Ernest has made it into my dreams for the second tnow. It madewonder, have we met before? But let's put the dream aside for a moment. The last time, I dreamt that the guy carryinghad a mole on his back, and guess what? Ernest has one exactly like it.
And then yesterday, he calledLicia. I heard it clear as day, no mistake about it.
Lost in my thoughts, Deborah's voice snappedback to reality, "Felicia, how cyou're back in bed?" It's not every day that this sleepyhead wakes up before her alarm.
I knew what she was getting at and gave her a look, "What do you mean 'I'm back'? What's that supposed to mean?" Deborah chuckled mischievously, "Oh, I thought you and Mr. Collins..." "What are you thinking?" I cut her off, "Don't you have anything decent in your head?" "Con, a single man and a single woman, isn't love and romance the most natural thing?" Deborah had a point.

Deborah scooted closer, clutching her pillow, "Felicia, you know what? I'd love to see Mr. Collins, the man of restraint, let loose." "Huh?" I didn't get her at first.
"I mean, seeing that uptight man get all lovey-dovey and out of character," Deborah's words madelaugh.
"If you're so curious, you'd have to find out for yourself because you won't see anything through someone else's eyes," I said, sitting up.
