Exclusively His

She woke up panting and gasping for air, something that have been her usual wake up routine for weeks now. She had the same dream again, she saw him again. Even though she couldn't make out his facial looks, she could tell it was the same man that have been hunting her dreams for days now. Was this ever going to stop? She asked herself. She raised to her feet and walked towards the kitchen of her little apartment which she shared with her best friend, Quin. She took out a can of water and drank from it like her life depended on it and honestly, at this point she wasn't sure anymore. She sat in the kitchen stood and starred at the blank walls with a billion thoughts on her head. She was so lost in thoughts that she didn't hear her best friend walk in. "Molly" Quin called out. She jumped down the stood like she had seen a ghost. When she turned and saw it was Quin, she let out a sign of relief. "God! Don't scare me like that amore". She addressed Quin in the usual name they both called each other. It was a normal thing for them to use "Amore" while talking to themselves. They created that name when they were in grade 6 and they have kept it up till this very moment. "I'm sorry Amore moi, I heard footsteps and I came to check it out". She said as she pulled out a stood and sat right next to her best friend, Molly. She looked at the bags under her best friend's eyes and felt pity for her. It was obvious that Molly have not been sleeping well and in as much as it bugged Quin alot, she couldn't force Molly to talk about it if she didn't want to. She let out a sign of frustration and decided to try her luck again. "Amore moi," she began "what's wrong? I'm getting more worried and you're getting paler each day". She told her best friend, Molly. Her worries obvious on her face. Moly torn her gaze away from the blank wall and towards the worried face of her best friend. She took in a shaking breath and release a calmer one. "I had a bad dream, Amore". She responded. Quin waited for her to continue but she didn't. When she was convinced that she wasn't going to talk again, she replied her "what was it about this time? I know you have night mares but you never tell me any. Talk to me, Amore moi." Molly looked at her and thought if she should tell Quin about her nightmares. But she herself knew just how crazy she would sound so she decided not to. Instead, she looked up to her best friend with the brightest of smiles that could appear on her face and said "I want to watch originals!!!!!" She screamed the last part while shaking her best friend. Quin knew this was her tactics to get away from the discussion but she played along regardless. "Okay, let me prepare some snack and meet you in the parlour, good?". She asked "Yeah" Molly kissed her on her cheeks as she turned on her heels and headed to the parlour.. When Molly got to the parlour, she sat on her favourite sit with her flippy soft heart shaped pillow in her hands and her thought went back to the man that have hunted her dreams for weeks now. Ever since that night at the club, she couldn't help but feel like someone was watching her. Maybe she was being paranoid but she still couldn't shake off the feeling of her being watched and followed. Her only safe heaven was and still is her apartment. She didn't know what was wrong with her. Maybe it was stressed she concluded. She was still attending college and taking shifts at pops, where she worked plus the side jobs she does most times. She really needed a break. She needed to stop worrying about stuffs that didn't make sense to even her. If she continue like this, at this rate, by next few months she will be suffering from heart attacks and grey hairs will be everywhere around her hair. She smiled to her self as she recall Quin telling her those same words. "Coffee?" Quin asked her as she handed her a cup of warm coffee. "It's 2am, amore". She replied with a smile on her face. "So?" Quin asked with her normal nonchalant attitude and expression. "You never change" she replied her while shaking her head in disbelief. "One of us has to be the stupid one, Amore moi" she said as they both burst out laughing. "But seriously, drink up so you won't fall asleep while watching the movie". "I won't fall asleep, trust me". Molly replied sounding not too sure herself. "You said that the pass ten times but you still did" Quin laughed and shakes her head at the memories of Molly falling asleep even after she promised not to. "I was tired" she tried defending herself but one look from Quin told her she wasn't buying it. "Please!! You were always a bad liar". Quin said taking a slip from her own cup of warm coffee. "Okay fine, I will drink the coffee but just know, too much of this is bad". She warned "Here you go again!! Give me some break!!" Quin faked yelled while amusement danced around in her eyes. "But I'm serious Amore". "I know Amore moi. If it makes you feel better, I brought your favourite wine alongside snacks" Quin told her knowing how much she loves the combination. "Yeahhhhhhh!!!" She screamed while doing a little happy dance. "So having coffee this early is bad but drinking wine alongside lots of junks ain't?" Quin asked with disbelief written all over her face. "Well...... Can't talk, my mouth is full with junks" she said as she stuffed her mouth with junks within her reach. "Gosh!!! How do I even know you?" Quin asked, smiling at how silly Molly looked. "Don't know but you love me regardless" she said while trying to eat all the junks she stuffed her mouth with. Molly laughed at this act of hers and she started at her best friend and wished she will be fine soon cause beneath the whole laughter, she could see how Molly was stressed out from school, work and life in general. "Yeah, I love you Amore moi" she said as she brought her in for a warm hug. "I love you too Amore but you're standing between I and my junks so can you move?" Molly winced but the amusement in her voice didn't go unnoticed. "Ouch!!! You ungrateful bish!!!" Quin faked being hurt as she passed more junks to Molly. "Don't finish them yet, we still have movies to watch". "Sure, sure. I'll try not to. Now, put the movie please!!" "Sure, sure. Pass me the remote control and the cardigan". She requested which Molly obliged to. They both stayed silent as the show began and Molly face light up with a smile, a real one this time around as she rested her head on Quin's shoulder and wished that moments like this lasted forever. Her thoughts were no longer on the man that hunted her thoughts or dreams, or on the courses she weren't doing well at, or her shifts for that day. Her thoughts were all focused on her favourite show and she wished she could leave in the moment.
