I Am Not A Clever Man Novels & Stories

I was looking at his smile. "What smell is he talking about?" Jane asked while frowning. It was clear that she didn't like him talking about my hair. "Come on, Jane. He is not himself. He is drunk". I comforted her and drove the car. "I am not drunk but I Am Not Myself….. I Am Not Myself, my Luna".

The foolish old man asked. I stole a glance as I usually did and kept walking while ignoring him. "Am I not talking to a human being?" The foolish old man continued. Well, he uttered that and I didn't mind. After all, we are all humans and of course, it is very silly to ask if I am not a human being since it is clearly written from my head to toe that I am one. "You're more than disrespectful! Woe to where you came from!"

I shook my head in disbelief, "You lost me at the 'square root' explanation." "It's alright," He chuckled, "I mean, these are all easy and all, but, I guess not everyone can be like me." U-huh? I raised an eyebrow, "And what is exactly like you?" "A Genius." He winked. "Ya-huh." I rolled my eyes, "Either way, you can't be a math tutor -that's for sure." "I guess so..." He sighs, "I pity myself for being so smart. " Mm-hmm?

“So why call me Minus?” “Because for a smart guy, you’re a fuckin’ moron. Within moments of realizing how smart you were, I thought to myself, ‘this guy is minus a few in the wisdom department.’ For a guy that’s ‘off the charts’ intelligent, you can be fuckin’ oblivious to what’s going on right in front of you. I told Zaius to send you to the old man. To see if you had in you, what I thought you might.” “What’s that?”

The casual confidence he had was also very attractive. It wasn’t often I got to have a conversation with a man who was of equal or higher intelligence than myself. I didn’t think I was a snob, but dumbing down to have a conversation with a man was getting old. I didn’t want to pretend to be ditzy. I was a blonde, but I hated the stereotype.

“If this is a dream, do NOT wake me up. But if it’s real… uh, hi?” Seriously, how did I ever have a girlfriend and successfully father a child? I knew I had better game than that. I may have lived like a monk, but I still talked to women and got plenty of female attention. So why was I so unfortunate that the one woman I wanted to think I was smart, attractive, and smooth always got me tongue-tied, and I kept saying the dumbest things around?

“You cannot depend on the benevolence of others. Your entire existence depends on you and on you alone. It is good to have friends and companions, but you should know who your real friends are and who your snakes are.” Though her words don't really matter to me, I nodded my head repeatedly as she spoke. I sat in silence as she spoke, knowing that she cared even if not for me, but for the body, I am currently using. Through the window of my room, I could see the streets still bustling with people. While lying on the bed, I exchanged my visions with my summons in the dungeon. Wise did his job perfectly, I should have called him A Genius instead of Wise. I have no idea how smart the smartest pe

I must admit his resilience is quite admirable, "I'll get better in time, I promise." Will he? Because I don't think so. "But you're so smart with numbers, you don't even have to use the calculator to add or subtract," I dare to continue even though I sense he's getting annoyed, "Hey, there's no shame in being smart, dude. In my case, strength is all I have because I might be a little dyslexic or just plain stupid, but you have a brain. I just feel like being here is wasting your true potential. And if you want to just stay in shape, we can keep working out together and..."

And he doesn't even have to see my face. "Because I know you're a strong girl and the only one to make you cry is him. Or from what I heard your parents. But seeing as latter isn't an option, it must be him." "Why are you so damn clever?" I try to stifle a laugh as he bursts out laughing at my words. Honestly, this guy tries to play dumb all the time and maybe in some things he is. But in others he's a genius, he built up his own IT business and is very sucessful with it. At the same time, he doesn't seem nerdy with it at all, more like a total womanizer.
