A nightmare within a dream by Marwa Kodmany (the best e book reader txt) 📕

Chapter two:

Its 8:30 pm .We left her building heading down the stairs; she was wearing a red mini dress with a black ribbon on her neck.  Suddenly Mila stopped me:

 “ I have a surprise for you! Marlino!” said Mila standing on my way!

 “Yeah!” I said when I got across her!

“There will be a ride for us today! You are gonna feel like a princess Marli!” said Mila as she opened the building Steel door and bowed.

“What that supposed to mean??” I said when I found an old man standing out of the building. He smiled the moment he saw Mila coming out!

“This is Taylor!” said Mila

“And who is he!?” I asked in surprise! On the Phone she told me that she is in love with a young man called Ethan! Not a Taylor!!!!!

“This is our Chauffeur to the Party tonight!!!” said Mila in a silly French-English accent.

“Bonsoir Mademoiselles!!” said the driver! Then he opened the car door! I guess it’s not just an ordinary car!! it’s Mercedes!! This girl is totally spoiled! Now I know that the rich Boyfriend is a privilege.

“So?”

“So what!!” I said looking at the road through the window! “I don’t feel boring but I feel like nothing feels the same.”

“mmmm three “feel” in one sentence !! You really need to put on a smile because tonight you are gonna meet some man. It’s Jay!” she giggled.

“Jay?? You fixed me a date?!”

“It’s ok! He is my friend! Jay Kruk! He is Jenna’s bother, good-looking surgeon with a great future. He is single for now!!”

“Kruk!? Is he German!?” I asked “Wait!!! Are you insane!!? Did you tell him about me?!?!  When did you start working as a match maker!? Believe me! After last night!! errrW<w<” i="" flushed!<="" p="">

“No! Last night?!?!” her eyes narrowed

“yeah! I had a nightmare or I don’t know! What was it?!!? About a guy killing me!!! But the weird thing about it was that I felt something as If I have fallen for him somehow that I didn’t resist him killing me!!”

“Do you know him??? I know that we don’t see strangers in our dreams! We have probably met them at some point of our lives! But the part that you have feelings for him!!!! That what concerns me!! Marline you really need to meet someone!!! That’s not fair!” she said tapping on my shoulder as if she was the elder sister giving advices!! Why in hell I would bother myself telling her anyway!!

“Here we are Mademoiselles, arrived safe and soundly!!” said the driver

“Oh my God!  He was here the whole conversation! Listening!!?” I asked shyly

“heheheh it’s ok! He is nice!” she fell down laughing when Taylor opened the door for her to get off!!!

As soon as I opened the door, He scuttled to reach my side but the funny part was he held my hand and said: “Don’t give up!! You are such a beautiful lady. Just wait for what you deserve! Please excuse my intervention!”

“Thank you! That’s so kind of you” I beamed timidly.

We entered the villa! It was a huge one of a kind, a place full of guards, cars and people, a great amount of guests just arriving at the same time. The moment we got in, one of the maids recognized Mila and ran in to us!

“Miss. Underwood! Oh come on in! Boss has asked for you like a million times!!  Follow me please” said the red head maid. The other blond maid who was as a pretty as the last one asked me for my jacket! I was totally taking by surprise!

Mila was fitted in, she was in her own place actually almost everyone recognizes her. We kept following the maid or Mila who was very familiar with the manor. Then we reached out a big entrance gate to the reception where the party is on. The red head maid looked at me and gave me a surprising suppressed smile while she was opening the gate! As she opened it! I felt something weird!! Getting in to a new dimension! A new whole world full of sophisticated people where it’s hard to maintain sanity!

“Ethaaaaan!” Mila called out the two guys in tuxedo, laughing next to the buffet! That moment!!  The moment when the tall black-haired guy turned to answer Mila! The same exact time my heart rate started to accelerate and decided on a retirement. Those blue big eyes of last night! The pretty face of a man hacked my dream yesterday. Is it real world! Or the hallucination just took over my head!! Ethan!! It is him!!! What about Jay! Why she called you Ethan!?!? His smile was covered swiftly with surprise!! What is that? He is looking at me constantly Oh my God!. She came closer to him while his mouth was dropped open, gazing at me ever more. The other handsome guy turned to meet my overwhelmed look!  Tracking my moves as Mila kissed Ethan on his cheek!

“Guys I want you to meet someone special! This is my sister Marline!!” said Mila and let me get closer to introduce myself. Why this guy is off! He is so surprised!! Do I look that bad!!!!

“Hi Marl,ine,,” said Ethan when he raised his hand to shake mine! He was confused, penetrating my face with his blue eyes. Our hands meet! Oh my God! I’m going mad!!!

“Hi” I said with my eyes wide open. Why do I have to flush!! Please don’t get rosy Marline!!!!

“Do you guys know each other?!?! Am I missing something here!!?” asked Mila. When I rushed to say “ yes,,,No!”

The same moment he said: “ No! yes!!”

“no” “ no” we both met each other’s gaze. Our hands still stuck together.

