The Dream

SCENE 1

Good morning sweetheart! I dreamed about us last night! ....."Really? Tell me what you dreamed"

I dreamed I was leaning on the sunny balcony of a beautiful Victorian house right near the sea, where the waves splashed water against the rocks, sipping orange juice in a tall glass. I was wearing a pretty white flowing summer dress….I looked cool in my straw hat with my hair tied up in a bun. I had a beautiful white flower tucked behind my ear (I must have plucked it when I went wandering about on the hill behind our house this afternoon) and I was wearing red lipstick, looking very pretty and beautiful.

I stare away into the horizon, with the lighthouse in the distance, in the middle of the sea. I hear a few larks flying past.... There’s a cool gentle breeze blowing softly, the wind is whispering in my ears….

And then I realize, Oh! It's not the breeze, it’s you! You put your arms around me, standing behind me and you rest your chin on my shoulders and whisper something in my ear….and I smile…a quiet, calm, satisfied smile. Then you say something funny and we both laugh!

The sun is beginning to set now.... we decide to go inside and make dinner.. And then all of a sudden, you just scoop me up in your arms and carry me inside, we both are still laughing at what you said earlier..... It’s just the two of us at home, and a quiet little cat purring in the window...

I put the vessel on the stove and you start chopping the veggies and tomatoes. We’ve decided to cook vegetable stew tonight, and mashed potatoes. I’ve already made caramel pudding for our dessert. You ask me to hand you the bigger knife, and when I pass it to you, you quickly give me a peck on my cheek.

Then while dinner is getting ready, you walk into the hall, and play some soft music....and sit down on the sofa and relax with your feet up on the coffee table.

I decide to go for a quick shower before our dinner and go upstairs. I pull out a white shirt and a pair of blue jeans from the cupboard. I’m done really quick and I come down just in time to get the pot off the stove…by then you’ve already set the table and lit candles ….looks like it's going to be candlelight dinner tonight… Some romantic number is playing now…Can’t remember clearly but I think it was ‘making love out of nothing at all’ by Air Supply and you are humming the tune.....

We enjoy the most delicious dinner we’ve had in a long time and as we start clearing up, you pull me close to you and kiss me on the lips at the kitchen table, and....... the lights go out! Thank god you had lit the candles already!
We both give in and passionately kiss each other.... and then you lift me up and take me to the couch in the living room.. and there we make love late into the night.............

"Wow! your dreams turn me on....!"

SCENE 2

I was lying down on the couch in our living room with my head on your lap and the lights were dim...
It was all quiet and still around us, just the two of us were at home.. I guess you were sipping on some drink I had made for you. After a while, we both were looking at each other. I’m not sure if you were staring at me or I was staring at you. I guess I was lost in your beautiful brown eyes and you... maybe you were trying to check what I’m thinking about... It was as if we were talking to each other through our eyes without saying any words... We were so lost in each other.

Then you stroked my cheek lovingly and talked to me with your eyes..... After a few moments you lifted your fingers to my face and outlined my cheeks and my eyes.... We both were enjoying each other...

I don’t know if we were newly married or we were living together for ages because we both looked young and charming... I don’t know if we were still in the initial stages trying to please each other and talking sweetly and being caring towards each other;
OR
Whether we had crossed that stage and now we thoughtlessly hurl abuses at each other, get impatient at every other sentence spoken and not care if the other person is tired or upset .....coz we are so busy with our own jobs....

I don’t know what exactly was happening in our lives at the moment.....but here we are in each others arms tonight…

And then, when I had shut my eyes for a moment, you got a finger to my lips.....

Just then the bright rays of the sun fell on my face and I woke up......
