Saturday Matinee - Love, Honor and Obey

"Honey....how about you go and get me a beer?"
His mind screamed "NO" but he answered in a soft female voice....
"Yes Dear....right away Dear!"

It had been his idea.....
She had been such a sweet accommodating girl when they were dating....she simply couldn't do enough for him. Whatever he wanted she provided....well not really "whatever"....there were some things that she refused to give him.
She was a good girl and she explained that there were some things that good girls just wouldn't do.....but she made up for it with a few things that were apparently OK for good girls to do....and he was usually satisfied when he got home after dropping her off!
It was inevitable that they got married.....

Somehow the sweet girl he'd dated had turned into a bossy bitch as soon as the ring was slipped on her finger....
Worst of all she still refused to give him her all.....and the nice things she used to do to make him happy didn't happen anymore either!
She made so many demands of him that he was almost always exhausted.....he worked all day and then came home and did the housework too!!!!
It was easier than listening to her screaming.....he considered divorce....but he still loved the girl she'd been back then.....if only there was a way to get that girl back....

He really hadn't been looking for help like this but the help came to him one day....
The old woman was begging on the street and he'd stopped to give her the few coins he'd had in his pocket.....he looked at her with sorrow....imagine how this woman had to live....begging in the street.....he reached into his billfold and peeled off a ten dollar bill....then though twice and added another ten and put them in her cup.....he smiled at her and turned to walk away....
"You're very generous.....perhaps there's some way I can repay you kind Sir!"
"No.....I'm sure there's nothing you can do for me....."
"Wouldn't you like to have a wife that loved you.....honored you.....obeyed you.....I can give you that...."
He turned, intrigued by what she'd said......how could she know....
As if reading his thoughts.....she smiled up at him.....
"There's much that I know....come with me and we'll see if we can solve your problem!"
She rose and pocketed her money. She walked down the dark alley and although he thought he must be crazy for doing this....he followed her.
She stepped down the stairs to the basement door and producing a very old fashioned skeleton key, unlocked the door and beckoned  him to follow!
It was dark and smelled of a thousand different scents.....
She walked to a bookshelf and pulled down a dusty volume and flipped it open.....
She crooked a finger at him to come and see....
"This is a book of magical spells.....they're very powerful and must be used very carefully......but I think this one will  serve your needs very nicely..."
She pointed to the open page and he  read the title....
"To make a happy obedient wyfe that will serve for all her lyfe!"
"For twenty more dollars I'll sell you this book.....I'm sure it will solve your problems!!!"
He thought it over and finally gave her the twenty dollars and tucked the book under his arm.....even if the idea was crazy it was worth a try....
"Remember it's very powerful magic.....you must follow the directions precisely....if you'd like I can work the spell for you for another fifty dollars...."
He smiled and shook his head....he'd given her too much money already!

It was bad when he arrived home....
She'd harangued him about being late.....she was hungry and she wanted him to prepare dinner.....she found the money missing from his wallet and gave him hell for losing it...
Through it all his mind kept turning to the book of spells.....if only it would work

Later when she fell asleep he slipped away to the basement with the book and read through the spell.....it seemed pretty straightforward.....there were a few spices that he had to add to a bowl of water as he repeated an incantation....he was pretty sure they had everything he needed in their spice rack....
He gathered them up and realized they they didn't have one of the ingredients.....checking the spell he saw that the amount of that particular spice was minuscule....and decided to proceed without it....
He followed the spell and repeated the incantations and he felt the magical power building around him and with a sudden burst it washed over him and he passed out!!!

He woke in the bed.....and he heard a male voice shouting.....he jumped out of bed almost tripping on his nightgown.....then stunned he looked at himself and he was her.....and from the sounds coming up the stairs she was him.....

He'd shown her the spell book and told her the story.....at first she'd been angry but she seemed to get comfortable far quicker than he did....
The spell had worked so well.....as far as she was concerned.....he was the perfect obedient wife and he catered to all of her whims.....and some of her whims surprised him very much!!!
The things she had made him do.....it was almost too much to bear.....
She had taken the book "to study it" and look for a way to reverse the spell.....and he knelt by her side like the perfect obedient wife.....and that was what he was now...an obedient wife....
"Have you found anything yet Dear? A way back for us?"
"No....nothing yet.....but enough study for now.....why don't you go up to the bedroom and wait for me.....I read about something today that I want to try....bring some margarine or olive oil.....something slippery....."
OH MY GOD NO....."Yes Dear...whatever you want Dear!"
