SIDNEY HAD A DREAM

Vince continue to observe her wanting to know what she was thinking. Also, to know if she was aware of this, but all she did was closed her eyes as though she was in pain. Quickly asking, "Sidney are you in pain?"

Seeing she opens her eyes then said, "I am fine.

"Okay, I am happy to hear that but I have a nagging question on my mind, and I need an honest to God answer."

"Okay, what question is that?"

"My ring, how did you get a measurement?"

"That was easy, when I held your hand I take your measurement."

"But that is impossible."

"For you may be but not for me, but why do you say that?"

"I was just thinking that you must have given me the ring you bought for Gilbert."

"Do I look that dense? do I need a reminder every day to torture my soul? because that fool never turns up at the Hall?"

"Okay, but then tell me how you did it?"

Taking his hand in hers just as that day, when she smiles then she fit her fingers between his.

"I don't get it?"

"You might not, but while I was resting my hand on your palm, I average the difference on both sides of my finger and from what I see it seems to be the correct sized."

Sidney notices the way Vince scratches his head, wondering what he was thinking about? After a few minutes and he said nothing, she said, "Hello, I am waiting to hear what you are thinking about the ring?"

"I know you are waiting but would you believe me if I tell you why Gilbert didn't show up?"

"I will if you are speaking the honest truth, so go ahead I am listening."

"Okay, I know you were very angry thinking I am just like Gilbert but you had the opportunity to change who you wanted to marry and you choose me and I went along with it.

Sidney the main reason Gilbert didn't show up for your wedding, is because he could not afford to buy the ring set you choose.

And the honest truth is our wedding was already set, and I have already bought the ring before I met Gilbert, or was aware of your previous stood up."

"Okay, okay, I believe you are not lying to me?"

"Thank you, but if you have doubt, I have my receipt to prove, that I bought the ring before our discussion with Gilbert, and if you recall clearly, I came to the Hall after, and you brush me off so easily."

"I am sorry, but the bell in my head was driving me crazy and now this music is in my head, but right now I am tired, so you might as well carry me to bed."

"That's the best idea I have heard since we met."

"What could I be thinking of, I might as well walk."

"Okay you win, can I do something?"

"What's that?"

"Can I kiss your lip to check something?"

"Hello, our deal was if you guess the song, you carry me for a tour around the house, no kissing, you hear me."

"Alright, alright, you don't have to get angry, but you kiss me in the church?"

"Yes, I did, but that was to make sure my mom won't think I was lying to her."

"Okay I got it, there are two sides to you but never mind, I am sorry, I really thought you had some feelings for me, or even liked me a tiny bit but forget I even asks."

"Good, I don't want you thinking I agreed to this sneer your grandfather set, and for your information, there are two sides to me, my right side and left side, so do me a favour and be on my right side."

"Wow, I didn't know that, but you know what I am talking about but one of these days."

"Did I do or say something to offend you, or is your feeling hurt?"

"Just forget it, you feel you have all the right answers," resting her on the bed then went to the washroom.

"Did he think I was really intoxicated with his kiss, and how did he know that was the song in my head? I didn't think he would guess it."

Closing her eyes, Sidney felt so tired from only taking her shower and changing. Pulling the covers over her as a chilliness consumes her inner being.

Between her wake and sleep, she tries to recall if he came out from the washroom then she felt this heaviness overshadow her.

Unable to control the tears, it just flows, wanting to wipe the tears away but her hand felt like lead and won't move, whispering the blood of Jesus.

Then the shouting begins, no one could stop the fire, Sidney knew she was shouting at the top of her voice, to wet the top of the building but it was no use. No one was hearing anything she was saying.

Entering the room after his breakfast knowing he needed to get some rest being so uncomfortable on the sofa. Hearing as he opens the door her screams.

Vince went to her trying to wake her as he keep shaking her hearing the way she was squealing. He knew she was dreaming but she was crying and shouting to out the fire.

When she finally quieted down Vince wondered how did she fall asleep so strongly after she slept the entire night. Looked at her once again seeing she was asleep. Resting two pillows at her side and lay down on the bed.

Opening his eyes Vince thought she must have woken up but she was still asleep only she was in his arms cuddle up. The pillow was pushed to the foot. she looks so comfortable but he knew if she wakes up and fing=d me in the bed she will become angry.

Checking the time seeing he got two hours of good rest, and it was already twelve-o-clock.

Leaving her to rest he quietly leave the room and went to join his family for lunch knowing there were guests.
