It’s day two of a man with a reality ring. The ring is on his right ring finger. To activate it, he must touch it with one of his thumbs.  

1st Person Perspective - Jackson  

My heart was racing when I sat down at the small table in the corner of the restaurant. It was 2:30pm on a Wednesday and here I was taking a sick day to go to the local breast-urant Missiles. Well, that’s not the only reason I had taken a sick day. Yesterday when I arrived home from work yesterday, I found a small envelope tucked between the door to my apartment and the storm door. I couldn’t remember ordering anything, but my name was on the envelope so I didn’t think much of it, tossed it on the counter with the rest of my mail, and headed to meet my buddy Adam at the gym. It wasn’t until the next morning after my morning jog with Adam that I finally opened the small envelope. Inside I found an unassuming plain black ring... Well it seemed it seemed unassuming, but Adam and I quickly found out the ring wasn’t so plain or unassuming.   

It turns out that the ring could alter reality, which we unfortunately found out the hard way... Yeah about that... So Adam, or Elsi as she refers to herself now, is currently back at my apartment cleaning. He... I mean she, thinks that she is my maid. She also looks like a maid... Well a very sexy maid... What I’m trying to say is that I accidently turned my best friend into a outlandishly sexy maid, and I’m not sure how to turn him back without causing more chaos... Which is why I’m at Missiles. Rather than continuing to experiment on Adam I figured I would stop by Missiles and use one of the waitresses as a Guinea pig. Which sounds awful I know, but its better than making Adam’s situation worse... Look, you try to make sound judgements when you’re randomly gifted godlike powers and your best friend, who’s now apparently a Finnish woman, is sauntering around your apartment cleaning and trying to seduce you... Shesh. 

Your Missiles girl will be with your shortly.” The hostess winked at me and walked back to her podium near the restaurant entrance.  

My eyes lingered on her plump butt as she walked across the restaurant. “She’s pretty cute...” I thought as I glanced around to take stock of Missiles. Aside from me, there were two other occupied tables. One table was occupied by a couple of men who I figured were in their late 60s. They had clearly been there since lunch, and they were currently hamming it up with their petite Asian waitress. I figured they must be regulars, because she was still working them pretty hard. “They probably tip well...” I thought as my attention then drifted over to the table occupied by a couple of guys in their early 20s. Their dirty work uniforms looked like they belonged to the car dealership just down the road. “They must work at Jenkins. I bet they’re on break.” Just like the pair of dirty old men on the other side of the restaurant, they too were hamming it up with their waitress who was leaning against their table toying with her long blonde hair. They way she was perched against the table gave me a great view of her long legs and round butt. It also gave me a good view of her rather lacking chest. “This must be the non-busty B-team of waitresses...” My eyes drifted back to the petite Asian waitress and then down to the ring on my finger. 

When I had opened the envelope this morning and the black ring fell out onto the counter it wasn’t the only thing that had fallen out of the envelope. A small piece of paper containing very vague set of  instructions had also fallen onto the counter. The instructions written on the card were quite simple and somewhat vague.  

  1. Place the ring on your ring finger. 

  1. Touch the ring with either thumb to activate. 

  1. Speak only the truth. 

  1. Remove thumb from ring to deactivate. 

With such vague instructions for such a powerful item it was no wonder Adam and I got into trouble as soon as I slid the ring on my finger. 

So which waitress is going to be my Guinea pig?” I wondered as my eyes lingered on the kitchen area. The way it was set up, I knew there were at least two more waitress back there, but sadly I couldn’t see anything more than the tops of their heads. “I guess it will be the leggy blonde... Or one of the two blondes in the back... Unless the Asian girl serves me, but that’s probably not going to happen...” I looked back over at the dirty ole men. The petite server was standing next to the table pointing towards her thigh tattoo. I couldn’t make out what they were saying, but it was obvious that she was trying to showcase her cute little butt that was hanging out of her cheeky booty shorts.  

------------------------------ 

Nothing so far. 

