"Natty Natty, I had the most incredible time." I chortled as I strolled into the house finding her at the table reading a novel.
"Oh really, now who could have predicted that." She said looking at me happily as I plopped down in the chair next to her.
I told her about the morning slightly blushing when I told her about the underwear incident.
"Oh child, you are going to give that boy a heart attack." She said laughing her lovely laugh.
I laughed back and told her about the time at the beach and everything that I told Emily and how I was feeling toward Jacob.
"That's good hunny, you really are the most mature young woman I have ever met. I'm quite positive just as Emily is that he likes you but I agree I think he is far from ready." She said.
"Yeah, she said about the same thing. On the way home I asked him about he told me a good amount, which surprised me. I told him that I didn't like to see him sad and that I hoped we could be good friends that he could come over or find me whenever he needed someone to talk to. And then I asked him if he wanted to hang out tomorrow at lunch here, I hope that was okay?" I said truthfully unsure if it was okay.
She laughed at my uncertainty.
"Of course it's okay, I think it's great that you guys are hanging out and I just want you to relax and do what you want for now. This is your home now, and it's summertime, this is the time for hanging with friends right?" She said happily.
I nodded.
"Hmm we will have to figure out something to make him for lunch, even one of them is interesting to prepare for." She said staring off in the distance thinking of something to make.
"How about some sort of soup and bread, I mean we have a lot of bread and maybe we can make some homemade soup it's easy to make a lot and the bread will fill." I said hoping it was a good idea.
She clapped her hands in excitement and nodded her head ecstatically.
"Perfect idea, maybe minestrone soup, we should go to the market tomorrow and I think I will make sure to wake you up again tomorrow a little early so we can cook." She said and I nodded in agreement.
It was nice not having nightmares but these peaceful dreams were making it impossible to wake up by myself.
We went upstairs and I showered quickly looking at my back after I got out.
I let out a relieved sigh as I noticed that the gashes were still the same width, the only thing that was different was that they were red and slightly agitated.
Natty scolded me lightly for putting too much exertion but I just smiled as she put more cream on.
It was nice to have someone who actually cared about my health; I hadn't realized that I had missed it until I met Natty.
We ate some dinner and talked for a while before watching a little TV and going to bed early.
My dreams were filled with his fur and his soft skin throughout the night, not a nightmare in sight as I slept.
He was like my very own dream catcher.
