By 5 pm the kids are home, I hear them running toward the pool. I get up from my lounge chair and hold my hands out waiting for them to run into my arms, I miss by babies so much!!! "I missed you guys so much" I say while holding them into my arms.
"We're so glad you are home Taylor, we missed you too" Abby says.
"I made a gift for you, for your birthday" Tom says.
Abby holds my left hand and looks at my ring and says, "your ring is so beautiful, I am so happy for you sis."
I see her eyes filled with tears and I hold her in my arms as we both started crying.
"Noah loves you so much Taylor. He told Tom and me that he was going to propose, and he showed us the ring. He was so nervous that maybe you wouldn't like it. I told him that I knew my sister and she is no fool" she says with humor.
We both laughed, I tell them about our trip, Abby wanted to know everything. I gave them the gifts that I bought for them in Tahiti. Abby bought me a charm bracelet and Tom wanted to make me his own gift so he drew a picture of me, and I told him I would frame it, the kid had talent.
I told them about my job offer from the hospital. Abby said she knew how much I wanted the Law Firm offer, and she was sorry I didn't hear from them. I told her it was fine, and I was happy with the offer from the hospital anyway.
We went to the library as they did their homework none of them needed my help. However, they felt bad for me, so they allowed me to check their work once they were done.
Noah came how with flowers for me and congratulated me again for getting the job offer. We all had dinner on the backyard patio, and chat about our weekend. Noah gave the kids a play by play of the proposal and how surprised I was when he wished me happy birthday.
Abby and Tom enjoyed Noah's version better than mine obviously they were captivated by his reenactments, though very dramatized. Abby found it exceptionally funny to hear I held out my right hand for Noah to put the ring on.
By 10 pm the kids were in their rooms and in bed, Noah showered then went to his office, I lay in bed and relax until I fell asleep. Noah comes to bed and lays behind me, I turn around to lay on his chest. I feel him put his arms around me, but his arms feel different, they feel bigger and heavier.
His shirt feels wet, soaked, I lift my head and look at him and I back away in dread at who is in bed with me with that evil smile on his face. I ran off the bed and I turn the lights on, and Giorgio's shirt is soaked with blood, but who's blood?
In a frantic and panicked state, I look around the room and I see a lifeless body. I move closer to the person lying motionless on the floor. It's Noah, lying in a pool of his own blood on the floor, I bring my hands to my mouth ready to scream.
My hands are bloody from having touched Giorgio's bloody clothes. The sheets are soaked with Noah's blood, before I could scream, Giorgio grabs me, and I begin to fight for my life.
"Taylor, stop", I hear him say as I fight to get out of his grip, I muster the strength to cream, and I put everything into it. My eyes shoot open, and I am in Noah's arms "Taylor, stop, baby you are dreaming" I hear him say and I bury my head in his chest. I am so over these fucking dreams.
"Baby it's ok, it's all a dream, you are ok, I'm here" he says as he sooths me. "I was coming to bed and I heard you screaming. was it the same dream?"
"Yes" I say
"Oh, baby, its ok, I wish I could make this all better, fuck!" he says as he continues to hold me tight.
