Dreaming of You
The Talk
My heart beat into my ears and my blood rushed into my head, this was too much for one day. First, I learned that Alex really did dream of me too. Then I learn he really wants me, I mean he had his hands on me the entire time. I never thought I’d feel his hands on me, for real.
Jack smiled politely, maybe this isn't bad. I hate talking to people. I mean Alex is one thing, we have been kind of talking for a long time but Jack? Jack is the best friend. Jack was going to question me on my authenticity. What am I supposed to say, I'm getting dizzy.
"I just want to talk, please don't throw up" He said, coming to sit by me. I eased a bit.
"sorry" I mumbled.
"Don't be" He said, I looked at him and he was smiling wide.
"I'm just nervous" I admitted.
"Look, Serenity you seem...perfect for Alex. A gal like you will help him out a bit. I just want to make sure you’re the real deal. I mean I don't want another...girl like his ex. I'm just going to ask you a few questions and then you can go ahead with him. I'm just being a friend, I'm sure you would do the same" Jack said. His tone was easy and calming. He seemed so level headed.
"Okay then, ask away" I said giggling. crap. I'm awkward.
"What is the name of Alex's ex?" He asked.
"Sara" I answered confidently.
"Alright, why is Sara an issue for Alex?" Jack asked. I scanned my brain.
"Sara shows up and takes money and it hurts Alex because he still has feelings for her" I answered. I hope I'm passing his tests.
"What do you know about Alex's brother?" He asked, I could hear a bit of straining his voice.
"Jack, I really hope I'm passing your test but the only thing I know about his brother is that he died, and Alex said it’s not something up for discussion" I admitted. If I want this to work, I got to not be shy and get it over with.
"That is all you know?" He asked again.
"yes" I said sternly.
"Did you dream of Alex in any sexual way" Jack asked. My face got hot, I could imagine how red I am. I put my head in my hands and sighed loudly. When I raised my head again there was slight tears of embarrassment welling up.
"No, never. I have never had a boyfriend and certainly never had sexual dreams. I don't know what I would even do" I said, shaking my head a bit. Jack smiled cutely and placed his arm around me and pulled me to his chest laughing. I felt slightly uncomfortable.
"You pass miss. Serenity. Alex said you were innocent, so I was seeing for myself. Just promise me something. Don't hurt him. I can't even get the kid to tell me if he has a bad day. I'm happy that he has someone to talk to, even if it’s not me. I did give him a hard time because I thought, I thought you weren't real" He blushed a bit.
"Thank you Jack, I'll never hurt him. I pinky swear" I said confidently, I backed away from him and held out my pinky. Jack raised his eyebrows and laughed.
"Yep, this is going to be good for him" Jack said, locking pinkies with me.
I did not know where this was going, I know he is real, I know he is into me, I know it’s crazy and I know how I feel for him. The rest is all a mess that I hope we can figure it out. What am I getting into?
