Lay Off

Mike was hopeful when he first saw his girlfriend Kayla approaching. She had the usual sway to her step, but then she sat down with a slouch and spread her legs wide.

“That’s still you, Nick, isn’t it?” Mike asked.

“Of course it’s still me,” Nick retorted from Kayla’s body, “Kayla and I couldn’t figure out how to swap back.”

“But the way you walked up here -- ”

“Is only because she forced me to wear her heels!” Mike interrupted before taking a sip of an iced mocha, “It’s hard to walk any other way wearing these damned things, unless I want to fall flat on my face.

”Maybe you could take up some more of her habits, like not sitting like a guy? Or laying off the sugary drinks? You’re gong to make my girlfriend fat.”

“Oh, lay off, dude, you’re worse than she is! It’s my body until we can swap back, and I’ll do what I want with it. You may be my best friend, but I’m not going to sit here and be lectured by you! Kayla’s given me enough demands, and we have an agreement on the limits of what I can and can’t do. So stop injecting yourself into it!”
