I Just Threw Out The Love Of My Dreams Novels & Stories

She turned to switch off the espresso machine before she came forward and patted my knee as she said, “Sweetheart, you say you don’t trust him but the fact that he makes you feel alive without anything holding you back says something else.” I nodded. “I know. But what if he leaves again. And,” I looked at her as I said, “If he leaves, he’ll take my dream with him. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to let anyone else touch me, Mom. He’s the only one whose touch doesn’t make feel like I’m going to get sick. Maybe I could preserve my heart this time, but I can't lose my dream.”

Her eyes narrowed. "Babysitter." She stared at me in disbelief. "I'm twenty. I'm not a child, Shane." "I know." "Then stop calling yourself my babysitter." "Father basically told me to keep you out of trouble." I leaned back. "That's not babysitting." "Close enough." She grabbed a pillow and threw it at me. I caught it against my chest. "Violence won't solve your problems." "Neither will your stupid jokes." "At least my jokes are keeping you from crying."

"All I'm asking is that she do a match to save our children!" I looked at them, their voices rising as though I wasn't even there, and spoke flatly. "So this is your love, huh, Wayne? How disgusting!" "No, it's not like that, Arden! I would never put you in danger. I only agreed to her plan as a stopgap—I have nothing to do with her anymore!"

I closed my eyes and let love succumb around me, hoping that this was gonna be forever, even in my dreams. ........

With the help of the man in my dreams. TO BE CONTINUED

I told him in between laughs before turning to unlock the front door. "I was right after all. You do love me" Ryder's voice had halted me and I turned around to face him. "Keep dreaming Ryder. Just keep on dreaming" I turned around quickly and pushed the door open and slipped inside with a hard blush on my face. I totally love messing with him no doubt.

I had once imagined that one day, I would hold Olivia’s hand and stand proudly before my father and introduce him to the woman I love. I never thought that the very person I loved would kill me one day. No, I couldn't die yet. I haven’t made these two pay for what they’ve done! A jolt of clarity hit me. Slowly, I moved my left hand, wiping the cream off my face. Fresh air rushed into my lungs like lifeblood, and my mind snapped back into focus. The jeers and insults around me poured back into my ears. The sky was growing darker. Almost there. I should just hold on a little longer.

My heart is so sorry for me. I want to fix what Lucas and I started. I want us to fix everything. I still want to bring back everything. But it seems that will not happen! What I want will never happen! Until I really want my dreams? It hurts! I never thought that would happen to me! My dreams were destroyed. I lost everything that was meant for me. "I want to let him go but I can't. My heart can't let him go. Lucas is the only man in my heart. Only him and no one else."

"Does it even matter now? Even if I were healthy, I never would have lasted long enough for you to finally turn around and look at me. I overheard your friends talking. Apparently, I wasn't even someone you'd be willing to settle for. I used to think we'd actually make it to the end." A strand of hair slipped from behind my ear. I turned my face away so he wouldn't see my tearful eyes. "The moment you slipped that ring on another woman's finger in the wedding I had dreamed of a thousand times, we're finished. You're not the same Jason whom I love, the one willing to stop for me anymore. You're selfish and blind. You're not the same person I once loved." The last few words were barely above a

It's not what you think! Believe me! I love you! I just love you too much!" he cried. "I was just scared that I'm not good enough for you! I'm scared that if you ever saw a side of me that's imperfect, you'd stop loving me! "Just this thought drove me mad! I was just so scared of it!" He started to sob. Tears splashed onto her hands.
