Hold On...

Chapter 9. The dream.

        On the car ride home from the hospital I kept spacing out, thinking about what happened in my dream after we had left that party. I never really did like parties that much. I smiled a little and leaned my head against the passenger side window, still kind of confused about it all. Caleb's parents had come to pick us up in the morning after we came back from the hospital to take us home. I really liked Mrs. Lisa and she asked if we could maybe go shopping or have some girl time later.

        I smiled and looked over at the dashboard where the papers the doctor had signed were, spacing out again. They were reflecting the sunlight and almost blinded me. I shut my eyes and sighed, deciding it would be better to take a nap again, but I couldn't. That dream kept popping up in my head just before I could fall asleep, and eventually I gave up trying. Grabbing my pen and my journal out of my purse I started to write it down as Mrs. Lisa got into the left lane that would take us home. I tried to remember as much as I could, and started after we left the party.

                                            ~Dream~

        "Hey Cat!" Caleb yelled through the phone as soon as I said hello. "Whoa." I said pulling the phone away from my ear and sitting down on my bed. I had just gotten back from the restroom to try and finish some random book when he called. "Hey Caleb." I smiled.

        "So..." I heard his wonderful voice say over the phone. "You wanna hang out today?" I love hanging out with Caleb so I said "Yes" really enthusiastically. He made an excited sound and I smiled again. I really do love Caleb. Everything about him is absolutely perfect. He is absolutely gorgeous and nice. 

        Oh, I just know I'm gong to marry him someday. I I closed my eyes and sighed at the thought. "Hey Cat? You there?" I heard Caleb's voice say, bringing me back to reality. "Oh yeah... sorry. But yeah, I totally want to hang out. I was just going to stay home today, but I guess we can do whatever." I was telling the truth. I had absolutely no plans. In fact, I was still in my P.J.'s, an oversized shirt and my blue sofie shorts. I didn't want to get dressed at all. I was so comfy.

        "Same here... Why don't you come over here and we can watch movies, eat unhealthy food (pizza is included.), and snuggle." I laughed as I placed my bookmark into my book and set it on my nightstand. "Haha you always have the best ideas. But I hope you know," I said seriously. "I am not changing out of my P.J.'s." He laughed at that and then smugly said, "Or you could just wear nothing at all. I think your birthday suit would fit you pretty nicely." I almost dropped my phone.

        "In your dreams." I could just feel him smirking. I rolled my eyes and I was sure he could feel that too. "Can't blame a guy for trying." he said as I got up to go over to the mirror above my dresser. "Okay well I'm gonna get ready and head over in a bit. 'Byeeeeeee." He said "See you soon" and hung up.

        I tossed my phone over on the bed and looked myself up and down in the mirror. I looked more curvy than usual, and I didn't mind it at all. I looked good. I pulled my big t-shirt over my head and grabbed a gray tank top from the first drawer on my dresser. I still didn't want to put on 'real' clothes, but I did want to look a little nicer.

        I tried to brush my hair a little but quickly gave up, putting it up in a messy bun about halfway down my head. I grabbed some flip flops and headed out the door, grabbing my phone and purse. I flicked off the lights and locked the door behind me, nearly running to my car.

        I pulled into Caleb's driveway and parked the car, grabbing my purse on the way out, and walked up to Caleb's front door. I knocked and only had to wait for a few seconds. "Hey Cat." Caleb said, smiling as he opened the door.
