In my dream I was back in time when we were joking around in beach and Nova was teasing me while Chris just laughed at my misery. And suddenly Nova looked at me and threw me a sad smile, I was confused for a moment and then I remembered it was all a dream.
Then I was standing alone at the beach with the gentle waves caressing me and I sat down with a rare moment of peace when I felt someone approaching me.
The footsteps came closer and closer and stopped beside me. It was Alice, she's wearing a long summer dress and when she saw me, she suddenly knelt down and caressed my cheek with such gentleness as she's touching something fragile. That's when I realized I was crying and tentatively she moved closer and without any hesitation I threw myself at her and cried my heart out. While she just hugged me throughout the time I cried, she kept reassuring me it'll be alright.
The scene changed and I was back to present and I was in the hallway outside my room when someone tapped my shoulder. I turned around and saw Nova with happiness in his eyes, I threw myself at him and hugged him tightly as if he'll disappear if I let him go. He just chuckled and shook his head, as he tried to let go, I tighten my hold.
"Sean you can let go, I won't disappear". I was so scared but believed him and when we were standing apart, he took my hand into his and told me to believe him. And believe I did, how can I not when I felt his warm hand in mine. I was about ask him something as he shook his head and placed something on my hand and disappeared into nothingness, all while saying 'We'll meet another time'.
I jolted awake with sweat pouring down and frowned as I felt something in my hand. As I opened my hands I saw something that made my jaw drop, in it lay a ring which I can swear I saw Nova wearing the last time I saw him.
Something like a fire ignited the dwindling hope in my heart and for the first in long time I felt at peace and in my dream, I saw the life in his eyes. I knew it won't be possible but I always believed in him even when I can't believe in myself. He was always there for me when I needed someone and he's my hope in this world, he literally pulled me up from hell. He was there in my darkest and lowest time of life and I would go to the ends of the world for him.
I was pulled out of my thought's when my phone rang. It was an unknown number and when I picked it up, it was filled with static noise and someone tried to speak but I can't understand anything. And then I was able to hear something, and I vaguely made out the word "photos".
I was wondering what it meant when my stomach rumbled with hunger and lifted myself off the bed and began to freshen up. After sometime I locked the door and moved towards the banquet hall for breakfast, while it had many cuisine, I took a simple breakfast and finished. I was about wander off to the beach when I saw Alice again.
When I saw her I was mesmerized by her and when she looked at my side I immediately turned away with a blush as I recalled what I dreamt of last night.
Alice's P.o.v
It was our last day of our internship and we decided to go out for a beach trip for few days that's when we came across this newly renovated beach resort. It took a lot of persuasion to convince my parents and finally we made it to it. Me and Rosie arrived first and Vanessa told us to first as she had something to do first and will join us shortly after.
When we arrived it was already eight in the night and we unloaded our luggage and went to the reception area for the keys to our room. Even though we wanted to stay together we got separated rooms for our ease. After placing our luggages I knocked on Rosie's door and when she finally did, I dragged to dinner as I was famished. Fortunately there was still food and we ate something as another announcement came to gather in the reception.
I wanted to drink something and told Rosie to go out first and when I turned around my phone buzzed and without looking away from my phone I walked away. Yeah, I know big mistake, but it was a message from Vanessa and before I could read it I knocked into someone.
And I was about fall face first when I felt someone holding me up and that's when I saw him. Those chocolate brown eyes staring at me with such intensity that I almost made me melt and I barely resisted the urge to squirm, before I could embarrass myself more, Rosie broke the trance we found ourselves in.
And for our surprise we apologised at the same time, and before I could even ask for his name he went first. I can't help but to stare at him as I felt my heart surging with energy and it almost skipped a beat. Rosie shook me and pointed towards that reception and with questioning look that said 'we need to talk '. And I can't refuse her, so we made it to the reception in silence while I can almost sense her excitement. When I entered the first thing I did was to find him, even though he was away from me like 6 feet I can clearly see him like he's beside me. Even though he was smiling for the camera, there was pain in his eyes which made my heart ache for him.
I don't know what's happening to me, he was literally a stranger and I don't even know his name but my heart always reached for him. We never met before and I had known him only for few minutes but I felt like I can trust him with my life and he would never ever hurt me.
