YE OLE SWITCHEROO

CHAPTER FIVE

Luke

 

I rolled my eyes. Lately, Seth was always either passing out or being knocked out, both highly deserved. I went out into the hall and looked for Jessie but she wasn’t outside the door like I expected, she wasn’t anywhere in the hallway. I went back into Seth’s room and looked around for a vase of water or something. I couldn’t find anything but just then a woman walked in, with Jessie walking right behind her. She was covered head to toe in a red dress with gold trimmings and was wearing a very large headdress that was shaped as a heart and has a piece of satin hanging down the back of it. She stood tall and was followed by men who looked like the ones who captured us. She held up and hand and waved it forward. Jessie scurried toward her and stood beside her. She put a hand in front of her mouth and whispered something to little Jessie. Jessie nodded and turned towards the men.

 

      “Milady asks if you would please leave us for she has some private matters to speak to these men about.”

 

One man comes forward.

 

      “Milady, your beloved told us to keep watch of you.”

 

The woman turned around and faced the soldiers.

 

      “My husband does not own me. I know why he asked and I can say that I am more than insulted! Leave now or face my wrath.”

 

The men hesitated and then finally gave up. They straightened their backs and walked out, all except the one who spoke out the woman.

 

      “We will wait outside the corridors. Do not forget.”

 

He bowed his head and left.

 

The woman turned to me and Seth, who was still passed out. Jessie pulled a chair out from under a desk that was holding an oval shaped mirror. The lady sat down and just kept staring. She had hazel eyes and her skin was more of an olive tone. Her face looked like that of a princess, polished and primped beyond belief. She had high and defined cheekbones and extremely large red lips, like she just got punched in the face or something. She just kept staring and I started to nudge Seth, hoping he would wake up; Seth was always better with girls than me. She finally spoke.

 

      “Why are you here?”

 

I looked at her and tried to read her expression. She looked almost angry but when she spoke it sounded as if she was generally curious.

 

      “I came to talk to my brother.”

 

She furrowed her eyebrows and started to chuckle.

 

      “I mean, why did the guard find thou spying on them in the woods of Kind Edward?”

 

I shrugged. She got up and started pacing.

 

      “Your accent is most odd. Where does thou originate?”

 

      “America.”

 

She stopped and looked at me.

 

      “There is no such place.”

 

I suddenly remembered that we were in 1461 and America wasn’t founded until 1492. I had to come up with a lie, and fast.

 

      “England.”

 

      “Yet my lady in waiting told me that thou spoke to her as if thou did not know who our king was. Everyone in England knows.”

 

      “Uhm, well, you see…”

 

      “There! Thou speaketh as if thou not know our diction yet thou claims that thou are from these parts?”

 

I shook my head and tried to remember my world history class. The 1460’s were considered the Renaissance Era and they spoke kind of like Romeo and Juliet. I tried to give myself a sort of British accent and cleared my throat.

 

      “Uhm, forgive me for I have not been here for many years. My father was a merchant and was recently killed, hence my brother and I being found in thou’s woods.”

 

She nodded and got up.

     

      “And why were thou found in our woods?”

 

      “Why because…”

 

I racked my brain for something, anything. I looked around the room for anything to give me a little help and my eyes fell on Jessie; and I got a light bulb.

 

      “Because we were planning to ask the king for a service we may provide for him. My father told us that if he ever passed, for us to venture to the king’s land and ask for a profession, for my father believe the king to be most generous.”

 

She nodded and came close to me. I felt my heart beat faster and my breath caught. I was not good when it came to woman even in a body like Seth’s. She traced a finger along my stitches while looking me straight in the eyes.

 

      “I do not believe that this task will be a problem. Maybe thou shall work with me.”

 

I gulped and she laughed. She moved closer and I backed up, falling on the bed. She stood before me and started to play with her sapphire necklace. I looked at her fingers which she was making twirl around where her dress ended, which showed off her breasts very well. I gulped again and she leaned in close to my ear. I felt her hot breath run down my neck and I shivered.

 

      “If thou does not wish to make the woman of the castle fight to the death over thee, my suggestion would be to cover up that chiseled physique.”

