KIM'S DREAM CONTINUES...
I wake up out of my deep sleep on the ship when I feel a presence next to my bed. I slowly open my eyes. I don't jump at what I see but rather, I smile at this handsome man sitting next to my bed just staring at me. He smiles back at me and then he sighs loudly. I lift my head and place it on my palm of my hand, resting my elbow on the pillow. Then I say sleepily.
"Hey"
"Hey"
"I'm happy you're back"
"Me too, me too"
He just keeps on staring and that safety returns that I felt that night on the deck of the ship. I still feel tired and lay my head back on the pillow, turning to look at his stunning face. He lifts his hand and slowly tucks a loose strand of hair behind my ear. I turn my face so that his hand brush against my cheek. I close my eyes just taking in the roughness of his hand, while I breathe in his scent. Then he says.
"I'm sorry...I...just..."
"It's okay...I wanted you to..."
