Chapter 17 – Nightmare

Blake Coster

I was surrounded by a lot of girls, they’re flirting with me and started touching my body. I tired to have fun but I couldn’t. My mind was somewhere else.

I always love when girls worship me but now I don’t felt the excitement that I used to have. Weird? Definitely.

“What are you thinking handsome?” a light brown girl was giving me a sexy stare, she has the same hair color as Jean. That took my attention but still she’s not Jean.

Just thinking about Jean made my system light up, there’s something wrong with me. Suddenly the girl beside me kissed my lips, I kissed her back and pulled her closer. The excitement wasn’t there, I felt so bland.

She ran her hands through my hair just like Jean did earlier but I don’t feel my hormone go up. I pushed her away and she looked at me shock. I stood up and make my way out from the main club. I walked out from the club and got into my car. I drove back to the hotel.

I need to fix everything with Jean or I’ll go crazy.

I was so frustrated thinking about her, why is she so difficult? I sighed and speed up my car to go to the hotel. I looked at my watch and it’s 8 p.m. Arriving at the hotel, I quickly asked the receptionist for her room key. It took a lot of time to convience them that she’s my girlfriend. I brought up my luggage with me and quickly took the lift up.

I felt this excitement everytime I’m going to see her.

I walked out from the lift and put the card to the scanner. I walked inside and I heard the TV was on. I walked slowly to check her and found her sleeping. I turned off the TV and walked slowly to her.

I looked at her and found myself smiling. I love this side of her. So calm and just peaceful. I slipped a a few strands of her hair that cover her face to the side. I caressed her cheek and kissed her forehead. Kissing her forehead was better than kissing that girl earlier.

I decided to take a shower since my body smelled alcohol. I jumped into the shower and changed into my white tee and long pants. I walked out from the bathroom while drying my hair with towel.

Suddenly, I heard a mumble, I quickly walked to the bed. I saw Jean mumbling in her sleep, sweats were coming out from her forehead. What happen to her?

“No no please!” She begged and then she screamed so loud. I quickly got on the bed and pulled her to me.

“Please! No!” She screamed again.

“Hey, hey. I’m here, it’s okay.” I whispered and caressed her shoulder trying to calm her down. She was sweating like crazy. She still mumbling something and she cried.

“Jean.. Jean! Wake up! I’m here..” I said and she opened her eyes. She turned to me with a lot of tears in her eyes.

“You okay?” I asked. I pulled her to sit beside me, she suddenly hugged me tightly. I felt her breathing pattern went crazy.

“It’s okay, I’m here.” I stroked her hair and kissed the side of her head.

“You had a nightmare.” I said and she nodded.

“You okay? You’re crying and sweating lke crazy.” I asked.

“Yeah.” She answered weakly.

“Go to sleep again, I’ll wait until you sleep. I won’t go anywhere.” I kissed the side of her head again and she nodded. She buried her head to my chest and we laid down. I stroked her hair to make sure that she felt safe.

I was shocked to see her screaming and mumbling things in her sleep. She even cried in her sleep.

“Stay with me Blake, please. Don’t leave me okay?”

“I won’t leave you.. I promise.” I said and I kept her so near. My heart was crushed to see her so fragile like this. What kind of nightmare that she get until it made her cry and scream?

“I’m sorry for earlier.” I whispered not wanting to wake her up.

“Where were you?” She suddenly asked and I thought she was asleep.

“Bar, meeting my bestfriend.” I said honestly.

“I want to take back what I said earlier about you having a mistress, Blake.” That made me smile, she doesn’t need to know that her words hurt me. I felt rejected earlier.

“Go to sleep.”

“Thankyou for the phone.” That made me smile even more knowing she will use it.

What did you do to me Jean? I’m acting like an idiot now.

“Don’t leave me okay? You can stay here as long as you let me hug you.” She said as she buried her head to my chest.

“I’m not planning to go either. Now, go to sleep. You need it.” I looked down to her and she nodded.
