《Cherry Scent》VIII. Daydreaming
Advertisement
Have you ever accidentally had a crush over someone you just met but you know it's too soon? Cause same.
~ Scarlett's POV ~
I was way in over my head, as we sat down on the ground and went live, I paid zero attention.
My mind was focused on two things, one of them being Jaden and the other being how the hell did Jaden get stuck in my head.
I realized I have zoned out and began to daydream but I didn't dare fall out of it, I wanted to see where this would go.
I found myself still at my house but this time, Layla and Cora weren't near me.
I watched as my outfit transformed from pajamas to a gorgeous red dress, I looked over my shoulder and watched as Jaden walked out of his house with a matching suit.
My heart raced slightly, I wasn't sure how to feel.
This was wrong in many ways, I wasn't supposed to have feelings for someone I've just met.
But it felt right in more ways than one, it made me feel so happy.
I felt a certain bliss as he approached me, there was music playing but there wasn't any music.
The butterflies in my stomach began to ignite when he put his hand out with a smile, I took it happily.
I wrapped my arms around his neck, he wrapped his around my waist and pulled my closer.
My hair was brushed to the side, I had a rose on the left side where the hair wasn't pushed to.
"You look so gorgeous right now Scarlett."
I heard his voice whisper softly into my ear, it sent goosebumps and shivers down my spine.
The music was captivating but it bothered me slightly when it had no lyrics, I rested my head on his chest and listened in on his heart beat.

He smelled like cologne and vanilla, it was nostalgia but I didn't dare let go or say anything.
He lifted my head up and smiled at me, I smelt like cherries.
It was signature scent when mom said it didn't smell good on her, it smelled amazing on me.
As we leaned in slightly, he paused for a moment with a smirk dancing on his lips.
"You smell like cherries, it brings me happy memories."
He said, as we leaned in once more, I swear I saw heart eyes.
Nothing could make me unhappy, before our lips met, I was taken out of my trance.
"Scar, are you okay? You zoned out for like twenty five minutes."
Layla asked, I sighed and nodded slowly, giving her a slight smile before I placed my head onto my pillow.
I was tired, we wanted to stay up until the sunrise but I wanted to sleep until I could see him again.
I know I could go over to his house and speak to him but it's not that type of seem him again, it was the type of seeing him like in my day dream.
The music in my daydream gave me inspiration, I grabbed my notebook and glitter pen and began to write down lyrics.
The slight joy I felt when I recalled the dream was amazing, if only it were real.
Layla and Cora ended the live and they began speaking.
Have you ever accidentally had a crush over someone you just met but you know it's too soon? Cause same.
I said calmly as I looked at the put together song, Layla looked at me and nodded slightly.
I closed my note book and placed it away, I laid down again and decided to go back to sleep.
It may not bring back the same dream but it may trigger similar ones to my mind, I was hoping for that.

Author's note: You are reading a first draft, written mostly while drinking cheap whiskey. Expect it to read like hot garbage and I guarantee that it’ll meet your expectations. I’m a storyteller, not a writer - there’s a huge difference between the two professions. IMPORTANT! This story is told in a first-person limited, conversational style, with Emmett occasionally breaking the 4th wall and addressing the reader directly. This means that YOU and Emmett may have absolutely no idea why stuff is happening, because there will be little or no exposition or other POV's. Read the comments for spoilers, ask questions if you want to know something.This work incorporates blended aspects of Xianxia, Wuxia, Super powers, and Western Magic into a post-apocalyptic fantasy adventure. It is none of those things and all those things, mashed together. The MC is Over Powered, but so are many, many others. He just hasn't met them yet. Dear Student, What follows is an adaption of the diary of Emmett Carter before his Ascension. While the decades during and after the Aurora Apocalypse are lost to us, the Ascended himself has allowed us to publish this work so long as we warn the reader that it may not be entirely accurate or present an unbiased viewpoint of the events. One should also note that the Aurora was in flux during that time and some things that were possible in the early days are no longer possible, especially with the advent of the Akashic record. Editors have included footnotes when possible to explain pre-aurora technologies or concepts and how they relate to current magical technologies. The contents of this work may upset readers. If you’ve ever been in a natural disaster, had a house fire, witnessed a murder, lost a loved one to violence, or have a strong opinion on the sanctity of life, please do not read this. It contains dramatic scenes of a world in the throes of an apocalyptic event. There are no rainbows and unicorns, only loss, uncertainty, and death while the survivors struggle to rebuild their lives. Updates Thursdays and Sundays for now. Word count is about 2000 ~ 4000ish per chappie.

Rooms of the Desolate
Rooms of the Desolate is a collection of short stories designed to guide the reader through the many rooms and mysteries of the bleak and greyscale labyrinth of the Desolate. The first entry, "The Forever Tower" follows an unnamed wanderer climbing an endless, colourless tower; the only world they have ever known. As they slowly ascend alongside the masses, they consider the nature of their world and look to the corridors as temptation beckons. The second entry, "Production Line", follows an engineer in a boundless factory, who encounters a product that does not wish to bow to the overseers and makes them question their belief in the truth and duties they were made to believe. Content guidelines: Current entries do not include explicit profanity, but future entries may do so, hence the presence of that tag. Some entries do include gore and violence, though not currently to particularly extreme degrees. The Desolate is exactly that: a desolate world; as such, it is bleak, downtrodden, and may deal with mental struggles. Cover art credit: Adam Borkowski on Pexels.
