Chapter 24 - Hello, Love (5) (2/2)

I woke up, again with cold sweat running through my body. My body flushed, hot in all places. My eyes scanned the room quickly, trying to find the transparent body belongs to Tom.

Damn! How could I dream of having s.e.x with him? Not to mention it felt real! What should I call this dream? A nightmare? Wrong. A good dream? No. The right word was embarrassing dream! Yeah, that must be right!

I got down from my bed and drank a glass full of water that I put on my table near my bed. Then, I took a deep breath, trying to steady my breathing and pushing away my stress by exhaling it hardly.

”It's just a dream, it's just a dream…” I mumbled, chanting those words like mantra.

After I felt sure about everything, I walked towards the bathroom. Cautiously and fully aware, I locked the door, forgetting the fact that a ghost didn't need a door to get into a room, after I inspected the bathroom thoroughly. I thought I was safe for now. I could take a bath in peace.

Warm water was flowing from the shower-head, wetting my body as I was thinking under it. The dream came back in my mind and I couldn't help it but to think that it felt real. Every touch he gave me, his kisses, it seemed to leave prints on my skin. I didn't want to erase it, I thought. No, I didn't want to erase it. The only thing I wanted to erase was the memory of us being one.

It's really embarrassing!

Was that how I would feel when I had s.e.x later? My heart was beating fast, but it felt fun. And why did I have to dream of doing it with Tom and not with Senior Rizal? I didn't intend to think pervert things with Senior Rizal, it's just…

It was confusing. You knew what was weirder than that? I did it without freaking out, calmly, as if we were really dating for real or even got married. I felt my brain itched. I should stop thinking about it, really.

I put on my towel, wrapped it around my body and walked out from the bathroom. Droplets of water were still dripping from my wet hair, but I ignored it.

”Hey, hey, you're wetting the floor!”

I didn't have to turn around to see who it was. It must be him!
