kissing and rolling around on the grass until he was on top of me. A feeling of intense love overwhelmed me, almost taking my breath away. I took off his shirt, gazed into his eyes and whispered, “I love you David.”
He smiled down at me, his eyes held the same intense emotion that I was feeling. “Katie,” he whispered. “You are my life, my love, my joy.”
I woke up with a start. Half asleep, I glanced around at my surroundings. I was still on the couch with Lucas’ arms around me. I could hear his heavy breathing behind me. The TV was black; the movie must have ended, and shut off on its own.
“My love, my joy,” Lucas whispered in his sleep.
Those were the same words I just heard in my dreams. Was he having the same one? How is that possible? This was getting spooky. Should I tell him that we were having the same dream? What did it mean? My head was full of questions and absolutely no answers as I glanced around the room. My eyes widened when I saw the red numbers on my digital clock radio, it was three am.
I stood up, and slipped out into the hall. The house was quiet, my parents and brother were in bed. I can’t believe my father didn’t wake us. I thought about leaving Lucas sleeping, he looked so peaceful, but I was sure his mother would be worried if he didn’t come home.
Shaking his shoulder, I whispered in his ear, “Lucas.”
He jumped up onto his feet with a bewildered look on his face. I laughed; I couldn’t help it, he looked so comical, his eyes were wide, and his head was bobbing around. “Holy shit, I fell asleep.” He rubbed his hands over his face. “Your dad is going to kill me.”
I reached up to stroke his shoulders, trying to soothe him. “Relax, I fell asleep too. He must have checked on us when they went to bed. I don’t understand why they didn’t wake us up though. I wanted to let you sleep, but I figured your mom would be worried.”
He looked over at the clock and frowned. “Yeah she will be. I’d better go.” He bent down to kiss me softly. “So I guess we slept together. Was it good for you?” he said with a grin.
I gave him a shove, knocking him off balance.
He laughed. “I’m awake now, walk me down? So you can lock the door behind me.”
I kissed him goodbye in front of the open door. “See you tomorrow, I’ll try to call you from work,” he called over his shoulder as he stepped through the doorway.
I turned the lock and peeked out the small window, watching his car pull away before I went back upstairs.
“So he’s just leaving now?” my dad asked, standing in front of my bedroom door. He had bed head and was wearing his red plaid flannel robe.
“What are you doing awake? I just peeked in your room, you and mom were sleeping.”
“I woke up when I heard you going downstairs. I looked in on you when we went to bed at midnight, and you were sleeping, so I wanted to check every few hours to make sure that’s all you were doing.”
“Why didn’t you just wake us up?”
“I didn’t want you to think I don’t trust you.”
I raised an eyebrow, his actions earlier told me differently.
His forehead creased. “Honey, your mother had a rather long chat with me about my behavior tonight. I do trust you, but I’m not used to you having a boyfriend. Those others guy’s you dated didn’t mean anything to you. I knew that, so when I saw how serious you and Lucas seemed to be tonight, I panicked. But I’m over it. Okay?”
Leaning up, I kissed him on the cheek. “Okay, goodnight dad.”
He grunted, heading back to his room and I went in mine.
I lay on my bed wondering if Lucas made it home yet, replaying the dream in my mind, the memory of how I felt as I gazed into the dream Lucas’ eyes shocked me. I have never felt such a strong emotion and didn’t realize it was possible. It was strange how strong the feeling toward him was, since I haven’t known him that long. The odd thing was, although I liked Lucas a lot, more than I thought possible, my feelings were no where near as strong as they were in the dream. Not yet anyway. My phone beeped, waking me from my thoughts.
I leaned over and picked it up off my nightstand. It read: ‘I’m home, see you tomorrow. Luke.’
The next morning, after my shower, I did my homework. There wasn’t much, since I skipped my last two classes on Friday. My mother hadn’t mentioned it all weekend. I hoped that meant she had forgotten, but I knew that I wouldn’t get that lucky.
I went downstairs to have some cereal. The smell of bacon changed my mind.
“So what’s up for today?” my mother asked me from the kitchen table. My parents were having their breakfast, and reading the paper.
“Not much, but tonight I’m going to the movies with Lucas.”
She smiled, tucking her disheveled hair behind her ear. “Did you do your homework?”
“Yes, I just finished it before I came down.”
“Don’t be out too late, you have school tomorrow.” She took a bite of her toast.
“I know mom, don’t worry about it. Hey dad, are you feeling better than you were last night?” I asked, grinning at him. There was a plate of bacon and eggs, sitting on the counter, I picked it up and sat down with my parents.
“Yes. I told you that I’d work on it. But just don’t stay out until three am, Okay.”
I laughed. “I’ll try.”
“Emma called, when you were in the shower,” my mom said, getting up from the table, to putt her dishes in the dishwasher.
“Okay thanks, I’ll call her when I finish breakfast.”
“Hey what are we doing today?” Emma asked, once I returned to my room and called her.
“Why, what’s up with Derrick?”
“Ugh…he’s stuck visiting his Aunt for the day. I’m bored; please tell me Lucas is working so you can hang out with me.” I could hear a familiar buzzing sound on Emma’s end of the line, and I knew it was her cat freckles purring. I could picture her sprawled back on her pillows with her legs lifted up against the wall, and her very overweight cat laying on the pillow beside her.
“Lucas is working, so I can hang out with you?”
“Really? Damn I’m good. What else will you do if I tell you to?”
“Nothing. How about lunch, I’m buying.”
“Ooh, I knew there was a reason we were friends. Okay since you’re buying, I’ll drive. I’ll pick you up in twenty minutes.”
“Sure, I’ll meet you out front.” I hung up, rushed into the washroom. I didn’t have a chance to tell her where I wanted to go.
