Hidden Self-Talk

Emily Stone's Apartment

I was casually sitting on the sofa in the living room.

It was a very simple looking apartment without anything luxurious.

There was a glass table in front of me. I was looking around the room while Ms. Emily was making tea for me.

Thinking of her a smile appeared on my face.

Not a heartwarming one.

A lascivious smile. How good it would be to have her.

While ruminating I looked down towards the glass table. While inhaling the pleasent smell of her in the room.

" You really are a pervert"

My reflection suddenly said with a smile.

I literally jumped back. I was frightened.

"You nearly gave me a heart attack!!"

I spoke angrily.

"You should probably speak slowly or else she would think you have a screw loose too other than being a pervert."

I also noticed that my voice was a little bit high. So I started speaking softly.

"What do you want ?" I asked with

annoyance.

" I want what you want. Why are you forgetting that I am you. I know you are a bit of fool and stupid. That's why I thought I should guide you a little."

" I don't need your guidance!"

" Believe me! Or should I say believe yourself you need my guidance. Atleast I can motivate you."

"By annoying me" I said angrily.

My inner self winked and grinned.

Seeing that I really was getting angry. He spoke in a fake apologetic tone.

" Okay! Okay!"

"Let's focus on the current situation. Who do you think is the best target for us at this stage?"

I pondered it for a moment and gave him a white look.

He continued while smiling "Emily! I should have known. But Julia is much better why not her or anyone else?"

"You also know that she is at the moment completely out of my league. So don't try to provoke me.

And there are many reasons behind choosing Emily."

"What are these? I am quite intrigued."

He knew that there was still some time before Emily would be back so he didn't mind chatting with him or his other self.

"I can choose one woman only so I should have a certain confidence in achieving my aim. My intuition says that it is possible with Emily."

"She is a little gullible and caring towards people she knows. I am just a student of her school and neighbour. But she asked me for tea and let me inside. It is already a cut above the rest of the women."

"She lives close to me so there are more opportunities and chances. There can be more interactions in school."

" I could find a topic to interact with her as her student. She most probably will never reject me."

"She is also a compassionate person. Me as an introvert and lonely person will surely raise her kindness. She must also be feeling lonely as no one lives here with her."

I gave a long pause.

"And she is smoking hot!"

Clap! Clap!

"As I must say you are intelligent just like me. But you know the rules. One thought and that too at level one. What could you probably use?."

I rolled my eyes at his first sentence and contemplated the rest.

But then I grinned.

An understanding look appeared on his face.

"So you already have devised a strategy. And here I was thinking why are you so relaxed. You are really smart. Maybe you could reach my level of smartness in the future." It spoke in a elderly voice.

He once again rolled his eyes and completely ignored him this time.

He heard the sound of heels clinking. He knew that Emily was back.

He immediately sat a little bent on the sofa.

He dropped his head down.

He looked in the table to see if he really looked like a depressed person.

Perfect! Those bandages were doing wonders.

*Tick-Tock*

*Tick-Tock*

With each sound I could feel a figure coming closer.

A pleasant scent started wafting into his nose.

At this moment he really didn't know if the fragrance was from tea or Emily.

He personally preferred the latter.

But he also didn't mind if both were pleasant.
