Chapter 9

Since today would normally be an early shift at the Bistro, my alarm is set for 6 o’clock, as with every Sunday. It awakens me from a deep slumber, probably better than I have slept in a long time. I slowly get out of bed, still groggy, when I realize that I slept the entire night without a nightmare. Come to think of it, I didn’t have a nightmare the night before either. What is that about? Are they finally gone? I don’t want to get my hopes up since it’s only been a couple of nights free from them. But can I finally live a normal life? Maybe being wrapped up in other, more important things is the reason. Maybe finally talking about it is helping. Maybe finally letting someone into my life and being happy for once is why. I could play this question and answer game all day trying to understand or find a good explanation, but I have to get ready for our mini road trip to San Diego. I look through my closet and try to find something to wear but then the realization slaps me hard in the face. I’m going to meet his parents. I refuse to let my panic overcome me. I quickly grab a pair of light wash jeans, an off the shoulder black sweater and my black boots. Temperature wise, I should be comfortable because the weather is warmer today. I keep my hair down and run my straightener through it. I put some makeup on and look in the mirror for a final glimpse. I’m impressed. I don’t look half bad.

Since it’s already a few minutes until 8 o’clock, I leave my dorm and lock the door to go wait outside. I turn around to walk down the hall and my hand lands on pure muscle, yep hard, fit muscle. Holy Hell. My breathing slows and my heart races. “Oh, dear Lord, are you trying to give me a heart attack?” My hand apparently has a mind of its own because I can’t seem to make myself move it off of him. I unintentionally giggle and start pulling my hand away when he grabs it and our fingers interlock.

“You are the one that’s going to give me a heart attack. God, you are breathtaking.” Yes. Please keep saying those things.

We walk out to the car hand in hand. Normally, this kind of display would gross me out, but everything seems so right with him. And I really don’t give a shit what everyone else thinks.

Casey is already in the back seat and she has a big smile on her face. “I’m so happy you came.”

“Me too.” I’m not even saying it just to be polite. I really am happy to be here with Cam and his sister. I’ve pushed people away for so long that I forgot how nice it is to be around people. Casey is a sweetheart and well Cam, there are no words to describe Cam.
