With the movie done I decided it was time to switch it up a bit.
"So... what do you want to do?"
She shrugged.
"I don't know, do you have any more movies like those?"
"Uh... I have Lord of the Rings. You think you'd like them?"
She shot me an exasperated look. Oh yeah, she didn't know anything about it.
"I'll go get them."
As I walked back to my room I rubbed my sore ribs. It felt like something had bruised them slightly, but I couldn't tell what. With movies in hand I opened the door to Tassali's quarters. Inside Tassali was clutching a pillow to herself and breathed deeply.
"You okay?"
She started before hissing.
"My... headache has gotten worse."
"Need some pills or water? You have to stay hydrated when you're sick."
"No. Well, I'll take some water."
I nodded and made the trip to get two cups of water. I set them down and was about to start the movie when my phone rang. I looked at the display and groaned.
"Crap, I knew I was forgetting something."
"What?"
I held up my phone. The word "Mom" clearly displayed.
"I need to take this. Do you mind if I--"
"Fine. But hurry."
"Thanks."
I stood up and walked to the bathroom. As soon as the door closed Tassali picked the pillow back up and sniffed it before sighing.
It smells so good. Like his hair.
She took another whiff before hissing to herself.
Just because I like how he smells doesn't mean I don't hate him! I like how pure cinnamon smells but wouldn't eat it by itself!
Meanwhile, as soon as I accepted call I heard,
"TIMMY! WHY DIDN'T CALL ME! YOU PROMISED TO CALL EVERY WEEK AND--"
The lecture went on and on and on until I finally said,
"Mom! I was busy with work. I got a promotion and I--"
"You got a promotion! Oh how wonderful! I'm so happy for you! Do you like it? How's the pay? Is your boss mean."
"Yes. Good. Still trying to figure out the last one."
"Well I'm glad you're happy. So... meet any nice girls?"
"MOM!"
"What! I want grandkids while I'm still young enough to enjoy them! And your brother isn't getting married anytime soon."
"How is James?"
"Oh, he's right here. I'll let you talk to him."
I heard faint talking and soon my brother's voice said,
"Hey! Little Timmy!"
"I hate that name."
"How's it going?"
"Fine."
"Cool. Any hot girls at work?"
"Only girl here is my boss."
"She young or old."
"Uh... young?"
"Ooh... she hot?"
"What!?"
"Cmon! Is she hot!"
"I don't know."
"How can you not know? It's pretty easy to figure out."
"It's... complicated."
"Well do you like how she looks?"
"Uh..."
I thought about it. Well... Tassali had a certain... attractiveness to her. Despite not being human. Her scales were a nice color and she had a great figure... I think. Oh heck. Am I getting the hots for a snake lady?
"I'm waiting."
"I think so."
"Oh, you sly dog you. So... you two had any 'business meetings' yet?"
"And this is why I don't talk to you."
"Calm down. I was joking. It's my job as your older brother to mess with you."
"Yippee. And can you think about something other then what's in your pants?"
"Maaaaybe. Anyway, Mom's getting tired of waiting. Bye!"
"Bye."
And then Mom was back. Basically a lot of "okay"s for a while until she finally stopped and I could get back to my boss. I walked into the room and saw Tassali had fallen asleep waiting. I sat down and looked at her. I might as well let her sleep. She needs rest after all.
She rolled over and her arm landed across my lap. Immediately she grabbed me and pulled me closer. After a brief struggle I was subdued with a full body wrap and her holding me around the middle. Great. She is so going to kick my ass when she wakes up. She adjusted a bit until my head was resting on her scaled belly and she was gently stroking my hair.
This is so embarrassing... and... kinda comfy. There was something about being all wrapped up that was like a full body hug crossed with a massage. Occasionally, her tail would squeeze gently before relaxing again. Must be some sort of subconscious thing, like grabbing me to get warm. So not looking forward to when she wakes up. How could this get any worse! She's going to beat me within an inch of my--
Shift again and now my face was back in her... in the original position from the first time she used me to get warm. Great, I jinxed it. Also... screw you James. You made me realize how sexy she was! I mean. It didn't take a rocket scientist to deduce that, but I'd just not put a lot of thought into it before. I mean, apart from the obvious, she also had some... appealing qualities. Not trying to sound like I'm objectifying my snake boss, but she had some wicked curves on her hips and-- why am I thinking about this?
Squeeze. Murmur. Snuggles me a bit closer. Oh yeah. That's why. Although given our respective heights it makes sense that I'd be in this position again. It does appear to be the position where she can most effectively coil around me. The end of her tail shifted and lazily wrapped around my neck. This was not going to end well.

Wow, I need to get my butt in gear and write these faster. Sorry about the wait and sorry about this: I'm going to be going out of town in a little less than a week, so I probably won't be able to upload for two weeks. Yeah, it sucks. No wifi or reception where I'm going. Hope you're enjoying the story and yes... this was supposed to be a bit fan service-y. I just thought it would be funny. Anywho... Ciao!
