All Chapters of Deep Within A Dream: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Frantic, I begin looking all around. I catch a glimpse of him crossing the street from the corner of my eye. Tristan looks well refreshed. His skin is glowing, his body looks solid and chiseled. And today, he's wearing his dog tags. He looks like all man! He's wearing shades when I introduce him to Missy, but she's eyeing me as if to say, 'Baby sis, you have hit the jackpot!' I chuckle because I know she will flip once she sees his eyes. Dropping his head, he removes his hat and runs his hands through his hair. Head now lifted, he removes his sunglasses, saying, "Pleasure to meet you, Missy."Mouth dropped, Missy stared at him as if she'd seen an angel. "Oh my! Nice to meet you, Tristan. Your eyes are mesmerizing!" She giggles.Smirking my way, she asks, "So, how long have you and Jade been going steady?""Jade won't commit to me." He shrugs as he stares into my eyes."Why not? Why not Jade!?" Missy simpers.Tristan starts laughing because Missy is over the moon impressed with him.

Me: Turn to channel 13 NewsTristan: OkMe: You know what that's about?Tristan: No... let me call her and see what's upMe: OkTristan: Good looking out 😉Unable to look away from his text, my dad taps me, and I jump. "Are you alright?" He asks."Yes!""Well, come and eat. Tristan joining us?""I doubt it.""Give me your phone! You act as if you're scared of your own husband!" Mom sneers.She snatches my phone and calls Tristan. He must've said something provocative because my mom pulled the phone from her ear and gave me a disapproving look."Tristan, this is Mrs. Warring. ...Mhmm. Apology accepted. Did Jade invite you over for breakfast? Well, are you up? We have plenty for you. Oh okay. Well, be here by noon. Ok bye, bye."She hands me my phone, shaking her head. I rush to eat to be dressed by the time Tristan comes. Before I headed upstairs, I noticed Missy's sitting zoned."You're still upset?" I ask.She whispers, "You all aren't understanding me. I saw a monster devouring peo

"I needed Tristan to meet and virtually confirm some documents for a new client. I've been trying to reach him since last night. I was hoping you could reach him for me or come down and appease the clients. Hearing from his wife will calm them for a few days.""Well, I'm not his wife yet, Mr. Diego.""They don't know that. Practice makes perfect. They're a very prestigious client. Tristan will be pleased to know you saved their business from leaving us. Please?"I agree, then head to Black Corporation. Upon entering, the receptionist greets me, "Hello, Mrs. Black. Mr. Diego's in conference room C."Nodding, I walk away slightly in shock that I'm being called Mrs. Black. I enter the room with Mr. Diego and four other people. Saying only what Mr. Diego instructed me to say the clients are satisfied and sign the contract. I can't believe it."You were perfect. This calls for celebration," says Mr. Diego.We walk down the street to a seafood restaurant. "Please, Jade, call me Trey. The M

"When did you get back?" I grumble.Without answering, he comes over and tries to kiss me, but I turn my head and then move away. Eyes squinted, he bit his pear again, then pointed to the table, saying, "I just walked in. Our neighbor, Dan, just handed me his RSVP to our wedding."Neck stretched, I lean over to read his filled-out invitation, then stand back in place. Tristan pours him a glass of juice and then exits through the kitchen door without looking back. I watch him through the window. He looks so sexy with his shorts sagging and his baseball cap to the back, walking toward the lake. Now sitting on the beach, he places his glass into the sand. Hesitant, I go out in my sheer camisole and sit next to him. Refusing to look my way, he looks toward the lake, opposite my direction."Tristan, I'm sorry.""I don't think I want to marry you anymore.""Baby, look at me!"Now, on my knees, I turn his head towards me and kiss him. "Please don't leave me. I love you so much. I'm so so

Coming out of his thoughts, Captain Brunson says, "It's embarrassing for us to admit, but he was loved by many of the soldiers. He gave considerable donations to many worthy causes within the military, too. No one suspected anything, so once his time expired, he went quietly into the night, living his life.However, investigating the death of those soldiers, we found there were no wild beasts on that island. Through further investigation, we found he was a fraud and that Yuri was killed. Officer Shane Knobs was closest to him, so we used him and a model decoy. Lycanthropes are preoccupied with sex if you haven't figured that out yet.Anyway, we used her to lure him in. Instead, she got lured in and was killed. Then Shane learned that Tristan was attracted to you during that time. He suggested we use you to capture him, but you were already involved with Tristan. That's why we needed to question you. We needed to see if you knew he was deranged and if you were trying to protect him lik
