A nightmare within a dream - Marwa Kodmany (pride and prejudice read .TXT) 📗

you so long??? The lips stick!?!?” said Jay when he showed me the way to the big reception.

“I thought you were lost!! By the way! Today is the day!!” said Jay. He is so elegant unlike Ethan. I don’t know why I feel him in every step! Every gasp I take. I feel his both arms around my hip!!

“Ethan is proposing to Mila! Can you imagine?!!??” said jay and looked at me waiting for my surprise!

“ I know” I whispered in low shy tone!

“What?” he froze.

“ I know” I raised my tone because I guess he would never hear me. The music was too loud now, so much noise due to people shout and dance! How is he gonna propose in this crazy climate????

“I heard you! But how did you know? Did Mila know about it??” he asked.

“Get over!! I just know!!” I said and grasped his hand spontaneously to the dance floor! He smiled as if he never expected that! I gotta stop analyzing and enjoy life! What surprised most that it’s pitball! Why do I find this man around me all day! Give me everything tonight for all we know we might not get tomorrow lets do it tonight. I bet Mila is dancing somewhere. she likes this song!  I do want this night to end in peace! Jay is cool! No formality needed for him to express himself as a doctor. He is so simple, every girl would wish to meet someone like him, no complications, no boundaries; he can make a friend in a fraction of a moment!

Mila came and danced between us! They are friends from such a long time! I don’t have a place here among them even if he is my date! I have never been as a defender. I don’t fight for myself! I just surrender easily! But tonight I have this feeling that I should live and move on! Life is made to be enjoyable! I should search for a cure of happiness somewhere in this party!

Suddenly the music went off! And a light was focused on Mila! Oh my God! That‘s it! I know this song! Imagine me and you! I do! I think about you day and night its only right, to think about the girl you love and hold her tight so happy together>>>>> Ethan was holding the microphone singing her the song that she liked, our dad liked. He bowed before her, for a second he gave me a smirk, and looked at her in the eyes, bringing the golden ring.

“ I love you Mila! Will you marry me Cherry! Please!!?” said Ethan. Everyone was catching their breath looking surprisingly at the two couple in front of them! Is he serious!?!? He is going to marry her! Will she accept?? Oh Mila! This guy is not err<<<< 

“ yes yes yes yes yes yes” said Mila interrupting my conversation I was having in my mind. I left the dance floor heading to the buffet! I can’t simplify it! Why do I feel offended!?? Is my nightmare a sign I should count on!?? Or it is just some psychological issue!!?? Sure! She will accept him!

“What’s wrong?!?!” asked jay after he followed me! Why is he stalking me like this??

“Nothing. I feel dizzy after dancing! It’s been a long time!”

“Can I get you a drink or something? Please let me help!”

“It’s romantic!!” I said looking at Mila doing a slow dancing with Ethan.

“Romantic?? Me! Helping you!?!?” he giggled then he stood up next to me looking at them too “ok I know! I’m not funny!”

“ No! I meant them! Is he good for her??!”

“Well! He is a good man!! Sometimes confused! But he is all good! By the way I still wanna know how you knew about this entire proposal thing!!”

“He was yelling at the servants when I was looking for the bath room. I heard him!”

“Yes he is!! He told me that he woke up today and couldn’t find the ring! It’s Mrs.christ’s. He called me up early in the morning to tell me that he should postpone it. When I came here to know what’s going on! He told me that he had a bad nightmare of a girl killing him! That’s what freaked him out. I thought it was Mila but he didn’t tell me. Crazy people are among us! You should be careful!” he smiled in sarcasm.

“We all have bad nightmares!” Oh my God! Is this for real!! What is going on!!?!?

The beat rhythm is on again! I can’t handle any noise I’m enough with the one I have in my head! I saw both Ethan and Mila coming towards us, Holding hands. Mila was flying! She looked like a butterfly. Does she love him?? Yes she is! She is in her very high spirit.

“ I wanna borrow her doc. A girl talk!” said Mila looking at me then she winked Jay.

“She is all yours” said Jay. Ethan was peeking when punch of guys came and passed on good wishes to him! But he never stopped giving me that look!

“Well ! Well!Well!!” I said checking her ring closely.

“Yes yes yes!! I’m getting married”

“Are you sure?”

“Don’t panic! It’s ok! I love him!” she shrugged. My heart rate is on high levels!

“I wanna go! For real! I’m tired!”

“Oh come on! Please! Don’t you like Jay!! Can’t you see him looking at you!??!

Can’t you see your boyfriend sneaking upon your sister?!?! I asked her my imaginary question! Haha I smiled to this madness. I’m going crazy! That’s it! Ethan disturbed me!

“I just wanna go! I have some work to do you know!”

“Are you kidding?”

“No I’m not! Congratulations!” I said my words hesitatingly and head to Ethan. What the hell!!!

