Ordinaries And Stars

Chapter Three

The day that she went for the party was Tuesday, so Tuesday passed into Wednesday then Thursday also rolled by. All these days never went by without her daydreaming about Dave. On Thursday evening,as she was preparing to go to bed,her phone rang. She answered without looking at  the caller.

"Hello" she said. "Pamela, this is Dave. I was wondering if you would like to go on a date with me tomorrow" At the sound of his voice,she went into a kneeling position on her bed. For a few seconds,she was rendered speechless, but quickly responded. "Yes,yes."
"Okay,I will pick you up at 6" with that, he hung up. Pamela was so happy that she thought she wouldn't have nightmares, but as usual,they were waiting for her when she closed her eyes and drifted into sleep.

Thanks to her nightmares,she woke up with circles under her eyes,again. Cody was in the kitchen when she walked in looking bedraggled.
"Good morning" he greeted. She didn't even look his way,just walked to the fridge and took out milk and drank it straight from the carton.
Tsk,and people always thought celebrities were civilized. Cody thought smugly as he watched Pamela gurgle down the milk.

After finishing the milk,she went right back to her room. She stayed there until it was left with just an hour for Dave to come pick her up. That's when she called Miriam to prepare a dress for her. Even though she was feeling moody in the morning,by the time Dave arrived at her house,her happy mood was activated again. This is going to be the best date ever,she thought happily.

Dave took them to the most expensive restaurant, Hues. Since the weather was a little humid,they decided to go to the third floor where they will be out in the open. As they entered the elevator,she suddenly felt trapped. One thing she really really hates is being in a confined area with someone of the opposite sex. Anxiety seems to kick in. And it didn't help that Dave wanted to make out in the elevator.

The moment he pinned her to the walls of the elevator,her nightmares kicked in. Oh God,not now,please,I really like this boy,please. She thought frantically but that didn't help. She started hyperventilating and Dave quickly pulled back. "Are you okay?" he asked with concern on his face.
All right,breath Pamela,breathe,in..out..in..out. She came back to normal just as the elevator stopped at their destination. She stepped out quickly and turned to Dave.

"Yes,yes,I'm fine" she smiled sweetly and crossed her fingers behind her back. Please don't let this date be ruined by this ,please. It seems this time,her prayer was answered because Dave smiled back at her and took her hand. "Fine then,let's go have some fun" he said and led her to their table.

Even after that incident,the date went okay. She had to admit that she had a lot of fun and can't wait to go on another date.

That day,as she went to sleep,the nightmares came back stronger.
