Adrians POV

It was early afternoon, when I attempted to leave.

"Good bye" Sydney said for the 100th time.

Every time she´d said that, we´d been ending up kissing and it was just to hard to leave.

I took all my willpower and opened the door.

"Good bye Sage" I said chuckling, stepping outside.

She went after me, giving me another kiss.

"So I see you tomorrow?" she asked holding my hand.

"It´s a date" I said and she smiled at that.

"Oh so you´re finally going on an official date with me?" she teased.

"What´s that supposed to mean? We went to that museum and the club" I said chuckling.

"Come on" she said " The museum wasn´t a date and the club... well let´s put it that way, I wasn´t actually myself that night" she said with a laugh.

"I liked the other you" I said with a mischievous smile "She was fun. Plus she started this whole thing" I said gesturing from her to me and back to her.

"Yea yea, got to love a drunk Sydney" she chuckled "just know, she won´t came back. But, I´m glad she started this whole thing" she said repeating my gesture.

"I like this Sydney as well" I said giving her one last kiss.

"You better" she said.

She waved at me as I walked down the stairs.

I stepped outside and once again looked up to her flat.

I smiled when I saw her at the window waving at me. I waved back and began to walk backwards until I couldn´t see her anymore.

I was still smiling when I got into a cab passing by.

"You know the bar `Mystical´ near Harlem River Park?" I asked the driver.

"Sure. Really want to go there?" he responded giving me a once-over.

"Yep" I responded.

"Ok than" he said rising an eyebrow,turning around.

Back in my room I was thinking about Sydney.

I´d taken a shower and I´d brought pizza with me. Sitting at the small table in my room, eating the pizza it suddenly hit me.

I shook my head. Why hadn´t I thought of that before?

I cleaned my hands and searched for my phone.

I had to make a call.

I scrolled through my contacts and found the number I´ve searched for.

I pressed dial and waited.

After three rings she picked up.

"Adrian?" she asked.

"Jaclyn, I need your help" I said.

Sydneys POV

I was lying in my bed recapping the day.

It was still early, but since I didn´t get much sleep the night before, I´d decided to go to bed early.

Besides, I had to go to college in the morning. Not that that mattered at this moment.

All I really could think about was him.

Him and the way it felt kissing him. Who would have thought, that going clubbing would end like this?

I realized that I was smiling and it made me laugh.

I couldn´t wait to see him again.

Still thinking about him I fell asleep.

I was sitting in a small café. `Pies and Stuff´ I read on the menu and the name made me laugh.

Looking around I realized that I´d been here before. It was one of the places I somehow seemed to know, but never been before.

I was still observing my surroundings, when my gaze fell on my reflection in the window right next to me.

What was that? There was something shimmering on my cheek. I took the silver napkin dispenser and looked at myself.

It was gold and spread nearly over my whole left cheek. Small delicate embellishments and some kind of flowers.

It was really hard to see because of the curved surface of the napkin dispenser. I turned the dispenser around until I got a better angel.

Lilies. They were definitely lilies, I was sure about that.

I took a napkin and tried to wipe it away but it stayed on. Was this a tattoo?

I gasped. It really was.

Suddenly I noticed a group of people sitting on the other side of the café.

I couldn´t make out their faces. Everything seemed to be blurred.

Like I´d just used eye drops. I could see everything around their faces clearly, but the faces themselves were out of focus.

I narrowed my eyes, trying to get a better look at them, but nothing changed.

I sighed in frustration.

The door opened and I turned around as a small bell over the door began to ring.

It was a guy with messy dark hair, wearing a button-down shirt and dark jeans.

Somehow that seemed familiar. He was joining the group at their table and than he looked at me and my eyes widened.

It was Adrian.

I opened my eyes and for one moment I didn´t know where I was.

I blinked a few times and sat up.

I recognized the dull red light coming from the chinese restaurant across the street shining through my window and I relaxed.

I was in my bed. It had been a dream. I took a couple of deep breaths and switched my bed light on.

I really did get tiered of those strange dreams.

And what was Adrian doing in one of them.

Well it was only logical, that he´d appear in on of my dreams. After all, he´d been the last thing on my mind before I fell asleep.

And to be honest, I didn´t mind him being in my dreams.

I got up to get a glass of water.

As I was walking through my dark flat I once again felt the strange tickling feeling on my cheek.

I remembered the golden ornaments on it in my dream.

I was 100% sure, that I´d never get a tattoo, and if I one day did, I certainly wouldn´t get inked in the middle of my face and definitely not in gold.

Was it even possible to get a gold tattoo?

Calm down, I told myself.

It was just a dream. My mind told me that, but the tickling feeling on my cheek was telling me another story.
