Junior assistant Marina (Patreon)

Chet loved this quiet bar. It was cozy here, good music played and there was a good contingent of people. In addition, this bar was on the way to his house and it just so happened that he became a guest in this place.

At 35, he has already achieved quite a lot. He held a high position in a large company and chalked up a lot of money. But due to his modesty, he did not have success with women and was lonely all this time. Therefore, he came to this bar regularly being in despair and remembering his unsuccessful dates.

There were beautiful girls here, but they were either with friends or with their husbands or boyfriends and therefore he had no chance to meet. Online dating was just one disappointment.

On one of these evenings, he was in the same depressed mood thinking about Marina. Marina is a young girl at his work, who recently got a job as a junior assistant and did the simplest job. But she was happy, despite the fact that she had nothing but her youth. Chet thought so. She loved the job and often stayed late, even though she was paid very little. Looking at it, he recalled how he did it himself, but it was all for the future and yet even then he earned more.

It cannot be said that he was jealous of her, but today it was like that. He did not want to once again return to his rather expensive apartment and he came to the bar thinking about injustice.

A fairy flying nearby was just looking for a suitable person to help him, and Chet's thoughts attracted her attention. She remained invisible and flew closer to listen to his thoughts more attentively.

Chet got another shot of spirits. Holding in his hand, he thought about the futility of being and the unfairness of life in which a stupid girl in a low-paid job is happier than him. Exhaling, he quickly drank a creamy drink and continued to look further at the bar wall with alcohol

- Hey

A man's voice distracted his attention from his thoughts after almost a minute as he stared at the bar wall and thought about the meaning of life. He turned to him and saw that a young guy was standing next to him and smiling

- Maybe I will treat you to a cocktail?

The guy continued in the same way and looked at Chet with a smile. It was too suspicious and strange. Usually no one approached him like that, much less offered him a drink. The thought that this guy was gay alarmed Chet and he just kept staring at him.

- Yes, everything is all right. I just wanted to buy and talk to you. Waiter, please repeat her drink for the lady. Better two than one (he said with a wink and sat down on the table next to him)

- Ladies ... ahem ... what the ?!

Chet was surprised at first at the sound of his voice, and then at what he saw when he looked at the bar to clear his throat. His hand was holding some kind of glass with a very different drink and was smaller with smooth white skin and no hair with long nails.

Examining his hand, his gaze gradually dropped down to see the neckline and two distinctly small breasts under the dress with thin spaghetti straps. Earrings shook in the earlobes, pulling their skin down.

- Something is wrong?

Looking up at the guy again, Chet squeezed his chest in shock and took a loud gulp of saliva that had accumulated in his mouth, unable to figure anything out at that moment. 

...

Not understanding anything, Chet got up from the bar stool, which now seemed taller to him than before and almost lost his balance to find that his shoes had also changed and instead of sneakers he was wearing some kind of women's shoes with heels, which banged loudly against the bar floor.

Without listening to this guy's speech, he looked around in the hope that someone else besides him noticed this change. But everything around was the same as usual. People sat at the tables and talked calmly and the customary calm music played. No one noticed that instead of a 35-year-old bald man in a jacket, a young girl suddenly appeared at the bar.

The desire to leave this place as soon as possible was the very first. The annoying guy was shouting something after him, but Chet didn't care. He hobbled on his heels like a drunken graduate, feeling his small chest shaking under the dress.

Running out into the street, the noise of cars stopped him and for a moment he tried to figure out what to do next. Someone touched his shoulder and turning his head he saw this annoying guy again

- You forgot

He spoke with a smile and held a woman's purse in his hands, holding it out to Chet. He looked at him incredulously, but the guy resolutely put the purse in Chet's hand, unexpectedly for Chet, saying goodbye and wishing him a good evening.

The road home was not ordinary and strange. He walked along the usual route and noticed how everyone was looking at him. It seemed to him that everyone saw in him the same 35-year-old man dressed in women's clothes, but even without looking down, he still felt from the shaking of his chest that it was not so.