------------------------------ 

 

Distracted by the table of dirty ole men, I hadn’t noticed my waitress approaching my table. “Welcome to Missiles! I’m Lexii!!!” A valley girl sounding voice announced. 

 

Being caught of guard, and a bit on edge, I jumped slightly and locked eyes with my server. “Fuck me...” My inner monologue groaned as I took in the sight that was my server. “You’ve got to be joking...” I thought as my eyes studied her overly made up 3/10 face. Beneath the makeup caked on her face was a very homely looking young woman who had lips so full of filler it made me want to wince. "Hi...” I said as my eyes wandered up to her bleached blonde hair that had pink highlights running through it. Still in a state of awe, my eyes drifted back down to her face and I starred silently into her empty eyes.  

 

Hi...” She paused for a moment and we both sat there in awkward silence. “Um... Like anyways, welcome to Missiles. I’ll be your Missiles’ girl today. Bombs away!” She aggressively winked at me. “Why don’t you take a look at our menu and I’ll be right back to go over it with you sweety.” She leaned over the table and slid the menu towards me. I knew she was trying to get me to look at her very fake large breasts that were attempting to pop out of her low cut top, but I was so thrown off by her whole aesthetic that all I could do was stair down at the menu in shock.  It wasn’t until I heard her shuffle away that I was able to gather my wits, and look up at her as she sashayed away from the table to get me a drink.  

 

What in the hell...” I couldn’t believe that out of all the waitresses there, that was the one that I got. “I mean she’s got a freaking muffin top...” I watched her belly and love handles jiggle as she poured me a glass of water. “Come on... The other waitresses might not be stacked, but at least they’re all decent looking... But this chick...” I just sat there in stunned silence as I tried to wrap my head around this girl’s look. “She doesn’t have a cute face... Her body is shaped like a fleshy bag of potatoes stuffed into a tiny tank top and booty shorts... Her breasts and ass are large and extremely fake... Her tattoos... Her tattoos look like a 4th grader drew them... What is she going for with this look? Candy coated Barbie bimbo?.. Of all the waitresses, this is the one I get...” Still flabbergasted by my waitress I shook my head and looked down at my menu. 

------------------------------ 

Nothing so far. 

------------------------------ 

 

Maybe I could use the ring to get a different waitress.” I thought as I studied the drink menu. “That’s probably the simplest solution. I mean any one of these girls would be better than Lexii.” I looked up when I heard footsteps approaching the table. “Too late...” I watched as Lexii strutted back to my table with a glass of water in hand. Her heavy footsteps highlighted the dichotomy between her soft jiggly body and her rock hard breasts. “Wow....” 

 

Soooooo!!!” Lexii sat the glass of water on the table and grabbed the chair opposite of me. “How about I go through the menu with you!” She spun the chair around backwards and sat down on it making sure to rest her fake breasts on the back of the chair. I starred blankly at the valley of plastic cleavage while she grabbed the menu and began to blather on about each of the dishes.  

 

That might be the worst boob job I’ve ever seen...” I thought as I only half paid attention to the words coming out of her mouth. Her high pitched voice and valley girl dialect were already beginning to irritate me, so I rather than pay attention to her I decided I should come up with a plan. “O yeah... That does sound good...” I mumbled as I feigned interest in Lexii’s suggestions. “I could still use the ring to get rid of her, but what if I actually erased her from existence...” When I had decided to go to Missiles I didn’t really have much of a plan as to how I was going to test the ring. I just knew that I needed to get out of the apartment and that I didn’t want to screw Adam up any more than I already had. Now as I sat there listening to Lexii babble I was kind of at a loss as to what to do. “I guess I could just order her around... Or maybe I can make her less... less annoying... Or hell, maybe I can actually fix her...” 

 

------------------------------ 

Nothing so far. 

------------------------------ 

 

My god her perfume is terrible.” I thought as Lexii continued to incessantly babble about each item on the menu. “I’ve got to use the ring... This smell is just too much to take. It’s going to give me a damn headache if I don’t do something about it.” When Lexii first dropped off my the menu I had noticed her perfume, but I didn’t realize how overbearingly bad it was until she sat down at the table with me. The longer she had sat there, the stronger it seemed to get. At this point it felt like I was going to drown in the synthetic fruity aroma that emanated from her body. 

