Dream land

Lauren went straight to bed, trying to forget everything about her worries and uncertainties, but instead of forgetting, she traveled to dream land. After all, dreams are actually formed that way, from what we dream and think about, before going to bed.

"Congratulations miss Lauren Fonder, you have been accepted and all fees have been paid in full, even advance payments were made". She receives a male from Houston and she was in smiles all through as she approach her friend Pamela, who was also very happy for her. They both danced and jumped around rejoicing that she made the right choice.

"You see, being in a contract marriage to a psycho isn't that bad you know, after all, it is only for five years, and within five years, even if you take all the shifts and double work in the entire city, you could never pay Houston's f*e, but now, it has been paid in full". Pamela says, hugging her, and just then, she turned to look behind her, she noticed that her mother was standing there, looking all strong, with a broad smile across her face.

"Mother! She rushed into her arms, and they both wept. The tears were tears of Joy. Her mother had told her something good was going to happen soon, and she is happy that she didn't lose hope.

"Thank you Lauren, for sacrificing so much to see that I am standing here now. I know it isn't your plan to marry now, but you did it for me, and I am glad". Lauren was happy to hear her mother's understanding tone. Especially the fact that she was sounding strong.

They both hug and as soon as she turned to look behind her, she was standing face to face with Mendez. She looked back at her mother, but she was not there anymore, she looked back to face Mendez, he didn't look like her ideal man, she had never really liked him, nor given him a second thought, no matter how much Pamela talked about him, but now, she is married to him.

"Enough with the hugging and laughing, go inside. You know what to do when you get there". He tells her with a stern voice. She was scared, and she didn't look back at her mother, she rushed inside the room and lay on the bed. She had to close her eyes for she doesn't want to see him lay with her, soon she started feeling his hands on her, and she had to open her eyes, when their eyes locked, she screamed, because he looked like a beast. She woke up with that scream, sweating and panting heavily. She lay on her bed, and looked round her small apartment. She had dreamt it all, though it had felt so real. Her mother has looked very happy in the dream, she seem to remember her so well, and that was all that mattered to her. She decided that she was going to Marry Lucious Mendez, even if it will take away her life, all she needs to know is that, it is only for five years and after five years, she can start her life again. Maybe she will be lucky to meet someone she will love, and she could start her life all over again. With that thought in mind, she picked her phone and dialed doctor Carter's number. He picked it at first ring.

"Lauren Fonder, how are you doing, you left my office in a hurry, but I knew you needed the time". Lauren didn't bother answering him, she nodded her head and sighed.

"I am ready". She says.

"Wow, this is great news. You can come in to the office, I will set up a meeting with you two".

"I will be there". She responded.

" I know.........He tries to tell her. But She ended the call, and didn't bother responding to whatever it is he has to say to her. She was doing this not because she is greedy, or because she wants money, but because she seem not to have any choice. Her mother's life was at stake, and if she gets kicked out, she will not be able to feed nor even have a house, she was at a dead end. Her only option was to sell five years of her life, to a psycho.