In the end, he could not stand it and took a taxi after finding some small cash in his purse, which was barely enough for the trip home. The price was justified considering how long they drove, but it was strange because Chet lived nearby and usually walked from his apartment in the center to work. He did not argue with the taxi driver and simply gave the money so that he could quickly be at home alone.

When he finally reached the house and climbed the stairs, he noticed that all this time, almost immediately after leaving the bar, he walked easily on heels, as if he had been doing this all his life and only now realized that it was strange to find himself in front of the door of his apartment and open it. Because the door was also not his, although the key that he easily found in his purse without even thinking for a second about where he easily went to the lock and opened the door.

Having made a couple of steps into the apartment, he slowed down, realizing that this was not his apartment. It was a small apartment with inexpensive furniture, but everything was clean and tidy. It was evident that a girl lives here who loves cleanliness and who does not have a lot of money. 

...

There were mostly women's clothes on the hanger, but he stared at the men's coat in the hallway. Listening carefully, I realized that fortunately now he was here alone. He didn’t want to be on the street again in this form, but he couldn’t stay here either. I had to get to my apartment. Therefore, gathering his strength, he again found himself on the street trying to remember where to go. In the mobile application, he entered the address in the maps ... To his surprise, the point on the map was nearby. He typed in the address next to which he was! But this was definitely not his home!

Out of a sense of despair, he returned to this apartment again in the hope that the owners would not return. He didn't even know what to tell them if they suddenly return. That he suddenly became a girl and then somehow came here? That the key to this purse came to their door? It all seemed nonsense.

Finally removing these uncomfortable shoes in the hallway, he felt relief on his feet and began to rummage in his purse in search of anything that would explain all this. Holding a passport in his hands and looking in the reflection in the mirror, he saw the same face. The girl's face ... his face ... it was the same as in the passport. But only after reading the name and surname, he began to guess!

Marina Avanesyan, 21 years old, country of birth Armenia. It was Marina's passport - the girl Chet had been thinking of in the bar from work! But that was not her face! Scrolling down the page, he found the registration address in his passport, which coincided with the address of this apartment. It was obvious that this was his home and he had come to the right address.

Slowly, incredulously, he entered the small room, which was at the same time the kitchen, he examined and one photo caught his eye. She was wearing the same girl from the passport and from the mirror ... Marina ... Together with Charles Bronsmon - the head of the department in which she worked as an assistant!

Tying everything together, Chet understood why Marina liked to linger after work and why she had such a strange last name. She was not born in the USA and was an immigrant, but no one knew about this, because she had a love relationship with Charles, who got her a job!

Clenching his fists in self-hatred because he envied her, he looked with dismay at the man's cloak in the hallway and heard the doorbell ring. 

...

Chet didn't want to open it. He just sat down on the bed, waiting for the caller to leave. But the doorbell continued to ring and behind the thin door he heard Charles's voice, who asked to be opened and was clearly under the influence of alcohol. The worst fears came true. Somehow he got Marina's life and was now trapped in her apartment. It all seemed gibberish, but it was a fact.

Finally the calls stopped and Chet was already exhaling with relief, but suddenly he heard the phone ringing loudly throughout the apartment in his purse.

- I knew you were at home! Why don't you open it ?!

In panic, rummaging in his purse and trying to find him in a panic, he heard Charles outside the door. Having dropped the challenge, he slowly walked to the door and for some reason looked through the peephole. There really was Charles with a bouquet of flowers and a smile.

The door lock clicked and Charles instantly opened the door from the other side, finding himself in the house.

- Are you asleep?

`` I ... yes ...

Chet replied, trying to pretend to be sleepy and hiding his fear.

- I thought you were bored and waiting for me at the bar. I received your SMS, but when I arrived you weren't there.

- I just ... I wanted to sleep and I left

- Did you leave 15 minutes after the text message? Oh, okay. We would have gone to your place anyway, right? Oh yes, sweet.

