Chapter 4: Love At First Sight? Bullshit

Destiny’s Point Of View

In a dream.

I walk into the house with groceries, a ring on my left hand shine in the bright lighting of the house. Jake sitting on the couch he looks up as I enter the house. He stands up taking the bags from my hands kissing my lips as he does so. I kiss back.

“Hey beautiful how was shopping,” he says his voice like velvet.

“It was good but I missed you,” I say.

“Not as much as I missed you,” he says.

I giggle and we head to the kitchen to put away the food.

End of dream.

I shoot up wide awake after that weird dream. My heart is racing and my eyes are wide with both panic and confusion.

I try to shake off this weird feeling. And I turn on the TV hoping that it will distract me from thinking about that dream.

Jake’s Point Of View

I sit up having the same dream as Destiny. My heart racing with emotion. I head down into the living room to try and distract myself with coffee and TV.

I look at the clock on the stove and it is only six in the morning but I know that I am not gonna be able to get back to sleep with these dreams starting up.

Destiny’s Point Of View

I stretch and decide to take a cold shower needing it to cool off from that dream. I mutter to myself as I head to my bathroom seeing the hair dye that Jake bought for me to do my hair. I check the time and it is now six thirty in the morning. So why not start my hair now.

I open the box of dye and prep it. Once the dye is ready I start applying it to my hair changing it to the blue that we picked out. It is a bright vibrant blue that I am low key obsessed with. I put on the processing cap and set a timer on my phone for thirty minutes and head to get a cup of coffee.

Jake is down there when I get down there and he jumps and screams as he sees me cause I look funny with my hair up in the processing cap.

“Whoa Jake it is okay its just me,” I say trying not to laugh.

“You scared me,” he says.

“Sorry,” I say.

He chuckles at his own ability to be scared by a girl in a processing cap. I laugh with him.

“Dude that was amazing,” I say still laughing.

“I know I was like screaming over you in a processing cap with hair dye on your head,” he says laughing harder than I am.

After we finally stop laughing I head into the kitchen to get my coffee while I have time to drink it before the timer goes off in twenty five minutes. I drink my coffee and Jake and I chat a bit more till I am done and the timer on my phone goes off signaling it is time for me to head up to my bathroom and rinse out the dye.

I head back to my room after the timer goes off and I get in the shower to rinse out the dye really quick. I watch the extra dye wash away. Once the dye is all out except what stayed on my hair keeping the color I get out and dry off before getting dressed. Once I am dressed I start working on my hair by applying a heat protectant that can be used on colored hair. Once that is applied I start curling my hair slowly.

Once my hair is done and I am ready for the day I head down the stairs where Jake is waiting to see my new look.

“So what do you think?” I ask.

“I love it. It looks amazing,” he says with a warm smile.

“Thanks,” I say.

“So what is the plan for today?” I ask.

“I was thinking we could call your mom and see if she can talk to Elianna’s parents to see if she can come out here and hang out with you for a week,” Jake says.

“OMG, OMG, OMG, that would amazing. Thanks Jake,” I squeal.

Jake chuckles at my squealing and picks up his phone dialing my mom Evalynn’s number. The phone rings as we wait for my mom to answer.

“Hello?” my mom says.

“Hey EValynn I have someone who wants to talk to you,” Jake says.

“Oh is it Destiny?” She asks.

“Yes it is,” Jake says.

“Hey mom,” I say super excitedly which shocks her.

“Hey sweetie you sound super happy,” she says slightly shocked.

After a while the call ends with confirmation that Elianna’s mom and dad agreed to let her come to see me in LA for a week. I am over the moon about it. I am rushing around the house to get everything ready for her visit seeing as she will be here tomorrow. I am deep cleaning the entire house which makes Jake amused at just how excited I am for this visit.

Once the house is spotless Jake and I have dinner and he hands me a card for Elianna and I to go shopping with and there is no limit on the card he just said to keep it reasonable. Which we will. After dinner I head straight to bed and get comfortable despite knowing that I will most definitely have the same dream about Jake again tonight. Once my head hits the pillow I am out like a light. The dream starts almost immediately but this time I try my best to ignore it. Cause I know I need my sleep if Elianna is coming tomorrow.

Jake walks past my room on the way to his so he can also get some sleep. The house falls quiet once we both are asleep preparing for tomorrow.
