Dreams of a Forbidden Attraction: A Young Man's Journey to Uncover the Secrets of His Past

“Again I'm having the same dream” I thought to myself. It's always the same cold and dreary room. At first it always seems pitch black but thanks to a few small candles lights around the room I could see into the next room. In the next room there is always a red sofa where a strange woman awaits for my company. I can't hear her voice but somehow I know she’s calling for me. As I get out of bed to come to her I feel the same sharp pain in my eyes. I never stop moving no matter how intense the pain gets as almost if my body were possessed. The burning candles were drawing me closer to her with every step, like a moth I was attracted to the flames in the other room. When I finally reach the sofa my heart starts thumping wildly like a horse on an open field. Again she signals me to sit down next to her. The mysterious woman does nothing more or nothing less. And in reply to her soundless motions I take my seat next to her. As I sit down next to her she lets off an odd yet luscious smell that could hypnotize even the holiest of men. It's always chilling how beautiful this woman is, as if she wasn't from this world. Her eyes are dark crimson red but always give off this gentle feeling. That always makes me fall in love with her in an instant. While looking towards me she always plays with her silk like long black hair. After staring deeply into my eyes, she finally begins to talk but I hear no sound. I’m only able to faintly understand one sentence. “You have come to age.” She looks at me with a bright smile, because I was able to understand what she was trying so say. Then as she begins to lean over to me I always wake up in cold sweat gripping on the only thing I ever received from a father I’ve never met.

It's nothing new to me. I've been having same dream ever since my 18th birthday. At first it was only happening once a week, but now it’s happening every night. “Shit! I’m going to be late.” I shouted after looking at the time on my IPhone. You see today is the first day of the 19 years I've spent on this planet that I will be living alone. Well with my best friend.
“Jaden, come downstairs right now.” My mom shouted from down stairs.
“I'm coming mom.” I said in a nonchalant tone.
You see my mother has always raised me by herself ever since the day I was born. So I was pretty much her baby but recently she got married to my step dad John. He's a nice guy, but lately it seemed like my mother has been acting like a stranger. So I saved up the money that I earned during the summer to rent an apartment with my best friend. “What is it mom? I'm trying to pack before Noah gets here.” Trying to make up excuse to avoid my mother from seeing my hard on.
“Oh honey let him be, he's a growing boy. “John said laughing while drink his morning red bull.
“But John, it’s not going to be the same without Jaden in the house. What am I going to do without my baby boy? “My mom said with a sad expression on her face.
“Ha-ha don't worry I'll keep you busy long enough. With that tight ass of yours I'm sure I can think of a few things.” He said while groping her ass.
“You guys need to get a room already.” I said with a disgusted look on my face. My mom was about to say something but my cell phone interrupted her. It was Noah!
“You’re outside! Hell yeah I’m coming! Give me ten minutes!” I hung up the phone and with that I packed up rest of clothes and said goodbye to the house I've spent my whole life in.


After a 2 hour car drive we finally reach our apartment in Huston Texas. “We’re finally free from rules Noah. From this moment on we’re bachelors, who live on the wild side!” The words just left my mouth. I couldn't wait to meet girls and go to clubs. All my life I had to go to an all-boys school but now I’m free to make my own choices in life.
“Um Jaden, buddy I have to tell you something before we go up to your apartment.” He said looking worried about something. I didn't really pay him any mind and just ran up the stairs. All that was going through my mind was I'm free.
When I got up the stairs the door was already unlock. I went in without giving it a second thought. To my surprise there was a naked girl with pink hair. “Noah!” I barked after seeing a real girl naked for the first time who wasn’t my mother. With his head low Noah said “Jaden I guess you met Amanda already?”
“What the fuck! Bro what the hell is this? I thought it was going to be me and you until we got girlfriends! “I exclaimed furiously.
“I was going to tell you during the car ride but you seemed so happy. You see I met this girl last week and we decided to move in together. Look I know you’re mad but that girl has nowhere to go and I figured since you can't pay the rent by yourself she could help you.” He said passing me my book bag.
“I don't even know who she is. My mother would kill me if she finds out I lied to her and that I'm living with a girl.”
Noah then smiled and said. “You do know her, her name is Amanda and she's single.” he said while walking towards his car.

After standing outside my apartment for a while, the door opened. “So are you going to stand outside or come in?” The girl with pink colored hair said. I walked into the apartment not looking her in the eyes. “So I take it you already know we're going to be living together? If you feel uncomfortable I'll leave.” I said trying to stay calm.
She grabs my face and said. “You know you’re not bad as bad looking as I thought you were going to be. “When Ashley (Noah girlfriend) said she knew a guy I could move in with, to be honest I thought you were going to be ugly. But you’re kind of cute especially with your crimson red eyes, and short jet black hair.”
“What are you talking about my eyes are green. Where is the bathroom? I'll show you that you’re wrong.”
She pointed to the left door at
