My dreams are confusing, I don't dream of men in cagiest as I always do no I dream of Strix as we were tonight only it different almost like a different time. I dream of children laughing and playing a girl and two boys. I sit up in bed with a gasp as I wake up.
"Mommy" I hear looking in the corner of the room the little girl from my dream sits there. Her hair like mine black and long down her back, she wears a blue dress that looks to be from a time long ago. Holding onto a little rag doll she fades away into the shadows.
"Strix" I yell out swing my hand back hitting his arm "Strix" I call again
"What," he asked "What's wrong" he sits up beside me
"Did you see her?" I ask trying to find the little girl that was just there
"See who baby," he asked
I look at him my breathing is labored "The little girl, she was in the corner"
"There's no one there Valentine" he soothes me pulling me into his arms
"She was in my dreams than when I opened my eyes. I thought, I thought I saw her. I thought I heard her" I look up at him as tears come to my eyes I didn't even know why I was crying "She was crying for her mommy, she called me mommy" I bury my face in his chest
"Ok it's ok, I got you" I can feel him looking around the room "Why don't you get a shower," he tells me "And I'll go make us a bite to eat"
"What time is it," I ask him
He smiles "It's eight o'clock in the morning"
I whip my eyes as I pull away "Ok, but I don't have any clean clothes"
"There are some in the closet," he tells me
"Why do you have women clothe?" I ask getting up with the sheet wrapped around me
"They belong to my wife," he tells me honestly
"Your wife, you're married" I yell out stepping back from the bed
"Valentine listen to me" he starts
"Is that why only a week is your wife going to be home at the end of the week"
"Valentine please" he gets up coming toward me
"I can't believe I slept with a married man" I start to hyperventilate
"Valentine you don't understand"
"I understand you cheated on your wife"
"No never" he shouts and I flinch "She's not really here" and his sounds so sad when he says it so mournful.
The sheet falls to my feet as I go to him throwing my arms around him "I'm so sorry Strix" I whisper realizing that his wife must have passed away "I didn't know"
He wraps his arms around me "It's fine" he tells me soothing me "Just don't go"
I smile "I'm not" I look up at him "But I would like a shower"
Leaning down he kisses my lips softly "Then I will leave you to it then" he tells me beaning to kiss me once again
He leaves me standing there and I realize that I was standing naked in front of a naked man and neither one of us jumped the other. Not that I didn't want to and I knew Strix wanted to, but I felt comfortable with him standing nude. I didn't know what it meant, standing there a while I bite my lip just thinking, Then go to the closet or what I think is the closet and I am right thankfully.
I open up a closet full of nothing but dresses, the only thing was they were all outdated. I didn't want to hurt Strix's feelings so I pick out a nice sundress that doesn't look too bad and head to the bathroom.
