Cautious Love

I opened my eyes, and sat up more. She looked sad.. but I wasnt sure if I knew how to do anything about it. "Are you okay?" I asked her.

"Yeah." I lied. "I'm fine." I changed the channel on the TV and turned it up, wrapping my arms around my knees and hugging them to my chest.

"Youre lying." I said softly. "What.. would I normally do to make you feel better?" I asked, .. maybe it would help me remembering things.

"Nothing can make me feel better about this." I said softly. I sighed. "Here. I'll put on a movie. It'll pass the time."

"Im sorry.." I said. "I guess I should have been more careful on the stairs." I said softly, watching the movie. We did this for hours and hours, untill it was finally time for me to sleep.. "Can.. you show me where my room is?"

"Yeah.." I answered, standing up. I led him to his room and opened the door for him. ".... Goodnight." I said softly. Hopefully some sleep will help him..

"Thanks.." I said softly, and when she left I changed into pajamas, and I laid down, looking over at a picture on the nightstand of her and I.
I wanted nothing more in the world than to remember.

I woke up the next morning, hoping it was all a dream. But it wasn't. It's real. Angus doesn't remember me. I sat up and ran my fingers through my untidy curly hair. At least he doesn't remember the horrors of his past..

I was up, making breakfast. That was one thing.I remembered very well. That's good, right?.. I put the bacon in the pan, and I looked up once I heard the stairs creaking. "Hey.. hope you like bacon." I said.

A small smile flickered on my lips. "Yeah.. I do." I answered. As we ate breakfast, I tried to think of ways to get him to remember. Old pictures and videos perhaps?

"Do.. you know where my parents are?" I asked her, taking a bite. I couldn't remember what happened to them, or anything else!

I frowned and looked up at him. "I don't know where your father is.. But your mother is dead." I said softly.

I dropped my fork.. did I hear her right?.. I stared at her fir a few moments.. I then just nodded, and I slipped my dish in the sink.. then I went back to my room, and flopped onto the bed..

I felt bad for saying it like that.. But I wasn't going to lie. And you can't sugarcoat something like that. I finished my food and I washed up and went to my room. I found old videos and photo albums and I knocked on his door before entering. "Here.. Look through these."

I sat up and looked at her, and I took the album slowly, and opened it, the first photo making me smile. We both were covered in mud, and we had numbers on us, must have been doing a race.. then the memory came back for that day.. I was surprised, and I looked at all the other photos, the memories flooding in like crazy.. then I looked up at her, and I slowly took her hand.. the memories if everything recent with her came back.. "Astoria..."

I looked down at our hands, then into his eyes. "Yes?" I breathed. My heart was pounding like crazy.

I smiled, and I leaned in and kissed her, pulling her light frame into my lap, the kiss growing passionate..

I was surprised, but I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back deeply, feeling relieved. He remembers.. Thank god..

I slowly pulled away and smiled at her. "Im back, everything is back," I said, and I hugged her to me, happily..

I grinned and buried my face in his neck. "I'm so glad.." I breathed, closing my eyes. "Don't you ever scare me like that again."

"Im so sorry.." I said, rubbing her back softly. "Those freaking stairs are so steep." I said, chuckling softly.

"Just be careful for now on.. It could have been your neck.." I mumbled, hugging him tighter.

"But it wasnt." I said, and I rubbed her back. "I think it hurt my leg even more." I said, messing with the bands with my free hand, I couldnt go to work for a long while. I worked at a tattoo shop, I just drew up designs.

"Do you wanna go to the doctor to get it checked?" I asked, looking into his eyes.

She knew I was stubborn when it came to doctors. I right away shook my head. "Nope. Im done with doctors for a while." I said, and I kissed her nose. "Im going to take a shower. Want to join?.." I asked her.

I chuckled and bit my lip. "Maybe.. Do you want me to come?" I asked.

"Of course I do.." I said. "C'mon.." I said, stangin, but still holding onto her, her legs around my waist, my hands on her behind. We havent done anything 'fun' in about a month now. Once in the bathroom, I set her on the counter, and I kissed her neck softly.

I smiled and closed my eyes, running my fingers through his soft hair. I tilted his chin up and kissed his lips softly.

I kissed her back lovingly, slowly taking the clip out of her bangs, and setting it down, her curly hair once more free. I pulled away for a moment to take my shirt off, then I went right back to kissing her.

I ran my hands up and down his toned arms, deepening the kiss. God.. He makes my heart race.
