Summary:
When a dream comes reality...
Chapter 1
Your heart is thumping and visioning a man that was built to perfection, every muscle of his body sculpted to fit you, to protect you and to love you inside and out. You can't see his face but you can hear him, the soft growly tones saying "Everything was to protect you Steven, all my life I have known nothing but unhappiness, it would eat away at me, sinking the real me into dispair, the monster inside me taking over day by day...but you, you changed everything Steven, you took a chance, when everybody gave up on me, you loved me unconditionally after everything I put you through." You awake with tears running down you cheeks, heartbroken by the same words you hear every night. It is then you hear noises coming from the kitchen, you get out of your bed and wipe away the tears, when you are out of your bedroom you see Amy and the kids fooling around dancing to "I'm sexy and I know it". Leah shouts at you to join in with them and you do, but Amy can see the pained look in your eyes but she doesn't say anything though for which you are thankful. "Right kids it's time to get ready for school or you are going to be late.
It's been over half an hour since Amy took the kids to school but the dream you had is still firmly in your thoughts, questions such as "Who is this man?" "Why do I keep dreaming about him?" & "Why does this guy in my dreams make me feel complete like he's the missing piece of your complicated puzzle." You are quickly snapped out of your thoughts has you hear Amy open the door, again she can see the strande look on your face and asks "Is everything alright Ste, I saw that you had been crying when you came out of your room, plus you have been rather distant of late, you can talk to me you know!". "Amy I am fine just leave it yeah please, was just a bad dream ok" "Ste it's not ok, please just just talk to me I might be able to help, whatever you are dreaming about it is clearly upsetting you" "AMY I SAID LEAVE IT, JUST KEEP YOUR NOSE OUT OF MY BUSINESS FOR ONCE WILL YOU", it is then you storm out of the flat, going anywhere to try and get some piece, you find yourself at the dog in the pond, you order a drink and then sit yourself in a quiet corner, after what felt like hours, which in fact it was only 20mins, you decided it's been long enough to cool down and you make your way out but has you do so, that voice you have heard every night in your dreams is suddenly real, you look over to the far corner of the room and that's when you catch each other's eyes, you want to stop looking but it's like you physically can't, like a magnet is pulling you together, that same strange feeling in the pit of your stomach, you feel has though you are blushing has you finally have a face to the voice and what a face it is so handsome and manly, a moustache with stubble a combination not many can pull off but he, there's something about him, you have to get out of the pub has feelings were starting to get too much, so you make your way back to the flat were realise you have to apologise to Amy, you were concentrating on what you were going to say to her that you didn't realise that you were being followed, you get grabbed from the back and pushed into the alleyway, your pinned to the wall while you get punched in the ribs over and over by a couple of thugs shouting "give us your money you lil queer", you try and escape but they are too strong, the pain eventually got to much and you blacked out.
When you finally awake your stunned at the first sight you see, once again it's the man from your dreams "Are ye ok?", in that thick Irish growl of a voice, you want to reply but your mouth is dry so you motion for a drink, the man gives you a bottle of water and asks you once again if you are ok, somehow you manage to reply "yeah I think so, what happened?" "you were mugged by a pair of lowlife scum, lucky I was in the area and scared them off, even managed to get ye wallet back" "thank you" you say wincing in pain while trying to get up, the man grabs you by the arm and helps you up, the slightest touch like an electric shock, you quickly let go and state you have to get back but he surprises you by saying "I will walk ye back, you still look a bit shaky," you try to decline but he insists. No more was said when walking back to the flat, once at the front door you awkwardly say "erm would you like to come in for a drink, it's the least I can do after you saved me from those idiots" "yeah sure", when inside you shout to see if Amy is home, but she must of gone out, you make a drink for you both and hand it to him, your fingers slightly touching but you feel the electric shock once more, you both look at one another, there's something in the man's eyes that you don't recognize "your name! I never asked your name?!" "the name is Brendan...Brendan Brady", "well I'm Ste" "it's nice to meet you Steven!" he reaches out his hand to you and you shake each other's hand, but it lasts longer than it should, Brendan is looking into your eyes again like he can see right through and he knows what your thinking, he is about to say something when you hear the door opening...
