Chapter Sixty Seven

Erica sighed deeply and explained everything to Tracy. Tracy gulped down her water and stared at Erica.

“You got a serious issue sweetheart” she said and Erica nodded.

“That’s it ma’am, that’s why I have to be careful. It’s my life and his life at stake here” she replied.

“Isn’t there any signs on how to truly find the man in your dreams?” Tracy asked, leaning back on her chair. Erica shook her head.

“I just see one of them, I don’t know which of them it is” she replied softly. Tracy nodded.

“Fine then, let’s see until then. It’s on Saturday and you have a lot to do. Your wedding dress and hall, decorations and… It’s just so much to do. We’ll figure it out together” Tracy said, touching her hand. A smile crept on Erica’s face.

“Thank you ma’am Tracy” she replied.
.
Hours later, Erica got to her house. She threw herself on the bed and closed her eyes. She knew that Ava doesn’t know what’s truly going on in her life, that’s why she’s avoiding her. She wished she could tell her, but she didn’t want to involve Ava. She never wanted to tell Tracy also.
She sprung up and got into the bathroom. She had a short shower and ordered some food as she completed the work she left behind. She was trending on the internet. She was having some good and bad comments but that wasn’t her problem.
.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. She walked to the door and opened it. She thought it was her orders till she saw Ava.
“Uhhh…hey?” She called out. Ava sighed and shoved her aside. She walked into the house and made herself comfortable. Erica was confused, she wondered what Ava was doing here. She closed the door and went into the house.

“Why are you here? I thought you hated me” she asked, folding her arms.

“I never said I did, I just want you to make up your mind” she said, not sparing Erica a glare.

“So? Why are you here?”

“Tracy asked me to help you with everything you need. You are her future daughter in law, she doesn’t want a scratch on your body” Ava rolled her eyes.

“That’s so thoughtful. I know you don’t want to be here, you can leave. I’ll tell her you were here” Erica said, heading towards her laptop. But she stopped when she heard the doorbell. She groaned and walked towards the door. She collected her orders and quickly paid. She walked back to her table and started eating. Ava stole glances from her and looked away, she continued staring at her phone. They were both feeling uncomfortable. Erica was done with her work for today, she closed her laptop and sprung up from the chair.

“Just incase you’ll be sleeping here tonight, the guestroom is that way” she said and walked away. Ava stared at Erica as she walked away. She furrowed her eyebrows.

“There’s something definitely wrong somewhere” she murmured.

THE MAN IN MY DREAMS : CHAPTER 61 – THE END

Erica started the new week, going shopping. Tracy had her do a lot of photoshoots for her pre wedding photos. She wanted to show her friends how beautiful her daughter in law to be is.
.
Three days left to the wedding, Erica was on her way to the wedding gown boutique when Tracy called her.
“Yes ma’am” she said.

“Ava told me about your movement. I already said, I already have your gown ready. It’s flying into the country tomorrow” she said. Erica rolled her eyes and groaned secretly.

“Is that necessary?” She asked.

“Yes Erica, your wedding have to be the talk of the whole country. A lot of business partners, my friends all over the world will be coming. I can’t have you wear that gown in a boutique, everything is ready Erica” Tracy said.

“Okay ma’am” she said and disconnected the call.
“Let’s go home!” She told her driver. She tries learning how to drive but Tracy didn’t let her. She always complain that she could get into an accident.
.
Erica walked into her house and saw Ava on the phone.
“Yeah, she just walked in. Yes ma’am. Okay!” She said and disconnected the call. Erica knew she was talking to Tracy. She walked herself to the chair and sank into the sofa.
.
Erica remembered that she hasn’t spoken to Kelvin since that day he slept in her house. She stared at her phone for some seconds, wanting to call him but she resisted.

“We have to go see the hall for the wedding” Ava walked to her. Erica raised her head to stare at Ava.

“Huh?” She asked.

“You heard me. Let’s go” Ava said and head out. Erica picked her bag and head out of the house. She was already tired of moving about.
It was a long drive to the hall.

“Why is it taking forever to get there?!” Erica asked. Ava stared at her and shook her head. She didn’t have any answer to that question. The driver drove into a huge beautiful compound and pulled over. He alighted and opened the door for them.

A wow escaped from Erica’s mouth. Three days from now she would be getting married right here in this hall.

“Come on in, they are waiting” she said and walked up the stairs, towards the entrance. Erica furrowed her eyebrows, wondering who is waiting. She knew Ava won’t answer her questions so she didn’t bother to ask. She just followed her behind and entered into the hall. It was so big and beautiful. She saw Kelvin and Calvin staring at her as she walked towards them.

