Katissa walked by and the first thing I noticed was her brand new necklace. It looked like a shiny see through disco ball on a gold chain. I yelled out, “Hey girlfriend; what’s with the new bling?”
She turned back around and came into my office and holding it up just a few inches from my face she said, “You like? It is what is going to finally get that hot white guy on the fifth floor to notice me.”
Little lights danced on my eyes and danced on my mind as I stared at the beautiful necklace spinning lazily away in front of my eyes. I immediately started to notice that my eyes were struggling to look away and pulled my eyes away from the necklace. Then I said, “Wait! Is that what the necklace you were telling me about?”
She smiled and said, “Sure is honey. I saw you start to fall into a trance before you pulled your eyes away.”
I laughed and said, “Damn, I was out on my feet for a few seconds. Are you sure you should go through with this? What if he realizes what is happening and resists?”
Katissa said, “He will probably fire me. But something tells me he will go willingly to the slaughter.”
I said, “Really? Why do you think he will not put up a fight?”
She said, “Because last week he sat across from me in the meeting and I played with an ordinary necklace letting it swing around in my cleavage and he never looked away except when it was his turn to speak in the meeting. So this time I have him on the agenda first so the next fifty minutes he can just stare at the new necklace and fall under my spell.”
Intrigued I said, “But don’t you actually have to say something to put him under your spell?”
She said, “Oh yes, that comes later. And that is where you come in.”
I said, “Me? What do I have to do with your evil but delicious plan?”
She said, “You are friendly with his secretary so I need you to get her away from her desk long enough for me to slip by and get into his office. Once I’m inside then I can take it from there.”
We all got seated for our usual Tuesday afternoon meeting and as usual Dennis took the seat at the end of the table. Katissa slipped into the chair across from Dennis and kept her notebook close to her body hiding the necklace from anyone’s view. Sophia kicked off the meeting and turned the time over to Dennis who discussed his area of the project and then the attention moved onto the next person on the agenda.
Dennis looked over at Katissa and smiled, she smiled back and then drew his attention to the necklace. She took the chain between her pointer finger and index finger just inches above the stone and began twirling it. Dennis’ eyes went to the stone and as far as I could tell never left the stone again until Sophia announced the meeting was adjourned and Katissa put her hand over the stone.
We all got up to leave but Dennis continued to stare at the empty seat that Katissa had vacated until Sophia tapped him and said, “Are you planning on staying for our IT meeting Dennis?”
He suddenly became aware of his surroundings and said, “Um no, I was just deep in thought. See you next week.”
As we walked out I said to Katissa, “Wow, he was totally out.”
Katissa said, “I know. And as soon as I walk into his office and show him the necklace his mind will flash back as if he was still in the conference room in a trance. It will be like taking candy from a baby.”
At the appointed time I went upstairs to the fifth floor where all the executives are and went to distract his administrative assistant. Just as I got to her desk I heard her computer shut down and she stood up. I said, “Hey, I was just coming by to chat. Where you heading?”
She said, “I have a parent teacher conference today so I’m leaving early. I think Dennis can make it through an hour on his own.”
Katissa came out of the copy room having heard the conversation and said, “Give me a minute and then you can come in and see me at work. I just need to get the trance started before you poke your head in.”
She smiled and walked right into Dennis’ office. She said, “Hi Dennis, do you have a minute?”
I heard him say, “I am very busy right now Katissa. What is this abo, abo?” but he never finished his last word.
There was almost thirty seconds of absolute silence before Katissa said, “Yes, you remember how wonderful my necklace makes you feel don’t you Dennis. Just watch it spin and feel your eyes growing heavy; so very heavy.”
Then she said, “Okay Camille, you can come in now and watch the show.”
I walked in and found Dennis staring at the necklace with a huge smile and distant stare on his face. She was no longer wearing the necklace but had boldly removed it and held it right in his face. As I came in she said, “Do me a favor and close the door so we’re not disturbed.”
She said, “You are becoming sleepier and sleepier Dennis and as your eyes grow heavier and heavier you feel my voice becoming one with your thoughts. The spinning of my necklace is quite irresistible as is my soothing hypnotic voice. You find yourself captivated and helpless and need to sleep. You need to sleep so you can stop thinking and let me think for you. You need to sleep and wish to sleep more than anything else in this world. Now tell me Dennis dear; what is it you want more than anything else in this world right now?”
Dennis’ voice sounded slow and deeper as he said, “To sleep.”
