The Body Swap (completed)

CHP8

"Dolcezza I'm home!"Vanessa called out but there was no response. She thought of it strange since she knew that Alex would always notify her if she comes home late. Or if she goes out with Sean.

How strange indeed. She put down the keys on the table. The lights were off which made it more strange. Where did Alex go?

The moment she opened the lights in the living room, she was surprised beyond compare. On the sofa, lay a sleeping man with Alex wearing diapers.

"Che due palle!" She stated in disbelief which made Alex and Luke wake up in a jolt.

"Mom! You're home."She stood up to explain the scenario to her mom.

"Why are you wearing a diaper? Scratch that, who the heck is that guy?!" She put her shoulder bag above her head to hit Luke who was already standing up, his hands held out to defend himself.

"His name is Luke and he's my friend. Stop freaking out!"

"What's with the diaper?!"She asked yet again.

"It's nothing alright. It was a dare so would you stop?! Put down the bag."
Vanessa hugged her daughter.

Silence.

"Stop scaring me would you?"she whispered after a moment.

They've been like that for a minute or so."Mom can you let go of me now? I need to take a shower. I feel icky."

Her mom let go and she bolted  upstairs. After Alex was out of sight, Vanessa turned to Luke who was a bit nervous.

"And you mister....we've got a lot to talk about." Luke's nervousness escalated quickly.

Alex felt refreshed after that shower. She got her hairbrush and brushed her still dripping wet hair. Laughter was heard downstairs which made her turn her head.

What on earth is happening down there?

She ran downstairs and followed the voices to the kitchen where she found Luke and her mother having tea.

"Oh darling. Luke and I were just talking about you. Oh where'd you find a man as sweet as him?"Her mom stated once she saw her presence.

"I'm sure they are all around the corner."She grabbed Luke and tried to drag him out of there. " I think Luke and I need to go out for a walk."

"What? But your mother and I were just---"

"Luke, now."She insisted. Luke looked at her dubiously before standing up and excusing himself. Alex pushed him out of there.

"Honey get back soon!"Her mom called out.

Once outside their home, Alex curiously looked at Luke before asking what her mother told him about her. He sheepishly smiled and shook his head, forcing laughter to not come out.

Alex hit him on the shoulder slightly . "Now I'm more curious."

"I'll tell you when the time comes in the future."

The two teenagers eventually found themselves in the crowded parts of the streets of the city. Alex didn't wear shoes so her feet were freezing. It was awfully cold that night .

"So Luke, how did it feel to be the first man to menstruate hm?"

"Painful most definitely."He looked away. Alex noticed this. "Hey don't get weirded out yet because you'll get through it again tomorrow."

"That's what I'm worried about now. And hey if you plan on changing my diapers, I'd better paint your jeans red."

She smiled. Something about him makes her feel weirdly comfortable and safe around him.They walked along the well lighted park. Still the light illuminated from the moon is just enough to get them around. Few people were also roaming around there.

Leaves flapped and danced around with the wind. Alex cussed for not bringing a jacket and she hugged herself. Out of the corner of his eye, Luke espied her action. He removed his red hoodie and handed it over to her.

"Here. You can use this."

"Hm? Nah I'm cool"Alex denied.

"No you're freezing actually. Here, take it."He persisted.

Alex didn't say anything more and took the hoodie. It was warm, comfortable and it smelled a lot like him.

"Huh, I noticed you like hoodies. Your wardrobe is full of them."

"What? It's what you also wear when you're me."

They sat down at a nearby bench. Out of nowhere, Alex's phone rang in her pocket. She brought it out and looked at the caller I.D.

Sean.

"You better take that"

"I----excuse me."She excused herself and picked up the call. Luke sat silently, looking at Alex not too far away pacing back and forth.

He tried to determine what Sean was trying to say to her. She was talking to what he presumed was her boyfriend. Instantly his thoughts flashbacked to the time when the man tried to kiss him. He shook his head and felt goosebumps rise.

Luke felt very proud of himself today. Despite the turn of events, he still managed to avoid contact with her friends and her boyfriend. Just by looking at him that day and a while ago made him realize that the dude was supposedly a bad boy.

Alex returned and sat down besides him. Luke set his thoughts aside and talked to her.

"What'd he say?"

"Well, for starters he asked me where I ran off to and then  he told me that I was acting pretty weird. But other than that nothing else."

"I guess he really loves you huh?"

"To be honest I don't even really know anymore. It's like he is slipping of my fingers you know?"

"I understand. Don't worry he'll come along."Luke smiled.

"How about you? Why are you still fucking single? You've got everything!" She stated which made Luke scratch the back of his neck.

"It's cause I'm immune to women."He joked. Alex laughed. While she laughed, he caught eye of something which was on the same bench as they are. It was a newspaper, a school newspaper left behind by someone just today assuming by the date.

Luke read the headlines in bold letters:

STUDS COMPLAIN SEXUAL HARASSMENT AGAINST PROF

Immedietely he took the paper. Maybe just maybe.... he thought.

"Hey Alex I think I might have found a way to find your dad." He said as he showed her the paper.
