Shared Dreams
Depature
Aggie’s POV
My ceiling wasn’t going to turn any whiter, and I think I’ve counted all the spots on it four times already, coming up with a different outcome every single time if I may add. I was still in my bed, my hand flat on my stomach.
I held it up and studied it. It didn’t look different to me, but it felt different that was for sure. Way to go Aggie, you are definitely going crazy right now.
But really, he never touched me before. Never in all these dreams we had touched. It was not that I hadn’t want him too, but even though we were very comfortable around each other, I wouldn’t have dared to take the first step. And now I was completely out of my skin, I wanted to go back to sleep so badly, I needed to see him again. Of course… falling asleep again was just stupid to even want. It never worked that way.
I sighed and swung my feet out of the bed, I shouldn’t dwell over him holding my hand, there was no use. I needed to get my head sorted out, I needed to focus on things I could control, things that were real and not only living in my head. I threw on some clothes and started my computer, better get started on those papers for Uni. They weren’t due for a few weeks, but I better had them done.
As soon as I opened my email my breath got stuck in my throat, so much for not believing in signs.
Last seats for several destinations! 50% of the 50% off prize.
Only today! It doesn’t get any cheaper than this!
Book now!! Book now!!
This wasn’t fair. I couldn’t spend the money, I just couldn’t. But my hand got a hold of the mouse already and before I knew it I had clicked, before I knew it I had selected my departing airport and before I knew it I had chosen the airport I wanted to fly to. My heart stopped when I saw that there were 2 seats available on the flight that left the next morning.
When I clicked, just curious on how much cheap was really cheap, I noticed that it was an offer I couldn’t refuse. It would be so good to go over there again, take her mind of things fully. I had a place to sleep, I would only need a little spending money. I bit her fingernail and let everything go through my mind once more and thought again about the conversation I had with the brown eyed handsome.
I needed a break, Oh my God, I soooo needed a break. I was going to take matters in my own hands, this was an offer I couldn’t refuse. Before I could even think about it again, and discard the idea… I pushed the okay button and filled in my personal details. I grabbed my purse and made the payment, my ticket appearing in my inbox only minutes later.
After that I started up skype and clicked Mei’s icon. The sound of the dialing went on and on, but nobody picked up. I looked at the time, she should be home from work right now. She fetched her phone and send her a message.
Get behind the computer, I need to talk to you
It was only two minutes before skype gave me the notification of Mei calling in.
“Are you okay?” as soon as the connection was set, Mei’s concerned face appeared on my screen. I smiled, she was always so worried about everyone, must be her mother instincts kicking in “Aggie! Are you okay? What is wrong?”
“Why do you assume something is wrong? Maybe I just wanted to see your face” I chuckled at her expression, one brow lifted, showing me she wasn’t believing anything of what I was saying.
“Nothing is wrong Mei, I just wanted to let you know that you better make your guest bed ready, because I don’t have any money for a hotel, so I’m staying with you!”
Mei’s smile grew wide as realization set in “You are coming over? For real? Don’t play me!”
I laughed while shaking my head “not fooling around, really coming over. I booked a plane ticket, I will be there tomorrow at 10.30. I have an early flight”
The face of my friend clouded immediately “But then I can’t pick you up… there is no way I’m getting a few hours off on such short notice. I’m really sorry Aggie”
“If that is the only problem, you are completely forgiven. I can make it to your house, just pick me up from the trainstation, okay? You know how I get there. Promise me you’ll wait for me there.”
She nodded and clapped her hands “OH! I’m so happy you are coming over! It is going to be so much fun, I promise! I will make you forget about everything and we will just do nice things. I promise you!”
“Good” I smiled “I’m going to pack my bag and tell my parents about this trip, that’s going to be fun” I scrunched my face. I wasn’t looking forward to that, really “I will see you tomorrow. Bye!”
