3 Ch. 3 A Distant Dream

I feel sleepy laying on the bed.

I see him slowly get up and walk into the bathroom.

My eyes start to shut. He's an incredibly powerful person for being my age. Not just with money, but with his powers as well. Even after I failed to beat him like the others, he invited me to his house.

Why?

My eyes are totally shut now. My brain starts to slowly drift into sleep...when suddenly a figure appears overtop my body.

I halfway open my eyes. This feels so familiar.

Its Jack; he's holding me.

My hands silently touch his back and start to wrap around him instinctively.

I groan quietly, like I've just been woken up. "Do I need to get up?" I mumble.

"Haha, no." Jack says softly. He starts to let go.

"Wait." I mumble. It feels like I'm a kid whose teddy bear is being taken away.

I groggily reach my arms out. Soon I feel an embrace. I start to fall asleep again when Jack pulls me up in his arms. I feel so close to him but, for reasons I'm too tired to care or think about now, it doesn't feel uncomfortable at all.

I wrap my legs around his torso and bury my head in his neck. "So warm," I maffle.

I hear him laugh a little. I'm not sure where he's taking me, but I couldn't care less.
