Chapter 23: Dreams
The atmosphere in the room turned ambiguous as Talia’s hold on Arthur’s neck tightened and slowly but surely she pulled him closer. Her strength wasn’t that great making Arthur wonder if she is truly awake or not but as her alluring misty eyes got closer he couldn’t help but give in and closed his eyes.
Talia on the other hand, was having one of her dreams but this time this was so vivid, she could feel even his breath on her. In her dream, Arthur was kneeling in front of her with a ring. She couldn’t see the ring but who cares what kind of ring it was? If it was him in front of her, she’d accept even a candy ring!
But he said something she couldn’t make of and she could feel the ring in her finger and she felt happy. So happy she wanted to hug him close.
So she did.
But... She wanted more. She wanted to touch him more. This was a dream and she could do whatever she wants. Maybe because she saw him earlier that day, he was not a teenager in her dream but a strong, chiseled, handsome man.
No one’s going to know! Especially him.
Her long curled eyelashes touched his eyelid at the same time her moist lips touched his. She felt the same zing she felt when they first kissed. It is just a dream but only he could give her this feeling even when he wasn’t there.
But it wasn’t enough for her and she went for more. It felt so real as the man she was holding felt hot with his breathing heavy and she could feel his heart beating rapidly through her hand holding his back.
Fred... My Freddy bear... My love...
I love you.
But... I can’t be with you.