He pulled Chet to him with a strong hand and squeezed his backside. He smelled of alcohol and tobacco, but Chet could not resist Charles, who was always the same as Chet in body size, but now seemed to him a giant

- Listen ... I'm not for long, so let's get down to business right now?

Charles asked insolently, smiling and looking straight into the face of the frightened Chet.

...

Half an hour later

...

Chet sat on the bed with his arms out and watched as Charles in a hurry was going to understand absolutely nothing. During these half an hour, they managed to quickly drink a little wine, kiss several times and almost started having sex, but a sudden call from Charles' wife interrupted this and now he was going to leave without saying anything to Chet.

But that was for the best. As soon as the door closed, Chet, trying to comprehend his behavior, quietly said

- What the hell just happened ...

He didn’t understand why he hadn’t resisted Charles. In those moments it seemed to him that he needed to do just that, and not otherwise. In those moments, even when they were kissing and he felt disgusted with it, he still continued to do it, realizing that it was necessary. What is it for? Why is this necessary? He had no answers then and he did not have now. 

...

To say that Chet found it difficult to accept the fact that he had lost his old life forever is to say nothing. On the same evening after the change, he already understood the most important shocking changes about himself.

Somehow everything around him changed and he himself became a completely different person about whom he knew nothing at all. In fact, he found out that he had become Marina, but only he did not receive her body, but received the same life as her and the same body as her. Having acquired youth and becoming 14 years younger, along with this, he lost his male part and all his hard-earned money and, most importantly, all his knowledge, which was replaced by Marina's knowledge, he could even speak Armenian.

He could only be himself when he was alone. For some unknown reason, now always, when he was in the company of familiar people who, when they knew Marina, he wanted to behave completely and differently at such moments and it seemed to him normal. But when he found himself alone, the feeling of wrongness did not leave him and everything seemed strange until he finally accepted the fact that he somehow had to live further in this body and when he began to behave like Marina, then he became much easier...

But, of course, it was not all at once.

Before the first day of work, he had enough time on the weekend to learn more and he did it. Having studied every corner of the apartment, he was surprised every time that he knew everything here. As soon as he thought about it at that moment, he remembered where some thing was. All access passwords from social pages and other information about Marina's life were in his head. He tried not to think about her past, but when he started, he immediately recognized it all. Even Marina's first kiss and her first sex, as soon as he thought about it, he realized that it was with him and remembered all Marina's feelings and knew what she felt as if it was him.

Still inside as a heterosexual man, he did not want to poke around in her sexual memories at all, and of course he tried not to.

But at the same time, he could not remember anything accurate from his life. He remembered the faces of his friends, parents and all the events, but even their names were now unknown to him. Just like on the first day, when he tried to remember something personal about himself, he remembered the same only from the life of Marina and this drove him crazy.

On his first day at work, Monday, he came dressed in Marina's most modest clothes, but even that was too much for him. A tight pencil skirt, a blouse and of course high heels. Make-up turned out to be as necessary for him as these clothes. Simultaneously with a feeling of disgust for all this, for some reason he was sure that it was necessary to dress femininely. Thank God it was not difficult for him now even to do makeup, and even more so to choose what to wear. And soon he even began to experience the woman’s morning agony of choosing clothes.

The first sex with Charles was unexpected for Chet. The whole first day he did the simple work of Marina, which now seemed difficult to him. All day he saw on himself all these lustful looks of the male half of the office and each time he blushed and wanted to sink into the ground when he noticed it. He was already terribly uncomfortable in all this, and when he noticed such a look it became just a nightmare.

When the day was over, he didn't want to go home. He explained this to himself by the fact that here at least everything was familiar to him, and there was someone else's life. But in fact it was because of the evening meetings of Marina and Charles in which she did other "work". And only after he regularly performed her 'oral dictation' and felt a true disgust, he realized that it was not only because he was once a man and did this job for a not very beloved colleague. The second reason was that Marina also hated it. She did this only in order to live in an apartment at the expense of Charles and have a job, but most importantly, he promised to help her with citizenship so that she would not be deported back to Armenia. Because, as Chet soon found out, her work visa had long since expired.
