The Dreamwalker

Clumsy me

Jenna POV

I wrote down the things that he said he might need and the general area where I can find them. “I’ll grab your things and be back in a little bit,” I said with a smile. “I don’t know why you are helping me but thank you.” He looked at me thoughtfully and I didn’t know what to say to him. “Well, I guess I will head out now. See you later.” With that, I ducked out of his room before he could say anything and headed for my car. What is with Adrian that made me want to help him?

When I arrived at his apartment, I realized that he didn’t get a chance to unpack any of the boxes yet before he got hurt. It was already after 7 p.m. but I knew I had to get his things back to him at the hospital. As quickly as I could I went through his things to find his toiletries, a few sets of clean clothes, his phone, charger and wallet. He was an extremely efficient packer. All of his items where neatly wrapped and everything was in its intended box so it made finding things a breeze. I wondered if he was this neat with everything in his life. I finished getting his belongings ready and locked his door when I left his place.

I got back to hospital in record time and when I went to his room, I couldn’t help but feel relieved to see his face again. “What is wrong with me?” I thought to myself. He is a complete stranger and all of a sudden I can’t help the stupid grin on my face every time I think about Mr. Adrian Black. He was absolutely jaw droppingly handsome. He had dark brown hair, green eyes and full kissable lips that I’m sure can cause some destruction on a woman’s body.

I couldn’t help myself as I started to move closer to him while he was sleeping. I looked him up and down and when I looked at his face again, his green eyes locked onto mine. I felt embarrassed that this gorgeous man caught me checking him out. My mouth went dry and all of a sudden I couldn’t speak properly. “I… I brought you your things.” I couldn’t make eye contact anymore so I just put his bag on the nearby chair. As I turned to leave I heard him sigh. “Thank you for all you have done today. I didn’t expect any help from anyone when the cabinet fell on me this afternoon but you have taken care of me even though you don’t know me.” I looked at his face innocently and replied: “I just did what I felt was right and I’m glad that you are doing better.” “Would you like to have dinner with me sometime?” “What?” “To say thank you for today, I want to take you out to dinner.” I couldn’t believe he was actually asking me out to dinner but how can I not go out with this good looking man. “Okay, let’s have dinner when you have been discharged from the hospital.” He smiled at me for the first time and it felt as if my knees wanted to give in so obviously I blushed profusely which made him chuckle.

“It’s getting late and I still need to drive home. I’ll pop in tomorrow after work if that’s okay with you?” I wasn’t a hundred percent sure why I just said that but it came out anyway. “Drive safe and I can’t wait to see you tomorrow” he said with a wink. I just gave him a small wave and as I turned around I walked straight into the door that was behind me. This time he openly laughed at me making me blush an even brighter shade of red before I ducked out of his room and headed home. It has been a long day and my bed was calling my name.

Adrian POV

Laying in the hospital bed got me thinking of this incredible woman who felt like she needed to help me. I could have asked my father to heal me straight away but when she came to my apartment I forgot about that plan.

My father was the great Morpheus, the god of dreams, and even though he is not supposed to have any contact with his children, he still aided us from time-to-time. I have been a Dreamwalker since I turned 18. The Fates condemned all my father’s half-blooded children to a life of misery for something he did – he fell in love with a mortal and she gave him 3 children. I was the youngest of the three and the only remaining Dreamwalker.

But this gorgeous girl with auburn hair and shocking green eyes chose to help out a complete stranger. She was pure of heart and I became intrigued.

Jenna POV

When I got home from the hospital, I took a quick shower and got dressed in my favorite t-shirt and climbed into bed. As soon as my head touched the pillow I was out. I started dreaming of standing in a thick forest. It looked so real and I started walking towards a bush that had the most incredible violet colored flowers. I just wanted to touch one but before I could make contact I heard a familiar voice behind me. “I wouldn’t do that if I were you.” I turned around and looked into Adrian’s handsome face. “Those are poisonous, so I would not advise touching them.” I couldn’t believe he was here in my dream, but I wasn’t going to start complaining. “Do you want to go for a walk with me?” He held out his hand and I took it without hesitation.

As soon as we made contact he pulled me flush against his body making me shiver. He was a little over 6 feet tall so I had to crane my neck to look up at his beautiful face. His hands snaked around my waist while mine glided up his arms to around his neck. “I thought we were going for a walk” I said to him but it didn’t look like he heard anything I said. He just kept looking into my eyes while his hands roamed over my hips and my back. Before I could ask him another question he dipped down and gave me a gentle kiss on my lips. His lips were soft and warm and I kissed him back. He pulled me closer and deepened the kiss while starting to undress me. This was a dream so what the hell, right? I took his lead and started undressing him too. I gently lifted his shirt but because of the height difference he had to help get it over his head.

As soon as his lips made contact with mine again I felt him smile against me. I made quick work of his jeans and wondered how he got me naked without me feeling it. I broke the kiss for a much needed breath and I took a moment to admire his body. My god, he was breathtaking. I saw him do the same. I liked to go to the gym regularly and I’ve always focused on my stomach, butt and legs but never overdid it. “You are the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen.” He whispered softly. I stepped closer to him again and ran my fingertips over his muscles. From his arms, over his pecs and more south towards his stomach that had a perfect 6 pack of toned and hard muscle. Above his naval he had a small birthmark, almost the shape of a butterfly. Committing everything about him to memory. I was sure to remember this dream for days
