Never forget you

Chapter 54: Skye

Knight follows me out of the car screaming over the rain. "What the fuck! You just up and leave!"

When he reaches me I push at his chest. "You don't fucking like it now do you?"

I blinks a few times, his anger subsiding as his hands push back his drenched hair. "No. I don't." His eyes meet mine in understanding.

"You think you're the only one who was bombarded with memories? You don't think every time I see Maddie in school it brings up that day? Everything we've been through? All the hurt? You don't think I want to punch her in the face every time that blonde bitch gives me a smirk?"

Knight let's out a sigh as if just realizing my side of everything. As if he didn't even consider what I might have been going through. "Shit." I hear him murmur out.

"Yeah..."

Another sigh before he steps closer to me. His hands reaching out and grazing my arms. "I'm so fucking stupid."

"You think?"

Knight let's out a little chuckle just as a bolt of lightening strikes down from the sky and a loud piercing boom of thunder explodes in our ears.

"Can we have this conversation in the car?"

Without responding I made a mad dash back to the passenger seat. For a second I forgot about the hurricane happening around me. About my fear of the weather.

Shaking his head like a dog, Knight sprays me with water when he gets in the car. I throw my hands up to bloke the spritz before shoving at his shoulder. "Stop that!"

He simply laughs before digging around his backseat for something. Throwing me a random blanket he turns the heat on full blasts and we sit in silence for a few minutes, our shivering bodies hovering closer to the vents to suck up as much as we can.

"So...I'm an idiot." I laugh at his start to the conversation. "But you already know this so can you really hold it against me?"

I snicker, "I can and I will."

He grumbles. "Fine. But babe," he turns in his seat fully to face me and after a sigh I mirror him. Knight grabs my hands in his, his thumb running over my newly tattooed ring finger. "You have to know that I didn't intend to hurt you. I'd never intend to hurt you." I narrow my eyes at him for a moment. Catching on he laughs, rolling his eyes. "Okay, well not anymore. Hello, we already established I'm a fucking idiot. Niko would back up that statement. "

I laugh because it's true. Niko would one hundred percent back up that statement.

"Okay, fine." I roll my eyes giving in.

Knight reached forward, his hands moving to cup my face. He stares me in the eyes so I can see how Ernest he is and my heart clenches at the sight. "I'm sorry."

I nod. "We have to work on our communication if we want this to work."

"I know," he whispers before placing a peck on my lips. I smile at the contact letting out a contented sigh. He just admitted he wants us to work.

I look down at my hands running my
Finger over my new tattoo. Knight notices. "What's it mean?"

I look up and meet his eyes. "The tattoo. What's it mean?"

"You first." I give him a pointed look but he just laughs.

"I already told you."

"Yeah. That I'm supposed to know what SED means....but I don't."

Letting out a small chuckle Knight nods over to my finger again. I roll my eyes. "It's Roman numerals."

"No shit." He deadpans making me laugh. "What are the numbers?"

"Eight, two, six."

"Eight, two, six?"

I nod, smiling at his confusion before caving. "August twenty sixth."

The second the words are out of my mouth knights mouth drops open in a deep laughter. I scowl, torn between hurt and pissed the fuck off.

"Why is that funny?"

"No. No. It's just." He shows me his ring finger tattooed with the word SED and I raise my eyebrow not understanding but then he shows me the other side. The same date written in tiny numbers with stars around it.

My eyes meet his and a slow smile forms on his face.

"Guess that date means something special to both of us, huh?"

I laugh shaking my head. "Well I would hope so. It is the night we lost our virginity to each other and everything went to shit."

"Yeah. Maybe." When I look at him with a raised brow, Knight reaches over. His finger brushing over my eyebrow as he stares deeply into my glistening eyes. "Or maybe it was the night that started it all. The night we'll never forget no matter how hard we try."

"I don't think it's the night I'll never forget. I think it's you." I whisper my eyes still holding his.

Knight cups my cheeks once more, leaning in to capture my lips. "Back at you, baby. No matter how hard you try you're unforgettable Skye Elizabeth Davis."

I smile against his lips but then it hits me. I pull back in shock and nearly bang my head on the window. "I'm so goddamn stupid."

Knight laughs. "What?"

"SED...Skye Elizabeth Davis." Knight smirks. "You got my freaking initials on your ring finger!"

"Mhmm," he says as he turns in the seat and starts up the car waiting for me to buckle up before he continues. "And it'll stay there forever just like the ring."

"What ring?"

"The one I'll eventually wear when we're married."

I let out a laugh. Not because I think the idea of us getting married is funny but because I'm so elated that he knows neither of us is going anywhere now. But it doesn't hurt to make him sweat a little.

"Nah. You won't be wearing a ring from me."

Knights head swings over before looking back at the road. The terror I felt earlier from the storm now subsiding. Knight just being near me now makes me feel safe but I won't lie and say the distraction isn't helping. He doesn't say a word so I turn giving him a wicked grin.

"I'm thinking more along the lines of tattoos. That way we don't have to worry about losing them in the garage we're going to own."

Knight smiles so big it takes up his entire face. "My little Skye light, I love the way you think."

"Good. Now skip the tacos and take me home so we can celebrate properly."

Knight laughs and my body fills with heat at the sound. To think we wasted so much time hating each other-fighting each other- when we could have been together all along. I look out of the window watching the rain come down. I can see it; our future. And I'm so fucking ready for it.

The End.
