CHAPTER SIX: Lies
And then she woke up...
Nadine bolted up from the bed, her heart rapidly pounding on her chest whilst her breath quickened. She felt icky from all the sweat on her body. Grabbing a glass of water from the night stand and downing it quickly, her throat was dry.
She tried to calm herself from the dream.
The dream.
She couldn't wrap her mind around what happened in the dream of hers. She thought of maybe it was a sign from the universe.
A warning.
A sign that she needs to wake up and come into her sense before fucking everything.
Grabbing the phone from the nightstand to text Lauren right away.
Lau, I need to talk to you.
Lauren was in the midst of preparing breakfast for her and the husband - a typical English breakfast with bacon, eggs and toast with some avocado spread. When her husband, Ivan walked in to the kitchen and wrapped his arms around her waist, pecking her with kisses all over her neck.
She giggled and slightly pushing her husband away, "Ivaaaaan, ano ba. Sobrang lagkit mo."
Ivan smirked, poking Lauren's to tease her, making her squealed and guffaw with laughter, "Oh, Mrs. Dorschner. You weren't complaining last night while I was all sweaty and bothered on top of you?"
There were moments like where Lauren wasn't pissed and biting her husband's head off (the upper part); Lauren wasn't affectionate and showy unlike Ivan who was the opposite — the romantic and sweet type of person. Well, opposites do attract each other.
"Mmm, no. I don't," Wife teasingly denied then inquired, "Why don't you take a shower? Para naman presko ka na,"
"Shower with me?" Ivan waggled her brows at her.
Lauren scoffed and playfully rolled her eyes at him, "Ano ba, Ivan. Ang harot harot mo talaga. Nakikita mo naman ako nagpre-prepare ng breakfast natin,"
"But you can continue that later. Also, I'm not hungry for food. I'm hungry for you," He bellowed in a husky voice.
"Fine," Lauren finally agreed but then her ears perked when she heard a door bell coming from the front door.
"Is someone supposed to be here? Did you invite someone?" Ivan asked in irritation because their moment was ruined.
Lauren only shrugged her shoulders, then Ivan walked towards the front door and opened it, revealing Nadine in her hoodie and sweatpants, "Hey, I hope I'm not interrupting you guys,"
"Who is that? Is it Nadine? Naddie! Come in!" Lauren shouted from the kitchen in pure excitement.
Ivan sighed and shook his head, "Of course not,"
Nadine welcomed herself inside and went straight away to the kitchen where Lauren was at. She gave her friend a quick peck on the cheeks as a greeting, "Sorry, I didn't meant to bother you, guys. But I really need to tell you about this certain dream I had,"
Ivan watched both of the women and knew that they were already inside their little bubble. Sighing again he then rubbed the back of his neck, "I had no choice but to shower alone then," He mumbled under his breath and walked upstairs.
