomfortably.
Lisa groaned inwardly. As James she’d gone to lunch with John a few times and knew his thoughts on women, including all of the women in the office, especially Lisa. He’d wanted to ‘get in up in those guts’ and fuck her cross-eyed. He’d made it clear that he thought women were good for just one thing, and so James had distanced himself from him, but still had to talk to him occasionally and knew his character.
Lisa turned back toward her desk, but after a moment could feel his eyes on her once again. There was a little vanity mirror on her desk, which ‘James’ had always thought had been there for her to check her makeup, but upon looking at it, she saw John staring at her again, as their eyes again meet, he turned back towards his computer.
Disgusted, Lisa went to type in her password and froze…she didn’t know Lisa’s password. She sighed and made a quick call to the tech support. She knew that Gary was always busy it would take him an hour to get over to help Lisa reset her password.
“Morning Lisa, you having trouble?” Gary’s voice said coming up behind her.
“Oh, that was fast. I forgot my password and was wondering if you could reset it for me.”
“Sure thing sweetheart’. Gary stepping up beside Lisa, towering over her.
“You need me to get up?” Lisa asked, know from experience that Gary liked to have access to the keyboard.
“No stay right where you are, I got this.” Gary said leaning over Lisa and typing on the keyboard.
He was practically pressed up against her as he typed and his arm slide against her right breasts as he typed. Lisa tried to scoot away, but she was pinned in against the desk.
“Alright, there ya good, all set, just type in your new password.” Gary said standing up again towering over her.
“Thanks.” Lisa said she quickly typed in a new password.
“Anything else I can help you with?” Gary asked, still standing to close to Lisa.
“I think I good.”
“I’ll just stay her for a minute to make sure everything is working ok for you.”
Lisa again felt ‘eyes on her’ and subconsciously felt the need bring her arm up over her chest. She looked down at her exposed cleavage and knew that Gary had to be looking down the front of her shirt. She fanned scratching her shoulder and adjusting her hair, and she turned her back to Gary to look in her desk.
“I think you got everything under control.” Gary said as he turned to leave.
“Thanks.” Lisa forced herself to say pleasantly, but felt angry at being ogled.
“I guess I know why Lisa wears the tops that button up to her neck.” She thought glumly as she realized that was a new reality that she was living in. James had checked up Lisa every chance he got and know that ‘he’ WAS Lisa, she knew that she’d have to deal with the same thing from every guy in the office. Being the office ‘hottie’ was kind of exciting in principle, but in practice, it was humiliating and demeaning.
She was still the same person on the inside, but all that the world cared about was her outward appearance. But then again…was she still the same person on the inside? Her old self, wouldn’t have spent all day Sunday having sex with Jack, but she had. She now thought of herself as a woman, but still expected the world to treat her as a man.
She had been James, but James gone now. With all of the excitement of BEING Lisa, she’d forgotten about that. How that going to play out? Would the police be involved? Would there be an investigation? James had called Lisa the Friday just before he’d disappeared. If they tracked his cellphone, the police could put them together…in a hotel room. What could Lisa say about that? She felt a sudden tightening of her chest knowing that she would now be a suspect in her ‘own’ disappearance.
She couldn’t go to jail, could she? And if even if she didn’t, the infestation would bring up to many questions and Jack would find out about it and she might lose him, too.
She was living a lie and it was all about to come crashing down around her.
“Lisa, can I see you in my office?” a strangely familiar voice said.
Lisa looked up and heart suddenly soared when she saw a very familiar face looking down at her from over the cubical wall.
“Right away…James.”
