Shorts: Lucid Dreams

This is a work of fiction... Any specific names of people, places, products, events, and organizations are just product of the author's imagination.

----------

The important thing is to figure it, out once you're in there. Because that's the essence of it. And once you figure it out and realize it, that's when you can start to take control.

Said the article that I've read a couple of months ago. Ever since then, I've became facinated by the idea it presented so I researched more about it. And when I learned that you can actually put yourself to achieve it, I tried to do it.

It took about two months before I was finally able to do it. And another month to be able to achieve it when I want it. Then an idea came rushing inside my head.

I need to see her...

-----

It was just like any of my ordinary day.

I woke up on my bed. Stayed on it sitting for a few minutes. Thinking, or rather contemplating about my life and the choices I have made. Then finally, I got up and went to the toilet. Then I washed my face without looking at the mirror. Yes, that would have to wait a bit until I'm sure of one thing. I walked back towards my work desk and pulled out the sliding cabinet. I retrieved a box, put it on top of the desk and opened it.

My eyes flashed at the sight of the bracelet she gave me as a birthday present. I wore it and finally went towards the mirror to look at myself. I couldn't help but smile as I inspect the reflection of my image with the bracelet on my wrist. Just wearing it on my wrist already made me felt so good. Because now I'm sure.

That this is not like any of my ordinary days. Not even anything close.

I stepped out of my room and I was greeted by the scent of newly cooked fried rice and tocino. And there she was standing by the dinning table. Her smile, the best one I've ever seen asides from my mom greeting me. My walk turned to stride as I rushed towards her.

"Good morn-" her greetings got cut off as I hugged her tightly.

I missed her so much. I've missed her scent which is lovelier than the food she just cooked. I missed the warmth of her body which is better than the sunlight coming in from the window.

"Good morning babe..." she said again, completing it this time, as she wrapped her arms around my back. "I missed you too..."

It took a while before we released each other from our hug.

"Now now..." she said. "I know you missed my cooking... It would be a waste if you wouldn't eat it..."

"Yes!" I replied excitedly. "Let's eat together!"

We ate breakfast like how we always do when it was just the two of us. Her sitting on my lap, and we were only using one plate. After we finished eating, she got up and took the dishes to the sink.

I couldn't help but stare at her. Even though she's got her back on me as she was washing the dishes, I couldn't help but admire everything about her. I couldn't stop myself from wanting her more, just like how I always do.

"Hey..." she said as she felt me hug her from behind. "I'm almost done,.."

"I just want to hug you..." I replied.

"Yeah? Just a hug huh?" she replied with a giggle. She finally finished washing the dishes so she turned her head to face mine. "Then why do I feel your excitement against my butt?"

I loosened my hug and she turned her whole body to face me.

"You know why I'm here right?" she asked.

I just stared at her eyes and nodded my head. Yes, I really know the reason behind her pressence.

"Then do what ever you want with me..." she said in a seductive way. "Take me just like how you want... Without holding back..."

I immediately kissed her. To which she responded back. With our lips locked, I released her from my hug and she immediately wrapped her arms around my neck. I moved my hands to her waist, slowly until it finally got under the hem of her shirt.

My hands can now feel the warm skin of her waist. My hands missed touching her. So I decided to caress her waist for a moment. Then my hands started to inch upwards until they both found her bare breasts. I cupped it and gently groped them both.

"Hhhhhmmmmmnnnnnppppp..." her soft muffled moan escaped from our locked lips.

I know that sound. I know she was liking it. So I continued groping her breasts. I started to add fondling of her nipples with my fingertips while gently groping. After a while, she broke off from our kiss. We went back to staring at each other's eyes while I continue to carress her breasts with my hands. She was bitting her lower lip while letting out soft moans.

I decided not to kiss her lips anymore and instead shifted my attack to her neck and the underside of her neck. This made her moan out louder.

"Fuck! Yeeeeaaaasssss... Uuuunnnngggghhhh I missed this..." she said with her erotic voice.

I missed her moans. I felt her left hand leave my shoulder. Then it grabbed my right arm. I felt her forcing my right hand away from her left breast and guiding it somewhere else. So I let her and I got more excited. She led my right hand to her already soaking wet pussy.

"You're not wearing panties huh?" I whispered in her ears as my fingertip started to stroke the space between her pussy lips.

"Yes... Uuuunnnngggghhhh..." she replied. "Because this uuunnnggghhhh... This how you want it..."

