Dream
I dreamt about my old boss.
We had a shared friend and they wanted to have dinner but wanted me there as a buffer to keep the conversation going. My friend made me stop at their house first to help her get ready, then insisted we drive over together. The dinner itself went okay, we just hung out at his house. Then she started getting kind of crazy. Making side comments and twitching. I think she threw something of mine in his room and I was forced to go get it, and I found a weird ring buried in the carpet by the wall. I dug it out and brought it back to him. It looked feminine but I wasn't sure so I just handed it to him. He handed it to our friend, who hadn't been in his room, and it clicked for me that they had slept together before. She started freaking out because he didn't say it out loud. Like, CRAZY freaking out. Mascara running down her face crying, messing up her already super short hair, throwing and breaking things, screaming. Because she wanted something serious and he didn't. I tried to stay calm, but she brought up some stuff to me about how she got an ex of mine to cheat with her and tried with another that turned her down. How guys had crushes on me and she would sleep with them to get them to ignore me again, like she had with this boss. On and on about all this awful stuff she did. Eventually my calmness wasn't getting through and I snapped. My boss had already told her to get out of his house and she wasn't listening and her blatant disrespect flipped a switch in me. I started yelling back, but not uncontrollable screaming. It was a deep commanding voice that I'd never used on her and she wavered, but still wouldn't leave without me since we'd come together. I tricked her into thinking I was going, and then shut and locked the door on her. It was awkward for my ex-boss and I since she was still pounding on the door screaming and I was now locked in his house with him after she confessed he liked me, but I wasn't going anywhere near her. He called the cops to arrest her for trespassing and destruction of property. It was really cold out but I had to walk back to my car. He offered me a ride and I declined, so he walked with me instead. It was kind of nice to talk with him like that on the way home.
