Flor

Dreams

I pull into my driveway turning off the car. She's asleep. I don't want to wake her up. I get out of the car and open the passenger door. Her head leaning towards the door but resting on the seatbelt. I slowly unbuckle the belt and grab her phone. She stirs a little before I pick her up in my arms and close the door.

I walk into the house and go
to my room I place her lightly
on the bed. She's in a dress and makeup. But she is out. Im surprised she hasn't woken up. My mind wanders to the night before. She didn't sleep much and she must be tired. I head to my bathroom and get undressed.

Changing into sweats and a white tee. I brush my teeth before I head back into my room. She looks so peaceful. I walk closer to her and tuck her hair behind her ear.

Her eyelids start to flutter and her eyes open. She looks at me, her eyes soft. "Do you wanna change?" I ask softly. Still admiring her face. She sits up and nods. "Here." I reach over and hand her a white t shirt I have in my dresser. I walk out the room so she can change and head to her room. I see the makeup remover wipes on her dresser and head back into the room. She's sitting on my bed with my shirt oversized on her. She looks good. Her golden legs are dangling off the side of my bed as she fumbles with the golden hoops on her ears. I hand her the wipes.

"Thank you bestie." she says. "Bestie?" I smirk. "Yes bestie. You said you thought we were gonna be friends? Yup Besties." She says her voice still soft. She places the hoops on my nightstand and pulls a makeup wipe out of the package. "Mm if you say so." I say. Her small hands wipe her lipstick off and her face. Her face barely changes. But she has a dewy look on her skin. She looks much sleepier and softer. "Sleep here?" I mumble. Half asking half telling. "Yes." she digs herself into the puffy sheets and lays her head on the pillow.

She gives me a look. Sleeping once in my bed is one thing. Maybe just for nightmares. But twice. She pulled back from me at the restaurant after she was playing with my shirt. Almost like she doesn't want to completely show any affection to me. I go to couch on the other side of my room. "Mm you too." she pats the side of the bed next to her. I have no problem with that.

But I wonder why she wants me there. Damn. She wants me to sleep there. I head over and lay in the bed next to her. She turns the light off next to her and she falls into sleep almost right away. Her back is to me and I'm laying on my back. I hope she can sleep tonight. I start to drift off into my own dreams.

Flor's sitting on my lap her soft face close to mine. She straddles me and pushes her nose against mine. Softly smiling . Oh shit. I can feel myself get hard. She stares at my mouth. She plants a soft kiss on it. I like that. She tastes sweet. I kiss back wanting more and she kisses back slowly.

I draw my
tongue along her bottom lip and she opens her mouth to let my tongue in. She starts tongue kissing me getting faster and deeper. She moves her hips against me and I place my hands on her ass. Fuck. She's so hot.

Her ass feels soft in my hands and it's got a nice shape. Wait. What. What the fuck. I wake up and slightly jolt. Flor's sleeping next to me. Oh of fucking course. I grumble in my head. I had a fucking sex dream about her. I look at the clock. It's almost four a.m. Well at least she hasn't had any nightmares. I stay there dazed and confused. I really.. just had that dream. I get up and leave the room quietly. I go into my kitchen and grab a glass cup. I curse under my breath.

I let my fridge dispense water in it and drink. It's cold down my throat and I wait for my little friend to go down. I close my eyes and lean against the counter. Damn. I knew I was attracted to her but I've never even let myself think about it too much. That dream felt different. My previous sexual experiences were never like that. I was never that into them. Which is why I have no interest in sex. But Flor. She just... I feel differently for her. More open. Even though we're not close. I push the thoughts out of my brain.

Don't think about her as anything more than a friend. I hear soft footsteps. I open my eyes and see her standing there. Sleepy eyes. Dewy skin and slightly frazzled curled hair. My shirt hanging off her body making her look even smaller. "Are you okay?" She asks. Concern and confusion is in her face. "Shit I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you up. Yeah I'm good." I say. "It's okay." she says. She rubs her eyes. My stomach tingles.

"I was starting to have a nightmare but I woke myself up." she says. She grabs a cup and fills it up with water. Damn again. "How long has it been since they came back?" I ask. She drinks her water and tilts her head as she thinks. "Mmm like 4 months." Fuck. Does she have them every night?

"Everynight?" "Sometimes I go a few days without em." she says. Leaning her hip on the countertop. She finishes her water and yawns. "Come on." I say walking right in front of her. She doesn't move and she headbutts my chest instead. She makes small movements to be physical with me. Like we're middle schoolers and she's too afraid to be too affectionate with me. I do the same thing I'll admit. "Mmm" she says.

"I don't wanna sleep I'm probably gonna have a nightmare this time." I grip onto the side of her arms. Her head in a headbutt position on my chest. "It's okay. I'll wake you up." She looks up at me with her lips puffed out. "Okkkayy" she sighs dramatically and walks back to the room. I follow behind her. The sillohuette of her ass slightly visible in the oversized shirt on her. Bro stop. I snap my head up and clear my head. She notices. She scrunches her face up. "What were you looking at bestie?"

She looks at the floor. She jolts away from where she was standing. "Is it a bug??" she looks at me. "No, No it was not anything." I say and I smirk. My face gets flustered. "Man dont scare me like that." she says. She plops on the bed and lays down rubbing her eyes. I lay down too. She has that quince later today. Where supposedly Francisco will be. I'm going too. So is Christian, Jay, Kai, and Grey. As well as some of her uncle's people. He's more protective over her than me and Christian.

I can see why. She just has the energy of someone who you grow close with immediately. "Alex." "Yes Flor." "Can youu play with my hair just till I sleep." That catches me off guard. She's acting softer around me. It's different during the night. She's closer to me. During the day she's back to emotionless Flor. I reach my hand out towards her hair and rub it softly. She adjusts herself so she's comfortable and closes her eyes.

Her back is to me and I'm on my back again with my arm outstretched to her hair. We're a few inches away. But just the presence of her body next to mine feels like its burning me. She starts to breathe slowly and steadier. She's asleep. I stop playing with her hair but leave my hand wrapped in it and I close my eyes to sleep too.
