THE COP AND THE POP STAR

CHAPTER 71: WILL YOU

 We have been back home for a week.

Everything seems to be good on my stalker case.

No letters or messages have come from him. I think that he meant it when he said that he was done with me.

The pictures that have been online of Tom and I at the wedding, and the wedding dance, probably made him be done with me for sure.

When Tom and I were dancing, we didn't know it, but several guests at the wedding posted our picture, and my cousin posted some pictures of us dancing and Tom kissing me.

He had asked me when we were dancing if I thought he should kiss me, since we were pretending to be a couple.

I told him I thought probably should, but I will take all the kisses from Tom I can get. Because once this case is over that will be over with.

If Tom only knew I'm obsessed with those pictures. I can't stop looking at them, sneaking looks at them on my phone. And I can't stop wishing that could be us for real in the future. As in we are bridge and groom. A girl can dream even if it's hopeless. 

It's been good to be home. But Tom seems distant. He seems troubled about something.

I asked him if he was okay, or wanted to talk about anything, and he said he was fine.

I let it go. He knows that I will listen, I've told him that more than once. I hate to see him stressing though.

                                                                                                 TOM'S VIEW:

We've been home a week. It's good to be home. Boston was okay, it was good meeting Jordan's family, and taking Alyssa to the wedding, and then our last night there, we went to eat at Novara. I didn't know it, till we were getting ready to go eat there, but Alyssa told me that was Jordan's restaurant.

If Alyssa only knew, I kind of went crazy looking online for all the pics of us at the wedding, I have them on my phone in that secret folder, and I obsess over them, wishing that will be us getting married.

There has been no contact from this freak, so I hope that he's given up but until he's found, I still worry.

I haven't slept that good thing since we've been home.

Because I had a nightmare, and to be honest, it really upset me.

It started off as a good dream.

I told her I loved her and asked her to go out with me for real, and she said she loved me too, so on our first date, I proposed to her, and she said yes.

Then we were at the church, and I was standing there watching Alyssa walk down the aisle. She was beautiful. She had a wedding dress that was designed just for her. She took my breath away.

I was smiling watching her walk to me, but then I was totally shocked as she didn't walk to me at all. She walked to the man who was standing by me. The guy who started out as Doug, turned into a man that I've never seen her before. He was beaming, and held out his hand to Alyssa, and she took it.

What the hell is happening? I yell it, but it's like I'm invisible. Like she can't see me.

I said "Alyssa, what are you doing. I'm right here. We are engaged. You're going to marry me, not this guy whoever he is."

But she doesn't even hear me, nor does she turn to look at me.

The preacher starts the wedding ceremony, with me standing right there. I'm confused. What's going on? Why can't anyone hear me?
