The nightmare

Amelia woke up with a start. Her heart was pounding heavily against her ribcage, and her breathing was hitched. The bedsheet underneath her was soaked in sweat and so were her nighties. She was having a nightmare which she couldn't even remember, but she knew it was terrible.

Her throat was dry which was expected because of the amount of fluid that had left her body. She stretched out her hand to turn on the bedside lamp, then she crawled out of the bed. She located her phone and turned it on, squinting her eyes to adjust to the brightest of the phone's screen. It was just 2:45 am.

She threw the phone back to the bed and walked out of the room for a glass of water. She was just closing the refrigerator after taking out a bottle of water when she thought she heard whispers.

She stood quietly to listen and then she heard it again, it was coming from the balcony. Her already stable heart began to pound again, she gently placed the bottle of water on the table and walked quietly on her tiptoes to the balcony to see who it was. It was so late in the night, everyone should have gone to bed, or was that a burglar?

She cautiously walked to the balcony and found out it was Rey. She felt calm but tensed up moments later. Rey was making a phone call, he was leaning on the fancy rails and was talking in low whispers but it looked like he was threatening someone and Amelia immediately became suspicious.

"Do not let him go away. If he does, you better go away with him, because I'll find you both and I'll-" 

"Rey?" Amelia called, cutting him short.

Rey was startled. He immediately turned to see Amelia standing a few feet away from him. 

"Let me call you back." He said and hung up the call, tucking the phone into his pocket while Amelia stared cautiously at him.

"How long have you been standing there? What did you hear?" He inquired, hoping she had not heard anything.

Amelia's brows furrowed. "Who was that on the phone?" She asked.

"It was no one," Rey responded.

"No one?"

"Yeah, someone you don't know. A family member." Rey said and his pupils flickered.

"Who calls a family member by 2 AM? Rey, who was that?" Amelia interrogated suspiciously.

"Pfft. I am the bodyguard and not you. Whoever I talk to on the phone should not be your concern." Rey snapped, as he confirmed she did not hear anything.

"Really?" 

"Why are you even asking me all these questions? Is it now a crime to make calls? I haven't spoken to my family because I have been babysitting a grown woman, and now that I have decided to do so, you are making it look suspicious." Rey accused and Amelia's eyes narrowed.

"I am not going to have you insult me. I am only being security conscious here. Everyone else would be, because making calls at 2 AM is suspicious. Gosh." Amelia gritted out and rolled her eyes.

"Okay, fine. I'm sorry. But I was just making a normal call." Rey apologized, raising his hand in a mock surrender.

"Well, good for you," Amelia mumbled. She still looked pissed.

"Come on Princess, you are overthinking things. I'm sorry, okay?" He whispered into her ears and pecked her on her cheek.

"It's okay," Amelia said, trying to suppress the growing smile on her face. Rey noticed it and gently pinched her nose.

"Why are you up?" He finally asked.

"I think I had a nightmare," Amelia replied.

"A nightmare? What was it about?" Rey implored and Amelia gave him a quizzical look.

"Really? What are you doing now? A dream interpreter?"

"No- I mean, you never can tell. I might know what it means."He urged, then he winked at her.

"Hahaha, very funny. But unfortunately, I don't remember a thing." Amelia responded with a false smile on her face.

"Oh.."

"And, I was just going to get a glass of water when I heard whispers coming from this direction." She added. Rey's mouth formed an O shape in realization and he nodded slowly.

"Ah- I see." He said.

"So, now that I have seen that everything is under control. I would just go get my water and go back to bed." 

"Oh, let me walk you back to your bedroom-" Rey suggested and Amelia turned to him. "-I mean, if it's okay with you." He immediately added.

"Um.. yeah, sure," Amelia said though she looked a little hesitant about it.

They both walked to the kitchen to get Amelia's water, then they walked to her room.

"Wow. That is a lot of sweating." Rey remarked on seeing the sweat patch on the bed.

"Mind your own business," Amelia said, but she had an amused smile on her face as she stared at the patch too.

She went into her walk-in closet to get a new set of bedding as there was no way she could lay on the soaked one. She returned to the room in no time with a red bedsheet.

"Let me help you with it,  while you go take a shower," Rey suggested, leaning over to take the bedsheet from her.

"Oh-" Amelia started with a smile, but then she frowned. "No. It's embarrassing, I would rather do it myself." She said, hugging the soft bedsheet.

Rey chuckled and forcefully snatched it away from her.

"It's in my hands. Now, go take a shower." He ordered and Amelia pouted in response. 

She quickly scouted for neat clothes and rushed into the bathroom. When she came out a few minutes later, Rey had changed the beddings, and the sweat-soaked one was folded neatly in a corner.

"Thank you." She mouthed towards Rey who sat on the bed watching her as if the towel on her body was transparent. Seeing the way he was looking at her made her cheeks flush, and she wanted him to touch her and not just look at her. She bit her lips-

"Princess?" Rey called, dragging her out of her dirty thoughts.

"What? I..um..I need to get dressed. Kindly excuse me." She said quickly, staring at her feet in embarrassment. She was afraid he had found out what she was thinking.

"But, I'm not even looking," Rey stated and she lifted her gaze to meet his. He was still looking at her. "And besides, it's nothing I haven't seen before." He added with a light smirk.

Amelia felt her cheeks burn and her pussy becoming wet.

"Or, should I help you get dressed?" Rey asked in a deep voice, and without waiting for a response, he got out of bed and walked towards her…
