After an hour or so passed by all their bellies were full. Wiping her face and placing the napkin onto her plate, Alexa looked at Don, "I must say this was one of the best dinners I've had in a while,"

Don blushed and nodded without looking at her, Charlie noticed this and smiled to himself, it was obvious that Don had a liking for Alexa, he knew it. Moments passed and Alexa found herself saying her goodbyes. She gave a hug to each of the Epps men then went to get her coat, but finding out that it was not on the coat rack where she had left it. Turning around to try and find her coat she saw Don Epps standing in front of her, holding her furry black coat on his arm. "Madame if you will," He opened up her coat and helped put it on her. His nose breathed in vanilla, which was coming from Alexa's neck,

Once done Alexa turned to him and smiled, "Thank you,"

Alan and Charlie soon joined the two; Alan spoke "So how long will you be staying in Los Angeles?"

"About two to three weeks at the most, I have a lot to do here in Los Angeles. A lot of friends to visit and business to take care of." She smiled.

"Well it was great seeing you again, you should come visit us again sometime," Alan suggested leaning against the wall.

"Sounds like an idea," She nodded, "I wrote down my number of the place I'm staying at right?" she asked no one in particular.

Charlie nodded, "It's on the fridge."

"Alright well I guess that's about it, thank you for the delightful evening Mr. Epps," Alexa said opening the front door, "I'll see you guys soon," and with that she left the house and got into her car.

It hadn't taken a long time for Alexa to fall fast asleep; she was exhausted from the traveling that once her body hit her bed she was completely knocked out. She was starting to have a good night sleep when she began to toss and turn under the covers muttering words under her breath; sweat began to form on her forehead. Her eyes opened, breathing heavily she sat up and looked around the room as if to make sure she was still in the apartment. The dream she had seemed to be having a big impact on her as she slowly got up and headed to the kitchen to get a bottle of water to relax herself. For several nights before this Alexa found herself in the same dream, haunted by the same scenario, never being able to do anything. Opening the fridge Alexa grabbed the nearest water bottle and closed the door. Looking outside the window nearest the sink Alexa a man's face starring back at her, smiling evilly. She closed her eyes and opened them again, the face was now gone. Opening the lid of the bottle and taking a sip of water she hurried to the cellular phone on the counter and picked it up. The phone rang several times but Alexa didn't hang up, soon she heard someone pick up, "Hello?" The voice on the other side was groggy and tired.

"Diane? It's me Alexa I had the dream again," Alexa's eyes were wide now, she watched the window constantly, waiting for the face to show up again but it never did.

"Do you know what time it is?" The voice asked, groaning.

"I know but this is important, it's the same dream I've been having for several days now. I though by coming her and seeing them alright the dreams would stop but they just keep getting worse. This one was even more graphic." Alexa took a deep breath, shivering. The dreams shook her up.

"What happened exactly in the dream?" Diane seemed more interested in Alexa's dream.

"The usual, but in the ending I see this face that's smiling at me, happy to see me in pain. It's like he knows he won," Alexa placed her bottle on the counter and rubbed her arms with her free hand.

"But you said they were okay?" Diane asked.

"I just came from their house, they're absolutely fine," Alexa said hurriedly.

"Then maybe it's nothing, maybe you're just letting your dream get to you. Do you think this could be another one of your… you know?" Diane couldn't come out and say it.

Alexa nodded in agreement, "could be, I took the medicine but it could always find a way into my dreams."

"Just to make sure things are alright I'm thinking you should stay there and watch them. How long did you tell them you were staying there?"

"About two weeks or so," Alexa replied.

"That should be enough time then, just get back to me if there's any sudden changes, alright?" Diane asked.

"Yeah, thanks," Alexa hung up and placed the cordless phone back on the counter. Her blue eyes met the window once again and still no sign of the face ever being there. Maybe it was all a dream but why did it keep haunting her? The images so vivid and clear replayed in her mind like a movie, each horrible detail stuck out. Whatever was going to happen she'd wish it would just hurry up and happen, the pain she was going through began to drive her crazy.
