The sound of alarm ringing pulled Grace out of the depths of the intense dream and back into the real world. Her eyes flew open and she sat up abruptly, breathing heavily while her gaze wandered around her surroundings.
It took her a few moments to calm down her racing heart and sharp breathing, the realization of what happened finally dawning over her.
"What the hell, Grace?" She muttered under her breath as she buried her face in her palms and inhaled deeply. She could hardly believe that she just had a dream like that.
What's wrong with me? How can I dream of... him? She wondered while her thoughts momentarily returned to last moment of her dream. He was so close... his lips...
A loud groan of frustration escaped her lips as she threw the blanket away and climbed out of the bed. She was feeling devastated after having such a dream. And yet, she couldn't help but feel that this deam felt way too real.