“Ethan!! Congratulations! excuse me! I really need to go!! You got to look after my little sister or I have to deal with you myself” I said it without even thinking. My head was blank. Nothing was up there. I threatened him in public! In front of people, in front of Jay! I’m suicidal. His blue eyes glowed! His lips twitched with a suppressed smile. My breath hitched.

“I better watch out then!” Everyone was laughing. Mila was shocked!. He didn’t ask me to stay! He didn’t want me there as much as I didn’t

“I’ll give you a ride!” said Jay.

“Oh No! You don’t have to! Please! Enjoy the party”

“Really! No fun in this without you” he grinned.

“Ok if you insist!”

“I insist! And if you are interested in doing something else! I’m in “

“No thank you! I guess I’m tired” I said it when I looked at the manor as an outside look! It seemed my prison! The valet boy arrived in jay’s Borch! What a Borch! It was a black one! He looked at me to see my expression but I was recalling memories of the night. I’m not with you pal!!

“After you my lady!” he smiled and opened the car door for me.

“Thank you!”

On the road he was silent; he didn’t even put some music on the radio. No single word!!

“Do you know Ethan?” he asked.

“No! Why asking? I guess we haven’t had the great first impression”

“Oh! I guess it’s mutual!!” he murmured

“What is it?”

“He told me to watch out! He doesn’t like you at all.”

“Aha! Great! Yeah it is mutual” I opened the window.

“He is good! Don’t judge him. I saw the look on your face when he proposed to Mila”

“She has known him for like 6 months! It’s not enough!”

“There is really something big about all this! Do you know that Ethan took the risk to propose with his mother’s wedding ring! Mrs.christensen doesn’t know anything about all this. She is out of town. He will face her when she comes back. She really has to accept then”

“Holy God!!! What??? A childish game like this gonna cost him! Are they out of their minds!?? She has to approve! She is his mother! Poor Mila. She is gonna go through hell!”

“Chill out angry lady! Hahaha they will survive! Oh! We arrived. I’m sorry we discussed this on our first date. We really need to get together sometimes!”

“I guess it’s my fault! I get irritated easily these days. You know new city, destiny and new faces. All together were so hard on me! I had a great time thank you doc! Wish me luck” I smiled shyly and opened the door.

“I did too! See ya!”

“See ya”

Prologue

Prologue:

“Wow! Where am I?” I said quietly. I checked out the place around. I’m in the middle of nowhere! Talking to myself I guess! I’m shaking! It’s cold up here! First I have to analyze the elements then I will decide. Marline! Be strong!. I’m casual and wearing a hiking boots. Oh it’s Ohio! I’m here with my sister Mila, we talked about it yesterday; she said that Cleveland, Ohio is the best place to promenade.  Now I remember this. Where is Mila for God sake!?? There was a stunning silver Mercedes-Benz sprinter van just right behind me. This doesn’t belong to me!! Mila couldn’t afford this neither do I!! So What Now! “Milaaaaaaaaaaaaa” I shouted. I can just hear my echo spreading through the valley! No Body is here and I feel sore in my stomach! Oh My God! The guy from the kitchen has killed me! Am I in Heaven??  Everything quite real around here, it can’t be heaven. I have seen this view in a magazine before. This place is for wealthy people who are looking for a luxurious place to spend their money on! Heaven is no place to be recognized.  Then the scene of that lovely pretty man popped out in my head and forced me to think more. Yes! He meant something to me! I can remember the ring in his hand so clearly! I looked down hesitatingly! Praying not find one! But I found a gorgeous golden wedding ring is telling me that all was true. He was officially my husband! And he killed me with cold blood. I loved him. I fell for him. Maybe I can’t remember further details but I trust my instinct. He was an important figure in my life.. My tears fell off. I wanna come back!!!God!!!

Suddenly I felt someone tapping on my shoulder, I turned around! Oh! I’m totally shocked. It’s him! “You want chocolate!” he said and there were a protected smile on his face that didn’t reach his eyes. Are you mocking me handsome?!? He didn’t change!  He looks truthfully fabulous, wearing his Ray ban, pilot sun glasses. The lenses color matches his hair. He dressed in casual as well, lovely navy polo T-shirt on his fulfill muscles chest under an Adidas sportive black jacket, a dark jeans with a hiking boots and a gun belt!!!. A gun Belt!! Why?!!

 He is so perfect in every way. I took the chocolate from him. Yes! I’m hungry! No hard feeling for you now! I want my snickers back! I smiled to the idea. “Do I look funny to you dar… sorry I mean babe??”He said smiling at me shyly. Dar… Darling! He calls me darling; it’s easy on my ear! I remember! It’s Ethan! You killed me!!!!!!!! “Why?!” I said and our eyes couldn’t leave their position on each other.. He turned his face to the other
