The Dream

Chapter 5

"Thank you." I smied as we walked up onto the staircase the lead to the dorm rooms. "For what?" Eric asked his hand still intertwined in mine.

"For being you." I reply. "For calming me down." "For.." but before I got to finish the sentence his lips were on mine again. I pulled him closer leaning into his warm body. Pulling apart from him I look up as he smiles at me.

"That." I laugh smiling back. "You're welcome, but if you keep thanking me imma keep kissing you." "Well if that's the case." I smirk causing Eric to grab me and pull me into another kiss.

I didn't care who saw at that moment. All I cared about was his lips on mine, His hands around my waist, and his body pressed to mine. "I gotta go." I say gently touching his face as I pull back.

"Okay." he smiled placing his forehead on mine. "I'll see you later." "Deffo." I answered kissing him quickly before heading up the stairs and into the dorm room hallway.

"Oh my god, there you are!" Kayla said hugging my neck as I closed the door. "Hey to you too." I laugh when she released me. "You had us scared to death." Sarah almost screamed hugging me tight.

"I'm fine." I replied back releasing myself from her death grip. "Where were you." "I was with Eric." I reply calmly. "Woah, what?" the girls reply together sitting down beside me.

"Yeah, you heard correct." I smirk "Okay, so ummm what about James?" Sarah asked. "Well he hates me.... Jordan hates me... I'm pretty sure Mark is gonna hate me when he finds out so at this point I don't care." I breathe as I pull my hair into a sideways ponytail.

"Lana what happened to you?" Sarah asked. "Nothing, but I'm not gonna cry over it when I literally have the boy of my dreams right in front of me, who actually likes me."

Kayla smiled gently grabbing my shoulders with her small pink polished nails giving a little squeeze. "Then be with him Lana." "Don't let anyone get in you're way of true love."

"And what about James?" I ask my eyebrows arched up in curiosity. "I can handle him." Kayla smiled. "Okay then." I shrugged "I'm gonna go find Eric." I hug my friends and close the door behind me.

"Eric." I smile walking up to him a few mins later. "Hey, I wouldn't consider this later but I'm happy to see you." he laughed turning around his black tossaled hair falling into his face. "I thought about it, and since we both like each other why not see where this goes."

"Are you sure?" Eric asked hope shining in his eyes. I smile walking up to him and smashing his lips on mine. I look up at him as I move back a smile place smuggly on my face. "Is that sure enough for you? " I ask.

"Yep." he laughed grabbing me back to him and kissing me again. I smiled into the kiss wrapping my arms around him pulling myself closer to him if that was even possible.

~6 months later~

I stare out the window listening to the birds chirping as the hot spring sun shone threw the window. I lay back across Erics bed as he jabbered on to his roomate.

"Lana, its been months babe you should at least talk to him." Eric said looking at me. I sit up and look over at my boyfriend. "I agree with him." Alex said. Alex was attractive in a way. His short blonde hair and blue eyes fit perfectly with his model like features. He white tank fit perfect against his muscular body showing off his biceps. "Fine, but its not like he wants to talk." I reply back.

"How do you know that?" Eric asked as I leaned back against him. "Cause, he hasn't talked to me in 6 months." "Maybe he's waiting for you." Alex chimed in. "Well he's the one who stopped talking to me not the other way around." I snap being stubbornly.

"Lana, stop being stubborn and go talk to your best friend." "Fine." I huff kissing Eric gently on the lips and getting off his bed. "You're a pain by the way." I laufh walking to the door looking back at Eric. His black hair wild in in his face his black tank tight agianst his muscular chest showing off his toned body and arms.

"But you love us." Alex smile causing me to snap out my thoughts. Me and Eric share a smile and I turn back to the door.

"Bye guys." I snile as I closed the door and walking down the hall. "What do I even say." I think to myself as I turn the corner. "Lana?" I look up to see Jordan, James, Sarah, and Kayla walking together.

"I umm... I'm sorry James." I blurt. "Hey its cool really it wasn't meant to be." James said so calm it actually soothed me. "Plus I found love in the right place." James breathe smiling at Kayla who instantly smiled back.

I blinked for a second before glancing down at their intertwined hands. "Woah, what." I ask looking startled mixed with excited. "About two weeks ago." Kayla said still smiling.

"Well that explains the constant happiness that keeps blinding me everyday." I laugh . James looked over at Kayla with a wide smile. "Everyday huh." a blush crossed Kayla's face as Me and Sarah smile. "Everyday we say together."

"Okay umm why didn't you tell me? " I ask my eyes switching back to James and Kayla. I look at them and smile. "My best friend and my best friend together." "But when did you start liking him?" I say looking at Kayla.

"I always have." Kayla said. "You just never asked." "Well I'm sorry." I said feeling a suddened ping of guilt. "Don't be you didn't know, plus it gave me the courage to finally ask him out." Kayla said.

I smile again at them feeling nothing but happiness. This is what it is suppose to feel like. "Does this mean..." " Yeah were cool." James said finishing my sentence. My smile grew as I grab his arm and pull him into a hug. "So how is your boyfriend?" James said with a smerk. I slap his arm and he lazily puts it over my shoulder.

"He's great." I say with a smile. "Good cause if he hurts you..." "I know you'll kill him." I say causing James to smile a bright smile. "Exactly." James nodded causing us all to laugh. "We look at each other for a second before I pull him into a hug again." I missed you." I assented breathing in his scent.

"So this totally means where going on double dates." Kayla exclaimed making everyone laugh. I look over at Jordan and He smiles at me causing me to grab him into a hug. "Thank you." I smile. "For what?" Jordan asked still hugging me. I pulled away and looked into his eyes. "For taking care of him."

"So can I actually officially meet this guy who stole your heart?" James asked standing next to Kayla who was smiling at me. "I wouldn't have it any other way." I beamed with a huge smile walking over to him.
