Sarina's POV:

The dream was becoming too much.

My body felt warmer but my skin tingled from his touch.Shaking my head, I got up from bed, blinked and felt my vision return to normal.

Then my face felt hotter because of the erotic dream, at the hands of the stranger and his voice.

"Holy shit. That was graphic. I can even feel the traces of his touch and-" I blushed even more when I saw that my nipples stood out like pointy sentinels.

I quickly went into the bathroom and decided to take a shower to washed off the feeling of my dream.

At the breakfast table, My mind was still preoccupied with the dream I had.

He was more insistent in touching me and his kisses felt so good and at the end he vowed to find me.

A small smile crept upon my face, vanishing instantly as I picked and pushed my eggs around my plate, wondering about the promise.

"Cousin....." Seymone suddenly pinched my hand and I yelped."Something is wrong? Why are you dazed...While smiling like a lovestruck puppy."

"I....well. I just had a very weird dream." I said then drained my cup of coffee and stood up."Get the car ready Sey. We have an appointment."

My cousin waited for for a continuat ion but when I focused on breakfast, she did not question me further even after we cleaned up and went to my appointment.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My trip to the ophthalmologist was not good news indeed. She said that I had prolonged this problem for the last two years and now I was paying for it.

I admit that the fault is all mine since I thought that my eyesight was just blurring due to her love of watching at a close angle and reading late at night.

The doctor recommends an immediate cornea transplant but now I wondered where will I get the money.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What are you thinking hmm?"Henry asked which jolted me out of my musings.

After my appointment was done and my cousin left for school, I decided to visit Henry just to make sure he isn't making the other nurses miserable.

We were outside the Home's garden where people can come out and even do some activities outside.

"I-I was just thinking if dreams mean anything, Scientifically speaking...dreams are just drawn from the sleeping person's brain waves. I keep on having dreams about a man." I said hesitantly, when Henry asked about my dream, I reluctantly talked and edited out some of the embarassing things.

He was silent for a while before he answered.

"You are getting urges Sarina, When I was your age I certainly knew how to give a woman a good time." He winked at me and cleared his throat."How long has it been since you last dated?"

"During senior year of College. B-But that isn't the point." the latest dream somehow stirred something within me and that made me uneasy; I was not used to being confused or so aroused."Strange dreams aside, I am planning on taking a loan from the bank but I am worried about the interest."

"Take my offer then. You managed to put up with my behavior for a year now and I have come to care for you like a daughter." Henry held my hand." I am an old man who simply has too much to spend."
