As you blurrily blink your eyes open in the morning, it takes a second for your brain to recognize the face lying on the pillow next to you. The startling blue-green eyes, the thin lips, the gentle nose. It's a face you've only ever seen in a mirror or in photographs. The woman lying on the pillow next to you is…you.You gasp suddenly and your former body puts a hand out to stroke your face."Shhh, shhh, shhh," she says, your own fingers tickling your cheeks."What--?" You ask, your voice coming out deeper. A rough growl. You clear your throat and try again. "What happened?" That same voice. Baritone. Masculine."Baby, it's me, Your boyfriend." So odd hearing your own voice, watching your face move outside your control."I just-- I just had to try being in your body. I thought about it so much. Wondering what it was like and I made a wish and…it happened.""This is crazy! How do we fix this?""Why don't we worry about that later?" Your former body asks, moving closer. "For now, let's just enjoy this."He kisses you suddenly. Your former lips are so soft, your hands so delicate. Something in your new body reacts, a tightening in your gut, a yearning to pull your old body against you and kiss her. Touch her everywhere. Something between your legs twitches and you go with it, giving in to the se strange and wonderful new sensations.
