Wish Granted

It's night-time again, were in our own rooms again and I'm lying on my bed while scrolling down on my phone. I'm getting sick and tired of this routine every single day. Nothing good comes up. There are few but it was used against me. Sigh. Please help me out here universe.

"Ella, your phone."

Said mother as soon as she opens the door of my room. I quickly shutdown my phone, gets up from my bed, walk towards mother and gave her my phone. She grabs it from me and left without saying anything. Doesn't even shut the door.

I would like to tell you, mother, father, that I am an eighteen-year-old and I am at a legal age. Why can't you just see me like an adult? I can take care of myself when I am alone. I am a growing woman now so please! Please! Let me have my privacy and let me do the things I love!

Sigh. It's useless saying all that. They won't gone hear it to me anyways. I closed the door, walks back to my bed and lay down there. How come I'm so sleepy tonight? I wasn't like this last night or the other nights. Should I get my other phone? Nah. I'm too sleepy to get up again. I should just sleep for tonight.

"Ella~ Ella, wake up~"

Said someone with a gentle voice to me, making me slowly open my eyes, felt a nice pillow under my head and saw a face of a guy. He has straight long hair, he has thick lips but not too thick, just the right amount of thickness, his eyebrows are also thick but well-shaped, and his eyes… oh god his eyes… his pitch-black eyes where you can get lost and find yourself at the same time while looking at them…

"Hi, Ella."

Said the guy with a gentle voice as soon as our eyes met. His smile… damn… I would do anything just to see that smile. Wait, what? I don't even know who he is! I quickly get up and crawl away from him. What? Grass? A tree? What place is this?

"Wh-who are you!? Wh-where am I?! How did I end up here!?"

I asked while I'm panicking on the inside. Holy crap! Am I dead!? All I remember is that I slept on my bed then here I am!

"Oh, right. I forgot to introduce myself."

Said the guy then stood up from being sited on the ground. Okay, so the pillow under my head earlier was… was his thigh!? That's some comfortable thigh right there! Wow!

"I'm Leigh and I'll stay with you here in your dreams starting tonight. I'm still a newbie in this job of mine, so I would love it if you'll be patient with me in the near future."

Answered the guy who called himself 'Leigh' to my questions while he's still standing. What?! He's still a newbie in this job!?

"Wh-wh-what are you talking about? What job? And how old are you?"

I asked him again as I stood up, too. I am so confused right now.

"You're asleep in the real world and this world is in your dreams. My agency heard your cries and sent me to help you escape from your reality starting tonight. I am a… what do you call it? Oh, yeah. I am a dream agent. I only turned twenty last April. How about you? How old are you, Ella?"

Answered Leigh to my questions and asked me back. I looked him from head to toes and looks back at his face. Should I trust this guy?

"I-I'm turning nineteen this coming September."

I answered to Leigh as I continue to look at him with a trace of distrust on my face. He quickly raised both his eyebrows while still looking at me. What's with his reaction?

"Glad there's only one year difference between us~!"

Said Leigh as he suddenly walk closer to me, making me step backward. He quickly stopped and smile at me softly. How… why… what kind of spell does his smile has to make me feel at ease this instance?

"Don't worry. I won't harm you, Ella."

Said Leigh as he continues to smile at me. Even the way he calls my name… I never liked how people call me with that name, but when he say my name… I am so happy that's my name.

"O-okay…"

I replied to Leigh as I continue to look at him but with ease this time. Leigh continued to smile at me as he now walks slowly towards me.

"What is the first task that you want me to accomplish for you, my lady?"

Asked Leigh to me when he stand in front of me while still showing his soft smile. Oh, that smile… wait. Did he just said 'task' and 'accomplish'?

"Wait, wait, wait, wait. So you're really treating me like I'm your job?"

I asked Leigh as I crossed my arms and raises and eyebrow while still looking at him.

"What?! No, no! Of course not, Ella!"

Denied Leigh in between his laughter. Damn… Ella, stop.

"Then what's with the term 'task' and 'accomplish', huh?"

I asked as I continue to cross my arms then looks at Leigh from head to toes again.

"Did I said that? Wh-what I meant was uhm… what I meant was… was uhh…"

Did I just caught him off guard? I just caught him off guard. I just caught Leigh off guard! Oh my! He's so adorable! Seeing Leigh act like that, I can't stop myself from giggling and uncrossed my arms to cover my mouth with my hand.

"What…? Why are you giggling, Ella?"

Asked Leigh as he now looks at me with a trace of confusion on his face.

"It's just that you look adorable when I caught you off guard, Leigh."

I answered to Leigh as I now remove my hand from my mouth then smile at him, making him raise both his eyebrows again.

"D-did you just say my name? Leigh? Did I heard you right, Ella?"

Asked Leigh again as his lips form a huge smile. Did I just call him his name?

"Wh-what? N-no! I forgot your name earlier. I-is Leigh your name?"

I denied as I cross my arms again, making him giggle too. I have a feeling that we'll get along with each other.

This is the best night I've ever had!
