Chapter 9

NPOV

I got home that night, pretty exhausted but still with some determination on what was going on with him. But right now, I was too tired to even think. I got into the apartment and saw that the answering machine was blinking.

New messages. Great.

I walked over to it and hit the play button. "You have two new messages."

"Okay so I guess you guys are out. I'm going to be running a bit late so no worries, I'll be home soon. Love you guys!" Becky.

"Hey love, it's me, still can't believe I'm using a mobile but just letting you know that I'm fine and well I'll see you when I get home, love you." Cedric.

At least he sounded fine on the phone. I threw my bag on the couch and took off my sneakers. I made my way back towards bedroom, grabbing my robe along the way. I went into the bathroom door and closed it. I stripped down until I was naked and threw my clothes on the side. I turned the water on and went in the bathtub.

I sat there as the water started to fill up. I let my mind go blank again like always. I don't know why that happens. I guess it started when my parents died and that stopped for awhile. Now it's going to start up again. I sighed heavily and closed my eyes for just awhile.

Dream Sequence

I was sitting in a room. It had lighting in it and I was by myself. I didn't know what was going on or why I was here.

Then I saw a figure coming into the room. It looked strangely familiar. My breathing increased as I saw it coming closer and closer.

"Remember me?" it asked menacingly.

End of Dream

I shot up and saw that the tub was close to overflowing. I leaned over and shut the water off and leaned back again. What was that? It couldn't have been another dream but a vision? There was absolutely no way. It couldn't happen right now. It can't.

After my bath, I changed into my pajamas and laid on my bed what seemed like forever. I can't be having these dreams now. I thought I was over them, I mean it has been like a year since London. I can't go to a therapist about it. If I did, I would defiantly be locked up for sure.

I didn't hear anything else while I was staring wall until I felt my side of the bed sinking.

"Hey back already?" I asked sitting up so I can see Cedric.

"Yeah, Dylan had to get back to the baby. How was work?" he asked.

"Alright" I replied.

"Something you're not telling me?" he asked.

"Don't know what you're talking about" I replied.

"Nick, I've seen that look before, what's up?"

Might as well give him something to think about.

"I think I'm starting to have those dreams again" I said.

"Not from…"

"No definitely not. It's something different I guess. It's really hard to talk about it. All I know is that I was in a room and someone comes in and said 'Remember me?'. Talk about being all cryptic" I said.

The look that played on his face, it was even hard to describe. He was scared and worried all over again.

"You don't think that um, they are back, do you?" I asked worriedly.

"I don't know, I may have to talk to my father to see if there has been any strange activity since I've been at work" he replied. "But no matter what, I'll let nothing happen to you. I swear to it."

"And my family? What about them? They don't know what's been going on" I said.

"I don't know. But for now, don't say anything" he replied.

Yeah easier said than done.

"Fine" I said leaning back to my spot on the bed. I heard movement and then the other side of the bed dipped and Cedric's arm wrapped around my waist.

"I know you hate keeping this from them but it's been nearly three years" he said.

"I know" I mumbled.

"I love you, you have to understand" he said.

"I get it but I won't tell them under one condition" I said looking at him, straight in the eye."

"Anything."

"If this doesn't get sorted out this whole vision, dream whatever the hell you call it, I'm telling my family" I said.

He was hesitant at first. In honesty, I couldn't blame him. If the roles were reversed, I had a feeling he would resort to this kind of deal. But it wasn't like this now.

"Okay" he said. "But I don't like it though."

"I don't like it either but at this point it's do or die" I said.

"I know" he said.

I woke up with some of a start. I looked over at my clock on the night table and it read 2:10a.m. I rubbed the back of my neck. I looked over and Cedric was sleeping soundly and my movements apparently didn't wake him. What did I do to deserve him?

My bridal magazine laid on my night table and I picked it up. I started to flip through the magazine for the hell of it. It wasn't until a few seconds later that I spotted something on one of the pages and stopped. I went back until I found the page.

I think I've found my wedding dress.

The next morning, I felt kisses going down my neck. I opened up my one eye and saw out of the corner of my eye it was Cedric.

"Damn, you can't just wait, can you?" I asked tiredly.

"Nope, love" he replied with a grin.

"Well it so happens" I said, sitting up. "I couldn't sleep and I was flipping through my magazine and I think I've found my wedding dress."

"That's great, can I see?" he asked.

"Hell no, you know the rules. No seeing the dress until the wedding" I replied.

"Not even a peak?"

"Let me think…" I said, pretending to think. "I don't think so." I got out of bed and took my magazine with me.

"Not fair" he said from the bed.

"You can wait until June 21st sweetie" I said walking out of the room hoping Becky would be up so I can tell her what I've found.

A/n: Holy crap I've updated on a Monday or Tuesday where I am. But it's not a long delay though so YAY!

Here's a rough timeline on how these two got together:

Nikki gets warped in the movie in the year 2005, they reunited in 2006, got engaged in December of 2007 and a year later still engaged, waiting to be married in June of 2009. Hope this doesn't confuse you guys!

So you know what to do. Thanks for your support and patience as always.
