Wishing on Dandelions

Chapter 11

"So, you tired?"

"Surprisingly yes. You?"

"Yes so I guess we should get in the bed." Until now, we were on the floor, I wonder if I can change clothes, I've never tried it but maybe...

"Adam, can I have a shirt?"

"Sure, why?"

"I want to see if I can change clothes, I never tried before and this isn't the most comfortable thing you know," I gesture to my clothes.

"Ya, sure." He disappears into his closet and a second later tosses me a shirt that will be knee length on me.

"Perfect, thanks." I head into the bathroom and change into it with ease. I notice that it smells like him, something I like very much. Oh my god Jolene- you sound like a crazy stalker.

I walk out of the bathroom and Adam stares.

"What?"

"Nothing, just like seeing you in my clothes."

I start blushing profusely.

"I said that aloud, didn't I?"

"Yep, I'm rubbing off on you I guess."

We chuckle and get into the bed, he forms the pillow wall and I start drifting off.

I running from something but I don't know what. I'm in a weird building and I can't leave it no matter how many exits I try. I hear footsteps behind me. I try to run faster but my breathe runs ragged and my legs refuse to go faster. I will not die, I will not die. I try a door down the hallway that I'm running through, it opens. It's a theater, like a playhouse. I run down the main aisle and something pops up out of nowhere. It's a person but they have no face and no skin color. They stab me and I die. I wake up feeling scared, damn horror movies. Adam is wide awake and looking at me with worry in his eyes.

"You okay? You seemed like you were having a bad dream."

"Did I kick you? I'm so sorry."

"It's fine baby. Nightmare?"

"Yes."

"Don't worry, I'll protect you." He sends the pillows on the floor with one swipe of his arm and pulls me into his chest. My head lands on his chest and he kisses the top of my head. I tangle my legs with his and start falling asleep again.

I dream of a lake, it's very peaceful, it's night time and fireflies are all over lighting it up. Fish occasionally leap out of water. I wake up feeling the most peaceful I ever had. I go use the restroom and come back to find Adam with a load of pancakes stacked on a plate.

I grab three eagerly and eat up. "I love pancakes."

"Who doesn't?"

"People with issues."

"Doesn't that mean you shouldn't like them?"

We both start laughing and Olivia comes in, knocking first.

"What all did you guys do last night," she winks at us.

"Oh my god- Olivia!" I chide her while Adam throws pillows at her.

"Just messing with you, but judging by your reaction- something did happen," she raises her eyebrow causing my eyes to almost roll into the back of my head from being rolled so much.

"Olivia just shut up, ok? Nothing happened. Any reason for you being here?"

"Ya, I'm bored."

"Where my girls wanna go?"

"Beach," we say simultaneously.
