I have never felt like this
before. I’m seeing him again tomorrow night.”
Her mouth flew open and
she took a sharp breath. “Oh my god Layla! You lucky little minx!
Well I’d say that man is hooked on you and has been ever since you
backed your ass into that door, maybe that’s why he never saw you
coming. He was too busy staring at your ass through the
glass.”
I laughed and hurled my
pillow at her. She chucked it right back and we both fell into
hysterics. Composing myself, I slid out of my dress and into a
night shirt. My cell phone buzzed inside my bag making it move
across the bed as if it were possessed. I took it out and opened
the message.
Counting down the hours
till I shall see you again. Sweet dreams. J xx

A girlish squeal escaped
my lips and I hugged the phone to my chest. Amy eyed me
quizzically. “What did he say?”
I wasn’t sharing this
with her. This was mine and I wanted to hold the moment captive
forever. “Oh nothing. Just wishing me a goodnight.” Quickly
changing his name in my contact list, I placed the phone on my bed
side cabinet and yawned loudly. “I’m really tired and I gotta get
up for class in about seven hours. Goodnight Amy.” Raising her
eyebrows at me she shook her head. She wasn’t buying my “Just
wishing me goodnight” story one bit but she obviously respected my
privacy because she didn’t press me for information. Wishing me a
goodnight, she switched out the light. The sooner I slept, the
sooner tomorrow would come and I would be with him again. The
thought brought pleasant memories to my mind and I welcomed them as
I began to drift off to sleep. Sweet dreams indeed. Sweet dreams of
Jared, the white and gold bedroom, the kitchen counter and whatever
tomorrow night would bring.

The Boss
I made my way through the
crowded college halls to my first class. Coming to a halt outside
Room 108, I checked my schedule: Doctor K. Harman, Psychology, Room
108. I was definitely in the right place. Nervously, I opened the
door and scoured the room for Oliver’s familiar face. Two rows from
the back I spotted him. His hand was waving frantically at me to
come over. Giving him a relieved smile, I waved back and made my
way to the seat next to him.
“ Hey superstar. Ready for
this?”
Slumping into my seat I
grinned. “Most definitely! I can’t wait. What about
you?”
He shrugged and gave me a
bump with his shoulder. “I dunno, it’s only a matter of time before
we all learn too much and come to the conclusion that we’re all
total whack jobs right? Men in white coats will be carting us off
in no time. But I promise I’ll still visit you when you’re drugged
up and drooling.”
I laughed and nudged him
back. “Good to know.”
Before I knew it, the
whole 3 hour class had flown by. Maybe it was because I’d spent at
least half of the time thinking about Jared and the other half
laughing at our professor with Oliver. Doc. Harman had made the
mistake of wearing a long white doctor’s coat to class and Ollie
and I simply couldn’t control ourselves. We sniggered and joked
throughout the entire class. This did get us some irritated looks
from some of the other students but Oliver simply brushed them off
with a shrug and a “what are you looking at” glare. He was quickly
becoming one of my best friends. We had the same sense of humor,
taste in music and we’d even discovered that we shared the same
taste in movies. I told him my favorite was Constantine and he’d
enthused about how that was his too.
Sauntering out of the
class and into the crowded halls once more, Ollie walked close
beside me and draped his arm over my shoulder. “So, how was your
date? I hope he behaved like the perfect gentleman.”
I smiled bashfully. Ollie
spotted it and rolled his eyes. “Oh I see. It went well then?
Seeing him again?”
I leaned into him and
sighed. “It was great. I had a really good time. He was a perfect
gentleman. In fact it
before. I’m seeing him again tomorrow night.”
Her mouth flew open and
she took a sharp breath. “Oh my god Layla! You lucky little minx!