Okay! So I know this is like super surprising, but! We do have totally yummy salads here.” Lexii said as she stared at the menu. 

Wait Lexii.” I interrupted her. “Before you continue can I ask you a question?” 

She looked up from the menu. “Totes!” She said smiling at me.  

For a moment I got lost in the utter emptiness in her eyes, but I quickly focused back on the task at hand. “I wanted to ask you what perfume you are wearing?” 

Her face lit up with excitement. “O MY GOD! You love it don’t you! It’s something special that I made myself!” She waved her hands wafting more of the unnatural aroma towards me. “Like what I did, was take 5 perfumes and mixed them together. It’s like my own super perfume!” She took a big whiff of air. “I think I could sell it and makes lot of monies. Guys ask me about it all the time!” She smiled and winked at me. 

Fucking hell...” I groaned inside my head. My thumb reached over and touched the ring to confirm it was still on my ring finger. “Perfect.” I briefly lifted my thumb off the ring. “Lexii I’ve got to say that perfume is something.” I pressed my thumb tight to the ring. “The fragrance of the perfume is so light and delightful. It’s not overbearing at all.” I paused for a moment and acted like I was taking a big whiff of the air. “The scent smells like homemade vanilla ice cream.” I removed my thumb from the ring. “It’s a very classy scent for a classy young lady such as yourself.”  

O my god thanks!” Her full face once again lit up in vapid excitement. “I bought it off the internet. Vanilla always smells so yummy, and since I work in a restaurant I wanted to smell yummy too.” She winked at me again. “Customers like when I smell yummy!”  She awkwardly giggled at herself. 

My internal monologue let out a loud groan. “Fixing this hot mess is going to take some work.” I thought as she returned to rambling on about the salads. “But at least she smells better...”

I guess I’ll have the grilled chicken salad and I’ll have a coffee with it.” I said sliding the menu over to Lexii.  

Lexii scribbled my order down and sheepishly looked up at me. “I’ll get that right in and I’ll be right back!” She giggled and strutted across the restaurant to put my order.  

Okay, so the ring still works.” I closed my eyes and rubbed my temple. “And it works just like it did this morning... Except this time I knew how powerful it was and I wasn’t being a smartass..” I briefly pictured Adam in his current form. “If I would have just kept my mouth shut then Adam wouldn’t be stuck like this...” I let out a sigh as the events from this morning replayed in my head. “Why did he have to spill that damn protein powder?” I leaned back in my chair and opened my eyes. “I guess I did say he would keep cleaning until the apartment is spotless and I approve his work... and I know I said he might as well look, act, and sound like a sexy young European camgirl while he’s cleaning.” I stared blankly into the restaurant as I tired to remember my exact words. “I definitely added something about him wanting to fuck me too... But how the hell did I word that part?” I caught sight of Lexii preparing to head my way. “Maybe I can just go back and tell him he’s done cleaning and he’ll turn back into Adam?” Lexii’s face lit up when she caught me staring at her. “Or maybe I can keep testing the ring on discount Barbie here.” I thought as Lexii began bouncing in my direction. “I just need to make sure not to be sarcastic and choose my words carefully.” 

 

All righty!” Lexii said sitting down in the chair to the right of me. “Now that I’ve got your order in, what brings you to Missiles today sweety?” 

 

I can’t fault her for trying to earn those tips.” I thought as I took a moment to compose my thoughts. “Nothing in particular.” I shrugged and glanced around the restaurant. “I just needed a late lunch and Missiles seemed like the perfect place to get it.” Lexii starred at me blankly and nodded while I paused to take a drink of my water. “I know restaurants like this have a bit of stigma to them, but I quite like them. The waitresses are always so friendly and engaging.”  

We are super duper friendly here!” Lexii interjected nodding her head in agreeance.  

Exactly!” I smirked at my Guinea pig. “Lexii may I ask you a question?” 

