Learning To Live Chapter 2

"Umm, I just turned sixteen a few weeks ago." She said hesitantly. "What about you? I can see you are in the military, so that must mean that you are at least eighteen" she stated.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chris gave her a warm smile and let out a slight chuckle at her conclusion, only slightly disappointed by how young she truly was. "You would be correct, I am at least eighteen. I am in fact twenty one to be exact. I know you are probably still in a state of shock, I know I am. Since you are kind of stuck with me until we can figure out how to get you back to normal, how about I give you a tour of the place to help put you at ease?" He said, laying his palm down beside Callie.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Callie eyed his hand skeptically. "Isn't there some other way" she pleaded, not wanting to literally be in the palm of this giants hand. The palm alone was as big as a car while his fingers appeared to be as thick as tree trunks. She looked up at Chris's face one last time in hopes he had a better solution before she climbed into his awaiting hand. Callie felt her stomach drop as the hand rose higher in the air to be level with Chris's chest. In the process, his palm curled around her body keeping her safe from falling off. His skin felt warm and leathery to the touch. Although she could feel the rush of air around her, the heat from his hand kept her from being chilled.

Chris was in awe of the young woman he now held in his hand. She was so tiny and could only weigh a pound, if that. Smiling down at her, he felt like a nervous school boy trying to keep his palm from becoming all sweaty. "Are you comfortable" he asked. Callie gave him what he perceived to be a nervous smile. "Your hand is surprisingly warm." she said Chris noticed a blush creeping up to her cheeks after she spoke. Must be embarrassed he thought, enjoying the feel of her bare legs against his hand. 

"Well as you can see, this area right here is my bed. To the left we have a little nightstand. Across the room we have a dresser, tv, and mini fridge. Oh, and this door leads into the bathroom," he said opening the door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Callie watched with interest as Chris shower her around his room. Everything looked just like normal day amenities, but proportioned for a giant rather than someone her size. The bathroom sink alone was big enough to be a swimming pool. She was starting to become overwhelmed again, just looking around his room. "I tell you what." Chris said while walking back over to his bed. "Why don't I go get us some dinner and then maybe we could just watch a movie and relax for a while?" "That would be great Chris," said Callie with enthusiasm. She would do just about anything to be out of this guy's hand for a while. It was all just too much. Callie felt a slight jolt as Chis rested his palm down on his nightstand for her to step off.

Chris was a nervous wreck around Callie, not wanting to make things harder for her. "Here" he said, grabbing a tissue from the box right next to her. "You might get a little chilly while i'm gone. This is the best I can do on short notice. We will have to come up with something more comfortable when I get back." Callie nodded while taking the tissue from his outstretched hand.
