One Step Closer

Dreams

Rosalie*

It was 6:30 when I reached the house. I opened the door and saw my mom sitting down the couch watching the news. The house looks nice when lighted. My mom heard me come in. She stood up and walked to my direction.

" Why did you came here this late. " she said angrily

" Mom, I'm sorry and it's not late it's only 6:30 " I said

My mom sighed " Just go to your room, I'll call you when dinner's ready. " she walked and headed to the kitchen

I went upstairs to my room and changed to my house clothes. I walked towards the bed and sat on it. I took my bag and took my laptop there. I opened it to check my emails.I saw about ten unread emails but most of it was junk mail. I opened the one that my friend, Alice wrote. It was an idiotic letter that she and my other friends wrote. She looked at her other messages until her mom called her.

" Rose it's time for dinner "

" Okay mom " I said walking towards the door.

I walked downstairs to the kitchen. I sat at the chair and started getting food. My mom is starting a small talk with me as always.

" So Rose did you enjoyed your little walk? "

" Yeah and I made a new friend " I said

" Really what's her name? "

I continued eating and drank water " Olivia Williams " I still continued eating

" Oh by the way mom tomorrow I'll be out of the house for a while " I said

" Where are you going again "

" Around town, am I allowed to go? "

" Sure why not just don't go outside the neighborhood " My mom said

" Okay " I stood up and went upstairs. I went to my room. Took off my clothes and went inside the bathroom. I look at the mirror. " Damn, am I that fat? ". I took a shower and went outside. I wore my pink pajamas and slept.

-----------------------

" Where am I " All I see is green fields and flowers with different colors. From white to dark blue and from yellow to red. But there was one thing that caught my eye. It was a guy sitting under a tree. " How come I didn't saw that tree a while ago " I stood up and the guy was already in front of me. " How did you walked all the way here? ". He didn't response and he held out his hand. " I'd like to show you something. ". I held his hand and walked with him.

We arrived at a beautiful lake. He told me something but I didn't listened, I was only standing in awe. " Looks beautiful doesn't it? " " Yeah, it looks amazing ". He grabbed my hand and let me face him. " It does look beautiful, this place is perfect to a beautiful girl " I feel like blushing at that moment. The guy smiled and leaned forward. Now he was near my face. He was about to kiss me. I felt myself leaning forward to kiss him.

-----------------------

I woke up at the sound of my alarm clock. " OMG. Who was that guy that I kissed. " I said. I stood up and walked to the bathroom. I gurgled and went downstairs still thinking of the guy I just kissed. My mom was making breakfast it smelled delicious.

"Oh, you're awake sweetheart. I'm making your favorite breakfast, pancakes." My mom said.

"Okay" I said sitting down at the table

"What toppings do you want"

"Um maybe maple is fine"

I ate my breakfast and left. I went upstairs to my room wear my normal clothes, a t-shirt with the name of my favorite band and jeans. I took my bag and left as soon as possible. But of course my mom would stop me leaving the house.

" Hey Rose, where do think you're going." she said

"Mom, I'm just going to Vi's house and remember yesterday you told me I can go outside as long as it's inside the village or neighborhood or whatever" I said. I slowly opened the door

"Okay, I'll text you when you need to go home" she waved me goodbye and I left the house. I walked first but then started to run when I wasn't near my house. I ran and ran and ran till I reached Vi's house I caught my breath then knocked on the door.

Vi opened the door wearing a simple black and white shirt and a pair of shorts. "Oh, Rose what a pleasant surprise".

"Can I come in?" I said ready to go inside

"Sure" she motioned me to come inside then I followed her to her room.

I sat on her bed and she sat beside me. "So, why did you visit me already?".

"I had the weirdest dream yesterday" I started panicking when I told her that.

"Really?!What's your dream about?" she leaned closer to me.

"U-um..I..uh-uh....I'ts a-about...um"

"Well, spit it out woman" she said

"I-I k-kissed a guy that I have never met or seen in my whole life!" I said. I took one of pillows to cover my blushing face.

"What! No way!" she took the pillow that was covering my face.

"It's okay, Rose. Maybe it's one of those crazy dreams where you met a character in a story you like." she said

"You're right Vi but the problem is I felt something weird when I saw him." I said

"I got it!" she said

"Got what?" 

"I read something in the internet about dreams that can see the future. Maybe you'll meet this guy someday in the future" she told me

"Are you saying some guy in the future will kiss me?"

"Yes" she said

"Vi, come down here!"

"Okay! Hey Rose come on let's go" she stood up and I followed her.
