For Seven Nignts || Elvis Presley

- Janet!  -
She was about to feel sick, her heart was pounding and her sweat was beading her skin.
It was becoming excruciating that dream, every night she felt more and more real and every night she woke up on the verge of a contact to find gasps and panic in her eyes.
- Alex...Alex what happened?  -
Janet grabbed her hands and tried to calm the sudden panic attack.
- I...I can't take it yet!  -
- What Alex, what you can't resist anymore.  -
She couldn't calm down, she felt like she had gone crazy or something, but she needed to know who was intoxicating her thoughts of her making her feel feelings that were at odds with each other.
- T-the dream, d-I need to know.  -
- Alex look at me!  -
She found the eyes of her friend who grabbed her head to be looked at.
- You have to stay calm and explain to me what's happening to you.  -
She tried to take deep breaths and calm those tears that had no end, she really wanted to let off steam, tell her what was happening in those nights.
It was enough for her to look at the moon and her breathing returned to normal but with her head still under pressure.

- There is someone, for too many nights, I dream about him, he hugs me, he breathes against my skin, and so real, before I can touch him, I wake up!  -
Janet thought she was crazy, for a single second she thought her friend needed a specialist, but when she looked into her eyes, she saw fear mixed with the stillness that she couldn't explain.
- You need a break from all this.  Let's go away for a while!  -
- No Janet, I have to help Papa Gordon from Monday, I can't, I can't!  -
- Postpone everything, Mr. Gordon will understand.  But you come with me!  -
How could she say no?  Deep down she knew that she needed to get away from everything about her, starting with her mother who kept calling her and asking her to come back.
Alex only nodded before putting his head back on the pillow and this time, sleep in peace.

That same morning she woke up with the mood under her feet, for 4 nights now, she kept seeing the same images in her dream, she was intoxicated by that breath and those hands that touched her and without her being able to touch as much.  He was tormenting her, she couldn't explain what was happening to her or what those dreams of her meant.
So she dressed hurriedly, putting on simple white shorts and a blue top over her.  Without even realizing if Janet was home or not, she grabbed her bike and pedaled to the end of her neighborhood, where she knew very well that an old lady lived who knew a lot about dreams and as much as these things frightened her, I felt she had to to do so, he had to explain everything.

He arrived at the front door and two knocks were enough for her to welcome him.
- Alex, what a beautiful girl!  -
Alex smiled at that exclamation, blushed and thanked with a big smile.
- Hi Linda, I need to talk to you!  -
- Oh dear, I hope it's nothing serious.  -
- It's a dream, you have to tell me what it means!  -
Without hesitation Linda made her sit down and then sat down opposite her.
Alex knew that woman who was introduced to her by Janet, she was a black woman, just like her, and with delicate features and deep eyes.
- Honey, relax, your nerves are on edge!  -
She gripped her hands feeling them stiff at her touch.  She didn't know what to think before her at that moment, that dream tormented her and she couldn't help but think about it.  And so, with a deep breath, he told her what the night and her dream was projecting before her eyes.

- ...That's all, I don't know what to think of this dream!  -
Linda, in silence, looked deeply into her eyes, she could see her soul of hers and her being of hers fragile of hers but with a great strength that she knew she could pull out of her.
- Honey, you have to find out for yourself!  -
- Find out what?  -
- The man of this dreams.  -
Alex petrified, remained glued to the chair and her eyes just widened by that answer.
- And how do I find it?  I never got to see his face.  -
- The touch.  Remember her touch and her breath, not all are the same!  -
- Does this mean that I have to see this person?  -
- Destiny already knows, you just have to find out!  -

It sent her into total confusion, how would she know who was the one of her dreams?  How could she recognize her something that happened only in her dreams?
- All right, thank you Linda!  -
- Find it!  -
He smiled at her and gently squeezed her plump cheeks between her fingers, also greeted Linda with a big hug and ran down the stairs.
He knocked her to the ground once again, how would she find the one who made his dreams so true?  Who was messing with her head?  It was a big mystery and a defeat before departure.
She didn't think she would be able to recognize that touch that seemed unique to her, she didn't believe it could exist.