Sure!” Lexii smiled and began to bounce in her chair. 

How honest are the waitresses here? You know when they are chatting with their... clients?” I took another drink of my water. 

O we are like always so honest.” Her mouth hung open briefly as her brain seemed to be assembling the next sentence to come out of her mouth. “Lying to people is bad. So I like never lie. Never ever!” She pulled her arms tight to her body to create a valley of cleavage on her chest.  

That’s what I thought.” I smirked at her blatant attempt to distract me with her store bought titties. “So if I say...” My thumb touched the ring. “Lexii always tells me the truth and is incapable of lying to me.” I removed my thumb from the ring. “That’s an accurate statement?”  

Totes!” She said nodding her head.  

Of course it is. And I’m guessing.” My thumb made contact with the ring. “You like when I ask you questions and you’re happy to answer any question that I ask you.” Lexii continue to excitedly nod yes and I removed my thumb from the ring. “That’s good to know.” I grinned at my vapid test subject. “I think I’m really going to enjoy this lunch.”

------------------------------ 

 

Thank you for the coffee.” I said as Lexii sat my coffee down in front of me. “So where were we?” I ask as Lexii plopped back down at the table with me.  

Umm...” Lexii paused and starred blanky at me as she racked her brain. “I think I was telling you about this tattoo!” She pointed to the crudely tattooed unicorn her bicep. “So I got this one...” 

I quit paying attention to her semi-incoherent rambling, and focused in on my plan. “This is way too easy.” I thought taking a sip of my coffee.  “I can just ask her questions and then tweak her responses. All of her answers should be truthful, and she likes that I’m asking her questions... This is so simple it’s stupid.” I took another sip of coffee and focused back in on Lexii who was now rambling about her butterfly tattoo. “Speaking of simple...”  

O my god this one hurt so much.” She held up her wrist so I could see the poorly tattooed butterfly on the inside of her wrist. “Like that area is sensitive.” She nodded yes to herself before pointing to a panda tattooed on the top of her wrist. 

Lexii can I interrupt?” I asked cutting her off. She sheepishly looked up at me and nodded yes. “How many tattoos do you have?” 

69!” She proudly stated with a big shit eating grin on her face. 

Wow...” I took another sip of my coffee as my eyes looked up and down her arms that were littered with tattoos. “So are they just on your arms and legs?” 
 

No!” Lexii got up from her chair. “I’ve got one here... and here... and here...” Lexii began pointing to random spots on her torso that were covered by her uniform. “And when I save up enough money I’m going to get one here!” She ran her fingers across her silicone cleavage. “But I need to save a lot for that one. Tattoos cost money.”  

That they do...” I said taking another sip of coffee as I began to add up all of the work that she had had done. “So Lexii.... If money is tight, how did you pay for your other tattoos? And...” I paused for a moment trying to think of a polite way of asking what I was about to ask. “How did you pay for your.... Um enhancements?” I felt relieved when Lexii’s face again lit up with dim witted excitement.  

Inheritance!” She said smiling as she sat back down next to me. “My mommy and daddy left me a big inheritance!” 

O... I’m sorry for your loss...” I was a bit thrown by Lexii’s revelation.  

Awww sweety it’s okay.” She placed her hand on my forearm. “They died like 9 years ago and I’m fine now. I mean look at me.” She leaned back from the table and motioned towards her body. “I’m doing amazing!”  

For the first time since Lexii had shown up at the table I felt a bit of sympathy for the poor girl. “Yeah...” I said as her comments percolated through my brain. “So what. You said you need to save up for the new tattoo. Do you have any of the inheritance left?”  

No.” She said shaking her head. “It’s all gone. That’s why I’m working here.”  

So you spent all of your inheritance on... enhancements?” I asked. 

No not all of it...” She paused for a moment in thought. “I also bought a car, an apartment, and a lot of clothes.” She shook her head like she was disappointed with herself. “Then I invested the rest of it!” She proudly smiled at me.  

Wow.” I was shocked that she would do something so responsible. “So did you have a money manager invest it for you?” 

