Caitlin dropped her phone in shock. What had he just said? He had said his name was Barry. Barry. Why did that name trigger something in her? Who was this Barry? Did she know him? But that was impossible as she'd never met him before in her life. So who was he and why did she feel like this? Caitlin shook her head and got ready for bed. Tomorrow was going to be a big day. She had finally found her piece of music. Now she just hoped that he would agree to her terms and conditions and sign the contract
"Caitlin, did we just come out here so you could tie a ribbon to a tree?"
"Shut up. Do you not know what this is?"
"No. But I know that you do so please enlighten me my love"
"They say that if two lovers tie a knot in this tree, then come what may, they will always find each other again and be reunited, no matter how many lives they live"
"Do you seriously believe this?"
"I don't know but this Caitlin wants to be yours forever, in every lifetime, so I guess it couldn't hurt. Now shut up and get over here"
Barry walked over to Caitlin and held her hand. Together they both tied the ribbon to the tree. Caitlin put her arms around Barry's neck
"See, that wasn't so hard?"
"No. But don't you trust my love that you have to do this? Is it that weak?"
Caitlin gave Barry a quick kiss
"Of course I trust your love. And it's strong enough for us both in every way and in every lifetime, but like I said, this Caitlin wants to be yours forever and ever. In every lifetime"
"Woah. This is deep. I haven't finished with you in this lifetime, and your already talking about the next. Look Caitlin, let's just enjoy this lifetime. We still have ages to go. And if anything happens, I'll find you"
Caitlin shot up in bed. What had she just seen? She thought that these dreams had finished, as they hadn't appeared for a while, but apparently no
Caitlin walked into her office in the morning, still tired after last night, but determined to prove that everything was alright. She walked into her office, with a big coffee. She didn't really like coffee but it was the only thing keeping her awake. She needed to get through today, and she would figure out the rest later on. She was determined that this wouldn't hold her back, that she would move forward with her life. Caitlin sat in her chair with her feet on the table, waiting for Barry to arrive. Her office phone rang, startling her out of her thoughts
"Yes?"
"Miss, there's a MR Barry here to see you"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you Steve that he's coming. Please let him up"
Caitlin waited patiently for Barry to arrive. She stood up to greet him, as he entered her office
"MR Barry, good of you to come. Please have a seat"
Barry sat down and drank the coffee that Caitlin had passed him
"First of all I would like to apologise. I forgot to tell Steve the security man that you were coming. I hope that he didn't trouble you too much"
"Not at all"
"Well I'm glad about that. I want to thank you again for agreeing to work with me. Now so that we are on the same page, what are your expectations from me and my team?"
"Nothing much. I just want to be treated as an equal, have a say in matters, all the normal things"
"Well that's good. Here is your contract. Please have a good read and if you are satisfied, please sign"
Caitlin watched as Barry read the contract over, and signed it
"Well I'm satisfied that everything is in order. I look forward to working with you"
"Excellent"
Caitlin stood up and shook Barry's hand. Then she felt it. That electricity, that spark. It was running through her body. Caitlin looked up at Barry to see if he had been affected like her, but he seemed totally unaware of what was happening to her. She collapsed into her chair, what was happening to her?
Caitlin left her office, after closing early. They were going to start working with Barry the next day. Caitlin was excited to start working with him, and to get some songs recorded. But she was also nervous after what had happened today. What was this thing? Was it going to happen again? She hoped not as working with Barry would be hard, and he seemed like a nice person. She arrived at her destination
"I need to go under again"
Her hypnotist looked up
"I was wondering when I would see you again"
"Please. I need this. I can't sleep. These dreams are keeping me up every night"
"I will work with you again. I got a feeling last time that there is a lot to unpack within you"
"I just want to know if Barry means anything to me. I feel weird around him"
"Please lay down and free your mind of everything. Just concentrate on my voice and clear your mind. Just let your mind take you back there"
