These Dreams

Just Talking

NOTE: Each story I write I always write with a soundtrack. Certain chapters always have certain songs I play and sometimes it's the same song for more then one chapter. Music helps me to set the mood or the tone, also the time period and this particular story is very, very song heavy. Similar to, Strings. I really had to go back in time for this one and it brought up many memories of my own that I had forgotten.  Thanks for reading again guys and I hope you continue to enjoy this story! And for those of you not alive in the 80's it was a great time and had some great music! Enjoy!

Up Where We Belong- Joe Coker, Jennifer Warnes '82

STEF POV

"Think ya'll sleep tonight?" I  asked Lena as the movie had just ended and she pulled her face out of my arm. Not that I minded for my heart was literally going insane for she had held my hand the entire time and had been more close to me then I could imagine. Crap I had to really watch myself for the crush I had on her was freaking intense and I didn't want to embarrass myself.  She probably had a million boyfriends back where she was from in Ohio and would probably have one here too.

"Oh yeah I'll be fine. Totally. I'll just try not to dream." She laughed awkwardly as we got up and exited the movie with the rest of the audience.

"That might be hard."

"So you weren't scared at all? Not even a tiny bit?" She asked surprised as we made our way to my car.

"Nah. Told ya it's all fake sweets!" Clearly lying for it was definitely more creepy then I thought I had to admit that I didn't want to dream myself either. But there was no way I was going to admit that to her ever so she seemed spooked enough. "So you need to get home or do you wanna hang more a bit?"

"Um my crefew is not until 11 and it's only 8:30. I mean what do you want to do?"

"Well you wanna go to the beach?"

"It's almost dark out."

"Ha no kidding Sherlock! What you scared Freddy will get ya?" I joked poking her stomach and unlocking her door with my key. It was so hard for me to not tease her because she was so fucking cute and nervous that it made me just want to kiss her even more. The fact that she stayed in my arm the entire movie was freaking crazy and I could still feel her pressed into me. Hell what did I know about this? I barely had a boyfriend and had only kissed one or two guys and hated it. Hated it with a passion even if I pretended not to.

"No! Stop!I'm not scared."

"Ha! Sure. Then we can go for a bit and you can come over if you want. Unless you wanna read? We could get pizza."

"I will read tomorrow if you must know."

"Alright smarty pants then buckle up! I got my dads car till at least 10."

Smiling myself which all I seemed to freaking do in her presence this wasn't like my normal outings with Tess. Far from it and I was being way to fucking goofy myself and totally silly. Lena was really getting my heart for she was much nicer then Tess and incredibly sweet. She wasn't too open, not as open as Tess but I figured she would be after sometime for we didn't know each other that well really. But she was comforting to say the least and seemed to have a somewhat good influence on me for Friday nights I was known sometimes to get wasted with Mike and his friends.  But Lena wasn't that kind of person and I knew it which was why I didn't even smoke in front of her. Turning the radio knob on,Journey, played in the background as we made our way to the beach. Being she was new to Cali I wasn't sure how much she had gone out and discovered. But considering how bitchy Tess was being she probably didn't see much.

"So you been to the beach yet here?"

"No. When I got here I had to go to school the next day  basically."
