Claire went to the kitchen, and I heard a drawer open and close. She returned with three sets of dice, the same ones from Thursday night. Sitting back... down, she said, “We’ll decide based on who gets the highest roll.”I felt a little left behind. “Decide what?”“You’ll see…” With that, she doled out the dice again, and we rolled. Claire rolled a seven, I got an eight, and Rita rolled a twelve.“Boxcars!” she shouted excitedly, and started to look the two of us up and down hungrily, while I tried. I myself was only about 5’9” with a stockier build but I wasn’t getting chased by the ladies if you know what I mean. Nikki started working with me at Rotini’s behind the counter. We talked every day a lot and we soon realized that she lived right next to the pool hall. She was too young to drive but she had her parents pick her up or drop her off every night.One night her dad got wasted, as he often did, and he showed up completely wasted. I had just gotten off work when heard yelling and I. So beautiful.”“I’m sorry if we disturbed you. We should have been more considerate.”“It’s your house. And it was beautiful. She’s beautiful.”Now I was beginning to get it. I think Wendy had a crush on Kate. Well, who could blame her?“Maybe we should make their coffee and go wake them up before I have to leave for school,” I said. She grinned at me and started turning out three more cups of perfect espresso, just the way the girls each liked theirs.School was good. Hell, that’s new! Bree plopped. Angelika was still trying to get him conscious then just as suddenly he was still and his eyes snapped open. “What the hell is going on?” Alan asked when he saw that all four were standing next to him.“We were wondering the same thing,” Angelika asked finally releasing him.“What are you talking about,” Alan asked even more confused trying to figure out where he was. The dream had seemed so real almost as if he was really there. Thinking a moment Alan thought I think it was a dream, or could it.
