The Pursuit of the Unknown

WAS IT A DREAM...OR WAS IT REAL?!

ROSA POV

‘Finally! Sleep time for me’ picking up her night shirt and heading straight to bed, she decides to ignore that unfamiliar feeling she had in the bathroom, as if there was someone outside, ‘Paranoia should have been my middle name’ she say to herself before going to bed. She decides to enjoy the night air for a little bit before going to sleep and as tired as she was, she left it half open. She falls into a deep sleep and she has a dream. A very beautiful man, who looks a lot like Luca is sitting by her window – admiring her! He walks up to her and caresses her thigh before kissing her like a madman. It all feels so real to her, and just as he was about to enter her, he stopped and disappeared.

A little while later, her alarm goes off and she has to wake up to study for her tests. Walking to the bathroom, still a little groggy from sleep, she misses her reflection on the mirror and goes to sit on the toilet, as she reaches for her underwear, she doesn’t find anything there! ‘that’s funny,’ by this time, the sleep stupor is wearing off of her. She goes to her underwear rail and truly, her red underwear is not there which means, she should have worn it before going to bed. ‘I probably left it in the bed, whatever,’ she walks to the bedroom, catches her reflection in the mirror as she passes by and what sees is scaring her out of her mind. Her lips are swollen, there are red marks on her neck and that was when she felt her breasts were a little tender. She lifts up her sleep shirt and finds that underneath, she is stark naked, with red marks all over her body! She is bewildered beyond her imagination – she slowly walks to her bed and finds the remains of what looks like her underwear – only this time, it is ripped to shreds and a large of it is missing. She tries to recall if anything happened after she got home but she can’t really think of anything, she went straight to bed and didn’t drink that much either, where he would forget herself and act like a harlot.

She closes her eyes and the only thing she can see is Luca’s face. She fights herself really hard on this one and wonders if there was anything more that happened between them at the club and no – nothing really happened, apart from kissing in the hallway and in his office, is it possible that they met at her house? She doesn’t remember ever letting Luca in her house last night – but then ‘WHAT HAPPENED?!’ she asks herself. At this point, she can’t study so she prepares to go to school and face the day, not that she can think of anything apart from her recent encounters with a certain Luca Maldive.

...

‘Exams are over! Thank God I am finally done with school pulling out her phone she makes a call to Hazel, “Hey, where are you? Are you done? I was just calling to congratulate you. Do you have plans for the weekend? We are done with school for crying out loud! Okay, you’ll meet me later? Alright bye” She hangs up her phone and heads home. She crosses the street, leaving school campus and a short while after, bumps into Luca “Sorry, I didn’t see you there, you – what are you doing here?”

“Well hello to you too,” smiling brightly, ‘Oh my gosh! Having a crush on him doesn’t mean I have t see him everywhere’ she thought to herself, meanwhile she is staring at him and not saying a word while he held her by the shoulders. She kept recalling the wet dream she had of him a few nights ago and her face flushed red. This was somehow amusing to Luca, with a smile on his face the entire time and said to her, “I wonder what you are thinking about, but you can tell me over lunch right?” just as she was about to decline his offer, Rosa was pulled into an expensive looking car and headed downtown to the most lavish restaurant in town.
