I have been sitting on my bed all night. Keeping my body from shutting down. "When I woke up everything turned out to be a dream." that's usually what happens in movies or novels. What if I fall asleep and go back to the future? I can't let that...happen. I mumbled dropping my phone on my bed as my whole body collapsed.

A bright light hit me right in my face. I mumbled before finally realising. I fell asleep....

I jumped out of my bed yelling and hitting my head over and over again. I can't believe I fell asleep. My phone?! Where is my phone?! I scanned the whole bed with my hand until my hands fell upon the glass surface. I stared at the date to see Sunday November 26th. Thank goodness. I didn't return to a hundred days later in time. I got up from my bed and went outside taking quiet steps towards his room. This isn't a dream. It's real life...

I creaked up his door like last time and peeked inside. Only to see his bed made and the room to be found empty. He's not here.

"Are you looking for me?" I flinched as I turned around. He stood right behind me in his bathrobe, exposing the upper past of his chest. And water dripping from his messy hair landing upon his chest.

"Is creeping up on me going to be a regular thing from now?" he asked. I awkwardly laughed it off, thinking of a not so creepy excuse. 

That's right. Maybe I should just say what's going on in my mind since I'm here anyway. "I was wondering if we could stop setting boundaries in this house. Please let me come here, too." I pleased. He confusingly asked "In my room?" I nodded yes in a rush.

He stood silent for a second before a corner of his mouth lifted up and he nodded as well "Alright, sure." Huh? he agreed without the slightest hesitation. Maybe I should've asked him earlier if I knew it was going to be this easy.

"Does that mean I can also go to your room whenever I want?" I nodded "Of course."

"Alright let's do that, then." he smirked raising a brow. Who knew he'd accept this proposal so readily? Is he really the Carden I know. Or is he a ghost pretending to be Carden? I reached out for his body, to ease my mind, so I could be sure he's physically standing in front of me.

"Evelyn Delancy. Are you touching my robe or my body?" He asked firmly. I pulled his robe as I shouted out "Your robe, of course!" he grabbed my arm before I could pull away. "I-I'm sorry. I won't do that again." He dropped my hand as I excused myself.

I walked over to my room to get changed but an enormous shadow hovered on top of mine. Once I realised he was not going to leave I turned my head around and questioned "Why, why are you following?"

"Oh, no big reason." he grinned leaning against my room frame and crossing his arms on his chest. "I'm allowed to go anywhere in this house from now, right?"

"I'm going to get changed." I yelled flustered. "Go ahead. Who's stopping you?"

"I can't if you're here." I explained the self-explanatory. "Just change." he said smiling slightly squinting his eyes, wanna seem all innocent. "How can I?! Get out this instant!" I shouted. He lifted himself from the frame support and sighed "Think about what you did yesterday and today."

The thought of me in his bed yesterday morning, and leaning up to kiss him had been plastered in my mind. Just how he wanted.

"You got to see everything and you even felt me."

"I'm really sorry about that. But didn't I explain? It was because I had a nightmare yesterday...!"

"Did you have that dream again today?" He asked.
