7 Steps of Love

Step-7.9: Nightmare

(In case you're wondering about the "7.9" thingy, its just my way to end this story: counting down backwards)

Yousef & Lilly got back from Trinidad & Tobago, they had enjoyed their time there, but their managers advised them to get back to L.A due to the issue they had got themselves in. They were both forbidden not to get into any matters of such nature, but being good people, they couldn't let an innocent suffer

3 Days After Arrival: At Yousef's Apartment

Yousef woke up from his sleep because of a bad dream, it was another nightmare that he had seen. Lilly got up with him.

"Is it another one? Another nightmare?" she asked.

Yousef sighed, he was sweating and was obviously very terrified.

"It is over, Yousef. I am with you, it is all gone, it was just a bad dream OK?" Lilly said.

"It is alive, in my head, I can't get it out" he said.

"You will.... In time, I assure you" she said.

"I wont be getting anymore sleep tonight... So I will upload my vlog" he said as he was about to leave the room.

"Everything will be fine Yousef" Lilly said.

"I know, you don't worry OK?" Yousef said.

In the morning she got up, only to see Yousef sleeping on the couch, she kissed him on the forehead. She didn't want to wake him but he woke up feeling the touch of her kiss.

"How are you feeling?" she asked.

"I am feeling fine" Yousef answered.

She brought her face closer to his and said

"I want to thank you, for what you did for me yesterday" she said.

"You know I am always going to support you Lilly, I am glad I got to help you" he said.

"I am glad I had you by my side, I feel like I am the luckiest girl in the world" Lilly said as she brought her face closer to his. Yousef was reluctant about it, as he was still guilty of what he had done, he didn't want intimacy with Lilly, not because he didn't want it but because he was guilt-ridden. Lilly understood how he felt and let him be.

She went to her apartment, she worked on her Bawse Book, her Girl Love project and replied to her business inquiries. Yousef on the other hand went to psychiatrist as Lilly wanted him to do so. He then went to the gym and came back to work on his new Youtube video. Them and a couple of other Youtubers were invited to a formal party later that evening. They all decided to leave together, so everyone arrived at Lilly's apartment. Lauren wore a floral dress, Alex wore a Tuxedo, Yousef wore a 2 piece suit with a red tie. Lilly however had different plans, they all waited for her to get ready so they could leave, Yousef was eager to see her.. He heard her coming out of her room wearing a red dress with her Bawse lipstick on. He was astonished to see her, he couldn't take his eyes off her as she walked out of her room. Everyone, including Alex was astonished at the beauty he was witnessing. Yousef approached her 

"Well I didn't want you to look this beautiful" he said.

She smiled and said "I helped design this dress for today"

"Do you really want to go looking this beautiful? I am afraid they are going to steal you from me" Yousef joked.

"I will make sure it doesn't happen" said Lilly.

"We'll wait outside if you want some time alone though" Lauren and Alex said.

"No we're fine.. Let's go" Lilly said.
