n’ t remember this ! ” Panic rose in her voice, and her eyes once again filled with tears.
“ Today is Friday, October 13th. I t’ s about eleven at night . ”
“ Okay ,” she whispered, her voice so lost and small I almost could n’ t hear her. “ Thank you . ”
“ Yo u’ re welcome. Feel free to ask me anything at all. I’ ll be here to help, and ther e’ re some other people in the clubhouse that you can talk to, also. It can be a little chaotic around here, but for the most part, everyone is harmless . ” I saw the fear in her eyes, and I reminded myself to have a talk with everyone else as soon as possible. “ Listen, do n’ t worry. W e’ ll figure this out ,” I said, reassuringly. I had no idea how, but there had to be something we could do. “ Everythin g’ s going to be okay, I promise . ”
She smiled for the first time, and my breath caught in my throat as I realized just how beautiful she really was.
“ Thank you for saying that ,” she said, sighing.
“ Yo u’ re welcome. Can I get you anything right now? Do you need anything? Those clothes yo u’ re wearing belong to one of the club ladies here, well, the t-shirt is mine, actually . ” She looked under the sheet at the sweats and t-shirt she was wearing. I realized what she might be thinking. “ The girls changed you, helped make you more comfortable . ”
Relief flooded her eyes, and she nodded slightly.
“ What was I wearing ?” she asked.
Visions of what she might look like naked filled my head, and for the first time since I had picked her up, I felt my cock swell slightly in my pants. What the hell was wrong with me? I snapped out of it.
“ What? Wearing ? ”
“ Yeah, when you found me . ”
“ Oh, yeah, that. Well, you were barefoot, but I found some heels that probably belong to you. And you had on a very short, tight denim skirt. And a tight, black tank top . ”
She wrinkled her nose, and all I could think about was how adorable she was. And how, if the circumstances were different, and she was lying in my bed, under my sheets, I would n’ t be sitting here beside her fully clothed.
“ I see. Tha t’ s so weird . ” Her voice fell away and her eyes filled with confusion.
“ U m… I u m … ” she turned to me again shyly, and then took a deep breath. “ I really need to use a bathroom . ”
“ Oh! Right ! ” I jumped up. “ Of course, god, I bet you do . ” I stared blankly at the IV tube coming out of her hand. “ Okay, shi t… u m… well, let me go get Doc again, okay ? ”
“ Jus t… u m… you know, stay here. Do n’ t go anywhere . ” I said, and I ran out the door to find Doc.

“ Do n’ t go anywhere ,” he said.
I looked down at my body, my legs covered in sweat pants that were a little too tight for my curvy hips, and a t-shirt that was entirely too big. The IV in my hand practically tied me to the bed, and he was telling me not to go anywhere?
Where would I go? Where in all of the world would I go?
Was this really happening to me? Maybe I was dreaming. I remembered nothing before I woke up. The only thing I could recall was vague, streaky images of light and muffled music. Everything before that just did n’ t exist.
How in the hell could this be possible?
I looked down at my hands. They were familiar. My body was familiar. But when I tried to remember how old I was, or what my name was, I came up empty.
Doc came in and went straight to removing the IV from my arm.
“ I do n’ t think yo u’ ll be needing this anymore ,” he said. He was like a big, jolly bear. I decided that I liked him immensely.
“ Oka y… um, thank yo u… Doc ,” I said to him, my voice full of gratitude.
“ Sure, honey, you bet. Okay, now le t’ s