No I did it!” She was beaming with pride. “I invested some of it into these super cute panda NFTs thingys, and the rest of put into Yum Coin!” She leaned towards me with a big grin on her face. “They are going to the moon!!!”  

For fuck sake...” I yelled in my head. “She probably threw away hundreds of thousands of dollars...” I winced as I asked my next question. “How long did it take you to spend your inheritance?”  

Um... 1 year and...” She began counting on her fingers. “11! It took me one year and eleven months.” She nodded proudly. “I know cause my birthday is next month.” 

"Wait... She probably got her inheritance when she turned 18, so that means she’s turning 20... Fucking hell...” I thought as I studied her slightly haggard homely face. I had figured she was in her late 20s or early 30s. Not 19 going on 20 years old.

------------------------------ 

If I fix her money issue, will she still work here?” I pondered as Lexii rambled on about her tattoos. After learning of her hardships, I got Lexii back focused on her tattoos so that I could sort things out in my head. “I guess she might just disappear... But she’ll probably still blow through her money... Think Jackson, Think...” I feigned interest in Lexii’s cat tattoo on the front of her thigh. “Wait, what if she works here because she likes this place... That might just keep her here as I fix things...” Lexii’s rambling came back into focus as I waited for my chance to interrupt.  

So yeah! I have a pussy next to my...” Lexii smirked and leaned towards me. “Pussy!” She let out a loud giggle.  

Seeing my chance to interject I jumped on it. “Not to change the subject, but I just wanted make an observation.” I got my thumb in position. “I know you said money was the reason that you work here, but I don’t think that’s one hundred percent correct is it.” I touched the ring with my thumb. “You work here because you enjoy working at the restaurant. Even if you had plenty of money you would still work here because you enjoy the environment and the job duties.” I removed my thumb from the ring.  

O my god, you’re like so smart. I do love working here!!!” She said nodding. “Even before I was old enough to work here I wanted to work here. I just love it!” 

I see.”  I said taking a drink of coffee. Her comment had piqued my interest. “So what it is about this place that you love so much?” 

So like I really like being around people. I get to meet so many people.” She began to tap her inflated lip with her index finger. “And everyone is so nice here. They give me compliments, and...” She stopped and fluttered her eyes. “I like when I get their attention... You know.” Her face reddened slightly. “Like it’s nice to have guys give me attention and tell me what to do... Honestly it’s kind of hot.” She continued to tap her lip while she was lost in her brain. “O! And the girls here are so nice to me. They’re like the sisters I never had! Missiles is basically my family. I love this place!” 

It must feel good to have a place that feels like home. Especially considering your background.” I said nodding along.  

O my god totally!” She said bouncing in her chair.  

Well I would say that worked.” I thought as my eyes studied Lexii’s face.

I guess I should start chipping away.” I thought as I watched her inflated lips smack together as she continued to ramble. Back when I was in college I had taken a sculpture class, and though I’m not very artistic the class did teach me about patience. I knew I could completely transform Lexii with a single comment, but that would leave the finer details to chance. So rather than trying to fix all her faults with a single statement, I decided to address them one by one. Slowly but surely I would mold Lexii into a happy and healthy young women. That way when I finished testing the ring on her, I could at least walk out of the restaurant with a clean conscience. “So it begins...” I held my finger up to interrupt Lexii. “Sorry to interrupt. I know how cool you think your hippie Queen tattoo is, but I wanted to ask you about your lips.”  

Lexii looked up from her ankle. “They’re sexy aren’t they!” She puckered her lips and blew me a couple kisses. “Guys really like big lips, and mine are the biggest here!” She said grinning at me. 

I wanted to roll my eyes, but I kept my poker face. Sure her lips were large, but they looked like two plastic hot dogs that were strapped to her face. “Well...” I paused and stared at her overinflated lips one last time. “They are big, but size doesn’t always matter.” Lexii looked shocked at my comment. “Don’t get me wrong big lips are popular, but when women start loading them up with filler... Well you know.” 

 Lexii’s mouth mung open at my comment. “I know what?”  

