The Dream

Chapter 11

"Aaron can I speak to you for a moment?" I asked him after we finished dinner.
He nodded his head and we excused ourselves from the table.

"Uh..there's something going on. Have your parents ever spoken about your real parents? I mean do they know anything about them? I'm sorry for prying..but it's kind of important!"
I was asking in such a desperate tone that Aaron was giving me the curious looks.
"Alexis I've never asked them before and we've never spoken about them. Is there a particular reason you might be asking me this?"

"Yeah..it's just that...I mean maybe I'm over thinking it...actually you know what? Drop it. I'm.."
Alexis! What in the world are you doing? You are acting like an absolute idiot right now in front of this gorgeous boy right now!
My subconscious was shouting at me.

Aaron placed his arms on my shoulders and I felt relaxed for some odd reason.
"Listen..you know you can ask me anything. We have practically known each other from a long time. Just without knowing. If that makes sense! But yes even I have a bazillion and one questions that even I would like to know." He said playfully and that made me giggle.

"Now that's a sound I like to hear! So tell me Alexis what is it that you were trying to say earlier? "
He asked me with that twinkle in his eye. God if looks could kill.
Looks could kill? Twinkle?
What the hell was I thinking? I immediately shook the thoughts from my head and told him,

"The people who adopted me were Moyer's too." I left out a fake laugh."I mean it must be just some crazy coincidence. Like I said it's no big deal!"
Why was I shaking and telling him this? I didn't want to make a big mess out of this. It was going perfect as it was.

"Whoa! That's crazy! Sheesh!" He started laughing and I was staring at him like he was some crazy person.
"I'm so glad we weren't given last names as Moyer or else it would have been a little tough for me to get over it."
He was winking at me and laughing.
What the hell was that supposed to mean? Oh well, as long as he didn't feel the bad feel I was having because something about all this wasn't right. I planned on asking him what all he found out about my parents later on.

Aaron decided to ask his parents if they knew the people who adopted me. So we went downstairs again.
"Mom..dad...do you happen to know...err...what's their names Alexis?"
"Gary and Anna Moyer?" I quickly finished for Aaron.
Aaron's mom..Amanda was actually at the sink cleaning the dishes and as soon as I told her this..
Well let's just say a plate slipped from her hand and landed on the floor in pieces.
She was in a state of shock. When I turned to look at her husband..well, so was he.
So they know them. I knew something was up. Will these twists never end?
I silently thought to myself. Oh boy. Here goes round 1001 of drama. I was getting tired of all this new information for today. I couldn't hold so much at once. I suddenly wished I could go home and talk to my aunt. There was something obviously off about everything.
