Getting a bit adjusted

Unending BE - episode 28153

After a while all three of us are sitting around in the living room, sipping coffee which Jim has brewed for us. Hubert seems calmed down, happy, and her hands still run over what was my body. She can't quite believe what she's become. I feel it's safe to speak, "Liz or Hubert, this is one hell of a big adjustment. Just to maintain a bit of my identity, when just the three of us are together, please let me call you 'Hubert' and you call me 'Liz'. It helps." "O.K., no problem. I understand," she answers. "I'm sorry I was rough a while ago. Got to learn to change my behavior to fit this new identity. You do, or did, have a magnificant body. I love possessing it...even just for a month." "I wish I could say the same, Hubert, but your body is not easy to be in. How much do I weigh now?" "I understand. That's why I wanted out of it for a while. I weigh about 275 pounds." "What size clothes do I wear now?" "Gosh, Liz, I don't really know. All my things are custom-made I never bother with sizes." "Have you tried to lose weight? I'd make you much healthier." "I've never bothered....been this way for years now. Guess I should eat less, exercise, do something. Just never do." "Hey, Hubert maybe I can lose some weight for you this month."

It's noon and I'm extremely hungry. I suggest we send out for some pizza, including a whole one for myself. Jim frowns, but orders. Also, I feel a yearning for tobacco...never smoked before. Whe I mention that, Hubert get up and goes to her (my) jacket, and pulls some cigars out of a pocket. "I'm pretty addicted to these. You may want to take a few puffs to feel better." Jim has no objections, and she shows me how to prepare this thing and smoke it. It hurts to see my beautiful body with that big stogie in my mouth, starting the cigar for me. She coughs, because the body isn't used to it, and she quickly hands it to me. I take a deep drag and it feels very good. and I can relax again. Take a few more hits, and then put the thing down in the ashtray,

As we talk, Hubert is amazed when I tell her that I'm finishing my MBA degree at the university. She asks me a bit how much I know about finance and management, then suggests that I take a good look at her huge conglomerate. She suspects she's being ripped off. After all, it will be mine now. I love that idea, never having dealt with a real-life company before.
