1 Prelude

You know the feeling when your brains just get so confused with what is going on? Like things happened so quickly, yet at the same time, everything feels like it is on slow-mo?

All I remembered was Jerome grabbing my arm as I turned away. He spun me back around and looked at me intensely. Then I saw Matthias' car drove up to the driveway. Jerome shook me, pulling my focus back to him. At this point, I thought he wanted to hit me and my natural reflex told me to dodge. But to my surprise, he bent his tall figure and closed his eyes. "What on earth?!" I thought, as he leaned in and planted a long and deep kiss on my lips while I stared at him with wide and crazy eyes. I could not believe this! JEROME JUST KISSED ME!

When he finally pulled away after what felt like an eternity, I could hear my fiance's voice. Deep and enchanting. "What the hell do you think you are doing Jerome?!" he bellowed. Then quite instantly, a punch flew across Jerome's face. I swear I heard bones crushing. The next thing I knew, Jerome was down on the ground with Matthias over him.

As for me… I was pretty much stuck at my crazy wide eyes composure when all that happened. I swallowed hard, trying to apprehend the situation that unfolded. Am I dreaming?
