Rebecca almost jumped from her seat, she had forgotten about her friend's coming that she wasn't expecting anyone so soon, she looked up at him and wished he wasn't around, she wanted to enjoy her view alone. Seeing the man she had seen in her dream felt more like a tale to her, she couldn't believe it her self let alone sharing the details with someone else, people would think she was hallucinating or like a friend would say, you are watching too many Nigerian movies. She decided to pretend she was with him when her heart and mind was so far away.
"Why are you here girlfriend?
"I am running away.
She answered not shy in anyway about opening up to Josh, he was like a brother to her, he was more than a friend, he was friend in need and indeed. She didn't want to be judged and she knew Josh was the only one who would never judge her but looking at him now she really wish he wasn't with her, she wanted to admire her dream man in peace.
"Thanks Josh for coming, you really shouldn't have bothered, I just called you to tell you I am okay and to inform you about where I am, I didn't think you would come"
"Well I couldn't let you finish this nice meal alone"
She smiled at him, that was so Josh, always too interested in free food, he could buy himself just anything he wanted but he would never say no to free food.
Rebecca continue to steal glances at the man across her, she couldn't help but wonder why she saw this exact same man in her dream, she didn't bother to remember the other older man even though they had a striking resemblance, she was more interested in the younger version.
She wasn't a religious person and she hardly prayed but she needed her dreams to come through so she prayed to God in her mind.
"Why are you staring at him?
Rebecca was caught off guard.
"Sorry who?
She asked as if unaware of her own act.
"You have been staring at Charles Peterson since I got here and even before I got here, why are you staring at him as if you haven't seen him before?
"So his name is Peterson, but I don't know him"
"You are joking right?
Who doesn't know the Peterson family, they are one of the most powerful family in the federation and this hotel is one of his own.
"But the hotel is named Browny?
"It could be names anything but it belongs to them, the Peterson, now back to my question, why are you staring at him, you could strip him off his garment with your eyes"
Rebecca didn't know how to respond to her friend, she had surely been looking at him but she was only shocked as to how it was possible that a man she dreamt about a while ago was sitting just across her, if she couldn't believe it herself, why would anyone believe her.
"Well I think he is cute, don't you?
"He is straight for me to think he is cute even though he is and he is already taken for you to be wishing he was sitting here with you"
Rebecca smiled at her friend, he guessed right, she really wish he was sitting right next to her and they were sharing the same table,
This was the first time she was feeling this way, she wasn't happy that he was already taken, but since she was only a girlfriend to him, she wasn't going to give up on dreaming.
She looked at her friend and told him the honest truth.
"I think I like him"
Josh was now shocked, he had always thought his friend was a lesbian or not just okay because she had never been seen with anyone, she never talked about love or even likeness, she was too serious with life and work and she dresses like she was on her way to church all the time.
"That is his girlfriend, she is a no nonsense person, infact I hear they recently got engaged, don't try to compete with someone like that, you wouldn't win.
That was the first time she heard Josh discourage her, he was always supporting and encouraging her to try something new but now he was telling her she wouldn't win, she felt bad so she decided not to tell him she had any Dream about him, she nodded and started eating her food, Josh made his order and started eating immediately the food arrived.
They both are in silent even though she wished she could hear more about Charles Peterson from Josh, she also didn't want any more discouragement, so she ate quietly.
