9 : A Night To Remember...Or Not

It sounds weird when you tell someone you had a dream about them.

"Okay...is that it?"

"Well...yeah."

I most certainly wasn't about to question him.

"Wait...what was it about?"

"What?

"I said what was it about?"

"I'm sorry I'm having a little trouble hearing these days-"

"Aaliyah."

"Okay fine. It was about me and you having..."

"What?"

"You know. Sex."

He stared at me for a second and then burst out laughing.

"I didn't realize it was that funny."

"Are you annoyed at me for laughing?"

"No. I'm just saying me having a sex dream about a guy that left me isn't one of my proudest accomplishments."

"And we're going back to this now."

"Yeah. We're going back to that."

"No. We're not about to argue over stupid things right now."

"Stupid? How is you leaving me stupid?"

"Aaliyah. I didn't mean-"

"No please explain to me how it's stupid."

He sat there trying to find the words.

"I'm not about to sit here and argue with you about this Aaliyah!"

"Why not?"

"Because it's in the past!"

"WHY DID YOU LEAVE?"

"BECAUSE I HAD TO!"

"What?"

"I had to leave Aaliyah. I had to. Leaving you was probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to do because I had to."

I stood there because I didn't know what to say. I wanted to ask him why he left but I didn't want to know the answer right now.

"We should go," I said walking towards the door.

"Wait," he said stepping in front of me, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to yell at you like that. I was just angry at myself."

"It's fine."

We stood there staring at each other for a second. I looked into his eyes and I saw a hint of sadness in them before he cleared his throat.

I walked over to the door and was about to touch the handle when he walked up behind me and whispered into my ear. "What did I tell you about trying to open doors?" He grabbed my waist and pulled me out of the way so he could open the door.
