Two more days.
I can’t wait.
Aaron places a soft, sensual kiss on my lips that’s quickly followed by a steamier one. His tongue delves deeply into my mouth. My heart flutters then soars. He pulls back, and I rest my head against his shoulder, then one big arm wraps around me, pulling me tighter.
“I’m so happy,” I whisper.
“Me too, Beautiful. I’m happy we finally figured us out.”
I sniffle back tears. “I missed you so much. It feels so good to finally be back together.”
He smiles at me and kisses my nose. Then my lips.
His hands roam my body as his gorgeous brown eyes lock on mine.
I’m filled with safety. And peace.
I finally feel like I’m home.
And then…
Some annoying song starts playing.
My eyes flash open and I sit up straight in bed.
It was all a dream.
I slam my hand on my phone to silence the obnoxious song I chose for my alarm. Then tears flood my eyes. It was just a dream. Maybe the cruelest dream I’ve ever had. It’s not fucking fair.
My head drops into my hands as my chest shakes, pain flooding every corner of my body. That dream is everything I’ve wanted. It’s all I’ve wanted for so long. It’s everything I don’t have. I miss him. I want him. I want us. And it hurts. Everything freaking hurts.
I was doing so damn well. I was freaking excited. Now everything feels wrong again.Why now?Was it because he walked me home last night? And now I’m supposed to meet up with everyone for breakfast. Including Aaron. We’re planning for the trip tomorrow.
Charleston.
My phone alarm screams at me again, because why not? I smash it angrily and rub my face.
Shit.
How am I going to sit through breakfast with him when I feel like this?
I don’t think I should.
I’m learning that dealing with him when I’m emotionally charged or overwhelmed always ends poorly.
It’s a bad idea.
And I need time. Time to process this dream. Because I don’t want to feel like this when we get there tomorrow. I refuse to feel likethisin Charleston.
I grab my phone and open our group text.
Me: Hey guys. I’m not feeling great this morning. Need a little more sleep. Let me know if I miss anything major. Sarah, you get to vote for me if needed.
Sarah: Aye-aye, Rae baby. I’ll bring you a cinnamon roll.
Me: You’re the best.
Joelskies: Rude that she gets your vote. But fine. Talk later.