Yes. I remeber it. It was still during our college years when we started living together. I told her not to wear panties and bra when it's just the two of us. She told me that I just want it that way for easy access because I'm a pervert. I admitted of course, but added that I'm only a pervert because I've got the hots for her, and I will always be. She eventually liked my response and obliged since day one.

With my right hand now on her pussy, I figured I should not leave her left breast unattended. So that's where I redirected my mouth. She immediately let out a loud moan as I did just that.

"Fuck babe! Aaaaaaaaaahhhh yes! Yes! Ooooooooohhhh that's all yours!" she said with her left arm hugging my head tighter. "Yes suck it babe ooooooohhh..."

She was moaning wildy as my left hand and mouth pleased her breasts while my right hand was fondling her clit. Her pussy eventually became wetter. As in slippery wetter that when I run my finger along the space between its lips, it accidentally made its way inside her warm, moist love hole.

"Shit! Haaaaaaaahhhhh babe!" she gasp as that moment.

So I decided to finger-fuck her pussy and even made sure that I hit her g-spot every time my fingers thrust deep inside her. Her moans intensified and got mixed with her breath. And after a while, I was able to bring her to her much awaited orgasm.

"Ooooooooooooohhh yeesssssssss! Im gonnaaaaahhhh..." she moaned out loud. "Fuck yeeeeeeeeeaaaassssssss!"

She came. And she came so hard that she squirted.

"Gosh..." she said while panting for air. "You made me cum so much..."

She gently pushed me away. Just enough that it gave her the space to kneel in front of me. She gave me a naughty smile before she held on to the garter of my boxers. And as she bit her lower lip, she pulled it down to my knees.

"My my..." she said as she carefully grabbed my cock and started to gently jerk it off. "Look at this proud cock... This deserves lots of loving!"

"Fuck babe uuuuuuunnnnnngggghhhh!" I moaned as I felt her warm mouth enveloped the head of my cock.

Another set of my moans and grunts followed as she started rocking her head back and forth, with each time, I can feel my cock going deeper and deeper inside her mouth. After a while she released my cock, stood up and turned her back on me.

"Gosh babe... Giving you head kept my pussy drippin wet..." she naughtily said as she bent her body down as she held on to the edge of the sink countertop. "That naughty pussy needs your bad boy now..."

I held on to her waist as I aimed my cock. I rubbed the head first against her pussy and slowly applied pressure until I managed to part its lips. She turned her face and looked at me.

"Oh! There!" she said as we both felt the head of my cock poked the entrance of her love hole. "Shove it in babe! Please! I badly need it now!"

I obliged. We both moaned out loud as I moved my hips forward and my cock slowly thrusted all the way deep into her until the very last inch. We both always had the habit of savoring the first full thrust of my cock deep inside her pussy. So she grabbed and held on to the collar part of my shirt and pulled me close to her. We french kissed for a while before she decided to let go.

"Fuck me now babe!" she seductively whispered. "Fuck me and make me again the bitch that you deserve!"

I gripped her waist with my both hands and started to pound behind her. We exchanged moans and grunts. Then as the pace of my thrusts turned faster, harder and rougher, so does our moans and grunts. Then I shoved my cock all the way in, balls deep, when she came again.

I pulled out and her juice came rushing out from her gaped love hole. Grabing her by her waist, I turned her around to face me again. Then I lifted her up and made her sit on the counter top with her butt just right on the edge. We stared at each others with lustful eyes as I parted her thighs and positioned in between. With her one hand rubbing her clit, she used her other hand to grab hold of my cock and aimed it on her love hole.

Without breaking eye contact, I pushed and shoved my cock inside her. I saw how her eyebrows creased as she felt me invading her tight pussy again. Then just like before, we kissed torridly while savoring the pleasurable feeling of my cock deep inside her pussy. We were still on locked lips when I started to thrust out and back in.

She was about to break loose from it but I held on both of her cheeks to make sure her lips remained locked with mine. I loved how her muffled grunts sounded. It sounded like she was protesting. It made me hornier, so I decided to fuck her rougher. She eventually gave in. I felt both her hands gripping on to the collar of my shirt.

Judging the frequency of hur muffled moans, and the twitching tightening inside her pussy, I can feel she's about to cum again. So I let go of her lips but still held on both of cheeks as I gave her a few more pumps.

And cum again, she did.

I watched her face while she was cumming. And I can hear the shaking long grunt that she let out. After that she gave me a gentle slap on my cheek.

"Bad!" she whispered.

And I just gave her a naughty smile.

I started to fuck her again. This time we were again staring at each other as we exchange moans and grunts and curses.

