It began when I made her clothes disappear

Dream Maker?

He glanced back over his shoulder toward the bar, and there was the redhead, staring at me with a smoldering gaze. It was a pointedly focused stare. She wanted me to notice her noticing me.

“Is that redhead one of them?” I asked, getting a laugh from him.

“Oh yes,” he said. “She is...definitely far and away the most easily noticed, though she's not the only one.”

“Invite her here,” I said, then I inclined my head slightly and gestured to her as well.

She sauntered over and slid into the seat across from me, smiling and keeping her eyes locked on mine the whole time.

“Lorelei,” she said, extending her hand delicately to me.”Though my friends call me Lori.”

“Joseph,” I said, feeling almost foolish-I NEVER went by Joseph. I hadn't since..well, ever. It WAS my legal name though, and it sounded more..important. “But my friends call me Joey.” I kissed her fingers, and her eyes twinkled appreciatively.

“So...your friend,” she said, immediately breaching the conversation with what was on her mind, “That WAS Mistress Haley, wasn't it?”

I nodded in response. “Yes. The one and only. We've been friends a long time,” I told her. Truthfully, we had.

“So you're the guy they call the dream maker?” she said eagerly.

“Excuse me?” I asked. I was confused. What was this dream maker nonsense?

“Her song..the one about a lover..there's no WAY you haven't heard it..it was the first single on the album. It's all over the radio. About the guy who used magic to make her dreams come true,” Lorelei told me.

I was stunned. I concentrated for a moment, and the song formed in my head as I remembered it..this had happened in the past as I'd changed it. I'd lived it, but of course, due to competing timelines, I had to concentrate on what I SHOULD know, vs. what I'd made, or what was. And yeah, she wasn't kidding. “Dream Maker” was an instant hit-a poppy love song that was layered with lyrics that clearly referred to me and what we'd done, what I'd done. It even had the chorus of “Wish me another dream with you tonight.”

I was feeling rather self-conscious, all the moreso because Lorelei was clearly waiting on confirmation and here I was looking rather overwhelmed.

“Yeah,” I said with a smile, realizing that Haley actually WAS in some form of love with me, despite her pretty much iron-clad assumption that she was a lesbian. Hell, we both kind of had assumed she was a lesbian-I'd never questioned it, and neither had she-until the wish, and when we'd had spontaneous sex together.

“So ARE you magic, Dream Maker Joey?” she asked, smiling at me.
A knot hit my stomach. I couldn't help but feel like perhaps I was being used. I should probably get used to it, I realized. Simply by proxy of being one of Haley's friends, I was peripherally famous. I realized by the way the staff of the restaurant treated me and the way that the paparazzi acted, I was a common sight on her arm. This sort of status meant that not everyone I would meet was as genuine as when I'd been a rather inconspicuous guy with little to offer.

“I'm not going to make you famous,” I said quietly.

“I didn't ask you to,” she replied.

“You clearly look like someone who wants something, though,” I replied, mildly surly.

“You never answered the question,” she said. “Are you magic?”

“If I am, would that change your interest in being at my table?”
