Illusions Chapter 10

Chapter 10

Two days later they held a memorial service for Bo. Nora was in a daze the entire time. So many people came up to her with condolences, many hugging her and trying to offer helping words. By the end she didn’t want anyone to touch ever again. She was very thankful for her family, Rachel and Asa were especially helpful for her. Drew was withdrawn, she could tell he wasn’t sure where he belong in this.  After the service they went to Viki’s who offered dinner.

“Mom you need to eat.”

Nora looked at the plate Rachel was offering.

“I am not hungry honey.”

“Mom you haven’t eaten all day. I don’t want you to get sick. Please?”
Nora looked into her daughter’s eyes they were pleading with her. She sighed and nodded. Rachel smiled with relief. Nora took the plate and ate what was on it. Asa came over with a bourbon and gave it to her.

“You need a few after today.”
Nora didn’t argue she drank it, then a few more. It didn’t take long for her to feel the affects.

“Mom you ready to go home.”
“No, but we should.”
Rachel took her hands. Nora stumbled a bit.

“Sorry honey, Asa gave me some very strong Bourbon.”

“It’s okay mom, you need it.”
Drew came over and helped Nora to the car.

They got home. Nora was really surprised how much the bourbon was hitting her. Rachel and Drew helped her upstairs. They started to guide her to her and Bo’s bedroom.

“No, I can’t sleep in there.”
Rachel nodded and guided her to the guest room. Rachel helped her change then put her in bed. Kissing her mother’s forehead. Nora fell asleep right away.

Nora woke up crying. Her heart was in such pain. She felt a hand run down her arm. She looked over.

“Bo?”
“Hey.”
“How?
“Just need to see you.”
Nora was confused then she realized this must be a dream.

“I miss you. Why did you leave me?”
Bo didn’t say anything he ran his hand down her body then kissed her. Nora gasped. Bo pushed her down on the bed. She pulled back running her hands down his face. This dream felt so real.

“I love you.”
He kissed her again and began undressing her. Her dream soon became erotic, intense, and so vivid. She made love to her husband in her dreams, she felt her heart break realizing this would be the only place where she ever could again.
