The Paw Of The Fox

In My Dreams

I woke up suddenly in the middle of the night. I rubbed my eyes sleepily before checking my phone.

12:00

I sighed and thumped back down in bed after shutting off my phone. I turned on my side. I reached over for my comfy pillow but touched something else. Something hard. Something warm. Someone. A body!!! I almost screamed and sat up. I looked at the man lying in my bed face down. He had a big head of curly dark hair that laid out over my comfy pillow. His arms looked strong and muscular even in the dark.

A car passed by outside sending light in through my blinds and into my room. I took the chance to get a good look at him. My mind whirled when I realized what was happening!!!

This was the Eric Carr lying in my bed!!! My wish came true!!! I gently prodded his side to wake him. He let out a groan and rolled over, right. Onto. My. Lap. I could've fainted right then and there. A strong scent of cologne filled my nose, immediately making him more attractive. His eyelids fluttered open. He immediately froze and sat up just like I had.

He looked right at me. Then studied me for a few moments.

"What's happening?" He asked.

"I could honestly ask you the same thing." I said in a low voice, careful to make sure my parents wouldn't hear. He must have gotten the hint.

"How is this possible, I'm supposed to be dead?" Eric asked in a whisper.

"I don't know, I just made a wish on some fox paw and poof, you showed up." I said with a shrug.

"Hmm, weird." He said with a frown.

"Yes, very." I nodded in response.

"Who are you?" He asked.

I went to say my name but something in my throat caught. What were the odds that out of all the people that could have gotten the fox paw was me a girl named Tiara who wished for Eric Carr? He would think this was even more weird.

"I'm...I'm Tiara." I managed to mumble.

"How old are you?" Eric asked.

"16" I said.

"What year is it?" Eric asked.

"2019, almost 2020. It's...well since its midnight already it's the day after Christmas." I said.

"Wow." Was all he said. We sat there in silence for I don't know how long.

"You're very beautiful." He finally said. My cheeks flushed and I felt a rising heat in my chest.

"Wh...why thank you." I stuttered out.

"Not much of a talker are ya?" Eric asked.

"No, I'm just in shock. It's just you've been my biggest crush for a long time and now you're in my bed and honestly my head is spinning." I said.

Eric let out a small chuckle. I blushed.

"What kind of things are going on in that mind of yours?" Eric questioned.

"Uhh." Was all I said before he laughed again.

"Its ok, you don't have to tell. Though may I ask, are you a virgin?" Eric asked. Now my face was on fire!

"Y-y-yes." I said. Eric didn't say anything. Now the suspense was killing me. I didn't know what to say or do for that matter. Right when I was about to say something Eric's hand slid onto my thigh. His strong hand lightly massaged my leg. It took everything in me not to moan. I know it was just a touch, but I had a lot going on and being a virgin made it even more of a big deal.

"Look, whatevers going on we're gonna figure it out. Things will get better." He said in a soothing voice. I could only nod.

"Ok well, in a couple of hours my parents will be up so we'll have to be extra quiet until they leave and then we can talk about stuff more." I said.

Eric nodded. "Well you look tired, why don't you get some rest?"

"Are you ok with me doing that?" I asked.

"Yeah of course, I need some sleep too." Eric said. He laid down and put his arms behind his head. I sat there. He smiled a little and patted the pillow next to him, indicating me to lay down. I slowly laid next to him. He gently slid his arm under my back. My breath hitched a little.

He curled his arm, pulling me closer. I felt my eyes flutter close as I laid my head on his chest. His strong scent filled my nose and his heart beat slowly, a rythm. A rythm that put me to sleep. About five minutes later, I was asleep.
