It's Called Love, Right?

Chapter 28 - Dream

"Ash?"

The honey-haired girl looked around her, then watched in puzzlement as the jet hair boy slowly made his approach.

Wind blew behind them as the two stood under a cherry blossom tree. The petals soon began to descend all around them.

Serena watched in awe at the beautiful scenery of the pink cherry tree as a smile unconsciously formed onto her face.

Her vision then shifted to Ash, who was looking at her with a warm smile. She had never seen ash smile like that. Unlike his usually smirk, it was heartwarming and genuine.

"Serena," he started, "Do you love me?"

Serena looked at him with a expression that contained both confusion and shock.

"I don't think I do. What's with this questi-"

Before she could finish her sentence, Serena felt something warm press against her lips. It took her a moment to realize what was going on. And when she did, her face went soaring up the sky.

Ash Ketchum was kissing her.

The Ash Ketchum.

Despite not knowing what in the world was going on, Serena found herself melting into the kiss. She closed her eyes and ran her fingers through his hair. It was a strange feeling that was going through her, yet it was very enjoying.

Slowly Ash pulled away from the kiss and gazed at Serena.

Serena felt her heart skip a beat.

He looked at her with a small smile on his face, Serena looked at him with bright red cheeks.

"Are you sure?"

-----

Serena sat with her usual group of friends for breakfast, her mind constantly going from Ash, to the current conversation, then to Ash again.

The moment she made eye contact with him, she immediately looked away. The raven haired boy looked at her with a puzzled expression, but just shrugged it off.

Serena buried her face in her hair, embarrassed.

The honey haired girl still couldn't believe that she had that dream about Ash.

Out of everyone she could dream about, it had to be him. And out of everything she could of dreamed about with him in it, it had to be Ash kissing her. Serena shook her head.

"Serena?" a voice drove her out of her thoughts. She looked up to see Misty looking at her with a worry expression. "Everything alright? You're spacing out."

The honey blonde waved her hands in front of her face and gave Misty the most assuring smile she possibly have. "What in the world are you talking about? I'm totally fine!" Serena laughed nervously, "I was just thinking about... stuff."

"What stuff?" Ash rested his hands behind his head and looked at her curiously. Serena's vision made their way from his eyes to his lips. Her dream flashed though her head.

"NOTHING IMPORTANT!" Serena blurted out a bit too quickly. Ash looked at her unconvinced but just shrugged.

"If you say so."

Serena sighed in relieve as everyone continued to have their own conversation. She tried to think about food and fashion but her eyes unconsciously made their way to Ash again.

She quickly shook her head. She'll have to get her mind off Ash if she doesn't want to raise anymore suspicions.

Alright. Serena took a deep breath.