I waved at the screen as I watched it go dark. I couldn’t wait to see Mei again, and I really couldn’t wait to tell him, her handsome brown eyes… Tonight… When she would meet him again, at their beach.
Brian’s POV
“HANER! Open the fuck up, I know you are in there” The pounding on the door wouldn’t stop and I knew it wouldn’t be long before Zack would think of the fact that Matt was only living next door…. And had a spare key.
I sighed. I should have known he wouldn’t let go. He was always there, bugging me. Couldn’t he just take a hint? I threw the last things into my suitcase and zipped it up, dragging it behind me as I made my way from my room to the hallway.
“GATES! OPEN UP! I see you walking around, don’t be an ass”
In my passing I opened the door, not stopping for even a second to properly let Zack in. I set my suitcase in the hallway and went into my living room to grab my laptop, my phone, earplugs and passport. I wouldn’t need much, but I definitely needed my music.
Zack followed me into the living room and leaned on my breakfast counter “You can’t send messages like that, not reply and then expect me to just leave it.” I didn’t reply. I wasn’t in the mood for talking, hence me not replying to any messages. I was stuffing my other stuff into a backpack and checked if I had everything. I had to hurry if I wanted to catch my flight. It wouldn’t be long before I had to leave. Intercontinental flights always asked longer time to check into.
“GATES!” Zack’s voice finally came through to me again.
“What?!” I snapped at him, only stopping for a second.
“Where are you going?”
“Away. I told you.”
“You can’t just leave like that. I mean, does anyone know where you are going? What if something happens and we have to reach you? And why are you being an ass anyway? Why can’t you just tell where you are going?” Zack sighed and I heard him mutter under his breath “behaving even weirder than the last few days”
“See. That!” I halted and pointed at him “Exactly that is why I’m not telling anyone. You all think I’m crazy or something. You all think I’m going out of my mind” I let out annoyed. This was exactly why they didn’t deserve to know where I was going.
“Seriously, don’t give yourself such a hard time. I mean, I know the divorce is a year ago, but if you…”
I was sick and tired of everyone blaming the divorce for my behavior. It wasn’t the fucking divorce. I was fine being divorced from Michelle. Fucking fine! But Zack kept babbling on.
“Stop it, Baker. This shit isn’t about the divorce. I just need to get away for a bit, away from my surroundings, away from all you assholes, I just need to get away to get my head in the game again. I will be back on Monday. Right in time to start recording again.”
Zack was staring at me in disbelieve, but I had no time catering to his needs at this moment, I needed to leave to catch my plane. I put my backpack over my shoulder, put on a cap and sunglasses and after I grabbed my suitcase, I made my way out of my door, waiting for Zack to follow me. He just stood there and stared at me.
“You need to get the fuck out of my house so I can close up”
“Do you need a ride to the airport?” he asked as he made his way out, moving in next to me.
“Are you going to give me the third degree while you drive me?”
“I…” he started. I knew enough and walked over to my own car, opening the doors.
“Don’t be stupid, I’ll drive you, I’ll keep my mouth shut.”
The drive over to the airport had been quiet. Zack indeed kept his promise and didn’t say one word. He first spoke when we reached the airport “Where should I drop you off?”
“Intercontinental” Zack didn’t say anything, but I could see the wheels in his head turning. How would I react if he wanted something like this? When I noticed he hadn’t been his full self? Would I have let him go easily like that?
Zack pulled over to the curb, waiting for me to get out.
“I appreciate you keeping your promise. I just need some time alone, get my head sorted out. I will be back.”
“I know you will”
I opened the door and grabbed my suitcase from the back, ready to go. Before I walked inside I leaned through the window. I got his concern, I would have been worried too. So I decided I would hopefully give him some ease of mind.
“Europe. I’m heading to Europe”
My ceiling wasn’t going to turn any whiter, and I think I’ve counted all the spots on it four times already, coming up with a different outcome every single time if I may add. I was still in my bed, my hand flat on my stomach.
