My Careful Lover

JUST A DREAM 2

Moon got out of the bed with her mouth set into a thin line, not knowing what to do with herself she decided to go and grab a bottle of water in the fridge. The scent of cinnamon filled the hallway, but she ignored it, thinking it was just her smell organ playing tricks on her, plus, her mind was still foggy from the dream. While she still tried to make sense of things happening to her, she heard a soft humming sound and groaned

"I now hear things in my own head" She whined a little and rubbed her temples.

Ocean who was standing in the middle of the kitchen with a spatula in his hand, grinned at the figure that sluggishly walked straight to the fridge without noticing him there. Her hair looked like the birds had a duel in it all night, her oversized pyjamas crawled on the floor as she moved, she looked like she was about to give up on life with the whole pitiful, but still beautiful appearance. Just looking at her alone made his whole body tingle out of excitement as his hands twitched to hold her for a while. He watched her grab a bottle of water and struggled to open it, but it wouldn't budge for a reason.

"What sort of pathetic life is this?" She whined again and let out a fake dramatic sob, thinking she was alone, but all her thinking turned to fright when she heard a deep hearty laughter from behind

"Are you usually this grumpy in the morning?" Ocean asked with a grin plastered on his face, making the girl almost jump out of her skin. She slowly turned and saw him standing tall and proud in his usual attire, a short and sleeveless shirt that showcased his muscular arms beautified with veins. He looked more perfect than ever with his hair slightly resting on his forehead, and the stubble on his face that ran across his defined jawline, giving him a more sharp and confident look.

When he started walking towards her, it was as if the shirt she saw a while ago wasn't there at all, just like she saw him in her dream. Before he could get any closer, she immediately came back to her senses and bolted out of the kitchen, leaving the man in confusion.

Ocean contemplated if he should go after her or stay in the kitchen and wait for her. Staying in an enclosed room with her isn't a wise thing to do, he told himself. Not knowing what to do, he picked up the discarded bottled water and kept it back in the fridge before checking on what he was cooking

Moon ran to her room and banged the door as if she was being chased by a monster. She dramatically panted for air as she sat on the floor to recall what just happened

"Was he really there shirtless or am I really going insane? oh my god, what sort of torture is this?" she slowly rubbed the nape of her neck with her wet palm, and tried to calm herself. She closed her eyes to relax, the dream immediately flashed behind her eyes again , and she bit her lips to suppress the groans before cupping her face in her palms

"what can be worse than almost having sex with your hot neighbour, and then seeing him first thing in the morning? I need a break from life! how am I going to face him right now without seeing him shirtless again or imagining his wet lips all over my body. I even ran away from him like a fool, could this be more embarrassing?" After a while, she managed to steady her breathing, and tried to think of something that would distract her, then she realized that Ocean literally broke into her house,

"How the hell did he get into my house? I will definitely sue him for breaking and entering. Breathe in....out...in....out, that's it. I am divine, strong, smart, beautiful, confident, fearless, sexy, and I am enough." She walked to the vanity table to look at herself, and rehearse the most suitable intimidating look she was going to flash him, but when she saw her hair, a loud groan escaped her throat before she used her fingers to make it look a bit presentable and not like a battlefield. She stood in front of the mirror and straightened her back, holding her chin up in an arrogant way before she started changing facial expressions she hoped was intimidating enough.