 

I heard a whistle and a voice that I would recognize anywhere.

 

      “What did I miss?”

 

Seth

 

So what would you do if you see your brother talking to a super hot babe dressed in a dress that shows off her tits perfectly and she is leaning into him giving me a perfect view? Well, I would have hit on her too except that I am in my ugly as fuck brother’s body. She straightened herself and looked at me. She had nice eyes and a nice face but I wasn’t concentrating on that. Whoever this chick was she was mad hot and if I was in my brother’s position I would pounce, but I wasn’t. I got out of bed and bowed to her. She was wearing one of the weirdest outfits I had ever seen but it was okay because it made her waist look small and it brought out her… eyes. She curtsied and approached me.

 

      “Sir, I am glad you awake. The king expects thou brother and thee both in his presence in ten minutes. I would not be late.”

 

She flashed me an amazing smile and then left out the door followed by the little girl, Jessie I think it was. I turned to Luke.

 

      “Already using my good looks for your benefit, I see.”

 

He rolled his eyes.

 

      “She came onto me. I felt violated. Unlike you, I am completely committed to Ashley, aka I’m not a whore.”

 

I shrugged. I might be a whore but I had fun while doing it.

 

      “What happened?”

 

      “You keep passing out, maybe you have a concussion.”

 

I felt the top of my head but nothing felt bruised.

 

      “I’m fine; just tell me what you were saying before I passed out.”

 

      “I was saying that we went back in time. We are in the year 1461 or something.”

 

I looked at him and stared. He looked so serious, with his forehead in wrinkles and his brows furrowed. I started to burst out laughing.

 

      “Dude, you’re an idiot.”

 

He shook his head and grabbed my shoulders.

 

      “NO! YOU’RE THE IDOIT! WATCH!”

 

He walked over to a window, I hadn’t noticed before, covered with red curtains. He pulled them open and let all the light pour in. I covered my eyes because the light was hurting my eyes. Another thing wrong with this body was that when Luke was little, the eye doctor told my family and me that Luke had little pigmentation in his eyes. I’m not sure what that means, but I do know that every time the sun hits them it burns. My eyes finally adjusted and I looked outside. There was a stone pathway that led to a gate which was part of a large brick wall. I saw what looked like knights in armor and woman who were completely covered. I turned to Luke.

 

      “Spill it.”

 

He nodded.

 

      “I don’t know how we got here or how we got like this.”

 

He motioned to himself then me. I was assuming that he was referring to our switching body dilemma.

 

      “I don’t even know where to start but I do know one thing.”

 

He looked me straight in the eye and knew what he was going to say.

 

      “No. No way, Luke. I want my body back ASAP.”

 

      “Seth, believe it or not, I do too but imagine the culture we could take in while here. Imagine all the legends we can meet. Seth, imagine all the possibilities.”

 

      “I don’t want to imagine it, Luke. I want to go home. I want to be with Leslie. Don’t you want to be with Ashley?”

 

I saw that I hit a nerve because he flinched. I knew that he loved Ashley and that made me want her even more. All I wanted to do was prove that I could have any girl I wanted, no matter how hot or ugly. He sat down and rubbed his temples.

 

      “Okay, I’ll make you a deal. We stay here until we find someone or something to help us. I wont go looking so you’re going to have to do it all by yourself. Got it?”

 

He wanted me to hunt down something to bring us back to the 21^st century alone? I rolled my eyes. What I do to get laid.

 

      “Fine.”

 

He nodded and then snapped his fingers.

 

      “Oh, and you have to learn to speak English.”

 

I rolled my eyes.

 

      “I get that I am not a genius like you but I think I know how to speak a language that I was born speaking.”

 

He shook his head.

 

      “You are idiot. I mean that you have to learn how to speak how the people here speak and I think I know just the person to teach us.”

 

We made eye contact and laughed. Sometimes we felt our twin telepathy powers but usually ignored them but not this time, not when my life and my sex time are at stake. Simultaneously we said her name.

 

      “OH JESSSSIIIEE!”