She held the stone even closer to his face and said, “You need to sleep in hypnotic slumber so you can become my love slave.”
Dennis replied, “I need to sleep in hypnotic slumber so I can become your love slave.”
She said, “When I snatch the necklace from your view your eyes will close and you will fall into a deep hypnotic sleep.”
Katissa yanked her hand up in a quick motion and Dennis’ head fell slowly forward as Katissa whispered, “Yes Dennis; sleep for me. Sleep for you queen and obey me. You are hypnotized now and will obey me without question. Do you understand slave?”
Dennis replied, “Yes my queen.”
She winked at me and said, “From this day forward you will find me irresistibly attractive and will long for my touch. Anytime we touch, be it holding hands, kissing or even just an accidental brush you will feel yourself falling more and more in love with me as your desire to serve me and be my slave becomes stronger and stronger; stronger and stronger.”
Katissa said, “I still haven’t decided if I am going to let him remember being hypnotized.”
I said, “Why would you? Just let him think everything he is thinking and feeling came from inside.”
She laughed and said, “It did. I just put it there.” Then we both laughed.
She said, “You will receive a phone call. When the phone rings you will awaken believing you nodded off at your desk. When you hear my voice on the other end you will act on your desires and lusts and act as you would anytime you realize you have found your dream woman. Anytime I tell you to obey your queen you will fall back into this hypnotic trance and will remember you are my slave. Now sleep and dream of ways to serve your queen.”
Katissa opened her wedding present from me and threw her arms around me. As we embraced she said, “I have a little present for you too. Open it when you get home.”
As soon as I got home I opened my box and found the necklace with instructions on how to induce a hypnotic trance and how to use hypnosis to make a man fall in love. I eagerly read and saw that Katissa had chosen one of many different ways to enchant and enslave a man. The man I wanted did not work in my building but I had just the plan.
Roger opened the door to his place and said, “Okay, you were rambling on the phone. What is this about Dennis being in some kind of mind control spell and not really being in love with Katissa?”
I said, “Think about babe. Had you ever seen Dennis date anything but skinny white women and all of a sudden he is dating big ass Katissa and no one bats an eye or questions it. Well she told me she hypnotized him and made him turn into her love slave.”
My big handsome black man looked at me and said, “You know my momma is from the West Indies and believes in all that voodoo black magic crap. I’m from Brooklyn and I have an education so I do not believe in any of that crap. And even if I did I am not sure what good it would do to believe or even to know. Do you have proof or something?”
I produced the necklace and held it in front of Demond’s eyes and said, “I have this. I believe she used this on Dennis. I was in a meeting one day with her and I noticed a distant stare on Dennis’ face. I traced where his eyes were looking and he was mesmerized by this necklace. The beautiful lights flashing into his eyes seemed to bedazzle his mind and he could not look away. The necklace is so irresistible that anyone that stares at it finds they cannot look away and to be honest my dear, you do not wish to look away do you?”
His eyes were wide as that bewildered yet content stare took hold and he replied, “No, I do not wish to look away.”
I moved a bit closer and letting the necklace spin lazily in my fingers I said, “Dennis could not look away and neither can you. As the necklace spins in your vision you feel your eyes becoming heavier and heavier; heavier and heavier. This is not black magic or voodoo but you are still falling under my spell and will soon be asleep in my power.”
Half an hour later I had Demond kneeling on all fours saying, “Please my queen. Please let me kiss your big black ass and announce to the world that I love you.”
I pulled down my pants laughing and said, “Okay baby calm down. You may kiss my ass and then yell to the mountain tops that you love me and want to marry me.”
I bent over and said, “Okay baby. Give it a good kiss and let the world hear how you feel.”
He kissed my ass with a big pucker and then pushing the window open he hung out the window and yelled at the top of his lungs that he loved me and wanted to marry me. Then he came to me, took a knee and said, “I have not bought a ring yet so this is not my official proposal but I want you to know that I want to spend the rest of my life with you making you the happiest woman on earth.
Several months later my sister called and said, “Hey sis I have a question for you. My boyfriend is glassy eyed and staring at that necklace you sent me but I lost the sheet that came with it. What do I say again?”
I laughed at my younger sister who loses everything and said, “Okay, repeat after me and soon he will be your love slave.”
I’m not sure who she will pass the necklace down to next but I am sure whoever gets it will appreciate its unique ability captivate its audience.