"I'm almost..." I whispered. "Fuck I'm almost there..."

"Yeahhh... Uuunngghhh... Fuck me and make me cum with you babe..." she replied with pleading eyes.

So I frantically rubbed her clit with my thumb while thrusting in and out wildly. She was almost screaming out her moans. And the technique eventually paid off.

I gave her one final deep thrust and she forcefully pulled my neck towards her and she initiated another french kiss. Right at the moment of the first spurt of my cum, I felt a warm flooding wrapped around the body of my cock. She came together with me. We were still kissing while her pussy is squeezing my cock until the last drop of cum.

"Gwapo mo talaga babe...." she whispered with blushing cheeks and she started to comb my hair with her hands while staring at my face.

"You're still the prettiest..." I replied with a smile.

We kissed again and again and again. I don'k exactly know how long, but I bet it's more than 3 full songs long.

"Babe you're still hard..." she said again blushing. "Please do me again..."

Without pulling out, I carried her while we were staring at ech others face. We were pecking each other's lips as I carried her to my room until I laid her on my bed. And there we made love again. Round two in all different positions. We ended with her on top of me. And I love the view when we both came that time.

She was looking up to the ceiling, her arched body shaking. Her long moan was more of like a scream of pleasure. Then she fell completely on top of my body, panting for air.

"I love you Trish...." I whispered. "I love you still..."

"I know..." she whispered back. "I felt it... You did made sure I felt it..."

"I wish we can be just like this forever..." I said.

"Josh..." she replied. "You know we can't..."

"Yeah... I know..." I said as drop of tears rolled out from each of my eyes.

"Hush babe... Please don't cry..." she replied. "Now that you achieved and mastered this... You can always find me here..."

A brief moment of silence followed.

"Sleep well now my love..." she whispered. "I'll always be waiting for you here..."

Those were the last words I heard from her befor my eyelids completely gave in to darkness...

Krrrriiiinnnnggggg... Krrrriiiiinnnggg...

This time I was awoken to the sound of my alarm clock. I got up and I was alone again on my bed. Again, I stayed sitting on top of it for a while, contemplating, before finally getting up.

I washed my face and avoided the mirrors again. Then, slowly I went to my desk, and took out the box and opened it. There was no smile this time. The two items that I see inside confirmed the state of where I am right now.

I am back to my normal days awakening from a lucid dream.

Lucid dreams are vivid dreams wherein you realize that you are in that actual dream. And realizing that it is just a dream, you can take control, if not all, then majority of what is about to happen should you choose to continue on with it instead of waking up.

I took the bracelet and inspected it, trying to force out a hope. But there was none. The bracelet, wheathered and worn out by age is no longer wearable in the reality world. I put it back in the box and this time took out the second item.

It was a picture. A photo of me with Trish by my side and her arms wrapped around mine. Our faces were like of that in my lucid dream a while ago.

But then hope came. I remembered Trish's final words before that dream ended.

Now that you achieved and mastered this... You can always find me here... Sleep well now my love... I'll always be waiting for you here...

Yes. Now that I've learned how to achieve lucid dreams by will, I can see her more often and when I want to.

I closed the box and put it back inside the sliding cabinet of my desk. Then I took out a calling card and dialled the number inscribed there. After a few rings, my call was answered.

"Hello Dr. Veracruz..." greeted the man who answered my call. "Have you decided on my proposal?"

"Well... Regarding that..." I replied. "Your offer still stands, right?"

"Yes Dr. Veracruz..." the man replied with a chuckle. "As long as I can not find yet another person with the same level of expertise that you have... Then that offer still stands..."

"Then I'm in..." I relpied.

"That's great to hear... When would you like to talk about the details?" he asked.

"I have nothing to do so we can do it today..."

"Alright... I will send you the address to where we can meet in private... I aplogize, but I hope you understand why it needs to be private..."

"No worries..." I replied to the man. "You're a public figure... That I understand..."

After a few more exchanges of words, I ended the call and a text came in just after a few minutes. I grabbed a towel and went over to the front of the mirror. There I see the reflection of myself. Older than the image of me in my lucid dream. Around a decade much older. To be exact, around a dozen years older since then.

Back then, when Trish was still alive in this world...

----------

Note: I actually intend to make this a series or a mini-series (depending on how many chapters it will take for the actual complete story). But I decided that I will release the next chapters once I'm completely done up to the last chapter.

So until then, this will stay as part of the Shorts collective since it can stand as a one-shot with an open ending...

Thank you...
