The Bewitched One

The Bewitched One
She said her sofa was bewitched.
'Bewitched!?' I exclaimed.
'Yeah!!!' She managed to reply with that 'You won't believe this expression!'
'How, how... how do you say that?' Am trying to practise a stammer, adding new dimensions to my personality!
'Well! Its kinda magical you know....' She was grinning large by now...
'Yeah? Like... Like like what happens?' Stammerring as I realised then gives you sufficient time to start talking and then think of what to say! No... you don't even have to think fast, people are always polite with a stammerrer and usually think its their fault that you are stammerring... hehehe!
'Like, see, I sit on it now with this phantom comics...' She now moves to her sofa, the 'bewitched' one and seats herself with feet curled under her and leans to the left hand rest with the 3 cushions, red, yellow and red, under her and flips open a comics lying on the side table.
'And...?' Not much scope for stammerring, but by now I had forgotten all about stammerring and was awaiting miracles...
'Shhh...' she told me gently, requesting my patience I suppose.
I waited, for something to happen, for maybe Griz to disappear into thin air, for maybe Griz to turn into a pizza, (I was beginning to feel hungry) for maybe Griz to turn into phantom of the phantom comics (hehehe, sometimes my imagination gets the better of me), for maybe a *boooom*, or a flight to begin with Griz on it, like the magic Carpet kinds, or maybe nothing at all! Hmm, I sniggerred in my mind for having been foolish to believe that something would happen, that's what was bewitching about the sofa, nothing happened, nothing at all... hahaha, I almost laughed aloud!
Then I began to wonder how long do I have to wait before I saw the bewitched one in its act. I was bored, hungry, sleepy, hmmm... I moved closer to Griz and shook my hands before her face, she didn't look at me. Aha! I thought, so you are not gonna respond hmm? I decided to play along. I gathered cushions from the other sofa and rested on the right arm of the sofa with my feet up on the sofa and slid down. Mmmmmmm.... It was amazingly comfortable, especially for one so bored, hungry and sleepy. Before I knew it, I was fast asleep!
