When A Dream Becomes Reality

When A Dream Becomes Reality Part 1

   Another beautiful day in Arkansas. I moved here during high school because my mom got a new job. Since then, my mother and father got a divorce, then my father left the state after finding out I was bi-sexual. I've since graduated high school, but finding a job, and a social life has been hard, hard to the point where I gave up on both. But enough about that, today was the day I was going to go stay with my best friend Jamie and her family.

   I packed up my things, taking a train to her house. When I got to the train station, Jamie, her son Stuart, her daughter-in-law Savannah, and her grandson Caiden were all there waiting for me. We loaded up the car, then headed back to their place, where they had one room left that I could stay in. It was a tiny little room just big enough for one person. I left my luggage in the bedroom, then went out to be with everyone else.

   When I got to the living room, I got there just in time to see Jamie going after Caiden, who was trying to get inside the oven! She pulled him away just in time, brought him to the living room, sitting him on the couch, telling him not to move, which lasted about two seconds, then he got up, racing down the hall giggling. It took Jamie three tries to get Caiden to stay on the couch, but she eventually got him to sit still.

   I didn't get to talk to Jamie much, because she was getting ready to go out on a date with a new guy she met. It wasn't one of those dates that was going to be super private, but even though both she and her date invited me to tag along, I didn't feel like it, I just didn't feel like it would be a good idea to join them, since being in social settings always ended in disaster, so they went on, then Savannah and Stuart told me they were going out, so they asked me to watch Caiden while they were away. I could tell I was going to have my work cut out for me.

   No sooner did everybody leave, I turned to put my attention on Caiden, and right off the bat, Caiden threw a toy at me, nailing me right between the eyes! I tried to put him in time out for it, but he wasn't having it. Then, he ran to the kitchen, climbed up on the counter, then turned the faucet on, so I had to stop that before the kitchen flooded. I couldn't wait for 8pm to come, so I could put him to bed. Before that could happen, he ran back to the kitchen again, got into the trash can, started throwing trash everywhere, giggling like a madman! While I was picking up the trash he threw everywhere, He got in the fridge, then closed himself inside, refusing to come out!

   Finally, 8pm came! I went to Caiden's room, grabbed his pajamas, then tried putting them on him, but he squirmed so much, that was easier said than done, but I finally managed to get them on him. Thankfully though, by the time I got his pajamas on him, he looked like he was finally slowing down, so I picked him up, carried him to his room, then put him to bed, where thankfully, he fell asleep easily.

   Not long after I got Caiden to bed, everyone came back from their dates. Savannah and Stuart asked me how things went, I had to tell them the truth, even though I hated getting Caiden in trouble. Savannah told me she would have a talk with Caiden in the morning, then she and Stuart went to bed. Meanwhile, Jamie and I talked about how her date went. She told me I should have gone with them, because there were a lot of cute guys at the club they went to.

   We talked until about 1am, then both Jamie and I went to bed. That night, as I began drifting off, I started to have this dream. In the dream, I saw this guy that wouldn't take his eyes off me. He looked to be about 6'4", and around 280-285 pounds, having short black hair, and a beard that he kept well groomed. I remember him coming close to me, hovering over me due to me being rather short, then he smiled at me putting a hand on my shoulder.

   Before I woke up from the dream, I heard him say, "Why didn't you come? I want to meet you."

   I wanted to believe this was a sign, but with all the bad luck I had dating, I just passed it off as a random dream. In the morning however, I would tell Jamie about my dream, where she would tell me something about the club she went to, that I wouldn't expect, and would throw me for a complete loop!
