Flawless (a Remington Leith fanfiction)

Burgundy red

Burgundy red: The color of whealt and opulence; often used to describe fine wine or a rich person.

It's just another day where I wake up with cold sweat all over me in bed, my dreams aren't that haunting however each day it gets weirder.

It started of as a normal dream where I would go to this haunted circus, in the circus there would be no one. I would look around and make sure there is no one, every damn time I'm alone, then the circus, after I walked around, all of a sudden comes back to life. The lights, the laughter, the people, the decor... everything would return into this stuffed, gorgeous, full with life circus.

I would find a place to sit down and watch the show that starts after two minutes of waiting, while waiting, vendors with cotton candy and other snacks go around the stuffed place. I never get anything, I don't have money on me; then after everyone sits and the show starts, I get called out and into the show. Clowns help me down on the stairs and place me in the middle of the circus. I am laughing having a great time, but each time when I would go back to my place someone whispers into my ears, things like: "You are next...", "He's waiting...", "Don't wake up!"...

Each day when I wake up I write the sentences down, but they don't really make sense. The voice in my dreams always follows with me waking up, or the circus changing back into the haunted circus in the beginning. Then I wake up.

Today was no different; as I walked around the abandoned circus with the already dried flower petals around everywhere, each step I took, a loud crunch followed it. Again as I was looking around the already familiar paths I found nothing, no one, not even a single soul. As I was walking back to the main stage, like the circus always would it changed into working lights and laughter. Children running around the stage in the soft sand, clowns entertaining the adults who are sitting alone and vendors offering better and better looking junk foods and snacks.

I look around the seats, searching for an empty one, I soon find one near the stage to my left, I sit down and observe the happy families all around, everyone is smiling and laughing, they are all having a great time in general. Some people give me soft smiles, I return the gesture and wait for the show to start.

I don't have to wait much, those two minutes go fast by and the next thing I know is that the entertainment started.

"Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen! This is our yearly show. Welcome, welcome! First up we will start with some good old comedy, lets give a big applause to our golden tongued, Jake!" The man from a porondum shouted, his funny looking mustache moving as he spoke. He wore a big cilinder and some big red clothes, the circus was his. I remember the first time I saw him in my dreams he looked different, he was way younger almost my age and the clothes he wore weren't so out of his size. My brain probably likes to play jokes on this poor man.

As Jake walked to the stage everyone started clapping, myself included. Jake had slightly blond coffee brown hair and a comforting pair of brown eyes to match his hair, he looked around 30-ish or so.

He was telling funny stories and puns which made me laugh, I soon zoned out. Nevertheless I was just staring at Jake smiling like an idiot, no sound no sight just zoning the fuck out. Next thing I know is I'm being called out and that I should get up on stage next to Jake. I tried shaking my head no but the clowns nagging at my arms made me stand up and helped me down the stairs, on the stage I was.

I knew how the next part goes from memory, I will have to choose someone else from the audience to be my partner in this next joke. Just like I knew the next thing Jake said was "Now beautiful lady I will need you to choose someone as your partner from this lovely audience, the two of you will act out the story of how my first date went. Be prepared it will not be cute.", Jake's slight giggle made me smile. I was searching thru the audience, when a handsome man around my age caught my eyes.

He had his hair slicked in every way possible, makeup smeared around his eyes and soft plump lips smiling. He was rather gorgeous then handsome.

"That man right there, with the crazy looking hair. I choose him, of course only if he wants to." I turned to Jake and pointed to the man I was describing, my smile never leaving my mouth. This was the first time I saw him in my dreams, beforewards I always chose a girl or a little kid that was waving at me because they wanted to participate. It felt kind of nice to have something new in these dreams.

"Sir! Please indulge yourself in deciding wheter to come, but I wouldn't miss out this opportunity with such a pretty woman and this horribly embarrasing act to be played out." Jake pointed at the man then back to me, the man stood up from his place and slowly he approached the stage, he was even more gorgeous up close.

"Tell me now, what's your name?" Jake looks at me first then at the man infront of me. He was a head taller then me so I was looking up at him.

"I'm Giorgia, Giorgia Hamilton. Nice to meet you!" I held out a hand to him.

"I am Remington, Remington Leith, pleasure's mine Giorgia!" He shook my hand firmly, his hand had slight calluses on it.

"Dear Giorgia, you will be my date in this scenario and dear Remington, you will be me in the same scenario. Okay now? The date took place in a retro restaurant, I was already waiting for my date, sitting alone in a cabin. So please Remington would you come here and sit down? Giorgia I will need you to stay there for a few seconds, I have urgent things to tell our gentleman Remington here." Jake starts the scenario by moving Remington to this small table with two chairs on the stage.

I can't hear what the two men are talking about while I'm still standing in my place, Jake is whispering something to Remington, he smiles to himself when Jake's done talking to him. Gods why is this man so attractive? The way he was sitting there smiling, got me wondering if am I really dreaming? I feel like I saw him somewhere before, but where?

"Okay now, dear Giorgia here," Jake gestures to the other seat, I walk and sit down facing Remington. "Ladies and Gentlemen give a big applause to our actors! Let me set the mood for you and continue the story." Jake takes out a small electric candle out of his back pocket and turns it on, the audience laughs at the small candle that's supposed to set the mood.

"So my very nervous Remington here, starts with a?" Jake raises an eyebrow at Remington. "Also don't forget you haven't met before, this is your first date, the two of you got a blind date set up by your friends in common." "So how would you start the date Remington?"

"I would say Hello and introduce myself to her, then offer her the menu, see if she likes something." Remington responds to Jake, and he looks at me.

"So why not do that? Remington my brother here you need to act it out, and I will be just like a story teller. Adding and removing things from the scenario so it will fit, remember what I told you." With that Jake takes a few steps back and winks at Remington.

"Well, hello there! I'm Remington, it's nice to meet you! My friends told me a lot about you." Remington held a hand out and we yet again shook hands. "I'm Giorgia, and I hope they only said good things about me. Our friends aren't always the best to ask for reference." I try my best to joke around, everything about this makes me wanna crawl away, it's so embarrasing, I mean yeah Jake said it will be but I am not used to this scenario. Usually we would do other small stories where we joke around and have fun, but this one seems like, well I don't even know what to think about it.

It might be because I actually feel attracted to Remington, who knows?

"Good, good. I love how you both made this even more embarrasing then it will be." Jake chukles a bit then continues. "Now Remington, I will need you to order some burgundy red wine. I will be your waiter. And when you order please ask Giorgia if she wants anything."

How long will this last? I am already uncomfortable. Something's wrong. I should be waking up by now.

I try to open my eyes, yet they wouldn't. What the hell? Why can't I wake up?
