Natasha and Naomi: Housesitting

    Naomi walked up to the open air restaurant and sat down at one of the tables there. Ruth said that she would meet her there. Sure enough, Ruth came by with a tray of a few breads and sandwiches. “Hey. How are you?”

    Naomi nodded. “I’m doing great! I’m so relieved that it’s finally summer!”

    Ruth replied, “We all are! I brought some lunch, and maybe we could use this time to talk.”

    Naomi nodded. “That’s great, because…”

    Ruth interrupted her. “Nope, don’t say ‘because I’m starving.’ This is all I’m buying for you.”

    Naomi got flustered. “I-I wasn’t going to say that!” Ruth gave her a questioning look. “Okay, I may be a little hungry, but n-not starving! I had something to eat an hour or two ago.”

    Ruth nodded. “That’s good to know. I’m not breaking my bank over this.”

    Naomi blushed out of embarrassment. “I-I know, I’m really sorry about those other times. I’ll make it up to you, I swear.”

    Ruth smiled as she set down the tray in front of her. “Aw, don’t worry too much about it. As long as it doesn’t happen often, I can let you indulge yourself.”

    Naomi happily took one of the sandwiches on the tray while Ruth took hers. Naomi was taking big bites out of her sandwich while Ruth was patiently nibbling hers. When Ruth looked up next, Naomi was finishing off her sandwich. “Woah, you definitely wasted no time in putting that away.”

    Naomi blushed. “I-I’m sorry, but… it was pretty good. I just savor it quickly.”

    Ruth shrugged. “You don’t have to explain yourself to me.”

    Naomi paused. “But it’s weird… I hardly feel full at all.”

    “Yeah, you’ve mentioned that.” Ruth said, still munching on her sandwich.

    “I know, but before, it would’ve held me over just fine.” Naomi said.

    Ruth raised an eyebrow. “What do you think happened?”

    Naomi shrugged. “Come to think of it, I think it happened after…” Naomi abruptly stopped herself. She was going to say that it happened after she swallowed Natasha’s slime. She remembered that she digested some of her slime, but Natasha was back to her usual size by the next day. She didn’t think much of it.

    Ruth sighed. “You know, I didn’t want to say this, because it seemed rude, but… you do seem a little more… round.” She said. “Maybe it’s because you’re eating too much. Didn’t you want to slim down?”

    “W-Well, I did, but…” Naomi held her tongue again.

    Ruth sighed. “Whatever. What’s your business is your business.” Naomi was about to respond, when she suddenly got an alert on her phone. It was a text message, and Naomi looked a little bit exasperated. “What? What’s wrong?”

    Naomi sighed. “Just a friend that I do DnD with on occasions.”

    Ruth smiled. “I didn’t know you were into that kind of stuff.”

    Naomi was blushing again. “I-It’s more of a recent development… She wants everyone to go to her place tonight, but I can’t… I need someone to watch over the home…”

    Ruth looked up. “Well, I can do it. To be honest, it’s been pretty boring without Taylor bothering me. Though, her constant updates from London are like she never left.”

    Naomi was a little flustered. “W-Well… I’m not sure it’s a good idea.”

    “Come on, Naomi… What are you so worried about? You know me. I’ll take good care of the place!”

    Naomi whispered under her breath, “It’s not you I’m worried about…” She thought for a while longer. “Alright, you can watch over the house for me, Ruth. Just come over at 7:30, and I’ll tell you what to do.”

    “Yes! You won’t regret this, Naomi! I’ll make sure nothing goes on at the house!”

    Naomi waved Ruth goodbye as she left, and then she came home with a huge box of supplies. Once she came home, Natasha greeted her once again with a big, enveloping hug. “Naomi! You’re home! I’ve missed you!”

    Naomi would normally not like Natasha rushing up to her as soon as she came home, but she just let Natasha hug her this time. “I missed you, too, Natasha…” Naomi said to humor her.

    Natasha finally noticed the box that Naomi was carrying. “What’s that, Naomi? Is that for me?”

    “Actually, it is for you!”

    Natasha got excited. “Yay! What did you give me?”

    Naomi moved the box to her bedroom. “Oh, nothing special. I just packed this stuff full of pizza and soda, your favorites!”

    Natasha gasped and hugged Naomi again. “Yay! Why did you get me all this stuff?”

    Naomi started feeling a little guilty. “Well, I’m actually going to be… going out.”

    “Aww, again? But, we haven’t spent a day together in a while!”

    “Natasha, we’re already living together.”

    “Yeah, but you always leave! And I’m so bored here alone!”

