Why Would You Ever Kiss Me?

Who Live, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story

Stiles POV
I wasn't lying completely.
Hero's birthday is soon. About 3 weeks from
now.
But I had called Mr. Stark. He sounded upset that maybe I was implying something or was seeing something.
But he sounded like he wanted me to drop it. It didn't sit right with me.

I mean it's great that physically it's her. But I need it all back, I was selfish that way, it wasn't enough for me.
I couldn't stare at her with knowing all that we were before and keep going without her remembering.
It was only a matter of time.
She needs to know.
She needs to remember.
Remember our story.
Because I can't do it alone.

And when I picked her up and she ran to the jeep like she's done before.
But she doesn't know that.
"Hey so I made a playlist for the drive." She said hopping in.
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah. I went on YouTube and looked at playlists that make you feel like the main
character and put them all together... How longs the drive?"
"Like 5 hours?" I said guessing.
"Oh sweet the playlist is 10 hours and 23 minutes so we got enough for the way back too."
She placed her feet up and the dash and I gasped what I thought was quietly.
"Oh shit I'm sorry." She said taking them down.
"No no no! It's okay I-I-I like I like it." I said wanting her to do it again.

She laughed nervously but didn't put them back up. But if I knew her the way I think, they'll be up again.
"Yes?" She said looking at me sideways and plugging her phone in.
"Missing something?" I asked her smirking.
She slowly put her feet up on the dash again and I rolled my eyes laughing.
I reached over her and grabbed by her right shoulder and pulled the seatbelt across her and buckling it in.
"Bad habit." She said close to my face.
"A terrible one." I responded.
"I'll add it to the list."

I stayed leaned over frozen and hypnotized by the way she looked at me.
Her eyes darted from my lips to my eyes a few times and I knew she wanted to and I wanted her to, maybe she'll remember.
She reached her hand up and her finger touched my cheek.
On the tip of her finger was an eyelash.
"Make a wish." She said softly barely above a whisper.
I blew softly and the wind took it away.

She smiled and I sat back down and we were off. Back to Beacon Hills.
Maybe she'll remember that. The roads and the high school and the street lights that don't work or the smell of the old town.
"So what did you get your friend for his birthday?" She asked.
"It's uh, it's a surprise."
Yup. Hero seeing her would definitely be a surprise.
"You have any brother or sisters?" I asked her trying to get some information.
"Nah. I always wanted them though. I liked the idea of it you know? You?"
"No not really. Scott's like my brother though."
She nodded, "I could see that. You guys always been in school together?"
"Yeah since preschool. What was school like for you?"
"Boarding school." She said clicking her tongue.
"Oh shit. What was that like?"
"Depressing. Annoying."
"What were your parents like?" I was hinting and hinting trying to get something.
She shrugged.
"They worked constantly. I couldn't pick them out in a crowd if I was paid to."
"So what'd you like to do?"
"Drugs." She said giggling and then sighing.
"Is that all you like?" I asked her.

"I like you." She responded.

Of course you do. You don't even just like me you love me admit it! Tell me that you remember digging your nails in my shoulders in the back of your car or your apartment on the Upper East Side and you told me how much you loved me. So that I can tell you how I remember tangling my fingers in your hair and kissed you on your neck and swore that I would never love someone as much as I loved you. Let this conversation happen so I can continue to do that and tell you how special you are to me and that I love you.

"Well I like you too." Was all I said. But I wanted to say so much more.
And I wish that I had kissed her again.
It's been a long 8 months.
Seeing her wasn't enough.
I had this insatiable hunger to love her I craved it. I was addicted.
"Thanks for coming with me." I said after a break of silence.
"I said yes before I could even think." She said laughing. "So I guess if you end up being a psychopath and kill me in a rural area, it's technically my fault for trusting you."
"Well, there goes that plan." I said sarcastically joking with her.
