"Jamie, will you come to Melbourne with me?" Shane asked again after a moment of shocked silence. This man who I had only met less than 24 hours ago and had worshipped since I had begun watching the then WWF now WWE, wanted me to come to Melbourne with him. I was in shock; I looked up to him, admired him, hero-worshipped the man and even though I had stood my ground, and stuck by what I believed in, he still showed me respect and he still wanted to spend time with me.
I was broken out of my thoughts when I heard my flat mates yelling to say yes and go with the man. Shocked at the sudden break of silence I looked behind me at the flat I shared with my 4 best friends and saw them leaning out Ava's bedroom window on the top floor. "Good Morning Ladies" Shane called up to my friends,
"Morning Shane" They all cooed back,
"So what do you think? Should Jamie come to Melbourne with me?" "Hell yeah and take us too" Hayley called leaning so far out the window she nearly fell,
"So what do you say Jamie? Will you come to Melbourne with me?" Shane asked giving me pathetic puppy dog eyes.
"I'm sorry Shane but I can't come to Melbourne with you, I have prior commitments here" I sighed finally giving the man an answer,
"Oh that's harsh, rejected twice in less than 24 hours; I must be loosing my cool. What can I do or say to get you to come with me? I'll get down on my knees and beg" Shane said grabbing at his heart and falling to his knees,
"Twice in less than 24 hours?" One of the girls called from the window,
"Mind your own business. Shane get off the ground, desperation will get you no where" I said pulling the man off the ground,
"I just can't come with you, I have prior commitments here" I said sympathetically,
"Stuff prior commitments" A voice yelled from the window,
"Mind your own business Mercedes" I yelled back not taking my eyes off the green haired man.
Then with a slight kiss on his soft lips and the promise that he would ring as soon as he could I sent the man on his way. I liked Shane there was no doubt about that and ever since I had spent the night with him I liked him even more. I knew he liked me too and his desperation act was quite pathetic but cute all the same. And though I liked him and he liked me I knew there was a none and Buckley's chance of him ever contacting me again.
So I went inside and instead of trying to get some sleep before I had to work that afternoon I sat on my bed talking to my friends. "You slept with him didn't you?" Hayley asked in not only awe but also shock,
"No I didn't sleep with him, well not in the way your thinking. Oh yea Hayley Jericho said to tell you that he's a happily married man" "I know that, I was just having a bit of fun with him" Hayley replied slightly disappointed. My friends and I continued to talk about the events from the night before. I stayed relatively quiet watching and listening to my friends animated conversation. After a while I couldn't stay awake any longer and decided to sleep before work.
The girls had left the room; I had changed into my pyjamas, climbed into bed and was close to falling asleep when I heard the phone ring down stairs. I ignored it knowing that one of the other girls would answer it,
"Hey Jamie there is a call for you" Becca said softly knocking on my bedroom door,
"Just take a message, I've got work later and I am exhausted" I replied sending Becca on her way a few moments later Mercedes came bolting into my room holding the portable phone,
"Merc, I told Becca to take a message. I've got to work later," I muttered rolling over to face the wall,
"Yea I know Jaimes but Shane's on the phone!" "What?" "Shane, also known as The Hurricane, the guy you spent the night with last night, he's on the phone!" Mercedes said shoving the phone towards me.
"Hello?" I asked carefully unsure wether my friends were tricking me or not.
"Hey gorgeous" A males voice replied. It was thick smooth accent that could be only belong to one person,
"Shane? What are you doing ringing?" "Well I told you that I would ring as soon as I was free. We are about to board our flight so I thought I would give you a ring. You sound tired I didn't wake you did I?" "No I hadn't fallen asleep yet. I was just getting ready to have a nap, I've got to work this afternoon" "Where do you work?" "At the local rock climbing centre, I'm the Kid's Club Coordinator and acting Manager, when Kid's Club isn't on" "That's awesome." Shane said honestly, in the background I heard a vaguely familiar voice call out something about Shane turning queer over night,
"Something you forgot to tell me?" I asked Shane trying not to laugh,
"No, the boys just think that since I didn't get laid last night I've turned gay" Shane explained a few moments later it was announced over the loud speaker that his flight was boarding so we said goodbye with the promise he would ring me another time.
Once we had hung up I passed the phone back to Mercedes and was asleep within minutes. For the first time in awhile I dreamt, not just dreamt I had a nightmare. I suffered nightmares ever since I was a child, they were so bad that I would be screaming yet still asleep, I would be walking around and I would try to attack people but I was still asleep. When I first moved into the flat I got really horrid nightmares, which put the other girls in an awkward position, as they didn't know how to handle them. Luckily as I settled in the calmed down and soon ceased. I hadn't had a nightmare in months.
I was familiar to this particular nightmare but it still shook me up all the same. I was in the supermarket with my mum but when I looked around she had gone, I tried to find her when I realised the supermarket was now empty and I was alone. Suddenly I heard a noise coming from the aisle next to me. When I went to check I found several giant hogs dressed in bikie gear ram sacking the selves. They looked up and saw me watching them, suddenly they squealed and began to chase after me. As I ran away I tripped allowing the hogs to crowd around me as I screamed a shrill buzzing bought me back to reality. It didn't take me long to realise that my heart was racing and the shrill buzz was coming from the alarm on my mobile phone, telling me it was time to wake and get ready for work.
A/N: Ok thanks for all the reviews. One thing that I do want to say is that I myself do suffer from extreme nightmares and the above-mentioned nightmare is similar to one that I have had for years and it really shakes me up. I get very little sleep at night and when I am sleeping you can generally catch me muttering something.
Started off good turned dodgy!
