Define Me

BEEP BEEP BEEP, my alarm cut through my dreams like a knife and I shot upright in bed.  I was having a bit of an odd dream, it was set before the reestablishment took over, and I dreamed that I was a normal kid living a normal life with parents that loved me...but everyday I was always sad and I couldn't figure out why which was distressing in the dream.  For that split second just before you regain your self awareness I believed the false reality to be true but then I was suddenly whisked back to reality.  At one point in my life I would have felt a yearning for that other life but when I looked to my left and found Warner with his face smushed against a pillow, staring at me with those deep emerald eyes I remembered that I no longer felt that way.  This was the life I want, that I was always meant to have.

'good morning beautiful' Aaron murmured sleepily.

I grinned and leant down to place a kiss upon his messy bed head.  He then pushed his head back and stole a sleepy kiss from my lips.

I pushed back 'Yum morning breath' I teased.

'Excuse me Miss Ferrars what was that you just said?' He leapt to grab my waist and started tickling my sides, an excited squeal shot from my mouth.  I was giggling and gasping for breath as he pulled me close to him and buried me under the covers continuing to attack my body with his playful tickles.

'Stop it! Aaron I'll kill you I swear!' I shrieked.  After that statement he finally stopped and started laughing to himself.

'I think we both know that thats about the most empty threat you have ever given to anybody, ever' I wanted to wipe that cheeky smile off his cheeky face. 

'shhhhhhh' i murmured, 'well it worked didn't it?' A sly smile playing at my lips.

'damn it, you got me there Juliette... but for how long?' Then he tried to reach me again, but I guessed he would have done that and I rolled off the bed and strutted to my wardrobe to get dressed. 

'Come on tickle monster, we have a meeting to attend at 9o'clock and i can't be late again, its not good for my reputation.  I don't want Kenji making a fuss about it aga-

'I think you should wear the purple one' Aaron interrupted, he was standing right behind me and it made my heart thump in surprise. The dress was the same one he had given me to wear all that time ago.

'hmmmm maybe I will... But only if you let me pick what you wear.' He looked startled for a second but then replied. 

'Fine, okay, but you better make me look good' I clapped my hands together and pounced into the next room, the whole room had rows upon rows of clothes and stacks of every different kind of shoe imaginable.  I loved Aaron's wardrobe.  He's promised me one next door when things settle down in the sector, I'm going to fill it with jeans and as many comfortable t-shirts as I can find.
