Broken Dreams

Chapter Five- Hard Days Work

~Lillian's Pov~

The day of my 18th birthday never leaves my head. That was 2 years ago. It has the best memories I've made but also the worst. Finding out my father died trying to save me. And that he still talks to me to this day in my head. I'm not sure if it's really him, I'm not sure what to believe anymore. My mom got fired from her old job. She was a maid for some rich guy, He said she wasn't up to his standards anymore. He was paying her well and she worked for him for like 16 years. My mother isn't getting any younger so finding a job may be a little difficult. I plan to try to help because it's just me and her. Hopefully I can get a job for her sake.

Leo and I have gotten closer and started dating. About a year ago. He never leaves my side, wherever I go he goes. It gets kinda annoying sometimes. We get along pretty well besides that. The weird thing is that I keep getting dreams with him and we tell each other about the dreams. It's almost like we can live a completely different life in these dreams. I thought they would have stopped after I figured out about my father.

This small town seems like it's getting smaller. People keep going missing or keep getting weird unexpected deaths from drowning. Most people nowadays stay away from the ocean. Everyone is just too scared. My friends aren't really scared of it though. We think, well they think it's a great opportunity to get drunk on the beach. Only because no one will be there, I don't agree with this but they persuaded me to go with them. Leo is also coming. The only time when he isn't by me is when he is at work. He does one of the most dangerous jobs he could have gotten. He builds buildings and does construction stuff. I don't like seeing him go to work knowing there is a high risk he could get extremely injured or could even die. He reassures me that he'll be okay, but I'm still afraid.

My friends and I plan to go to the beach tomorrow. I'm going to bring myself blankets and towels, For Leo and I to share. It's going to be dark so I'm going to bring some lanterns as well. Leo is currently over at my house. Sitting on the couch watching the television. I'm pretty sure that he is watching The Golden Girls. It's about 5:30 so he just got off of work. He looked like he was starting to drift off, probably a hard day today.

From the kitchen I grab a glass of water and chicken and broccoli. I walk over to the couch and set the food and water on the table.

Speaking softly to him I say, "You should eat, You must be hungry."

He smiles at me. " Where is your plate?" He asks in a gloomy filled tone.

"I already ate Darling, no need to stress about me." I smile at him, lightly kissing his warm forehead.

While he eats I watch while I lean on his shoulder, and sigh. Once he's completely finished with his food I went to stand up and bring his dishes to the sink. Before I could start walking he grabbed me by my hips and sat me on his lap. Wrapping his arms around my waist. As I try to wiggle out of his grip I feel him kissing my neck gently. I sigh in relief as he starts rubbing my hips gently. His hands started to snake up my shirt and I arched my back slightly.

"Leo we can't do this.. Not here.." I say quietly.

Leo kisses my neck once more and just wraps his arms around me hugging me from behind. He whispers to me, his face buried in my neck, still audible. "Whenever you're ready... I'll be ready.."

It's about 6:15 now. He is tired. I know he is. We lay down on the couch, Him spooning me while his warm breath hits my neck. Slowly But surely we both drift off to a deep sleep.