    “Well, my friend is going to be watching the house, but… please, don’t bother her.”

    “Aww, why not? I was just gonna see how she tastes!” Natasha giggled.

    Naomi sighed. “And that’s why you aren’t allowed to be with my friends.”

    “Aww, Naomi…”

    “I’m serious, please stay in that room, and I’ll eat all the pizza you want with you!”

    Natasha thought for a little while to consider. “Mmmmm… okay!”

    Naomi sighed in relief. “Thank you, Natasha…” Naomi hugged her slimy friend.

    Natasha giggled. “Don’t worry, Naomi! I’ll be a good slime girl while your friend is here!”

    Naomi smiled. “That’s all I ask.” Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. “Okay, that’s her. Please, be good.”

    Natasha smiled as she stayed put as Naomi closed the door to her bedroom. Naomi then went to her front door and greeted Ruth. “You’re just in time!” Naomi said as she let her in. Naomi was just gathering the rest of her stuff before she left. “Okay, there’s always food in the fridge, you know where the TV is. The only thing you should remember is that my bedroom is off limits.”

    Ruth shrugged. “Sure, sounds easy enough.”

    Naomi nodded. “Thank you for doing this.”

    “Hey, it’s the least I could do! Have fun!”

    Naomi waved goodbye as she went out the door. Once Naomi was out the door, Ruth hopped onto the couch and flipped through the channels. “This doesn’t seem bad. I don’t see why Naomi needed someone to housesit.”

    Meanwhile, Natasha was quickly getting bored of sitting in Naomi’s bedroom. She ate her fill of her box of pizza and soda. But she really wanted Naomi to be proud of her, and maybe she’ll want to stay to play more often! Natasha tried her hardest to be good…

    After a long couple hours Ruth finally said, “Okay, I think I’ve had enough with watching TV…” Naomi said she was free to help herself to some leftovers. Even though they were good, they weren’t as good reheated… Ruth eventually got a little curious about Naomi’s room. “Hmm… I wonder why Naomi didn’t want me going into her room… She was never this secretive before…” Ruth was deliberating as she just watched some reruns on TV. She couldn’t take this amount of curiosity anymore. Ruth got up from her seat and started walking to Naomi’s bedroom.

    Ruth’s mind was wandering wildly, picturing what Naomi could possibly be hiding in her bedroom. Ruth finally opened the door, only to see a gigantic blue blob that looked vaguely like a girl… “Who are you?” She said. Ruth immediately slammed the door. Ruth had to take a moment to process what she just saw. However, the blue thing started coming out from under the door. “Wait, I know you, you’re Naomi’s friend!” Ruth started screaming and ran into the living room. “Wait, don’t go! I just want to play!” Ruth started throwing what she could grab at her. All it did was sink into her slime. “Um, I’m not supposed to eat that…” Ruth kept throwing some things. “I’m not supposed to eat that, either! Stop it! I’m going to get in trouble!” Natasha got closer to Ruth.

    Ruth ran away back into the bedroom. Ruth took her phone, and tried to call Naomi. All she got was her answering machine. “Oh, that’s right… if I tell Naomi, she’ll know I looked in her room!” Ruth was wondering what to do next. “Taylor’s in London, but maybe I can call…” Natasha squeezed under the door again and quickly engulfed Ruth! Natasha giggled as Ruth started squirming. “You still taste great!” She stopped suddenly. “Oh no! I’m going to get in trouble!”

    It didn’t take long for Naomi to come home. Naomi came into the bedroom to see a sheepish Natasha and a panicking Ruth! “O-Oh, Naomi! Y-You’re home! So soon?”

    “We wrapped up early. But Natasha! I told you not to eat my friend!”

    “N-Naomi? W-What is this thing? You know about this?”

    Naomi sighed. “Ruth, this is Natasha… she’s a slime girl. I’ve… been trying to keep her secret.” Naomi got mad at Natasha. “But Natasha! I told you not to leave the bedroom!”

    “B-But I didn’t! She came in here!”

    “Natasha, don’t lie to me!”

    Ruth looked a little guilty. “Um, actually… I did come in here… I’m sorry, Naomi.”

    Naomi sighed. “Well, I guess I can’t really get mad. At least there was no harm done. Let’s just get you out of there…” Naomi tried reaching into Natasha’s slime to pull Ruth out. Natasha giggled as she tried to pull her out. Suddenly, Naomi was sucked inside, too! Both girls were floating in Natasha’s slime.

    “How often does this happen?” Ruth asked.

    “You get used to it…” Naomi replied.
