Before it's too late

Chapter 1

APOV

Tossing and turning I wake from a bad dream. I'm dreaming about him again, what if he leaves and never comes back? Will he stay in touch with me?

In my mind I see my inner judge standing with her arms crossed frowning at me. Ugh it's 4am Ana stop thinking about that god dam man. I check my phone, I see a notification on Facebook. It's a friend request... it's a friend request from him.. my heart fills with joy. He does want to be my friend. Sat with a smile on my face I accept his request.

Within minutes I hear my phone ping. It's him.. he actually wants to talk to me. Bursting with excitement I open the message. "Good evening Anastasia, how are you?" Oh he cares he wants to know how I am "why are you awake at this hour" why am I at this hour hmm I wonder, it's because of you... you're the reason I'm awake, and the inner judge strikes again. I start to type "good morning Christian, if I said I'm okay I'd be lying" I'm not okay because I can't stop thinking about you and that's not normal "I'm awake because I had a bad dream" I hit send. Why did I say I had a bad dream, I can't tell him about it. What if.. before I could finish my trail of thought I hear another ping. "Someone else to join the nightmare club" the nightmare club? Is there such thing. Dose this mean he gets them too? "The nightmare club, where do I sign my name?" Where do I sign my name.. Ana how stupid can you be. Ping!

"Anastasia what could you possibly be having bad dreams about?" SHIT I can't say why "is something or someone bothering you?" Yes you're bothering me.. with your sexy smile and those big grey eyes. I start to panic I can't tell him this... the truth. Gosh Ana pull yourself together. I start typing "yes Christian something/someone is bothering me.." part of me is saying press send and the other saying delete. Another message from Christian pops up "Anastasia I'd like to talk about this in the morning" oh is he saying goodbye "I know it's already the morning but what I mean is we should talk about it at work? Maybe we can have lunch together" OMG is he inviting me to have lunch with him. I can't have lunch with him, especially not talk about my nightmares.. the nightmares that are all about him leaving and never coming back.

I clear my previous message "sure, I'd love to have lunch with you. I'll let you get some rest. See you soon x"

Waiting nervously I hear a ping.

"Look forward to our first nightmare club meeting, 12:30 in the canteen on the dot! Don't be late miss Steele" oh now he's using my last name "goodnight sweet dreams" with a smile on my face I slowly drift off to sleep.
