Fiction Suspense

                      Reading your dreams.

After of coming to house was walking on the street, I felt very cheesy I don’t know truly why.

My body was very weird in the morning up. I don’t know was colorful of my new favorite’s red lencery, or aunt´s boots gave me as a gift in August, may also be wintry weather, I kept to supermarket after look some ribbon that remind me to my mom, pulled out my list from my purse, I had Cortinas, daisies, red strawberries, honey.

Turned my face away, looked at my list with resignation, and proposed that if I could afford money could still go back, in fact, if I closed my eyes, I could remember that ribbon in my hands when it smelled like cotton and lay in my golden hair.

walking step by step until I saw a place where there were beautiful pastel curtains with geometric figures that rose to the view, pushed the door, get in there, a nice young woman close to me asking - what’s on your mind? Miss.

-Get a good photo, and I walked past her.

she grabbed my shoulder, - Understand, but what color are you interested in? chuckle at her question.

looked in her eyes just said: -Nice pictures to match my living room, it can be a lilac with cream, a lemon yellow with woven diamonds, returned her question, you think you can have one here, please I would love to see it.

She looked at me again with more seriousness in her face saying: -Of course, think there are some nearby, but I couldn't tell you if they have these designs suitable for your taste. Go ahead and look at, Are you a designer? I love your style.

-THX I smiled and kept walking.

At the bottom I see some nice, flared ones, but on closer look they only measure 137cm, I want someone longer than 274cm. I went to other girl with a uniform like first one, ask -----have you any of these longer curtains with 274cm? she also laughed, -No miss those are standard heights and if you want something longer, I'm afraid you will have to have it made to your needs, don’t work here, just love this color, smiled a little forced, -walked to the exit when Medfly intercepted me saying, -I'm sure you will have an excellent photograph.

-Thank you I got a smile; excuse me do you know where they sell curtain fabrics around here?

-She nodded or yes near the KLIM flower shop, Have a nice afternoon.

Hunger hit me in the belly, I need to eat something, I'm starving, I want a pizza with tomato, basil, corn, Eggplant and pineapple yogurt with carob cream, I sat down in the restaurant, scanned code on my cell phone, chose Italian pizza, but I wanted it without cheese, with some eggplant, none of the options seemed to be my pizza so I left, there was no waiter in sight, but a camera noticed my absence and a young man approached me with an affable smile -What do you want to eat?

-Italian pizza with tomato, basil, corn eggplant and a pineapple ice cream with carob cream.

-Understand, can make one for you? we don't have carob ice cream but can make it pineapple.

 -With almond milk answered.

-It will be a pleasure to please you, sit down, in 40m your meal will be on the table, suddenly my belly grumbled and said it will be less,

- Better go, a lady needs to eat, Told him

-Smiled, someone needs to wait, I said to myself.

looked around me, colors that woke me up punch in my stomach, tables crowded with food, so I took out my military green notebook and began to draw my new curtains with trapeze and rhombus figures, Until the weariness entered my mind, table was served, the sky seemed clear a huge glass platform rose to the sky.

Light Turn off in a moment, everything was dark, I don’t know what happened, heard a voice distance saying: -electricity went off in a moment everything was ok.

Could see the figure by the candles I had on my table, I was so hungry I didn't care about anything else but eating my delicious pizza with ice cream, a handsome young man sat next to me, although he was thin with a muscular body in cotton clothes, I didn't pay much attention to him, I started eating so fast that I couldn't tell when the pizza was finished, ice cream was melting, little drops were falling on the table, I licked around the glass, I ate spoon by spoon until I was satisfied, the boy said to me -be satisfies, Do you want grape cookies? ,

-No thanks, pay the bill with phone data, turn on light cellphone by to go to the bathroom, clean my face, my hands, take a little toothpaste out of my bag, leave the mobile phone on the strong cement column, while was washing my teeth while suddenly a tape block out my mouth, even if I couldn't breathe, moved my hands so hard that didn't let handcuffs put on, kicked so many boots until took off the tape.

- Miss touch my shoulder, I spit in your face trying to defend myself; but laughter woke me up, when I raised my head, it was in that young man covered with saliva, sorry, it was not my intention, he answered me with a smile -I think you had a fight, his food is on the table luckily don’t happen what to my face, ha-ha.

was really embarrassed, didn’t know what to do, until the hunger was gone, somebody in muffled voice she always turns into a monster when she’s hungry., I Feel ashamed indeed.

-If don’t eat, he thinks don’t like me, but I do it he could be angry.

-Stop mumbling, hurried up, eat that. those be my apologies, he sat from on me in cotton clothing when the light went away.
