Time After Time

Troublemaker

I finally get the chance to take pictures alone with Dakota but she's unusually quiet and I'm sure I know why so I try my best and try to say something funny because apologizing won't go well right now but all I get from her is a little smile and it's time to separate and go inside the theater. When inside, they start calling our names to go on stage but skip Dakota's and I realize she didn't even come in and it was like Berlin all over again, she left me.

I wake up suddenly, sweating from the nightmare I just had. I've been having these for quite some time now, where Dakota leaves me for good after that night because of what happened on the red carpet but I'm always glad that when I wake up she's right there by my side. I try to stay quiet to not wake her up but she's moving already and two big blue eyes stare at me.

- Hey, its still 6am, what are you doing awake?

I can't help but chuckle at how sleepy she sounds so I kiss her forehead and lay down back again. – I didn't mean to wake you, sorry, go back to sleep.

- Did something wake you? Was I talking? I don't snore do I?

This time I actually laugh at her, how can she ask so many questions in so little time? – Baby, like you said, its 6am calm down and go back to sleep, it was nothing.

- Alright. – And in less than 5 mins we're both sleeping, holding each other, content to have one another.

Dakota usually doesn't take too long to get dressed but I'm really hungry and I wanna go get my burger so I decide to go up to our room to see what's going on. As I open the door I see her staring at the mirror, she's wearing this denim jacket that I don't recognize and notice it was the word "troublemaker" on it. I wrap my arms around her and kiss her neck. She always looks so beautiful no matter what she's wearing.

- My little troublemaker. – I tell her but she freezes.

- What did you just say? – she asks, looking straight at me like I have two heads or something.

- Your jacket, it says troublemaker and since you're mine and not too big, I said "my little troublemaker". Dakota, what's wrong? – I turn her around so she has to look at me.

- I'm fine Jamie but your burger is waiting for you. Cmon, we better get going.

And just like that she makes me forget about what just had happened but I take a mental note to find out what's going on.
