As Ethan drifted into a peaceful slumber, his mind transported him to a realm of dreams, where the boundaries of reality dissolved. In this ethereal world, he found himself standing in a peculiar home, an unfamiliar place that emanated an aura of both familiarity and strangeness. The dream house had an elegant charm, adorned with tasteful decor that reflected an amalgamation of styles. The walls, painted in soft pastel shades, created an atmosphere of serenity and warmth.In the dream, Ethan caught sight of a reflection in a mirror, and to his astonishment, he saw a version of himself that he had never encountered before. This doppelgänger possessed luscious, golden locks that cascaded effortlessly around his face. It was a stark contrast to Ethan's own dark brown hair, which he had become accustomed to. The blonde-haired version of himself appeared serene, exuding an air of confidence and tranquility.As Ethan continued to explore the dream home, his attention was drawn to a figure b
Ashley sat on the cozy couch, her mind still buzzing with the vivid dream her son Ethan had shared with her that morning. The morning sun spilled through the window, casting a warm glow over the room as she attempted to put Ethan's dream into words. A thousand words to describe the depths of her thoughts, her hopes, and the emotions that welled up within her.Ethan, a bright and imaginative seven-year-old, had recounted his dream with wide-eyed excitement. After he had spoken of seeing a version of himself in a world where he had a brother. The dream had struck a chord within Ashley, igniting a sense of longing and curiosity she hadn't felt before. She marveled at Ethan's ability to envision a sibling, a companion who would accompany him on the journey of life.As she mulled over Ethan's dream, Ashley turned to her husband Xavier, seeking solace and understanding. Xavier, a pillar of strength and wisdom, listened intently as Ashley relayed the details of the dream. Together, they expl
ASHLEY POV"Why did you change your mind?" I asked Xavier who just returned from who-knows-where.All he did was to smile at me. "I didn't..." I didn't let him say any further words, I rushed to kiss him. I was so excited to see that he didn't go for the trip. Honestly, I can't just stay a day without having Xavier by my side, he was kinda a second life to me, more of a soulmate.At first, I noticed a slight hesitation in the way he kissed me, like he wasn't in the mood. I didn't want it to look like I was bothering him, I mean, that's unlike him. He never hesitate to kiss me back, he was all time available for it. But now, he seems different.I pulled off, staring into those blue hazel eyes that keeps making me want to look at him every second and minute. I don't want to believe that he had done some thing with a different woman, making him less concerned about my kiss."What's wrong?" I asked him, searching his eyes for an answer."Nothing." He said coldly."Then why the hesitation
I woke up to find the bed empty and just me laying on it alone. I was a bit annoyed to see that Xavier wasn't beside me, and this is the nth time he's doing this to me. I didn't want to complain so I kept mute each time he does it. Then I began to hear splashes of water from the bathroom, I sat up, trying to listen to who it was. "Xavier?" I called."Mm-hmm." He replied, walking out of the bathroom. He dried his wet hands on the white towel tied around his waist. "Good morning." He greeted, staring at me."Good morning." My mood wasn't good and it's obviously clear on my face that I was still angry."You don't look happy, what's the problem?" He asked."You left me again." I said, sounding a bit rude."I didn't leave you, I only went to take my bath. I was feeling a bit hot." My eyes darted to the towel on his waist, the curves of his bit displayed from the top of the towel. "I know what you want." He said in a seductive manner. He sure does know what I want, I want that rod piercin
"Hold on a sec. Just hold on a second and explain to me what the hell is all these?" I demanded. "You have a twin brother and yet you didn't tell me? Now I fucked with another man and you're trying to put the blame on me?""I ain't putting the blame on you, Ashley. I accept, I fucked up. I should have told you earlier but I didn't."I rubbed my hair frustratedly as I listened to his words. I just fucked with another man? I let another man who isn't Xavier to walk into me? I'm such a mess. A big one."You need to calm down, Ashley, we'll talk about this some other time.""Some other time?" I yanked. "No, I want these conversation right now, okay?" I sighed. "You had a twin, a real twin who looks exactly like you, how on earth do you expect me to differentiate the two of you?""It's not my fault we have such a great resemblance. Well, he shouldn't have touched you in the first place. I'll talk to him when he gets back.""You better do, or I do that myself." I sighed heavily. "He's a goo
I glanced at the red light that started to blink on the dashboard several miles back. I had no idea what it meant, but I don't think it was good.I was on my way to meet my friends Brenna and Nicole, and I don’t think I was more than ten miles from the town I was looking for. The scenery was beautiful, but it was unlike any thing I'd ever seen. I was born and raised in the city and couldn’t remember if I’d ever touched a tree. The car sputtered, bringing my attention back to the present. “Oh, no, no, please don’t do this to me!” I cried. “Just go a little bit farther.”The car decelerated, and then a puff of smoke came from under the hood. I pulled over to the side of the road, and it was barely crawling when it sounded like it coughed, and then nothing.I put the car in “park” and turned the key before pressing my forehead to the steering wheel. After several calming breaths, I pulled my phone out to call and found I had no reception. Hell, what was I thinking? I was in the middle
I was so scared about the fact that my car had stopped in the middle of nowhere. I had no place to run. I had to call Xavier but he wasn't picking his call. This was the first time I ever called him and he wasn't replying to me. I tried to mind link to him and it's as if the reception of this area was so blank that I couldn't even call and I couldn't even mind link either.I didn't want to witness what was actually going on between the giant beast and the figure that came to save me, so I did my best to flee from this very place. Then for a while I don't know why, but I found myself stopping. I couldn't leave without saying thank you to who-so-ever it was. And not just about saying a thank you to who-so-ever it was, I wanted to know who my savior is. Or could it be some kind of random guy who has decided to save me?I stood from afar watching, I didn't say a word. In my mind I was still contemplating whether or not to leave and call this night my lucky night. The giant fled, not wanti
Since the previous night, I haven't been able to get things straight. Even right now, I'm lost to certain things I wished never happened in the first place. I was beginning to regret why I came back, I could have just left when I had the chance to. I was so down that even Brenna and Nicole noticed how quiet I was. I won't mind if the words are coming from another man but hearing it coming from Xender made it worst. It's just like having a sword passing through your heart. I took a deep breath, sighing heavily. I couldn't believe that I wasn't even listening to Mr Green's class. Biology has always been my favorite since I walked into high school but watching myself not paying attention for the very first time in his class got me thinking. Yeah you are free to guess why because the answer is boldly written. It's because of Xender.I was still halfway away from thinking when I had Brenna whisper my name. "Ashley. Ashley?" I turned to look at her. The way she gave me those looks told how
