Dream Come True

Jamal was dozing in the back seat by the time Lucy pulled into the parking lot at Harry's place.

After Lucy turned off the car she didn't get down immediately but remained in her seat staring at Jamal through the rearview mirror.

Sometimes it was so easy to forget that he was only a kid because of the way he acted and spoke.

She giggled when she recalled how he had proudly taken out the card to pay for their movie ticket. Now that was something.

She couldn't wait to watch him grow up so she would see how he would pamper his girlfriend. Hopefully they won't be in the plural.

She had noticed that majority of the kids who had flocked around him at the park were girls.

She spent only a moment contemplating whether to carry him in or wake him up, before he opened his eyes.

He smiled at her when he caught her eyes in the mirror, "I dozed off," he said as though she had missed it, and she grinned.
