Valentina's pov~

Once I was finally home, I changed into my cozy white pajamas and fluffy socks. Carefully braiding my hair into a plait and getting into bed. I'm so tired I can't be bothered to go to work. Grabbing my phone, I called my boss "Hey I can't come to work today. I'm sick." I lied."Are you sure you can't come in?"Positive" trying to make my voice raspy. "Ok, see you tomorrow." He hung up.

Laying down on my bed, I quickly fell asleep

Valentina's dream~

Wait at the bar for my tray to be refilled. I saw a man yelling at a woman. She looked as if she was about to cry when running away. He huffed. I decided to talk to him. "Having a bad night?". "Whats your name?" He asked me. "Valentina, what's your name?" He stared at me for a while before speaking. "Carlos."

Looking at my watch, I realized my shift was over. "Sorry, I have to go." I quickly walked away

I had the same dream again. Whenever I go to sleep, I think about the first time we met. I look at the clock on my nightstand it's 10.57 am. Getting out of bed, I change my clothes. I brushed my hair and put my earrings and headband on.

Locking my front door, I walked out of my apartment building to the bus stop and waited. Once the bus arrived, I got on watching the cars pass by. I wish I had a car of my own, so I didn't have to take the slow bus. Noticing I was at my stop, I thanked the bus driver and got off the bus.

First I decided to go to the clothes store to get new pants since it was going into autumn. Looking through racks of clothes, I started to think about Raphael. Why was he following me in his car? Why did he help me and let me stay at his house? Though it was a stupid idea to stay at a stranger's house and sleep in their bed. What was I thinking?

Once I saw some pants liked, I tried them on and bought them. Now out of the store, I went into a boba shop looking at the menu they had so many flavors I couldn't choose, so I played Eeny-meany-miny-moe.

Eeny-meany-miny-moe,
Catch a tiger by the toe.

If he hollers, let him go,
Eeny-meany-miny-moe.

I landed on mango, but I don't like mango, so I picked coffee. I got my boba a sat in the booth near the corner of the shop. "Hey." I jumped at the voice that sounded strangely familiar. Looking up, I saw Carols! I haven't seen him in 2 years. He was wearing a grey top with black jeans with chains on the side.

"Hey, I haven't seen you in ages. How are you?". "I'm good. I saw you in the booth and thought you might want to have lunch with me." He said, scratching the back of his neck he looked kind of nervous. Looking at my phone for the time (12.30 am), I decided to say yes. "Sure, I would love to."
