Opening her eyes she gasped as she recognised the man in front of her. It was her cousin and best friend Elijah!
"Oh my.." she whispered looking at him. "Is it you.."
"Naah," he denied. "I'm just so pretty that you are dreaming of me even after five years since we last met." He replied sarcastically.
"Shut up!" She hit his shoulder. "come here." She raised her arms and hugged him close and he did, just as tightly.
"I missed you." He said slowly. "So much."
She smiled and replied. "I know, I did too." She tightened her hold on him.
Elijah had been her go-to a friend for everything. They were very close and he was in her maternal side but after the death of her aunt and his mother, his father had moved away for a better job opportunity and which would eventually provide him with a better educational opportunity.
After that, they had gradually fallen out of contact. The time difference and their individual lives had pulled them apart.
