I was sitting in my best friend's apartment, both of us enjoying our day off before our crazy work week start again tomorrow. We had decided on a girl's night which includes chick flicks, ice cream and wine. The perfect night.
"Penny, are you home?" we hear a voice as the front door opened.
I froze when I heard the voice. My heart started to beating that kittle faster and my breathing becomes slightly heavier than normal. Deacon, Penny's older brother. Deacon was four years older than us. He was dark, broken and had a heart of stone, well except when it came to Penny. Sadly, their parents died in pandemic virus when Penny and I were only fifteen. Deacon was nineteen and he looked after her, got a job to provide for her and done everything he could to give Penny a good life.
He did exactly that, up until three years ago when Penny turned nineteen. She started working and got her own place with a trust fund her parents had set up for her. "Deacon!" Penny squealed jumping to her feet, rushing to him, and hugging him. The two of them were remarkably close especially after everything that had lost and been through together.
I just sat still and quiet, the same way I always am whenever he's around. There was something about him that made my confident self turn into a weak mess. It has been that way since I hit puberty; I had a huge crush on Deacon since I was fourteen and as I got older, the emotions within me grew from just a school girl's crush to now an infatuation. He was gorgeous. It was his eyes and his smile that made me crumble each time I looked at him.

Some part of me had hope that he would look at me not just as his little sister's best friend but as a full grown women who adored him as a man. Who had desired him for as long as anyone can ever imagined. Who hoped that one day he would notice her. Yet, he never noticed; not once. To him, I will forever be his sister's best friend.
"Hi Anna. How are you?" Deacon turned to look at me with those dreamy blue eyes of him. My whole mouth fell opened and stayed there for the longest time. "I..I..I." I started to say but never got to finish it cause I never knew what to say to him. His next move caught me off guard. He placed his large, rough hands on my thigh, and my entire body shuddered underneath his fingertips. I close my eyes over, a low yelp like sound coming from my lips.
"Anna.. Anna.. Are you there? Anna!"
I opened my eyes and saw Mrs Pleaps staring down at me with those thick old fashioned glasses of her. "Are you day dreaming in my class again? This is going to get you detention for the entire week. Now, go freshen up and head straight to the principal's office. Mr Richards would like to see you now."
Aawwww... It was just a dream.. Darn !

😆 yeah.. too good to be a true to have a real love story on HIVE. Then again, we do need some love, hope and faith in our lives - especially now. We can dream of it because we never know what will happen tomorrow, next week or next month. At least, in our dreams, it can bring us anywhere with no limitations to pain or sorrow.
And for that, this is serves to be my submission for this week's contest by @zord189. To know about it, checkout out HERE
