Was that all just a dream, I sit up in bed the covers falling away from me. I remembered it so will every detail down to the names and ages. My eyes focus in the dark. Even the sex felt real, getting up I make my way to the bathroom looking at the girl in the mirror as I pass by. I pee then start the shower I felt the need to wash myself.
After my shower I head toward the kitchen. There is a lone light on that I keep on every night. A sound over in the corner makes me jump and I turn toward it.
"OH, Sam you silly kitty"
The white tabby climbs down off the table onto the floor to snuggled against my feet. I hated living alone one of the reasons I got a cat and a dog so I wouldn't be alone. I got to the refrigerator and pull the milk out pouring me a glass I take it and the tabby back to bed with me. As I'm getting comfortable Dutchess pokes her head out of the covers.
"Just a dream Dutchess" I tell the teacup papillon.
Her little ears stand up as she tilts her head sideways. She turns back toward the covers, and I am forced to lift them up so she can tunnel her way back into them. I to slide down into the covers maybe I could get some rest before having to get up at 5 in the morning. I glance at the clock and wish I hadn't 2am. Rolling my eyes I turn over so I wouldn't stare at said clock and let my eyes close. Feeling as Dutchess scoots up under me to stay warm. And Sam as he makes a bed at my feet. It was always the same dream always the same people and it always felt so real. Why did it feel more like a memory than a dream.
The next day I make my way to work no time to think about last nights, nightmares or the whys and why nots. I grab a snack on my way in and a coffee to keep me awake.
As I walk into the huge white building I am greeted with familiar faces. I smile at the black headed man that comes my way holding a clipboard and pin in hand.
"Morning Carlos" I say.
"Morning Val, how was your night."
"Ugg don't even ask about it, what do we have, I am ready for today."
"Great, there is an order going out for Macy's. And we also have one that just called in for Temu"
"Great, what's selling."
"The jumpsuits, Jesus is calling shirts, and swade sandals."
"Who think people would actually like them. Ok keep count how many sells we make and head them in at the end of the day."
"Yes ma'am, oh Sarah called in she's not coming in today."
"Why not"
"Said she wasn't feeling good."
"Right, if I'm not out when the lunch break starts get me a chicken sandwich and a coke."
"Yes ma'am"
I head toward my office; sick she has never been sick nope not a day in her life. I close the glass door behind me and pull the blinds down so no one could see in then make my way to the huge white table I used as a disk. Pulling the char out I sit down and dial Sarah's number sitting back in the swivel chair I turn looking out the huge bay windows as the phone starts ringing.
"Hello" she answers on the third ring.
"Carlos said you were sick."
"Val, I need a day off."
"Then take a vacation, don't pretend to be sick. You know I love you and would do anything for you."
"But the company needs me" she whines.
"Yes, we do need you, but I also need you to be focused and your head to be cleared. Take some time off go up to the mountains and visit your mom."
"Are you sure Val?"
