This choice: I was worried that you may really want to leave me and discovered these powers. • Go Back...Chapter #5Worried Goddess. by: gerald You can only lean forward, your stomach hurts from the sudden stress. Wait, no.. it can't be, this is simply...
"Impossible?" - she asks.
You look back at her and... she looks still the Sarah you knew, a bit prettier - sure, but the same person, and yet...
"Oh come on, we both know what you really want to do!" - she exclaims overjoyed, has she also noticed how attracted you were to her during the... "Of course I have."
No, no, no, no, no, no, no... you close your eyes, cover your ears and try to figure it out. This is impossible, none of this may be real. Some practical joke or perhaps.. right... this must be a dream - yes, only in dreams people can read - 'or write' - other's people thoughts...
Whoa.
Was that... 'yup it was'. But that is how she is speaking... only - it was not a voice, it was not like thinking words and sentences to yourself quietly in your head... those were thoughts. She modified your thoughts to pass a message! No.. get out of...
"Oh it is rude to think to me like that!" - she speaks slightly annoyed and you find your hands no longer covering your ears - just hanging next to them. But it was not you who moved them... "Look, if you are going to act and think like a drama queen, then I really don't think we can have a serious conversation here..."
"Could you please..." - you start to say.
"Oh don't be so annoying with those thoughts, you know I always want to be with you!" - she replies playfully even before you speak it out loud.
"Sarah, please.. just..."
"Oh really is it so much? How did you think I felt yesterday when after a whole week you haven't called or replied to my messages?"
"But..."
"So now you can feel a bit worried too! And since I know how much you liked all that..."
"Could You at least pretend not to read my mind!?!" - you finally raise your voice, almost scream, trying to get to her.
'Can I still write them?'
No!
"Okay okay, big deal... like you never read my mind..."
What can she...
"You remember how you got me that gift I always wanted for my last birthday? I really really loved how you seemed to guess exactly what I wished to get! I felt like you really understand me and loved you so much there and..."
"Sarah, please... If you loved me... If you still love me - could you please give me just some privacy? At least in my head?"
Then You realize how she could simply make you love her and how much simpler everything could be, just by making a little... it was one of her thoughts, wasn't it? You feel so scared, afraid that even your thoughts can no longer be your own, that... but then everything will be okay, we can be both happy and... NO!
Sarah looks at you a bit worried and speaks "Alright, I get it, it's too much to take in right now, but I am sure that..."
"Could we please get back to the class so I could just think about this, using my own thoughts and I will always love you... Hey!"
"What didn't you like that?"
"Would you like me to be just your drone? A slave bound to you"... with no free will?
"But it would not be like that" - she interrupts your sentence obviously still listening to your thoughts - "You would still have free will, just... a little..."
"Limited? Like a slave?"
"Oh come on! You know I only want the best for us!"
Nothing has ever been more obvious to you, it seems like something that you have been avoiding for a long time now, but it is so simple and yet so satisfying... no, no, No, NO!
"Look, will there be 'us' in you plus a mind slave?"
Her expression changes completely - even while you are still saying it - from playfully happy face, she suddenly breaks into tears and jumps into your arms - "I did not want to do that.. I just wanted us to..."
You can only embrace her, afraid of the alternatives - but at least the fear suggests that you are thinking alone now... You hope. If she manages to sneak thoughts concealed even better than previously, then you are sure it would...
"No, I will not do that! I just wanted to make sure you do not leave me again..."
"Sarah, please, could you" at least pretend not to read my mind?
She clutches at you tightly, "Okay, uh, sorry".
Great. So now if only you did not know that every single thought will be read by the... very attached young girl, quickly correcting yourself, that you never said you even want to get back with... She squeezes you tighter with her slim girly arms, but... God she is strong... it feels as if your ribs are going to break - but she eases down quite a bit, obviously still...
"Sorry, I will try not to show it like that" - she speaks and backs away a bit, still holding your chest with her hands on the sides. It feels like you could not escape her grasp no matter what...
"You know it would be simpler if you just stopped reading my mind..." - this time she waits for you to complete your sentence, before spewing out a seemingly already prepared response:
"But how would I know what you think about me?"
It dawns on you, how to explain a God - 'dess' - "Um, sorry..." - a moment to calm down... How to explain a Goddess that love can only be willing and reading...
"I told you that I will not make you to love me, stopping the reading is out of the question - so you better get used to this!" - she says with a tone that convinces you she will not change her mind. Or is it her again? You look into her eyes... Did You? She shakes her head - hopefully not, then. You simply do not know what to think...
She speaks "In this case we better..." indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
