[ WP ] You possess the ability of persistent lucid dreaming . Accompanied by a strange man/woman , together you build a world you revisit every night . One day you see them at a coffee shop . You immediately recognize each other .

Time. That's the magazine she was reading, I think. Picture of some actor, I can never remember his name, on the front. Funny how little things will stick in your memory. She looked up. The recognition in her eyes was almost painful, like it scared her. Hell, it scared me! 
 
 See, I always figured she was a figment of my imagination. She showed up months ago in my dreams. Every night, we would meet and fly and create, gods of our own little world. I never even asked her for her name, but we had an understanding. 
 
 It was an ongoing utopia in which we could do whatever we wanted. We created kingdoms and cities, mountains and valleys, towers and castles and mansions, whatever we desired. We lived years of life in an instant and, when we became bored, we started new lives. 
 
 It's been the best few months of my life in our world. I've never felt so alive. Not only do I have the ability to create and master whatever I desire, but I share this incredible world with the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. 
 
 Of course now I'm hiding. Ran like the coward I am. I suppose this is why I do n't like real life as much as my dreams. There I'm a god of nature and reality. Here I'm a skinny nerd with bad social anxiety. 
 
 I ca n't let her see me like this. Ca n't let her see my weakness. She'd hate me. She'd never want to see me again. Worse yet, she might laugh at me in our world. Our perfect world. No. I wo n't. I ca n't. I just have to hope she forgets today. 
 
 I'm just going to pretend this never happened. Take care of my business and go home. Tonight I'll see her in our world again and I'll make her forget she ever saw me here. 
 
 I have to keep my mind off it. For now, I'll focus on getting that damn beeping out of my he... oh.

 Hello! I'm JP_Michael and this is my first /r/writingprompts response! I'm hoping to do a lot of these in the future. Any criticism is welcome of course, especially since I'm very much beginning at this. Also any advice on formatting would be helpful as I'm pretty bad at it myself. 
 
 Thanks and I hope you enjoyed the story!
