Broken Brakes 7

What a coincidence that Ray's memory was in another Ray's body ! It shouldn't have happened, though. Maybe Dr. Zeus didn't do a good job after all! Subjects shouldn't be confused about what they were, or about what their memory was. But nobody has been able to fix that, for sure! Thought Laila, while finishing packing her things.

A long journey ahead of her. Five hours drive . To her husband.

She hopes!...

It will be weird to perceive him in another body . An artificial one. Do the subjects know they aren't human ? She wonders... Anyway....

She closes the front door and hops in her car, a look of concern in her eyes.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Miss Ara Bella comes into the living room with a bunch of violet, blue and pink flowers in her arms. The smell is intoxicating! The natural perfume of the flowers mixed up with her exotic perfume; pheromones, musk and amber, is a lethal weapon ,she knows how to use quite well.

Ray, who was distracted in deep thoughts, his eyes fixed in some invisible point in front of him, startles up.

'Hi there ! You must be Ray. I'm Ara! Nice to meet you !' ... She says while arranging the flowers in the porcelain pots on the mantelpiece.

'Nice to meet you too, Ara ! Ray straightens up and bows his head, looking admiringly at Ara's body.He then turns around looking for something he could comment on. Something to say...

'What a lovely place !'

'Indeed !' Ara sighs, finishing the flower arrangement.

'How long have you been here?' Ray feels like a foolish schoolboy, but what the Hell ! He sighs...

'Oh ! Can't remember ! It seems I've been here forever ! Ha ha !... I'm studying Botanics. What about you ?'

'They haven't told me yet. I hope it's Astronomy. But who knows !'

'Well ! You should know !...That's weird ! How come you don't know why you're here ?'

'Oh? I thought it was the usual procedure. Coming first, knowing afterwards. You know !'

'Usual procedure? Haven't heard of it before! Hmm... Maybe you're a brainwashed spy ! Ha ha !!'

Ray moves on his chair ,uncomfortably. What's happening ? Is it so strange not to know why one was in some place or other ? He always went on living without thinking much. He has been doing so for ages , so far. That's what life is about. Isn't it ? He tries to smile

'Well ! Maybe ! ...He he !'

Ara takes off her shoes, and sits on the grand white leather sofa. She has pink, soft, small toes, with purple toenails. She begins to caress them lovingly, as if they where someone else's .A lover's. Her long fingers slide all over the velvet skin, probing, stimulating.

Ray can't take his eyes from those hands and those toes.What a beautiful spotless skin!

Ara simply remains silent, stroking her feet in total abandonment.

Ray feels as if he's an improper intruder. Almost a voyeur. He blushes and looks out of the window ,trying to conceal his arousal. At last he stands up and walks to the door.

'Wait!'

Ara stops caressing her feet and looks at Ray provokingly.

'Are you leaving so soon? Are you leaving me alone ?'

She pouts her full lip mouth , and lifts her arms over her head, letting Ray see her full round breasts under the light blue linen top.

'Sorry! I... I..Eh..I thought you wanted to be alone.'

'Why would I want that ? Tut, tut tut !!'... She smiles at him, waving her hair lustfully. The scented, exotic ,alluring perfume, coming in waves to Ray's excited nostrils, making him tremble; anticipating some mysterious and intriguing outcome.
