"Whoa so your saying you just met the guy in your dreams and you didn't ask him out!?" Lane yells making me throw popcorn at his head. "SHUT UP!!!

Just because what I wrote came true doesn't mean it's him I mean it looked like him.. but random weird things happen like that all the time lane" I roll my eyes shoveling popcorn in my mouth by the handful. "Whatever " he muttered taking the popcorn bowl from me. I drift to sleep on the couch hoping and not hoping to dream of him all at the same time.

When I wake up lane is gone. I get up and pull my hair back and begin to clean up the mess
From last night. after cleaning up the mess I go upstairs to my bedroom and I put my bathing suit on and a shirt and shorts over it.

I take my hair down and brush through the unruly waves. I quickly braid it and grab my journal. I grab my keys in my way out not bothering to even put shoes on. I open the trunk of my car and I grab my random flip flops for days like this. I drive past the grocery store on third thinking about last night. I wonder...I continue to drive until I come to a stop in front of the apartments I dreamed he lived in years ago.

If Only I could remember the number think. THINK. 2...250?...no lower more like 204? That's it!!! Apartment 204. I walk into the lobby and I take the stairs to the second floor. I follow the numbers counting under my breath as I passed them. When I reach apartment 204 I freeze.

I stare at the door like it's either a door to either heaven or hell. May the odds ever be in my favor. I knock instantly regretting it. As my anxiety builds I hear the door lock jiggle. A second later the door swings open revealing Oliver standing there holding an infant close to his chest. "H-hi it's me um I know This sounds crazy but want to go to the beach? we have so much to talk about." With our saying a word he pulls me into the apartment by my wrist.

"I'm babysitting actually we can hang here if that's okay..?" He says standing in the middle of the living space rocking the baby back and forth. "Uh, yea. Sure" I say standing there awkwardly staring at him thinking of all we have done in the dreams. "Your thinking what I'm thinking" he smirks staring deep into my blue crystals with his emerald green stones.

"I'm thinking about you," I say looking down
"I'm thinking about us," he says reaching his finger under my chin and lifting it up.

"I-I never thought you'd become real.," I said moving closer to him looking down at the baby with him smiling. "Here let me go lay him down and then we can talk okay?" he says looking down at me looking at the baby. "Okay" I whisper as he walks off.

While he is gone I check my phone to see one hundred text form lane. I ignore them and I sit on the couch waiting for him to come back. When he comes back he sits down next to me and smiles.

"You've had the dreams."

"I've had them for years. And I just thought it was nothing. Until last night when I saw you"

"I already know you in my mind," he says turning to face me.

"And I know you in mine Oliver Reese McRae"

"Wow. Adalyania grace carpenter. Didn't know you'd remember" he laughs blushing a little.

"I remember everything. Your smell, the way push your hair back on the same side. your green eyes that pierce into me like knives"

As soon as I said This the baby began crying Oliver frustrated and tired facepalmed. "I'll get him olly," I say standing up and walking through the apartment like I know that place, oh wait I do. I pick up the crying baby and I walk back into the living space. I calm him down and I sit on the couch with him in my arms next to Oliver.

"My sister left without a word yesterday night. She left a note and it said she may or may not come back. She said she wasn't ready to be a mother." Oliver says looking down at the baby boy in tears. I look at him as tears fall onto his cheeks. I wipe them away with my free hand. "Olly it's okay. I promise it'll be okay I'll help you with him and if you can't keep affording rent you can come live with me in my house that my dad paid for. I'm here for you."

He looks up at me as I say this and smiles "addi, I love you". When he says this time stops a silence falls upon us. We just sit there for a second staring at each other."I love you too olly" I say breaking the silence but not breaking our eye contact.  I guess you can love a stranger. Huh.
