"Stephanie."



Stephanie sighed in her sleep and rolled over restlessly. Her mind adrift in a another world. Her fantasy world filled with her most secret and painfully obvious desires. Home to her most terrifying thoughts and wonderful feelings. Curled up in her soft bed she felt safe and sound. The feeling reminded her off Jeff which gave a reason to why she was dreaming about him. They were on an ocean in a small boat. He was wearing a wife beater and an old pair of ratty jeans. He was pulling in fish of some kind and smiling happily as he did so. She was leaning on a rail watching him do so in a worn pair of shorts and a very plain and dull T- shirt. After lowering the net back into the sea he washed his hands and made his way over to her. He whispered sweet things in her ear and she kissed his lips reveling in the simplicity they had. His arms circled her waist and she was in a comfort zone.



"Stephanie!" A voice hissed breaking her from her dream. Jeff turned and began to step away from her.



A soft hand shook her shoulder and she refused to open her eyes clinging to her dream. Suddenly she fell over the edge of the boat hitting the water with a cold splash. Her appearance meant nothing. Jeff just stared at her longingly. She screamed to him but it seemed he didn't hear her. She watched him sail away on his boat mouthing her name. Then night came over and she was left alone in the dark blue sea. Her clear tears met the water and she could barely stay afloat. She could see his boat in the distance and she began to swim to it. With each stroke the boat looked farther and farther. There was a shaking again and she slipped beneath the waters .Her eyes fluttered open as she adjusted to the darkness. Rolling over she looked up into a pair of saddened blue eyes. She recognized them instantly.



"Chris what are you doing here?" Stephanie all but barked.



"I needed to see you." He responded while sitting on the side of her bed.



"I don't want to here your excuses Chris." Stephanie sighed.



"Stephanie I'm sorry about what I said at the banquet." He took her hand in his. "I really am I don't know what got into me."



"Chris you were drunk." Stephanie said disgustedly.



" I know... it's just Stephanie." His eyes searched hers and found nothing.





"Just nothing Chris." Stephanie growled. "You had no right to do what you did."



"The way you looked at that guy just set me off. You're my girl." He stopped when her face flourished.



"I'm not your girl." Stephanie stated.



"Like hell you're not!" He nearly yelled causing her to jump.



"Keep it down I don't want my parents up especially not my Mother." Stephanie mumbled.



"I have something I need to tell you." Chris got down on one knee and Stephanie's eyes widened the size of saucers.



"Chris no." Stephanie yanked her hand back as if he were on fire.



"Stephanie there's something you need to know." Chris continued ignoring her actions.



"I will not marry you Chris." Stephanie said. "I- don't love you like that."



"But you love him?" He asked hurt trickling into his voice. She felt a pang of guilt.



"I don't know." Stephanie said.



"Stephanie." Chris reached for her and she shoved him back. "Don't touch me."



"Well if you don't want to hear it from me then I guess you can read it from this." Chris pulled from his back pocket a thick pack of paper and tossed it on her bed.



"Good bye Stephanie." Chris got up and walked to her window opening it. Swinging his long legs over the ledge he dropped to the ground landing easily on his feat.



"Whatever." Stephanie rolled her eyes and tossed the packet across the room not caring when it hit the floor. Getting back under the covers she continued her dream of Jeff.



"I'll see you tomorrow." Stephanie repeated a thrill running through her at the thought of having his arms around her again.
