Love in dreams

Chapter 2

15 years after the incident with Matt, Peter and I both found jobs and had amazing apartments. We were still best friends. But something has changed. I've changed. I mean my feelings towards him changed since that visit I told you about.

With every day my body changed and developed. I took off my braises, but I kept the glasses. I hate to touch my eyes, so contact lenses were off the table. A lot of people have told me that I grew up in a beautiful and gorgeous woman, but I didn’t believe them. I was still a little bit insecure. But Peter, he wasn’t insecure at all. I have to tell that a lot of women were falling for him, why wouldn’t they, he was like an angel, but he didn’t seem to care for them. He was devoted to his job. He had a quite successful little interior designing firm here in London and he was awesome at it. He designed my apartment though and I loved it.

One night I was at a bar drinking wine and thinking about those feelings that were bothering me inside. I didn’t know what to do.

Should I tell him or not? No, it would ruin our friendship, I can’t do it. Oh God help me decide what I should do.

I was playing with bowl of peanuts on the counter when someone coughed in front of me. Oh, it’s just a waiter.

“What is a pretty woman like you doing all alone in this bar?” He tried to flirt with me, but I really wasn’t in a mood and to be honest and a little harsh he wasn’t that pretty.

“None of your business”, I said clearly annoyed.


“Can I at least buy you a drink?” He tried again.

I was a little bit drunk so what the hell. Although he wasn’t that pretty, tall or handsome, he wasn’t ugly. So I sad yes. “Sure, why not?”

“So what are you doing here all alone? I’ve never seen you here. No offence, I just want to know.”

“ I’m thinking…” Clearly I was regretting my decision.

“Thinking about what?” Boy he was persistent for a stranger.

“Something… Why should I tell you? I don’t even know you.”

“Well, I’m someone who thinks that you are very beautiful.” He smiled at me. Clearly his smile wasn’t by far beautiful and breathtaking as Peter's. Kate, what are you doing? Stop thinking about him that way. You know that he sees you just as his best friend and little sister. So stop dreaming about him and what’s the point in talking to this man unless he distracts you.

“And does this someone have a name?”

“Yes. My name is Matt.”

I took a sip of wine and swallowed it hard and started thinking. Is it possible…? No, could it be?? Noo, no way!

“So Matt do you have a last name?”

“O'Brien.”

I took a big sip of wine, cause I couldn’t believe my ears and eyes. Same Matt that once rejected and made fun of me is now flirting with me. How ironic! Karma definitely is a bitch.

I was clearly excited to get my revenge and I was pretty sure that my eyes glowed from evil thoughts. I'm not a bad person. I just want to see if I still have feelings for him which I'm pretty sure I don’t.

I once read in a book called  'A girl he never noticed' and I think that Johnny Depp said it first that if you love two people at the same time, choose the second one, because if you really loved the first one you wouldn’t fall in love with the second one. I personally think that’s the biggest truth I've ever heard.
