"Alright how about her?" I asked, pointed to a cute girl walking through the park.
"Don't ask me. Check the HunnieBee." Kyu stated and grabbed the device out of my pocket. After the initial shock of my personal space being invaded wore off, I took the phone from her. I hit the girl finder button and saw that the screen was still blank.
"Care to explain how this works for me? Or should we just call it quits now?" Kyu smacked me upside the head.
"Focus. She probably just didn't meet the criteria." Oh, good things were more complicated now.
"Criteria?"
"Yeah she probably has a boyfriend, or maybe a girlfriend I could see her getting all hot and steamy with another chick." That last part brought a look to Kyu's face that I was getting a tad too familiar with.
"Any other criteria I should know about?" Was all I could think to ask as I took a seat on a nearby bench and Kyu started to list them off.
"Well they gotta be single that's easy enough. They need to be open to the idea as well so, someone looking for or hoping for a single dude to walk into their life. Last and possibly the most important you have to find them genuinely attractive. No point wasting the magic if the chick just don't do it for you." That all made sense, I just wish this wasnt getting more and more complicated by the second.
"Alright so let's wander and see what we can find I guess." I held the HunnieBee up and started to wander around the park, Kyu floating besides me. After a few minutes the HunnieBee let out a soft beeping noise and the picture of a mature asian woman appeared on the screen. I looked around quickly and found her sprawled across a bench. Before I could really take in what I was looking at or what was happening another gorgeous girl showed up and the HunnieBee let out another small beep. The new girl was rather tall for most women and her darker skin and slightly out of place dress let onto possible Indian descent. She walked up to the first woman and struck up a conversation.
"Aaaaaaaaaahhh…" The asian women let out a groan as she seemed to sink deeper into the bench she was on.
"Good morning Aiko!" The second woman said warmly. Aiko, huh, nice name.
"Oh, hey Beli" Aiko struggled to get the sentence out and lifted her head to greet her friend. Beli, cute name as well.
"What's wrong?" Beli asked genuinely concerned. "Seem's like something's bothering you."
"Yeah, Life." She replied with just a pinch of sarcasm. It got a laugh out of Beli as she tried to change the topic.
"How are classes going?" I could feel the pain from Aiko as she let out one hell of a groan.
"Ugghhhhh, I don't want to talk about that." Beli took a moment and seemed to think her next move over a bit.
"Mmmm, well, I think I have just the thing!" She said perking up even more. "I'm headed to the beach to work on a few poses. You should join me. Nothing like a little exercise to melt that stress away." She had a spark in her eye, never seen anyone get so excited over some poses. Aiko seemed much less interested.
"Ehhhhh, not today. I'm just not feeling' it." Beli seemed a bit defeated by being turned down but hid it well.
"Will I at least be seeing you this weekend at the studio?" A brief pause before Aiko responded
"I'll be there. I don't think I have anything else going on, for once." She seemed really happy about that and Beli seemed quite pleased as well.
"Great! Can't wait! See you there," and with that she was on her way again.
Before I could even think about talking to Aiko, Kyu was in my ear again. "Dude… bro… Asian chicks… don't even get me started. I have like the worst case of yellow fever ever… EVER." This I could understand. "Like a yellow plague," that might be a bit much.
"Well let's give this a whirl." I said as I took a step towards Aiko.
A hand slap to the back of my head quickly stopped that plan. "Bro use the hunniebee." Right, almost forgot. Kyu quickly pushed me over behind the cover of some bushes as I fumbled with the phone for a second before finding what I thought was the button. Girl finder app, Aiko, and suddenly a pink sphere with a heart in it was on the screen.
"Here goes nothing." was all I could think to say as I tapped the screen.
Once again my body was consumed with light and warmth, this time though I was able to feel some slight changes occur, a little height a little less weight and a little older. A laugh escaped my lips as the light faded and I was back in the park. I looked myself over and oh god, this shirt was so loud it made my ears hurt. It was a very vibrant hawaiian shirt with a least five radically different colors thrown across it. Besides that, I felt a nice bit of beard and some bushy curly hair across my head. I was surprisingly heavy set, not super fat but not skinny. Let's call it a healthy weight. Overall not bad, a little odd but not unordinary for a guy just hitting thirty.
I looked over to Kyu who was taking this all in with a smile. "Lets get to it." she said before turning back towards Aiko who thankfully had not moved through all this. "This is a tough approach. She's kinda in a shitty mood, so say something stupid to try and cheer her up. It doesn't matter what." Well that sounds perfect for me. "The stupider the better." Yup, perfect. Surprisingly I didn't feel that nervous as I started to walk forward already sorting through the options for my opening line.
I walked up from behind her and leaned over the back of the bench next to her. "Hey can you teach me karate?" I was told to start stupid, and go big or go home right?
