Sleep well tonight

1. Wake up, my love...

Chapter 1

Train - Feels good at first

"You look so beautiful, I love your freckles..." he whispered slowly trailing his fingers along my cheek.

I shifted on the grass we were laying on and rose up, holding myself on my elbow, so I could take a closer look at his face.

I took my time watching him, and he just laid still, looking back at me. I bit my bottom lip trying not to smile as I spoke. "No. You really don't have freckles. That's why I like you, so be sure you won't gain any during your time in Spain, or I'll have no chose whatsoever but to dump you."

He leant his head back and started laughing. I loved that sound so much that I couldn't help myself and chuckled slightly. He was just that amazing.

A couple of minutes passed in silence, he was looking at the sky, and I kept looking at him. Suddenly his expression changed, and he grabbed my hand, squeezing tightly.

"Come with me, please." His voice sounded so desperate and pleading that I felt tears stinging my eyes. I faced away, so he couldn't see me, laid down and put my head on his chest, wrapping my right arm around his waist. He immediately pulled me closer and wrapped his arms around me. I felt him pressing his lips on the top of my head, then nuzzling his nose in my hear and inhaling deeply.

"I really wish I could. You know I do, but I can't. I just can't." I whispered, burrying my face in his chest.

I heard and felt him sighing. He tightened his grip on me and started to stroke my hear with the palm of his hand. "I know," he said exhaling. "But can't you do anything about it? I'm sure we could find someone to take your place at your uncle's. Just let me sort it out, Jill. I want you to come with me so much..." he trailed off, pecking my head again.

I chuckled quietly and felt a tear trailing down my cheek, soaked and gone in his t-shirt, in a matter of seconds. I didn't want to answer him, didn't want him to hear my probably trembling voice. I hated him for doing this. I knew he loved me, he'd told me that enough times already, and I knew he wanted us to go to Spain together, but I couldn't, and he knew that well enough to stop bugging me about this and making it hurt even more.

"Stop it Matthew Lorens. "I said loudly, trying to sound bossy. " Or I'm seriously going to punch you in that abnormal six pack of yours..."

He chuckled like a mad man and started tickling my ribs, right where it was sure to do the most damage. I began squirming and laughing uncontrollably. He let me go when I was trying to catch my breath and couldn't even inhale normally.

Matt raised himself up, taking me with him. When we were both standing in the middle of his garden, he bent down to kiss me. He pressed me to him so hard, that it almost hurt. Then he pulled away and took my face in his hands.

"I love you so much, Jillian Abigail Gibson, and don't you dare forget it, when some random guy will try his luck with you in that stupid shop of your uncle's." He kept starring me in the eyes, so it was impossible to not take his words seriously. " I'll miss you like crazy," he whispered, shaking his head slightly, like he couldn't believe anything that was going on.

"I'll miss you, too." I assured him and tiptoed to reach his lips.

He pulled my face to his again, so his lips could reach mine, and lingered for a moment, to gently bite on my bottom lip, when he was about to pull away.

"Like crazy?" He asked, raising his left eyebrow, his eyes sparkling with excitement, or joy, or love, I didn't know, but it was definitely making my heart miss it's track of beating.

"No. I'll miss you only as much as I can, without going crazy,"

"Oh... why do you always have to be so plainspoken? Flatter my vanity a bit, won't ya?" He spoke, faking hurt and looking at me with those sparkling eyes of his.

I lifted myself to peck the tip of his nose, and pulled away saying," No, I think I won't, or else you'd become more spoiled than you already are."

With those words I pulled away from him and took off laughing. I heard him laugh too, before he started chasing after me.

And then I woke up.
