Confession

I was enjoying my meal alone in the kitchen with explosions of thoughts about my dream still lingering in my mind. It felt so real, yet I could vividly see Alex's back by the beach, not quite the same as in my dream.

As I sipped on a glass of water, a sudden flashback occurred.

"I liked you, Alex!"

I gasped in surprise.

"No! No! That was just a dream, dear. Don't be so surprised. According to some beliefs, dreams are the exact opposite of reality!" I tried to calm myself as the scenes kept flashing back.

"Every time I call you ugly, that means you are the most beautiful woman in my eyes. When I said you're stupid, I was referring to myself that I can't even express how much I like you."

"That's nonsense!" I shouted, tapping the table in frustration. My anger was reaching its peak.

"What nonsense?" Alex's voice surprised me as he was already behind me.
