It didn’t take long for Abby to drift off once she climbed into bed. As she slept she dreamt. She was walking into the living room of their apartment, and she could see a young girl about her age balled up on the couch. She was crying.
“Hey sweetie what’s up?” She asked as she sat down next to her. As she looked at this girl she could feel the overwhelming urge to protect her, keep her safe. The girl looked up but for some reason Abby couldn’t make out her face.
“It’s Tiff, she’s angry at me for not doing something” she whimpered “she wanted me to hook up with some guy so she could get with his friend, but I said no”. Abby nodded, knowing full well what Tiffany was like.
“Look sweetie,” she said as she placed a hand on her shoulder, “I’m proud of you for sticking to your guns, your mother would be too” she added with smile. The girl sniffled and threw herself against Abby in a tight hug.
“Thanks Daddy, you always know what to say” she said through sobs. Abby placed her own arms around the girl and squeezed her gently back.
“I try my best” she replied as the girl broke away.
“You’re the best” she said happily as she left the room. Abby sighed deeply before getting up and heading to the hallway to grab her bag. She knew there was plenty of work she still needed to get finished as she took it into the master bedroom and sat down at the desk there. She pulled out a large stack of paper and started leafing through it. She ignored the fact that she knew everything about the subject matter of each of the essays and began to read through the first one.
“This is going to take a while” she muttered to herself.
Landon sighed with relief as he finally put down his pen.
“Wow, that was like, so boring!” He muttered. Usually marking took a lot longer, but he found he was struggling to keep his focus tonight. Instead of taking his time he skimmed each paper, then graded it between and B and C friending on how long it took him. With a yawn he stretched and stood up.
“Sleepy time at last!” He mumbled as he stripped off to just his panties and t-shirt and clambered into bed. He was soon sound asleep.
He found himself dreaming of the mall. Next to him was Abby’s friend Tiffany. He glanced her up and down, admiring her shape. They were stood on one of the upper floors looking out over the main concourse.
“So &@#% see any boys you like?” Tiffany asked. Landon couldn’t make out the name she used. He looked over the railings at the crowd below. His eyes passed over a few boys, but he found his eyes falling on the girls more. Admiring their outfits, then their looks. He felt strange, normally he could appreciate the outfits the girls wore, and how he wished he could wear something like that. Now he felt an attraction to the girls themselves, a longing to be with them. He shook his head.
“Like, Not really” he replied. Tiffany rolled her eyes.
“Christ &@#% you’re so picky!” She chuckled. Again Landon’s gaze fell upon Tiffany, and he felt that same attraction. With a sigh he turned and looked back over the railing, spotting a very attractive blonde girl sitting alone. He felt his heart flutter a little as she stretched her arms up, pushing her ample bosom outward.
‘I’m not that picky’ he thought to himself.