“There’s my baby!” Calvin said and walked towards her. He hugged her and kissed her forehead.

“It’s a beautiful hall. I hope it’s not too expensive” she said in a whisper.

“Ten million isn’t expensive for you. You are the one that’s expensive” he said and touched her nose. Erica smiled weirdly.
Ten million is a lot of money.

The owner of the hall walked towards them and greeted.
“Hello!” He waved stylishly. He was an effeminate man. Erica moved back from him. She wondered why he was behaving like a she.

“Hi, this is my fiancee” Calvin introduced Erica.

“Hi Erica, I’m Andrew. Love the hair, it’s beautiful” he said, touching her hair. Erica giggled weirdly and looked away from him.

“Thanks?” She said weirdly.

“In three days time, your father will walk you down the path, leading you to your husband to be. How lucky!” He said and giggled. Erica lowered her gaze sadly. She wished her father was still alive to walk to into the hall. She sniffed in, trying not to cry. She stared at Andrew and curved her lips.

“Umm, why don’t you show me around? Erica, have a seat and rest” Calvin said and walked with Andrew.

“Come guys!” He said and Ava and Kelvin. As Kelvin took a step, his phone rang. He stepped outside and made his call. Erica tried hard not to cry, she was really missing her parents. She wished her brother could attend her wedding also.

“Which way did they go?” Kelvin asked Erica, slipping his phone into his pocket.

“Uh..” she murmured, looking round she wasn’t even looking where they left to.
“I don’t know” she murmured.

Kelvin noticed she was looking dull. He grabbed a chair and sat with her.
“You’ll be getting married to my brother in three days time. Aren’t you the lucky one?” He asked, smirking.

Erica blushed and looked down, she didn’t want to smile.
“I guess so” she said and stared at Kelvin.

“Are you happy with that?” She asked him.

“Want to know the truth?” He asked and she nodded.

“No, no I’m not. If my brother wants you, then he can. I don’t want to ruin his life like I’ve ruined it before” he said.

“I’m sorry Kelvin” she said.

“It’s fine. It’s my fault, I guess” he said and chuckled softly.
Erica touched his hair and ruffled it.

“Good boy” she said.

“I’m not a dog!” He said beating her hands off jokingly. Erica started laughing, not stopping.

“Oh, there he is!” Calvin said, walking towards their table. Erica quickly removed her hand from his hair.
Kelvin stood up and walked to his brother.

“Shall we?” He asked. Calvin nodded and they walked to the other side of the hall.
.
Erica was alone. She stood up and walked round the hall, she stood at the podium.

“Three days from now, I’ll be married. Please, show me the man in my dreams, give me signs. Argh!” She groaned, wondering who she’s talking to. She rolled her eyes and walked away from the podium.

After some hours of checking round the hall, she went back to the house feeling weak. She had her bath and laid on the bed. Ava walked into her room.

“Dinner is ready” she said. Erica stared at her.

“I’m not hungry” she said.

“Okay? Good night!” She said and locked the door.

“I love you” says the man in sparkling white suit. 5,7ft tall, blue eyes and pink lips. Everything about him was just perfect.

“I love you too” that was Erica’s reply. She drew her face closer to him to kss him. That was the moment everyone has been waiting for. They all waited in suspense for everything to happen. She paused and stepped back from him.

“I can’t marry you. I’m sorry” she murmured and ran out of the hall in her flowing white gown. Everyone gasped and stared at Erica as she ran away. The groom also watched his bride slipping from his hand just on the D-Day. The wedding was ruined. The groom was embarrassed, even the whole family.
.
Erica sat up from the bed and touched her head. She was having a slight headache.
“Finally, I’ve seen the complete dream” she murmured. That’s what happens when she gets married to the wrong person, everything will be ruined.

Ava knocked the door and opened it.
“Morning, breakfast is ready” she said.
Erica shook her head again.

“I’m not hungry” she said and looked away from Ava. Ava furrowed her eyebrows and marched into the room. She stood by the bed, staring at Erica.

“What’s wrong with you?” She asked.

“I don’t Ava, just go away” she said, touching her head. Ava placed her hand touching her friend’s forehead.

“You have fever. You need to get better before your wedding. Go to the hospital Erica!” She said and left. Erica rolled her eyes.

“Whatever!” Erica groaned. She hated the hospital but she really needed to take treatment before Tracy finds out. She felt lazy to leave bed.
.
She tried and finally left the bed. She went to the bathroom and had her bath. She was brushing her teeth while staring at her reflection. She felt nausea. She rinsed her mouth and left the bathroom. She wasn’t feeling herself at all.

“I think something is wrong with me” she murmured.
