Shadows (part 2)

The light of the early morning sun was dimmed by my curtains. I stared at the ceiling as I lay in my bed and then I heard someone whisper ”morning”. I turned to lay on my side and looked at the blonde, blue eyed man in my bed looking at me from his pillow. Though I could only see half of his mouth, I could see charming smile.

“How did you sleep?” I whispered with a smile

“Good… you?” he whispered

“Good” I said with a light chuckle

“Cool… I know this is going to sound bad, but I have to go” he said as he moved over to the side of the bed.

“Don’t you want breakfast?” I asked

“Thanks, but I'm fine” he answered with a smile

“Okay” I replied

“Don’t worry, I will call you” he said

“If you say so” I said skeptically with a smile

“I’m not just saying that, I will actually call you. I just have somethings to do, but I can meet up with you?” he said smiling.

“That sounds great!” I said

He breathed out “hhhokay…. So do you think I should just go like this or should I change into someone else so your flatmate doesn't get suspicious?” he said as he look at me through the mirror

“Um..you can change into my ex?” I said in an unsure tone

“Are you sure?” he said with a questioning look

“Yeah, Derek doesn’t actually know that we broke up” I said

“How?” he asked

“Um… I didn’t tell him” I said

“Why may I ask?” he said

“Because he had said from the beginning that he would break my heart and he did, so I didn’t tell Derek because he gets annoying when he is right” I replied

“Okay but I need either a picture of him for his look or an article of clothing to get everything like his look and his voice?” he said

“I can do both. I have some of his stuff in that leather duffle over there by the desk” I said pointing to the leather duffle bag that was squished between my bookshelf and desk. “And… here is a pic of him” I said as I got a photo up of him on my phone

“Okay, thanks” he said as he studied the photo

He turned to the mirror and looked at me as he shifted his form from the cute blonde guy with blue eyes to an exact replica of my ex-boyfriend, Paul.

Paul

I smiled as “Paul” walked over to the duffle and took out one of the t-shirts. He pulled the shirt over his head and then walked back over to me and hovered his face near to mine.

“Okay” he said with a cheeky grin “how do I look?” he said with a perfect imitation of Paul’s voice

“It’s…” I said squinting my eyes

“Weird?” he asked

“It's uncanny how well you are able to imitate him” I said

He chuckled “yeah you should see down there” as he looked down at his crotch

“Really?” I said

“Yes but that is a question for another time” he said as he pulled up his jeans and picked up his shirt

“fine, bye” I said

“Bye” he said as he walked over to me. He kissed me lightly and then quickly walked out the room. I heard Derek and “Paul” greet each other, then the front door opened and slammed shut.

I heard Derek's bear feet walk to my door and then he popped his head into my room. “Paul?” he asked with a surprised look

“Yes Paul” I replied

“Haven’t seen him for a while” he said

“He was away for business” I replied

“Cool” he said as he slowly closed the door, “oh yeah, I bought some food so come and get some breakfast when you are ready” he said through the door.
