I’d better get back said Claire after things had cooled down I’m supposed to be going to see my aunt in hospital tonight as she was picking up the cushions that had been strewn about the floor. Will I see you tomorrow asked Alec, yep usual time usual time and place unless you’ve given me your cold, you’ll not risk a kiss then? of course I will, that I can’t do without she smiled. They embraced and Claire turned to leave and said I’ll leave you with your dream girl she giggled Alec playfully smacked her on her bottom saying she may be the girl in my dreams but not my dream girl Claire turned towards Alec and this time they kissed passionately I hope that I’m that girl said Claire as they released themselves of course you are there couldn’t be anyone else for me said Alec.
So I’m at a loose end tonight thought Alec I can’t really go out and it looks as though Claire was the only one brave enough to come and see me, I can’t really blame the rest of the guys no one wants a cold. So it was a couple of beers and a DVD for Alec it wasn’t an exciting prospect but that is all he was left with. Beers drunk and DVD watched he decided he couldn’t face watching another and it was getting late he decided it was bed for him, so he cleared things away and made sure that the doors were locked and bolts applied, can’t have anyone sneaking in again can we he sniggered to himself. He settled down and turned off his bedside lamp. He wasn’t comfortable though his mind was caught about the dream he had or was it? if Claire had seen this girl then it can’t be a dream can it? He lay awake for quite some time thinking about it until he finally drifted off to sleep.
He woke the next morning thinking phew!! no strange dreams or at least I can’t remember any he thought as he made his way to the bathroom for a shower. Feeling much better this morning as he reached for the towel he was stopped dead in his tracks as he looked into the bathroom mirror for there in the mirror forming in the condensation before his eyes were the words “I need” Oh hell! he exclaimed he was scared by this but was frozen to the spot as the message continued “your help” crap I’ve got to get out of here and made for his room got ready and left in a hurry. Bloody hell he thought my place must be haunted as he made his way to meet Claire, he was early, very early even for him.
Claire arrived and gave him a hug and pecked him on the cheek and said hey you ran out razor blades or something? I was in a hurry snapped Alec not really wanting to be reminded that he hadn’t shaved, What’s up? or did you get out of the wrong side of the bed? or did your new dream girlfriend pay you a visit last night she giggled. That’s not funny! Alec grunted, she did, didn’t she, no it wasn’t that and he told Claire what had happened, that’s a bit creepy for my liking she replied. I’d rather not talk about it lets go into town he said. They spent the day in town meeting up with the usual gang of friends and there was no further mention of the morning’s events. They were walking back on their own when Claire struck up the conversation again about the morning do you think your place is haunted then? I hope not he smiled at Claire it’s all a little strange though and this morning it scared the hell out me. Do you want me to come back with you looking at Alec with a look that said please don’t ask me, no it will be fine he said without any great conviction and I want to see you home not the other way around and in any case I can handle it. I’ll probably scare it off not having had a shave I look pretty rough don’t I? a bit of a tramp she giggled as she ran towards her door, you cheeky bitch he called as he ran and caught her before she got to the door they embraced and kissed each other, be careful Alec Claire said softly, I will and don’t forget to have a shave before I see you tomorrow she giggled before closing the door quickly behind her. Alec made his way home rubbing his chin thinking I really do need a shave I must look pretty rough. Nervously he went in through his door bolting it behind him and made his way through each of the rooms checking that he was alone and he was. No drinks for me he said to himself when I go to bed tonight I want a clear head. He spent the night watching football on the TV until it had finished and went to bed.
