THREE MONTHS LATER

“ Y ou’re thinking about your dream man again aren’t you?” scolded Mary. “I keep telling you this daydreaming and obsessing about this dream man isn’t healthy. You need to find a man in real life and just get that shit taken care of. Get laid for once and let this dream guy go.”

Delphine smiled back at Mary rolling her eyes at the rant who she had been hearing the same thing from for the last three months.

Delphine had broken down and told Mary she was having sexy dreams every night and that her body was acting like it was truly happening.

The placebo effect was true and she was living proof.

Mary had even been the concerned best friend and set up cameras in Delphine's house to make sure that no one was breaking in and abusing her while she was in her deep sleep.

Mary didn’t know Delphine was slowly falling into insanity though.

Feathers were taking over her every thought.

She was spending every waking moment thinking about just trying to get back to sleep to get more of her loving angel.

The vials of morphine clinked in her bag as they walked out of the hospital, the sweet dreams were waiting for her.

“I promise after tonight I’ll work on getting a real man in my life.” Delphine flashed a small lying smile to Mary as they rode together. “Tonight will be the last night that I let the dream man take over my life. I will go back to listening to you and try to find a man.”

Delphine looked out the window, almost missing Mary’s concerned look she flashed at her best friend.

Delphine looked withdrawn, thin and off compared to the bright, smart and vibrant woman she had gone out with three months ago.

Looking into the side mirror Delphine tucked her hair behind her ear as she thought about all the prepping she needed to do for tonight.

The drive back to her house blew by in a flash as Mary dropped her off.

Shoving a single serving meal into the microwave, Delphine went and showered.

Taking the time to shave her legs, her armpits and her pussy, she was preparing for tonight.

Delphine had learned over the last three nights whatever she looked like or wore to bed was in her dreams that night.

Wanting to feel sexy she got ready. Wearing makeup to bed for one night with her hair curled wouldn’t be the end of the world.

Scarfing down the half warmed meatballs and chugging a pedialyte to fight off the drug hangover she would have in the morning, Delphine got dressed. In a red silk night dress with a slit up to her hips, lace covering her chest and completely backless, she felt sexy. Crawling int o

bed she laid out, pulling her hair around her head in a halo and got the vials ready. Slowly inserting the needle into the vial, Delphine drew the correct dose and stared at the needle.

She had to be crazy looking at the needle.

Never in her 33 years had she ever done drugs or drank every night, yet the last three months she was doing it every night to get back to Malphas and his magical dick.

Shaking her head and muttering “tomorrow is a new day and I will stop after tonight.” She plunged the needle into her arm and delivered the dose.

With the needle out and a band aid covering the drops of blood that oozed from her skin, she laid back and let the fog cover her eyes which pulled her into the darkness.
