Wow. His skin is so soft. He's warm but rough. Like a good book you can read over and over with the ending still surprising you. That's what he reminds me of.

His face is tough with rigid features. His eyes seemed like something once filled with fire now extinguished. I hope he can't see me blush through the hair in her face. He's here once again trying to save me. This isn't the first time we've touched but still it kindles a new feeling in me.

I feel a burn of energy take my back. He's trying to hold on. I want him to. The power is too strong, and they separate. I wake up with a jolt. My bright blue hair sticking out all directions, I'm doused with sweat. My face is cluttered with tears.

She lost him again. Levy knows she'll she him next time she sleeps she always does but something about this dream scared her. It felt to authentic to be another lie told by my brain. I look at my perfectly polished room. It's just as organized as the rest of my flat

Queen bed across from the door. The left of the door a desk to the right of it a bookshelf. The shelf stretches all the way next to the bed except for a small part where the bathroom door is. On the left of my bed is my dresser/vanity. On the other wall is a hanging chair in the corner and a double door exit to the balcony. With another bookcase before connecting back to the other wall.

Each bookcase reaches the ceiling with books shoved every space they can be. I even have some of my least favorite ones under the bed. Crawling out of bed I go into the bathroom and showers. Replying the dream repeatedly i can't shake the feeling it was different this time. Well it always is. Each time I have the dream it becomes longer but I always get torn away from the same guy.

Stepping out of the shower I get dressed. I promised Lucy I'd go out with her to Fairy Tale. Lucy's supposed to meet Natus this guy she's been seeing there. Juvia, my other friend is coming. She's meeting well more like stalking this guy Gray there. I'm is going for support and will read a book there. The only problem is which one.

Spending the next hour choosing the right book I guess I'm ready. Oh wait, I have to put on real clothes not pajamas. Slipping into a pink dress that cuts off at my knees I feel pretty. Adding white heels to the soft dress I feel even better. The gentle pink dress with long sleeves that flare at the wrist. The cute little bow it ties in the back. How it gives my already small breast an extra boost.

The simple, white, open toe strappy sandal heels match the dress in a beach feelish vibe. Adding a headband of the same pink I'm empowered with confidence. So much that I leave my book when I go tell Lucy I'm ready, so we can leave. On the way out the door she waves at Juvia signaling we'll wait for her in the car. Once she climbs in the pedal is the metal. Juvia drives like a monkey can fly. I guess she's just excited to see Gray again. Natsu and Lucy have been going out for a while and last week Juvia and Gray meet. Juvia practically super glued herself to him. He clearly likes her but seemed scared to show it.

When arriving to the club we go straight to the front. Perks of being long time members. I see Elfman and smile, we've been friends as long as I can remember. I'm closer to Mirjana than Elman's' little sister Lisanna. I widens my steps as I realize I've fallen behind the others. They go inside as the new bouncer I've heard of shows up. I've never seen him till now.

I still can't see his face when he demands to see my ID. I've been holding it out he'd notice if he'd just look at me. You can't be that ugly. Just show me your face. I try to think of all the people that he reminds me of someone but who I can't tell. Finally, he looks up. My wallet drops to the floor as a spark of recognition ignite in my brain. It's him, in person. I reach out and touches his chest, this seems so real. Like all the other dreams it's to much. His eyes travel over my body reading every part of me.

"I'm not an illusion."
