Body swap 2

"Your throat is so weak." He said, touching my neck. I can’t ask my husband for help. He doesn’t talk to me anymore. He even left me to die.

I stood up from the sand, I needed to brace myself, be strong, accept the situation and look for a way to solve it. I said, walking away.

"Wait, Lucinda, where are you going?" Ralph asked, walking after me.

"I am going home to eat." I replied bluntly.

"Wait!" he said, and held my hand. I turned to look at him.

"What?" I asked with my mouth hanging loosely.

"You can’t go to your house; you are me." He said, and I realized I couldn’t go back to my own house again.

"Fuck!!" I said and screwed up my face. I grabbed my hair tightly.

"So does that mean I have to go to your house?" I asked, looking at him. And he nodded.

"Gosh! I can’t believe this is happening." I said, walking out of the sea, and he followed behind me.

"We can’t even call a taxi because we don’t have money." He said, and we started walking in the streets.

"I can’t believe we have been walking for a long time now." I muttered, wait a minute, if Ralph is me, that means when my husband talks to me, he will hear it because he is me and he literally has my powers now and I have his teleporting powers sweet. I can’t believe I have a reason to be happy that I am him. So I need to be living like him, staying in his house. This means he will also be living like me, staying at my house with Medusa.

"OMG." I came to a halt and looked at him.

"I will teleport you home." I said, grabbing his hand.

"I don’t know if I also lost my powers." He said, staring at me.

"There is no harm in trying." I said and closed my eyes, but I couldn’t teleport. I opened my eyes and looked at him.

"It’s not working." I mumbled.

"If you want to teleport, you will close your eyes and picture the place you want to go in your head." He said. I close my eyes and picture the front of our building. I opened my eyes and we were there, standing in front of my building.

"So this is it." He said and sighed.

"You will have to live like me from now on till we find a solution." I muttered.

"You can start doing research." he said.

"Yes, definitely." I replied.

"You have to go now." I said, but he was still holding my hand.

"Ralph, please, I don’t want to go." he said, mimicking me and battling his lashes.

"Eww." I said, lifting my upper lip in disgust.

"You will have to go now." I said I'm trying to be strong, although I don’t know how I will cope with being him.

He refused to let go of my hand.

"Go." I stated.
