So, we are just standing in front of it and staring into each other's eyes.
It isn't uncomfortable, just intense and new. We seem to be trying to figure out what the other person is thinking. That is not an easy task to accomplish. We are both trying to hide our feelings for fear.
What if he hurts me?
He is probably thinking the same thing since I can't distinguish any of his emotions. There are only flickers of emotions that pass so fast that I can't figure them out.
Finally, I crack and break eye contact, only to come close to him and hug him tightly.
He seems shocked by my actions, but I am even more stunned.
Even though I surprised him, that doesn't stop him from hugging me back. It is the tightest hug I ever received, and it feels heavenly.
His scent is intoxicating.
I want more than a hug, but I know that this has to be enough. I am not sure what I want, and I need to figure it out before I do anything I might regret.
"Thank you for the wonderful night," I whisper in his ear.
"I had a great time," I add.
"Me, too," Mark replies.
His voice sounds so husky and sexy that I have to pull back to stop myself from doing something stupid.
"See you," I say as we break apart.
"See you soon," he says, and I can feel him watching me as I walk away.
The moment I reach home, there is a text from Mark.
"It was great getting to know you. How about another date tomorrow at 7 p.m.?" The text says.
A date? I start panicking.
Was this a date? Do I want it to be a date? Do I want another one?
My head is full of questions and doubts, but another part of me doesn't let that stop me. Before I can think about it too much, I type in: "You, too. When and where?"
After making the arrangements, he sends me another message that has my heart-melting.
"Good night, sweet dreams," the message says.
"You, too," I respond, not knowing what else to say.
As time passes, I keep staring at the message. No one has ever sent me a goodnight message, and I feel giddy as a schoolgirl with a crush.
Do I have a crush on Mark?
Before he had a chance to ponder that question, Nick woke up even more confused than he was ever before.
He couldn't help but wonder what was happening to him and why the strange dreams had started being so regular and vivid.
In the past, he had a few similar dreams. Yet, he could never remember them clearly, and he always assumed that the other person in his dreams was a girl.
Now he knew he was wrong.
Not sure what that meant for him, Nick decided to take a long bath and relax.
After that, he had no idea what he would do.
