In My Dreams

Chapter 24: Finally Found You

Liam's POV

Classes went by and it's now time for lunch. The bell rang and students emptied the classroom in a rush for the cafeteria. I walked outside the classroom but was stopped by Ms. Prelaine.

"Mr. Collins, may I have a word with you," Ms. Prelaine called.

I turned around and answered, "Uh, sure."

I walked towards the Ms. Prelaine's desk and asked, "What is it?"

"The girl you sketched, have you seen her before?" Ms. Prelaine asked.

I was hesistant to answer her question but did it anyways, "Yes. Every night and I saw her once at a bookstore."

"And you recorded her and posted the video on YouTube, correct?"

I answered, "Yes."

Ms. Prelaine then asked, "Are you in love?"

That caught me off guard. Am I in love?

"I-I don't know."

Ms. Prelaine gave me a sly smile and said," You may leave."

I nodded. "Right."

I walked to the cafeteria. But then, I realized something...

It's time to find for Claire.

***

I went to Mandi Gazzette, the school's newsreporter. She is such a chizmocker, a blabbler mouth. So, for sure she knows everything about Claire.

I walked towards her Mandi with her friends eating.

"Mandi," I called.

"Ye-" she stopped and froze when she saw me. Her eyes darted over my body, causing me to roll my eyes. She's a flirt too. She actually sends me love letters every Valentine's Day.

"Hello, Mandi," I called while waving my hand in front of her eyes filled with shock.

"Yes?" she asked flirtatiously.

"Do you know the full name of the new girl?" I asked.

"Yeah, she's Claire Marissa Williams," she said.

I nodded. "Thanks."

I looked around and saw Claire walking outside the gate, the way to the soccer field. She walked away until she's out of my sight. I ran to her way and saw her going to the soccer field.

I hid behind a big tree and peeked. I saw her remove her white cardigan and and her 2 inches heels. She then took out her rubber shoes from a black and pink stripes bag and wore it.

And then she took out a soccer ball and my eyes widened. She knows how to play soccer. She placed the soccer ball in front of her right feet and I noticed her narrowing her eyes at the soccer net away from her. She looked at the soccer ball with focus and kicked the ball swiftly. I followed where the ball was going and it just aimed the net.

Awesome.

And then, she smile and looked around. Until, our eyes met and we both froze. I stared at Claire in pure ecstacy and awe as she looks at me with wondering looks. Suddenly, she looked at me shocked and I guess it's time for me to introduce myself.

I walked towards her and said nervously, "Hey, Claire."

She smiled slowly. "Hey, L-Liam," she stuttered.

"I-I saw you at the parking lot of the bookstore," I said awkwardly.

"Yeah. A-And, y-you recorded me," Claire said.

"Y-You were very beautiful," I admitted.

She sudddenly blushed and I chuckled at her cuteness. "Thanks,  I guess."

I walked closer towards her and, well I can't help it, I caressed her right cheek gently. She looked shock at first but she closed her eyes and sighed contently.

"I can't get you out of my head," I breathed.

Claire's POV

"I can't get you out of my head," this handsome man in front of me breathed.

"You drive me crazy," I confessed, finally having the courage to speak.

His warm, large, and comforting hands felt so good against me cheek. It feels different... in a good way.

I fluttered my eyes open and saw Liam and he said, "Your in my dreams."

I smiled. "And you begged me to stay."

He blushed. "I-I d-did," he stuttered.

I walked closer towards him, until our chests our brushing against each other. I didn't where did the confidence came from, but I managed to place my right hand on his left shoulder and I looked into his eyes.

"So beautiful," he cooed huskily.

I blushed tint red. "So handsome," I said after taking off my hand on his shoulder and caressing his cheek.

He closed his eyes and I felt the loss of his hands on my cheek and he wrapped his arms around my waist. We were so close and I rested my hands on his hard chest. I bet his chest is really toned.

"Don't leave me. Please, stay with me," he begged.

He fluttered his eyes open and looked at me with pleading eyes. I answered, "Don't worry. I won't leave you, I'll stay with you."

He chuckled. "Good."

"Of course."

"L-Liam, w-why did you record me?" I asked.

His grip on my waist tightened and he admitted, "Because you are the reason why I barely focus. You are the reason why I always feel tingles and thrills everytime I see you in my dreams."

"I finally found you, Claire Marissa Willams."

"I have finally found you too, Liam Xavier Collins."
