Shades of Mr. Faulkerson(COMPLETED)

SOF: Chapter 47

"No Air"

I keep having the same dream over and over again. Once the scene was ended, it starts again. It's like an endless loop. A dream, so beautiful, I don't want to wake up. A dream so realistic, I wish it would happen. a dream so wonderful, I don't want it to stop.

But before I can think any longer, the scene starts again.

I was standing in front of a beach house. I place my hand on my fifth month pregnant belly as I feel the kicks. As I enter approach the front door. I unlocked it with my left hand, an emerald diamond ring sparkle at me before I entered the house

"Is anybody home?' I ask.

No response.

I walk into the garden. A very beautiful garden.Lots of flowers and trees. As I walk into it A huge glass door in front of me seeing everyone was outside. Patricia, Valerie and some of our friends bust chatting and laughing with each other. Richard is standing at the barbecue corner making sure nothing burns. while Samuel watching her two cute little daughters playing at the pool.

"Okay, the steaks are all done!" As Richard calls out.

Richard turns around and his eyes meets mine. He smiles at me and feel my heart, once more, skip a beat or two his eyes nearly undress me.

Once I open the door, to step out, but I can't. Then suddenly  everything goes backwards and I'm standing in front of the beach house.

Instead of walking up the veranda and unlocking the front door, I walk around around the house. I walk down the beige stone path, which is leading me through beautiful peonies, lilies and carnations my favorite flowers. The smell is so amazing that I nearly forgot my mission. I open the huge white garden gate and walk through the perfectly trimmed grass. I see the same image as before: Patricia, Valerie and some of our friends, Samuel is still at the pool with the two cute little girls playing and Richard at the barbecue.

  "Okay, the steaks are all done!"  he calls out again. Then his glaze meets mine and I feel my pulse rising.

"Wake up Nicomaine." he says to me in a very strong and clear voice.

I open my mouth, but before I can ask him anything the scene goes backwards again- Until I'm standing in front of the beach house.

What the hell is going on?! Why can't I reach them? Why is he telling me to wake up?!

I took a deep breath before I enter the house again, this time I know my aim. I walk straight into the garden, but this time it's not Richard's eyes I meet, this time it's Patricia's.

"Maine, you need to wake up. Please. He needs you." she says to me, but others don't seem to hear.

I open my mouth again, to ask her what she means. But before I do anything more the scene goes backwards and I'm standing in front f the beach house.

Fuck! What the hell am I doing wrong?! How can I finally reach them?!

I kick the stone in front of me  full frustration and confusion as well on what is going on. I unlock the front door and walk into the kitchen. There is no way I can reach them into the garden. I know that now. So instead of going to them, I'm going to wait until someone walks into this house. I sit down on a bar stool next to the island and start waiting. And waiting............and waiting.

After hours, I hear someone walking into the house. I quickly get off the bar stool and follow the noise I'm hearing. then I meet Lizzie.

She stops as soon as she sees me. Then she smiles sadly, "Maine, we miss you." she says into my face with the same clear voice as Patricia and Richard before her.
