  • Evening Talks-The Serious Talk

    Introduction. From a previous post.


     


    This is a talk between two strangers meeting at work place. They decide to live together and all these are talks between them in the evenings when they sit in the couch and watch T.V or movies or listen to music.


     


    The 'I' here is a depiction of myself. Jennifer is the favorite name of mine so I gave that name to this fictitious character. This character may take characteristics of many women. Most of the time she will be just talking to me her mind, through that I will try to express what I feel about contemporary events and my thoughts about life.


     


    I will try my best to update the Evening Talks when it is ready.  Sometime it will be daily or every other day or sometimes it will come twice in a week or just a weekly update. It depends on the availability of time. Nothing is a taboo for these adults. If the language is for adults only I will post a warning.


     


    Enjoy if you can.

    There is a Jennifer I know in real life, the character I am depicting here is purely imaginary and have nothing to do with the real Jennifer.

    The day broke through the dark of the night long time back and I was still snoring upon the recliner and almost heard my snoring waking up. Suddenly I realized I am alone all stretched in the chair.


     


    “Yet another dream” I said aloud.


     


    “Really, what was it about… me?...” Jennifer’s sound shook the breath out of me. She was lying on the floor.


     


    “You first hugged me and kept me to your chest like a child, then kissed my cheeks while snoring, then….” She paused and smiled.


     


    I asked “Then?…”


     


    “Then you pushed me down like a pillow… hahaha” she laughed aloud.


     


    I got up from the chair and walked towards the toilet She got up and said.


     


    “What happened last night should never happen between us”


     


    “You mean sleeping on the same chair?” I kinda got irritated by her tone.


     


    “No, the whole dating other people thing” She did not looked at me while she said that.


     


    “Look at me Jennifer, looks like the whole fault was mine in the first place. You choose the guy, you went out on a dinner with him and now you are telling me that I should have really stopped you from going on a date with some guy. Is that what you are saying?”


     


    “No I didn’t say that, but I really wished that I came in here and kicked you nuts for letting me go with another guy, and calling you a psycho for just asking the time when I said I am going for a date.” She stopped speaking and looked at with a smile slowly spreading upon her face. It surprised me that what she thought of saying real was what she told me in the dream I saw.


     


    I gave one of my side smiles and said… “I was hurt a bit for reasons I don’t know how to say, but sure it should not happen again” I paused as I saw Jennifer turning away from me.


     


    “I think we should talk a lot more than we do now, about serious matters” Jennifer turned around and looked at me.


     


    “Really?? About what? Love? Marriage? Ah??” I stepped towards her… She smiled at me and said… “We will reach there, don’t worry, but…” She raised her eyebrows and looked straight at me eyes”


     


    I interrupted her “Yeah, we should go out on a real date, my mistake, I almost dug up a trench of friendship around you. You know… that is one hell hole people romantically interested should never jump into.”


     


    Jennifer’s face brightened and a step closer to me she came and said “Yeah we should… I thought you are going to ask me out for a real date… then you were like you said digging up the friendship hole hahah” She couldn’t help laughing. Then she said “ I think we will do a date soon, what about next weekend, I will be totally held up whole week” She smiled at me as there was only a thin line of daylight between us. She suddenly held my hand kissed it hard and said “I have seen many men, I think you knew that. You are the one that gave me that feeling that you really want me for the rest of your life. It will need a lot of hard work from both of us and I hope you will make those adjustments.”


     


    I held her hand upon my chest and said, “Sure, now it is you and I and you and I need to be “we”, and we will show our life how wonderful we are as “we”. Next weekend then.”


     


    I let her go and walked to the bathroom and on the way and I saw on the mirror Jennifer kissing her own hand that I held upon my chest.
