Chapter 36 Am I In Love With Her?

• ~Axel~
• I jolted awake and placed my hand on my pounding heart. I had half-expected that I would still be trapped in that insane dream. But no, there was my bed; the familiar dark color of my room came into view as I fluttered my eyes open. Sweat slid down my spine, cold and sticky, as I sucked in a sharp breath to prove I was there. Alive. Awake and no longer in the dream.
• I scanned the room, searching until I saw her. Tamara was curled beside me, her chest rising and falling in the slow, steady sleep rhythm. I heaved a sigh of relief, knowing she was alright, but I couldn't stop thinking about what had happened in the dream.
