Sweet Dreams-Chapter Eleven
Sorry that it's been awhile. Hope you enjoy.
~Laura~
When Liz woke up drenched in sweat, she noticed that the other side of the bed was empty. Jason was gone. She got up and walked out of the bedroom into Kitchen where she noticed a piece of paper. It was a note from Jason. Liz picked up the note and sat on the couch and began to read it.
Dear Liz,
I couldn’t sleep so I decided to go for a walk. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be back soon.
Love always, Jason
What does this mean? Liz thought as she got up to get herself a cup of strong coffee. Did he have the same dream as I did? That thought worried her because if they were having the same dreams then maybe the dreams were showing them what was going to happen in the future. But why would he do that to her? Hurt her that bad? No, the dreams can’t be visions. Jason would never, ever do that to her.
Would he?
What the hell happened in his dreams last night? They had seemed so real and intimate but also painful at the same time. How could he do that to Liz even in his mind? But it wasn’t real and he didn’t hurt Liz. Then why are you walking the New York streets alone at 2am in the morning? A voice nagged at
him. If you don’t think or believe the dreams are showing you the future than why are you so worried? The voice was right though. Why was he so worried? Probably because he’d made mistakes in the past and didn’t want them to happen with Liz. Probably because he caught the glances that his secretary, his very attractive secretary, had been giving him ever since she started working for him. He knew that she was interested in him. But ever since he first met Liz, the thought of him and her flew out of his head. He wasn’t interested. He was totally in love with Liz and he always would be, no matter what happened. He sighed and turned around, deciding to head for Nickolas’s to talk to him about all of this.
The door to Nick’s apartment rang but all you could hear from inside was the faint sound of Nickolas’s snoring. The door rang again more insistantly which finally woke Nick up. He groaned and grumpily got out of bed and stumbled towards the door, ready to personally kill the person disrupting his sleep. He
opened the door to find Jason, looking dishevelled and in pain.
“Come in” Nick grumbled gesturing Jason in. “What’s up?”
“I need to talk to you about something important”
“What could be so important that you had to come over at 2:30 in the morning and wake me up?” Nick asked starting already to grow tired of the conversation.
“I dreamt something tonight. I dreamt that I was having an affair with my secretary and Liz came to my place to see us...........well you know. Anyway, I say the hurt in her eyes and the dream felt incredibly real. I think it might be a vision of the future but I’m not sure. What do you think?”
“Well, first of all it’s only a dream Jason. It doesn’t mean anything. Second of all, even if it was you can change that outcome. You and Liz are like soul mates or something. You guys belong together, why are you basing your future on a dream?” Nick asked.
“Yeah, you’re right Nick. I mean, the dream was nothing, right? And even if it’s showing the future I can stop it. Thanks, Nickolas. I’m sorry I woke you up.” Jason tried to reassure himself but he couldn’t help the feeling that what he dreamt would happen, no matter what he did.
“I”ll see ya later.” Jason mumbled as he headed for the door.
“Hey Jase.” Nick called out.
“Yeah?”
“Don’t let Liz get away. She’s it for you.”
“Yeah, I know.”
Liz heard the door close quietly and heard Jason approaching the bedroom.
“Hey” she whispered as he came in the room.
“Hey” Jason replied.
“So why are you up this early? Is something wrong? Did something happen to someone? It’s Brenda isn’t it?” Liz was starting to become hysterical.
“No, no. Nothing happened to Brenda or anyone else. I just needed to think about things. Work and stuff.” Jason soothed, hating lying to Elizabeth but didn’t want to upset her.
“Why don’t we go back to bed? It’s only 3:15am.” Jason suggested, a grin slowly spreading.
“That’s the best idea I’ve heard all day.” Liz replied laying back down into the bed.
The next day, after Jason left for work Elizabeth got up and had a shower. She was feeling great. After a wonderful night with Jason and a hot shower, she felt she could face anything. Well, except for the dream. That’s what she’s been calling it. The Dream. Why couldn’t she get it out of her head? It was only a dream. That was an understatement. The dream had been horrible.....seeing them together like that. It gave her shivers. She wasn’t blind. Jason was an extremely good-looking man. She’d seen tons of women looking at him when she first met him at the club. But that was different. He hadn’t acted on flirting or anything. He’d just looked at her. The way she’d always wanted to be looked at. Especially
when she was a child.....but that was a story she didn’t want to tell. Jason made her feel special. She looked at her watch. Oh great! She was going to be late. Brenda and her always went shopping on Fridays when the restaurant was closed. Then they’d go out for lunch. Then, tonight she was meeting
Jason at a new restaurant called Wildfire. They were going to have a romantic dinner and maybe he’d come back to her place, Liz mused. So she grabbed her purse and headed out to meet Brenda determined to have a great day and to not think about that certain dream.
"So how do I look in this dress?” Brenda asked Elizabeth referring to the black halter sparkly dress that she was wearing.
“Do you think Nick will like it?” Brenda asked hopefully.
“Yeah, of course. How do I look?” Liz said pointing to the wine coloured halter dress that she was wearing.
“Perfect. We’ve got the outfits, the make-up and the jewellery. Now all we need is the hair. Come on. I’ve booked us at Hairquarters for 3:00.” Brenda rambled on. They had been shopping for nearly three hours and stopped at J.J Kapps for some lunch. Now they were heading for the hair salon to get their hair done for that night. Brenda had a date with Nickolas and wanted to look extra-special for him. As
they were sitting in their chairs side by side, Brenda kept babbling on about how special Nick was, where he was taking her and how he could be The One.
“Ok Brenda, stop! I need to talk to you about something.”Liz blurted out. She couldn’t stand it anymore. She needed to tell Brenda. So as their hair was finished Liz told Brenda the whole dream and how she felt it could be showing her, her future with Jason.
“Liz, you’re overreacting. It’s just a dream. It doesn’t mean anything. Listen, you’re going to get dressed up and go to a romantic dinner with the man of your dreams. You’re going to have a great time, so don’t reck it. You got it?” Brenda demanded.
“Yes, Mom” Liz teased. She finally realized how ridiculous she was being. Jason would never do that to her and the whole idea of it was silly.
“Let’s go back to my apartment and get ready for our hot dates together.” Liz suggested, giggling.
She was just putting on the finishing touches to her make-up when Brenda came in.
“I have to get going now so I hope your date goes well. I know mine will.” Brenda said.
“Yeah, I do too. I hope you guys have fun.” Liz said as she leaned in to give Brenda a hug. “I’ll talk to you later about how it all went.”
“Ok, see ya later.”
“Bye.”
“Bye.”
With that Brenda was gone and Liz quickly finished her make-up. As soon as she was done, she grabbed her purse and left her apartment. She tagged down a cab and gave the directions to the driver.
As they passed buildings, Elizabeth thought back to what Brenda had said about the dreams. What Brenda had said was realistic but the thing was that this wasn’t the first time that she’d had visions of the future. She’d had them about her father and her mother and even Aj. But nothing had hurt as much as this one did. It was if Jason and her were......
“We’re here.” the driver told her, interrupting her thoughts. She thanked him and payed him. She stepped out of the cab and headed into the restaurant. She wove her way around tables when she finally saw Jason. But he wasn’t sitting alone. She walked up to the table and asked..... “Dad?” Liz
whispered.
