In Your Dreams

Reunited

Yonara's POV

    I've been staying at Stevie's house since the wedding, between shifts Emily and I hang out and mainly gossip about everyone we know. The dance Karen an I shared at the wedding didn't go unnoticed by Emily, who is constantly telling me to call her and she what's up. 

"I can't simply call her. I need a good reason, and I'm sure that missing her face isn't one." I throw a pillow towards her, but she avoids it and serves me more wine. "Can you believe where we are right now? Tifani is a lucky bastard. I wish I could manifest the life of my dreams as well!" I chuckle, feeling the wine rush to my face when we hear the keys giggle in the front door. I try to stand up as fast as I can, but the world spins around me a bit and I plop myself back on the couch, making Emily cackle while she watches as the door opens and a very quiet Karen tries to walk unnoticed to the kitchen.

"Hey there, Karen. Everything okay?" Karen turns towards the living room, scanning the empty bottles and walks toward the women that watch her every step like a movie. "How much did you two have to drink? I just came to leave some papers to Stevie. She will need her schedule when they come back." She shows them a few pages that she has been working on. Stevie's whole schedule depends on how well Karen can manage to fit all the things she has to do into a short period of time. 

"It loos like you've been working nonstop, so why don't you just relax and watch a movie with us? I promise it won't be any black and white classic!" Emily says throwing some pillows on the floor and making space between us for Karen. I just stare at her, not really knowing what to do. All the wine I drank goes up to my cheeks. 

Karen sits in between me and Emily, giving me a sweet smile when I hand her a blanket. A movie starts playing, and as soon as I realize what Emily is doing, I want to murder her with my own hands. "Imagine me & you, seriously?" I say way louder than I should, but maybe it is just the wine talking. Emily shushes me, and I turn my attention to the movie, feeling Karen get slowly closer to me almost leaning her head against my shoulder. Her perfume is inebriating me even more and when I focus on the TV again, the credits are already rolling and Emily is nowhere to be seen. I look down at Karen, who is fully asleep while holding a pillow. I inhale deeply knowing that I will have to wake her up. "Karen, wake up." I whisper not really sure of how to proceed. She mumbles something and leans against me, her head now on my chest that is barely covered by the nightgown that I'm wearing. My whole body feels warn, and I try to focus on anything besides the woman sleeping on my chest. "Karen, please wake up." I gently shake her arm trying to call her attention. When it fails, I move a little, and put my hand on her face, trying to fix her hair that now covers her beautiful face. She opens her eyes and blinks a little, trying to adjust to the light. When she realizes where her head is, she jolts up heavily breathing. 

" I'm so sorry, Yo. I should just go home!" I stand up, going up to Karen and giving her a hug. "You are more than welcome to stay... I'm staying in the guest house, and I'm sure you know the code." I walk by her just to get my phone and wine glass and I start walking towards the door, praying that she'll follow me... 

    Emily's POV

    I'm taking care of Stevie's dog while they're in their honeymoon, and I'm having a great time. I got to meet some amazing people, and Yonara and I basically spend the whole day together  walking  Lilly in the mornings, then running at the beach, doing yoga and we even got to throw a little party.
  I have been so busy lately, that it is really good to finally be able to just relax for a bit, even if this relaxing time comes with having to deal with some hard strong feelings towards Mick, and it gets harder and harder to ignore it now that he is around.