They can look a little ridiculous.” My words seemed to drain the joy from Lexii’s face. “But Lexii that doesn’t effect you does it?” Her look of sadness quickly morphed into confusion as I touched my thumb to the ring. “You made a good decision to not get lip fillers and leave your lips natural.” 

I watched Lexii’s large firm lips suddenly soften and drooped down as the filler was magically drained from them. For a moment I thought she was going to be left with lips that looked like saggy deflated balloons, but then her lips quickly pulled back into her face and took on their natural thin contour. “I know right!” Her face lit up with excitement as she poked her bottom lip. Seeing her lip squish and distort underneath her finger was a welcome sight. “Like my friend Casey got hers done and she was all like Lexii you need to get your done too, but I was all like no... for real.” She said as she nodded at me. “Like that was a pretty good decision by me. I’m pretty smart.” 

Sure you’re smart...” I thought as I nodded along with Lexii. “Well, maybe she will be when I’m done testing the ring on her. Who knows...” I began to grin at Lexii, which seemed cause her to become even happier.

O my god, I totally forgot about your salad.” Lexii popped up from her chair. “Let me go get that for you sweetie!” She winked at me and wiggled off towards the kitchen to fetch my food. 

Ooof...” I thought as I watched her surgically enhanced ass roll from side to side. It almost looked like she was wearing a diaper underneath her shorts, but I knew that wasn’t the case. “As bad as those tattoos are, the front and rear airbags that she had installed need to come out ASAP...” As she grabbed my food from the kitchen I caught a glimpse of Lexii’s profile, and as ridiculous as the enhancements looked from the front and the back they looked even worse from the side. “It’s like she had to get her tits and ass done at the same time so that they would counter balance each other..." I thought as I took a  drink of my coffee. “Well at least I know what I’m fixing next.” 

As Lexii strutted across the restaurant with my food in hand, my eyes were locked on her large fake breasts. “Not even the slightest jiggle...” I thought as her breasts remained motionless on her chest despite Lexii’s heavy footsteps. “Well I can fix that.” I took another drink of my coffee and my gaze moved back up to her smiling face as she sat my salad down on the table.  

Here you go sweety!” She said leaning over and practically shoving her hard tits in my face. “O! Do you need that coffee freshened up?” She leaned in closer awkward snatching the coffee mug from my hand.  

Sure.” I said staring at her breasts which were now just inches from my face. 

Oooo kay!” She giggled and tried to wiggle her breasts in my face before turning around and strutting back to fill up my coffee mug. 

She must have caught me starring at her tits...” I mumbled to myself as I looked down at the very average salad that sat in front of me. “Well it’s not like people come here for the food.” I grabbed my fork and poked a piece of dry looking grilled chicken that sat atop my salad.  “Oof...” I grabbed the little container of dressing and doused my salad with it in the hopes of masking the mediocrity.  

With a full mug of coffee in hand, Lexii slowly strutted back to my table. “How is it sweety?” She asked sitting back down on the chair she had spun around backwards. “Is it good?” She leaned forward and rested her bugling fake breasts on the back of the chair.  

My eyes briefly locked on her bugling breasts before drifting back up to her vapid eyes. “It’s good.” I said as I tried to choke down a dry piece of grilled chicken. “It’s got a lot of... um flavor.” I said wincing as I swallowed the grainy chicken. Feeling it catch slightly in my throat I initially reached for the mug of coffee, but not wanting to burn my mouth I grabbed the glass of water that had been sitting untouched on my table. “O thank god.” My inner monologue cried out as I felt the chicken slide down my throat. “It only took a half a glass of water...” I though sitting the glass back down.  

I’ll take your word for it. I’m like not really into salads. Ya know?” Lexii’s head bobbed up and down as she tried to make small talk.  

Yeah...” I said before turning my attention to the task at hand. “So Lexii I don’t mean to be rude or want to come off as some pervert, but I really want to ask you about your boobs... and well.” I paused for a moment. “your butt too.” I grabbed the glass of water and took another big drink. “They’re clearly enhanced, but I was curious about the story behind those enhancements.”
