“So, you are applying for a waitress position Ms. Wright, am I correct?” the manager said and I would like to say obviously that is correct but I tried not to, if I want to be hired right now, I might stay as myself.

“Yes, sir”.

“Okay since our staff are not enough and your interview goes well, I will hire you but make sure to not cause any trouble. My restaurant is not in good condition now. And you may start on Monday since you are new here you will need some documents and I will attach it here to your file and you can go to the workers relation to get all of it”. He said.

“Thank you, sir, I will not disappoint you” I said while shaking his hand. After he congratulated me and attached the documents that I will need we bid our goodbyes.

I took my phone from my bag when I felt it vibrate, I put it under vibrate mode since I’ve attended an interview. I saw Dylan’s name plastered on my phone.

“How’s the interview? Did it go well?” he asked.

“I have a friend of mine and somehow he is short of staff in his shop, I can refer you if you want.” He said and I felt something weird in my chest. We’ve been communicating for three weeks. First, I thought that he just wanted to get in my pants and I confronted him after a day of that night. But it ended up that he wanted us to be friends. Of course I was shocked. I did not expect that then he explained that is his way how to make friends and he liked that way because it is a tricky shit. When I said that he’s a jerk he just laughed.

“Stop it Dy, I’m hired”.

“Really? Then let’s celebrate later, I know a place and it’s my treat since this is your very first job here in South Carolina” he said in a very excited tone.

“I can’t, I need to finish my requirements first. It needs to be passed on Monday”.

“Come on, Becs you have Thursday and Friday for that, let's just have some drinks later, kay?” he persists.

I sighed and said “fine”.

“It’s a deal! I will send you the address, see you there at nine in the evening okay?” he said.

“yeah, yeah, like I have another choice” I shot back and rolled my eyes. He just laughed at my annoyed voice and said “congratulations by the way” then he hung up.

For some reason I felt I did a good job. “You know that you cannot feel that way right darling, try to remember our past and soon you will understand me”. Damn I almost forgot about her. “I did tell you that I like you more when you’re cursing right. I ignored her and kept walking towards my car. “Dear why are you ignoring me? You still can’t believe that I am you hahaha. You’re so cute my darling” she keeps laughing and it irritates the hell out of me.

“Shut up, can you?” I snap back at her; I mean to myself. She laughs loudly inside of my head. “You really make me happy darling hahaha I can’t help it... I mean look at yourself. Is it wonderful to have me…?

your desire and other half…

I don’t know what to do she kept appearing, I kept hearing my own voice and it’s getting loud last night I found myself at the garden digging same hole as if I will bury something there, as soon I found myself there I quickly ran towards my room and lock my door, I looked for my mirror to found out that she’s the one who did that and she said that we will need that soon. I tried to seek mental help but when I was in front of the clinic, I kept my tracks off. I can’t go further.

I kept fighting her but, in the end, I always found myself agreeing to her.

She disappeared when I reached my car. I start my engine and drive my way home to have some rest and prepare for later. While getting my key at my bag I heard a small growl at the back of my auntie’s house I saw a bucket of water there and the growl getting loudly, as soon as I get there I looked down at the bucket to see a black kitten trying it’s best to get out of the bucket.

“What are you doing there, kitty? How’d you get inside of this bucket? I said while wiping its fur with my handkerchief. When I get inside of my house, I quickly grab a towel to wrap it but its growl keeps loud, I run towards my fridge and get my fresh milk so maybe she’s hungry. I poured some milk into the bowl and walked back to the living room where my kitten is. Yes, it’s mine now I don’t know but when I saw her at the bucket I saw myself and I definitely like her in a short period of time.

As soon I place the milk on the floor she jumps and starts licking it. I smiled by seeing her, I pat her head while she’s drinking her milk, at first she growled at me but I didn’t flick I just kept patting her head, Her eyes is still on mine and it’s look like she’s saying stop patting my head can’t you see I’m hungry I laughed at that thoughts. This cat is really my type.

I let her continue with her milk and walked towards my room to change my dress. I place my bag at my side table and start unbuttoning my sleeve and pants. I walk where my cabinet is. I stopped when I saw my back in my vanity mirror. I smiled as I remembered the cat from my living room, she really looked like me, I guess.
