The Perfect Couple

Episode 12

I looked beside me but couldn’t
find her anymore. “Jenny!”I
called her name but the sound
coming from me was different.
“Am I possessing her body
right now?”I said touching my
face. The temperature felt
warm just as a human body. I
placed my hand on my chest to
feel the heartbeat. To my
surprise, it was beating. I
quickly ran to a car packed by
the side. I looked at myself in
the mirror, I could see Jenny’s
face in the mirror. “Wow. It
works. It really works.”I said
smiling. A man was passing by,
I moved to his side smiling”can
you see me?”I asked him. He
looked at me In confusion
“what’s this crazy girl talking
about?”he said and went his
way.
I was so happy I could be seen
by people but I was sad all was
fake. Am possessing another
person body.
I felt something vibrating
inside her pocket. I dipped my
hand inside and brought out
her phone. “Sweet mum”it was
written on the screen. I was
staring at it not knowing what
to do. I was thinking if I could
pick it or not. But when I
thought of how she talked her
mum, I think she was worried
about her. I answered it and
placed it to my ear. “Jenny.

Why are you not home
yet?”she asked sounding
worried. I don’t know how to
reply her. What, should I say to
her?

“A…am…on my… W..way
home”I said in a stammer
voice. “OK dear. Don’t be late
OK?”she said and ended the
call. I brought down the phone
and put it back into her pocket.

“How should I get out of her?”I
thought to myself. I tried going
out but it doesn’t seem easy to
do like the first first time. I
tried and tried but to no avail.

“What should I do now? I think
your mum is worried”I said
feeling bad. I unlocked her
phone to check if I could find
her address. Luckily for me, I
was able to find it on her
Facebook timeline. I followed
the address there until I was
able to get to her street. I don’t
know which way to go again
so I started walking slowly. I
accidentally bumped into
someone. “Am sorry”I said
looking at the girl. “Oh Jenny.

Where are you heading to this
late?”she asked looking at me.
I had no idea of who she is. I
think she might be one of her
friend. I was staring at her for a
while like a deaf and dumb.

“Oh am heading home”I
replied smiling. “Really? So you
mean that’s the way
home?”she asked looking at
me.

“Oh it’s not this way”I said
looking at her. She was staring
at me awkwardly. “That’s your
building over there. Why are
you acting wield?”she asked
looking at me. I started
laughing on hearing that. “Am I
really acting wield? I think I
drank too much that’s why”I
said laughing. “Oh it seems
so”she said looking at me. I
quickly walked towards the
gate she pointed to and
opened it. I walked towards
the building looking around
the compound. It looks like an
average class home. Not too
rich and not poor. I walked to
the door and pressed the bell
on it. “Welcome home dear”a
woman’s voice said. She
opened the door smiling. She’s
so pretty just like Jenny. She
has a short blond hair and was
putting on a red fitted gown. I
entered and she closed the
door behind us. I walked down
the passage while she followed
behind, few seconds later, I
was in the living room. “How
was practice today?”she asked
smiling. “It was good ma”I
replied looking at her.

“Ma?”she repeated looking at
me. “I mean mum”I corrected
myself. “OK that’s good. Go and
take a warm shower before
having your dinner. Since you
prefer doing that”she said. I
stood up not knowing which
way to go. “Where could her
room be?”I thought to myself
looking around. “Let me check
something”

She left the living room
heading somewhere. I quickly
went to one of the room and
opened the door. I looked
inside and saw how it was set.

One could tell it’s her room.
Because it was decorated in
pink and purple and some
celebrity poster on the wall. I
entered and walked around in
her room. I think she might
caught on later. How should I
keep this on?
