Playing with Perception

Rumors were spreading like wildfire all around the country that MC Stan, the rapper, and Alia Bhatt, the talented and very pretty actress, were spending time alone. Even though it was baseless, the story gained traction and turned into national news, as it was considered one of the most unusual couples ever. The entertainment media was all over it, asking everyone in both industries for confirmation. Those who knew both parties had no knowledge of the situation, while those who didn't know them confirmed and congratulated them. The main sources remained elusive and reluctant to talk about it.

Initially, Alia and Stan didn't pay much attention to the rumors, as they knew there was nothing between them. However, the overwhelming attention the news was receiving made it impossible to ignore. Alia was asked countless times what had happened in the vanity van, to which she repeatedly answered, "Nothing." However, everyone interpreted her silence as an attempt to hide something.

On the other hand, MC Stan didn't care about the rumors but enjoyed the attention they brought. He had never considered having an affair with Alia, but he relished the fact that people were believing it. Whenever someone asked about the rumor, he simply ignored it. However, due to the constant buzz, he couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if it were true. He found himself daily searching for Alia's photos on the internet, fantasizing about the possibility. He secretly hoped the rumor would come true so he could fulfill his desires.

A few days later, Alia had finished her shoot and was scrolling through Instagram with her manager, Raashi, by her side. Raashi snapped her attention to a photo of her with Stan, with the caption "New Couple." Alia showed no reaction, as she had grown accustomed to such things.

"He looks so tapori, but this rumor is getting hyped," Raashi commented without realizing the impact of her words.

"Yeah, babes. I know. He is sweet, though, and this rumor is just spiraling out of control. Social media can make anything believable," Alia replied, sharing her exasperation.

"Hmm... What if it were true? People would go crazy for you two," Raashi laughed, unintentionally planting a thought in Alia's mind.

Alia began researching the rumors through media articles, YouTube videos, and Instagram comments. She discovered that people were writing fictional stories about the supposed relationship. Many comments on her posts were spammed with phrases like "Stalia ❤️," a combination of their names. It became clear to her that this rumor had captured everyone's attention. So, she decided to arrange a meeting with Stan, with the intention of addressing the situation.

Stan and his manager, Ravi, were in his room, smoking and drinking. When Ravi received the call from Alia, he informed Stan about it. Stan wasn't sure why she wanted to meet, but he agreed nonetheless, intrigued by the invitation.

Stan finished his drink and stubbed out his cigarette, his curiosity piqued by Alia's sudden interest in meeting him. He couldn't help but wonder what she had in mind.

The following day, Alia arrived at the meeting place, a quaint coffee shop in South Mumbai. She wore an olive shirt and khaki shorts. Simple yet hot without any effort.

Stan in his quirky look entered the coffee shop a few minutes later, his eyes scanning the room until they met Alia's. He look at those legs for a moment and how short were her shorts. Man in the shop was unaware of both.

"Hi," Alia greeted with a warm smile, gesturing for Stan to take a seat.

Stan sat down, a mix of excitement and nervousness bubbling inside him. "Hey, Alia. Thanks for wanting to meet. I was quite curious about what this was all about," he said, his voice tinged with intrigue.

Alia took a deep breath, gathering her thoughts before speaking. "You are aware about the rumor right. I've been thinking about the impact this rumor is having on the world," she began, her eyes locking with Stan's. "It's clear that people are captivated by the idea of us being together, even though it's not true."

Stan nodded, his curiosity growing with every word Alia uttered.

"I've come to realize that we have the power to shape this narrative, to use it to our advantage," Alia continued, her voice laced with determination. "What if we turn this rumor into something more than just gossip? What if we appear at places together and just give a glimpse to the media about it?"

Stan's eyes widened, his mind racing with possibilities. The idea of being with her excited him to no end.

"You mean, like a couple or something?" Stan asked, his voice filled with enthusiasm.

Alia nodded, "Yes, exactly! We can create this illusion of a couple, and let the world's imagination run wild. It will keep them hooked and guessing," Alia explained, her words resonating with conviction.

Stan leaned forward, his interest piqued. "And what do we gain from it? Apart from the media attention, I mean," he inquired, wanting to understand the motive behind Alia's proposal.

Alia smiled, her gaze unwavering. "Think about it, Stan. This rumor has already garnered so much attention and interest. If we play along, we can leverage that fame and create a buzz around ourselves."

Stan contemplated her words, realizing the potential advantages of embracing the rumor. The thought of their names becoming even more prominent in the industry excited him.

"I'm in," Stan declared, a mischievous grin forming on his face.

"So how do we start on this?" alia asked him.

He glanced at her in confusion, even though it was her idea, she still questioned him.

"Naachte hai bahar jaake sab dekh lenge," Stan said to himself, but Alia heard it.

"Kya?" she laughed loudly. "Kuch nahi," he embarrassingly nodded.

They started discussing how they could appear together in the real world. Alia came up with nonsensical ideas, while Stan's ideas seemed kind of weird in the real world. Suddenly, Stan noticed a man in the shop taking their picture and he signaled to Alia about it.

"Counter pe aadmi humari photo le raha hai. Main usse bol ke aaya," he informed her and got up.

As he moved towards the shop manager, Alia had an insight. "Stan," she called him loudly and pointed for him to come back.

He quickly returned. Alia spoke in a low voice, "Usko photo nikalne do. Phir ye humare plan me useful hoga."

Stan understood her and sat back down. They talked about songs and music, wrapping up their meeting. They paid the bill and walked out.

Stan let her walk out first not being a gentleman, because he wanted to check out her ass. Her perfect curves in those shorts and those milky legs were enough to gaze at.

"Bye," she turned around with a smile as she reached for the car door.

"Bye," he waved back.

As he arrived home, the photo of their meeting was circulating on all media platforms. Alia also messaged him about the photo. He looked at it and couldn't help but notice what an odd couple they made. She looked so refined and he seemed like he was from a completely different world, or at least a different country.

But then the image of her in those shorts flashed in his mind again, and an uncontrollable desire began to stir within him. He went to his room, drop his pants, took his phone out and look at her picture. Thinking of her shorts and perfect ass he stroke his cock. Slowly at first and then uncontrollable thinking of shoving his rod into her white ass. Pressing her boobs and fucking her. He dropped the phone onto his bed and lay down. Wishing this all gets true someday.
