“Why's that? You can turn gay women straight and straight men gay if you want to. Are they not good enough for you?" Allison asked him, a glimmer of irritation in those vibrant blue eyes of hers.
“It's who they are. I'm not going to change that. Plus those two genuinely love each other. I can feel the...the heat of that feeling even through all that's bothering them right now. It wouldn't be right to take that away. That's not even mentioning that they're bloody jailbait." He said, scratching his chin and thinking about what to do.
“Can I do more besides read minds?" Turning his head to look at her inquisitively he found her expression had softened.
“Sorry of course, I thought you meant that you didn't like them."
Allison admitted. Then she reached out with the hand that wasn't stroking his member and tapped his brow with her index finger. "You can do plenty more besides read minds sweetie. You'll have to learn what you can do on your own though.”
“So you can't read my mind then?" Jamie asked, curious.
“Nope, I'm afraid not. Despite my interest in all those delightfully dirty things I can see you're considering doing to me behind those thoughtful eyes of yours. After frazzling you when you let me out of my vial I put a Lot of my spirit into you. I guess I put enough of it into you to let your mind keep gods and goddesses out of its business.”
"Oh. I see." Said Jamie, not really seeing at all but thinking it best to nod along and get on with the task at hand.
He closed his eyes and concentrated very hard, scouring the city with his new psychic ability. As thousands of thoughts poured into his head at once from the surrounding populous he let out a yelp of discomfort and pushed them back immediately. Ok apparently that wasn't the way to go about this. Trying a new approach he flitted through the girls minds again before hopping through one or two people at a time. Seeing the city through the eyes of others was a strange experience to be sure but the girls weren't far from home. It took him about ten minutes to find their parents, tracing them by following the girls routes to the hotel.
"\..can't believe she's gone! Oh lord this isn't right..."
"...shouldn't have said that to her. What will the family think of me..." "...came as such as a surprise, didn't know how to deal with it..." "...can't phone her, not after what I said..." "...such a disgrace on our family to find that she..."
Jamie immediately saw what the parent's problem was. They had been raised in a largely fundamentalist Christian family where homosexuality was definitely not tolerated in any form. Of course they still loved their daughters. Jamie could see it even if they couldn't. So he tried to will the ideas in their head of reconciliation to the front of their thought patterns and dumb down the idiotic beliefs that had split up their families. Much to his surprise it worked Like a charm. It seemed their minds, or at least their subconscious, wanted their children to come home very much indeed.
Jamie opened his eyes to find Allison was kissing him. He'd been so entrenched in what he was doing he hadn't noticed that delicious soft mouth touching his lips. Still Allison was not a woman who you could ignore for Long. When he felt her tongue lick slowly along his lips he closed his eyes and lost himself in her presence. Dropping his hands from where they were rubbing his temples he found she'd crawled onto his lap to kiss him. His hands touched her shoulders and slowly explored the gentle curve of her smooth hourglass figure. Thumbs daring to touch the softness of her breasts as his hands slid down along her sides. Yet before he could get those hands under her skirt she broke the kiss and reached around to catch his wrists. Her breathing was heavy and she closed her eyes for a long moment to regain her composure. It seemed no one in the bar had noticed the lusty display between them. Finally she Looked down at him and gave a warm smile, her eyes twinkling and her lips swollen from the intensity of their kiss.
“Sorry sweetheart. It's just that you're a man after my own heart." She said, leaning to one side so he could see over her shoulder.
Both girls were talking on their cellphones. Clearly they hadn't gotten so desperate as to sell those just yet. It was a happy chance that they hadn't thought of selling them though since there was now a great deal of tearful reconciliation going on between the girls and their families. Jamie overheard them tell their parents where they were for them to come pick them up. They both hugged each other when they were finished and hurried to wait outside for them to arrive.
“See? ALL it takes is a good knack for showing people what's important to them. Nothing's really more important than love you see. Most people know that in their hearts but their heads seem to need to make up rules for why it's important not to feel or admit love." Allison explained to him.
“Now for your next assignment cast your eyes over to the bar." She instructed. Jamie however had let his gaze fall to look down into her cleavage and was having problems tearing his eyes away.
“Hey! There'll be plenty of time for checking those out later. I promise. Pay attention, there's boobs over there too."
At the promise of boobs he turned his head to follow her gaze to the bar. Sitting there in a grey suit was a woman who was clearly trying very hard not to cry. Seeming of English and Hispanic descent with her dark auburn hair and alluring countenance. Despite the rather mournful expression she was wearing it was easy to see that she was quite beautiful. Emerald green eyes glistened with tears behind stylish spectacles and her delicately curved mouth quivered in a way that made a man want to hold her until everything was alright again.
The dark suit covered much of her body from his eyes but he could see she had a good figure. Her skirt covered her legs down to her knees at which point dark stockings took over the job. Black high heeled shoes had been discarded by the base of her bar stool that he thought were a little too sexy for working in. Of course with the rest of the business attire they seemed just fine. Jamie noticed to his disappointment that boobs were definitely not on display.