Laugher a surprising amount of laugher that was rather contagious was her first response. "Oh my god! Could you please be more racist?" The sarcasm was thick but also came with a lovely smile. I found myself laughing with her as I went on.
"But, for real, what's up? You look a little bummed out over here." I asked as I slid into the seat next to her. She relaxed and and let out a small sigh.
"Oh, no I'm good. I'm just trying to relax; enjoying a little down time before classes. I teach up at U.O.G. You know the place? It's like the only university in the city for some reason"
Yes I'm afraid I am very familiar with it, though if I had a teacher like her I'm sure I would have enjoyed it much more. "A teacher, you must be like really smart?" Was all I could think to stammer as I tried to get my mind back on track.
"Sure; yes. Let's go with that." More laughter, from both of us. "I'm glad you came over here. I needed a good laugh. The kids call me Ms. Yumi, but, you can call me Aiko."
I smiled and offered her my hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you Aiko, you can call me Ferris, Ferris Braxton." As she shook my hand with a smile I couldn't help but wonder a few things. Who the hell was Ferris? Why did that name feel so right?
This woman was gorgeous, I couldn't take it all in from afar but up close there was no denying it. Curvy hips, slender waist and the perfectly large breasts for her body. For a teacher she was showing off a lot of skin to. Her crop top and green jacket left her midriff exposed and her shorts cut off way above her knees. Most striking though were her eyes. They were an almost hypnotic dark grey that matched her hair. Her glasses framed them and drew your eyes to them. It was hard to look away. Hope she doesn't catch or mind me starring.
"So Aiko what exactly do you teach up at old U.O.G?" She must have just started for me not to have heard about her at all. A hot teacher like this must be the talk of the school.
"Well, I'm supposed to be a physics professor, let's just leave it at that." Will do. "What about you?" She asked "What do you do for a living?" I froze for a second but next thing I knew the answer came to me plain as day.
"I'm an inventor. I create and design toys, gadgets, trinkets little things like that." She seemed genuinely impressed and interested. Oddly enough I kinda was too.
"Really? Make anything I would know about?" Lots of ideas, but ah yes, that's the line I need.
"You would have but those jerks at Hasbro stole my nerf gun idea." More laugher, I could get used to this.
"So what brought you over here? Just in the habit of bugging every girl you meet?" She asked with a smile.
"Yes actually, nothing more fun than annoying random, beautiful woman." Another chuckle out of her, talking with girls is the best, so I kept going. "Seriously though, I just feel it's best to live spontaneously do what I want, when I want. Have fun, something new and different everyday. Today I thought it would be fun to talk to you and thankfully I was right." She took this in for a moment as she eyed me up and down.
"Wow, sounds like you're living the dream huh." She said sounding a little sad.
"Did I say something wrong?" Did I blow it. Oh god I fucked it up so bad didn't I?
"Nah, nothing like that." Oh thank you magic bitchy love fairy. "You just gave me some things to think about." She smiled at me warmly and sincerely.
It. Felt. Amazing.
Suddenly a beeping filled the air and she whipped out her phone. "Shit, my time is up gotta run to get class started on time." Damn and things were going so well too. "Hey, let me get your number." She said and it took me a second to realize what was happening and act. One quick number exchange later and we were set.
"So are you free anytime this week? I'd love to chat more if you have the time." I asked only to be met with a sigh.
"Midterms are this week so things are a little crazy for me, this weekend though I got plenty of time." She said with a smile.
"It's a date then! we'll work out the details later." This is the best day ever.
"Sounds good, hopefully I'll see you later?" She said before running off towards campus.
I watched her leave before leaning back on the bench and letting out a hearty laugh. I felt amazing, for the first time in my a long time I felt really, really, amazing. I relished the moment, the feeling, the quiet. Perfection.
"No! Way!... You did it!" And then Kyu, cut in. "Well, with my help of course. I gotta admit I did not expect you to pull that off." She can say what she likes but nothing was gonna bring down how I was feeling right now.
"I think I did pretty damn well myself" I said a cocky grin plastered across my face.
"Beginner's luck. Don't let it go to your head." Fair. But I won this one. "By the way, that other chick that was here just a second ago? Since she was in range, the HunieBee started tracking her location too." Creepy, once again, rather creepy but it was practical I have to admit.
"So now that you're done here with this girl, you can go catch up with her too. Just bust out the HunieBee and check the girl finder screen." Not the most romantic way to put things. She was a love fairy right? "I'm pumped! You pumped?" She really was as her voice got considerably louder. The odd thing was I was really pumped.I felt good, confident, better than I had in years. I jumped to my feet and opened up the HunnieBee with a wicked smile across my lips. "Yeah, you're pumped! Go get em!" I hit the button and watched as a sparkling white door opened up in front of me. "I'll be around if you need me! What am I saying? Of course you need me." Kyu quipped before flying through the shining gateway. I quickly followed for better or worse I was gonna go meet another girl today.
