Dreams

Stevie felt the warm glow of the morning sun through the thin white curtains of their apartment before she even opened her eyes. She kept them closed, attempting to grasp onto the dream she had been having the night before. It was wonderful, she had dreamt of a future for Lindsey and herself becoming famous. Even being recognized and invited into a band. Stevie craved that. She craved to have people hear her creations, their creations, and she craved every gig, as every cent went back towards their next meal, or even the roof over their heads. She wasn't unhappy, she was probably unsatisfied to say the least. But in that moment, in her dream, even as the memory of it faded farther away and was replaced with the sun's rays, she was very content. Stevie wanted nothing more than to just lay there and embrace everything that could happen for them. She would make it happen someday. For him at least.

She sighed faintly and began to roll gently onto her side towards the window, eyes still shut tight, trying not to disturb the man beside her. Her sight may have been be blocked, but all of her other senses reminded her of the sleeping Lindsey mere inches from herself. His patterned breathing kept a steady rhythm that pleased her ears and informed her mind that he was still sound asleep. He was so peaceful. In another swift motion she brought her knees to her chest and attempted to return to the dream she had loved so much.

That's when the pattern was interrupted. She woke him. Even though she had tried not to, she couldn't help but curl her mouth into a smile. Suddenly, if not for paying attention she may not have felt it, there were feather-light kisses being placed at the base of her neck, which quickly travelled to her shoulder and continued down the side of her body (clearly beginning to take his time). Stevie sighed happily as she remembered the previous nights actions, feeling skin on skin, and a friendly reminder that they were still quite naked. Her body ached from the night before, but more importantly she ached for him now.

The kisses ceased as soon as he reached her left hip, since she was still facing away from him. He kissed her once more there, watching her every move as her body quivered under their touch, he exhaled and the action sent goosebumps up her entire body. He loved what he did to her. Lindsey crept up towards her ear, brushing back her golden locks and biting the lobe gently before he spoke.

"How long have you been awake?"

"Not very long," His hands had begun their search now, following her curves, caressing her. It was very hard to concentrate. "I had a wonderful dream, Lindsey."

"I hope it was about me?" He chuckled slightly, the sound was music to her ears.

She turned onto her back and into his waiting embrace, brown eyes finally opening to search his blue.

"We finally made it, Linds." She smiled sadly.

"Did we, baby?" He was hovering over her now, his one arm behind her head, the other hand going lower. "I had a dream too, Steph."

"Hmm?.." Her head had become clouded, and her breathing rougher as he began to stroke her gently, moving closer between her legs. "...what about?"

"You and me...last night.."

She bit her lower lip and giggled slightly, realizing just how much they were still teenagers. Especially in their current situation. She loved it.

"It can't really have been a dream if I still ache all over, I...oh Lindsey.."

Her voice began to fade and she let out a low moan when Lindsey placed two delicate fingers inside her, not so delicately.

"I hope....dreams can repeat themselves, in this case.." She arched her back, gently moving to a steeper rhythm that Lindsey set in place.

"Stephanie, shh...let go...I love you.." He whispered softly, watching her eyes fall shut, he knew she was close, and as Stevie reached her climax he leaned in and kissed her, absorbing the moan that escaped, leaving a quiet whimper on her lips. Lindsey craved these moments, just to hear the sounds he could make her create.

He held her close until she caught her breath and came to her senses. When she did, her head rose to squint at the clock across from their mattress.

"Lindsey what time is it?"

"Time for a third round?" He replied lazily which resulted in a playful jab to his ribs

"No seriously," she sat up "oh my god!" She flew out of bed and began searching for her uniform, slightly weak in the knees from the past five minutes. Her slight stumble made Lindsey smile once again, admiring the woman he loved before him.

"Lindsey, it's nearly 10, im going to be late!!" Her alarmed expression made him stifle his calm one and he rose slowly to a sitting position as she hurried around him, fully dressed, she threw open the door and he spoke once more.

"Stevie."

Her eyes fell upon him and the whole world seemed to stop. Even flushed and exhausted, she was so beautiful.

"Hmm?"

"I love you so much."

She grinned enormously and ran over to him, placing two tiny hands to frame his face as she kissed him gently. Returning to look into his eyes and smoothing back his thick curls, ruffling them.

"I'll be back soon."

She let go of his face and flew from their apartment as Lindsey's smile faded, and returned once more as his gaze fell onto his guitar.

They had big dreams.