Mila laughed out loud hysterically and grabbed Jay’s wrist introducing him to me as prince charming! I assumed that She was sending a hidden msg!( stay away from my man this is yours!!) hehehe I smiled to the idea!

“ Jay” “Marline” “Marline” “ Jay”

Wow! How fast can be!!! She took Ethan who finally loosed my hand and let he go with her to pick a drink or something. she winked me!!! Ethan is far. Now calm down!!! What the hell is this!!!? Why did I see him last night!!?? Why was he too surprised and shocked!? He couldn’t stop it!!! That what actually got me paralyzed.

“So hey!!” said Jay, the man who I forgot standing in front of me while I was lost in my infinite conversation with myself.

“Hey!! Jus,, jay!!”

“Yes!! Puzzled lady!! Nice to meet you Marline”

“ Nice to meet you!

“So?”

“ So what do you do in life?” I said looking around searching for Mila.

“I’m a surgeon! You?”

“I’m a writer! Actually I’m working on a new book! And I used to be a journalist for the Time magazine after graduation”

“NYU? Interesting!!” he said and a naughty smirk just drawn on his face.

“How did you know?!?!” I asked piercing my purse.

 “A Lucky guess! By the way if you are looking for Mila she is right there!!” he said awkwardly while he was pointing at Ethan and Mila who were looking back at us. Mila smiled but Ethan was wearing a dead expression.

“Me! No!! You know what? I really need to use the bathroom! Can you show me where I can find it!??” I murmured.

“heheh!! You know what? I haven’t thought in a million that you would be Mila’s elder sister?!?” he laughed

“What do you mean by this doc? I’m asking where I can find the ladies restroom. It’s a simple question. What’s wrong about it?!”

“Ok ok! I didn’t mean anything! Don’t bite me Marline!! Go straight to the lobby on your left hand!! The ladies restroom is on the right!! If you got lost ask the maids. They will show you the way!” I was looking at him when he was talking then suddenly he caught my look and smiled interrupting my thoughts “Don’t get confused with the kitchen!”

“hehehhe this is how you talk to someone has just met you!??!” I giggled

“Yeah! If this “someone” has your smile and talks quite like you. Why not!?” said Jay

I gave him a dead smile and left him looking at me getting lost in this one big house!! I looked around while I was heading to the lobby; there were no trace for Ethan! Ok going to left now what?!?!

Suddenly I heard a voice!! A familiar voice actually! Coming out of a room somewhere, I tried to follow the echo then I found out that’s Ethan’s, but why is he angry!? I got closer! Now it’s clearer! He was scolding some maids:

“You are telling me now!! That you don’t know where the rings are!! So what!?!? I put them yesterday in the Mrs.Christensen’s room! They vanished!! Just like that!! You are all suspended for the week!” said super furious Ethan and they are all gone through the front door of the kitchen.

Rings!! What rings?? Oh my God!! What is the theme of the party!?!? He is going to propose to my sister!!!! Mila!! That bad feeling has crossed my chest, made my heart stop!

 I Got in hesitatingly and I really don’t  know what I’m doing but I’m gonna follow some common sense I feel. Nothing seems impossible for me anymore since I see strangers in my dreams lately. It was some kind of maid’s kitchen!! Holy God!! That’s the place!!! It’s here where he killed me!!! Or he seemed killing me. I guess it’s where they have their meals!. I’m just thrilled! I‘ve never been in here my whole life and I can recall the tiny details! There were a table in the middle and 4 chairs around; the fridge was at the same place!! Nothing changed since yesterday!!!

On the spur of the moment! Here! In a situation I have never thought I would experience! I sensed a hand on my shoulder just right behind me!!!!!

 “So!!!! ??”  Ethan whispered so soft in my ears!.

 I turned around, but in a fast move, He grasped me so tightly and pulled me to his giant body! What is he doing for God sake!! Now! My heart is gonna explode in a minute or another!!

 “What?” I murmured

“You have a face that is hard to forget!!” said Ethan

“Loose me please!!” I said in my head I just couldn’t resist his odor near me.

“There are two odds:  you and your sister ridiculously look alike, and I seriously hate this, or I’m on the verge of madness!!”

“Ok!!! Can you just loose me!!! I can’t breathe! Are you out of your mind!?! You are looking for some rings for your proposal tonight!! And you are hitting on me like that?!?!”  I don’t know why I said that but I wanted anything could take his attention off. It’s so awkward to be seen like that!!

“I’m not hitting on you!!” he pushed me away.

“yes!!!”

“ no!!!”

“ Yes!!!” God!! Why am I arguing for non- sense??? The man that I was thinking about the whole day was just holding me in his kitchen! And I’m having a fight with him!!

“NO!!!” he came closer!! No!! Keep distance! Then I ran away to the lobby!! “Please go away!”

I left him there looking at me! I can’t believe what has just happened! I managed to find my way to the bathroom! I re did my makeup and fixed my hair after that sudden attack! He overwhelmed my world since yesterday I can’t remove that figure out of mind! I can see him in every corner!!

I noticed jay coming towards me! Smiling! He is so cute! But I was so confused to appreciate his attention!
