Sizzling connections

Lovely's POV 

Minutes had slowly passed by since I had laid on the floor, staring at the ceiling with a smile on my face, unable to sleep but I wasn’t frustrated or pissed by it. It was mainly because my mind kept play the kiss that had happened between me and Daxton like a broken record.

My mother words were like a blurry distinct memory, the kiss was the only thing that mattered.

I placed my index finger on my lips, tracing it softly, my eyes staring blankly upward while I recalled every single moment of the kiss that I shared with him. 

I smiled and bit my lower lips slowly, shutting my eyes. 

“Ah shit, I need to get this out of my head real quick, I have work tomorrow morning” I groaned and buried my head in between my hands, rolling on the floor in frustration. 

I finally settled and lay on my side, I really needed to sleep, I didn’t want to be caught slacking off in work, drawing my feet tiredly on the floor, I looked up the bed.

"You asleep?"

I was met with silence.

I shut my eyes tightly m, waiting for the dark arms of sleep to pull me into its embrace. 

A second slowly turned into a minute and sleep wasn’t showing any sign of embracing me anytime soon. 

His image appeared again behind my eyes, that scene slowly replaying behind my eyes, denying me from sleeping again. I didn’t try to get the scene behind my eyes like I usually try to, I let it play again this time, relieving when the kiss happened, sleep welcomed me without me knowing.

I saw a wolf, a huge black wolf. I looked around trying to figure out where I was but all I could see was a maze of trees, my heart thundered.

The wolf standing a few feet away from me it didn't look like it was a normal wolf, it was more compared to the a wolf. 

It had black furs and long sharp pointed canine that looked sharp enough to rip iron apart. It stared at me like a predator stalking its prey, waiting for the perfect moment to lunge.

In this scenario there was no lie that I was the prey here and my brain was shouting at me to run but it felt as though my legs were glued to the ground with fear, I was unable to move a single limb. 

The huge wolf took a step forward, that was all I needed to turn my back to the wolf and dash off as fast as my legs could carry me but it was of no use, they couldn't carry me as far as I would have loved them to, I wasn't fast enough because it only took a second for the huge wolf to close the gap between us. 

I turned back and saw it fucking close to me, I screamed and lost my footing. 

I fell to the floor and before I could even think of standing up, the huge black wolf's teeth was already close to my neck. 

My eyes widened in fear, my mouth parted wide open, fear clawing it way into my heart, I let out a huge scream, closing my eyes.

I jumped up from the floor, sitting up, my chest heaving up and down in fright, I sighed and relaxed my back against the wall behind me.

I groaned and rubbed my temples in frustration, I wasn’t even allowed to sleep peacefully, this is by far one of the worst nights ever. 

I tilted my head to the digital clock, my eyes widened again in shock and I jumped up to my feet, a surprised expression plastered on my face. 

“How?” I muttered under my breath and dashed off to the bathroom to prepare for work, I have only a few minutes left to get ready and also arrive at work. 

It was impossible, very impossible, there was no way I was going to brush my teeth, take my bath, dress up, and arrive in work in a few minutes. 

“Oh Mother of Neptune,” I muttered for the umpteenth time in the span of thirty minutes as I fumbled around, trying to put paste on my toothbrush. I checked the time again, I gritted my teeth, still struggling to beat time and get prepared as fast as I could but deep down, I knew I wouldn't be able to make it in time. 

****

Unfortunately I arrived in work a few minutes late and here I was, standing in my boss's office with my hands behind me, with my eyes glued on the floor and trying to find a reasonable answer to the question he asked. 

“Lovely,” he called again and I raised my head to face him. 

“I asked a question, didn’t I? Why are you late to work ?” he repeated his question. 

“Um… I… I don’t really um…” I stuttered, struggling to let the words out. 

“It was because of a bad dream that I had, I was face to face with a very huge wolf, exactly like the ones that are seen in fiction novels, it gave me a chase and nearly sank his teeth into my neck” 

Of course, I didn’t say that, in as much as I would love to say it, it was the truth after all, but I couldn’t. Who in his or her right senses would believe something like that?

I moved my eyes around his face, avoiding maintaining eye contact with him till my eyes landed on his lips and now I was reminded of what happened the previous day, I couldn’t help but fantasize crashing my lips on his again. 

His chuckle drew me out of my thoughts, “Get me my schedule for the day,” he said. 

I nodded my head and turned my back to him, walking out of his office, the fantasy I had in my head a few seconds ago in his office resuming from where it stopped. 

There was this urge to go back and do what exactly my heart and body wanted,but I felt like I didn't have the right to.
