When We Meet Again.

Chapter 8: Alek

My eyes flutter open and I see a weird room around me. It is white and nothing like a home. I feel a warm hand holding mine and I look over. I see Amry and Amora sleeping in the chair beside me. My memory returns slowly. I remember driving to town to get supplies for dinner with the girl I love and my sister. Then the next thing I know another truck is driving into me. Plowing me over to the side while the truck goes off the road farther ahead. I hoped I would survive and my truck would be strong enough to withstand all the rolling it was doing. I hadn't done much of anything I wanted to do with her. She was so gorgeous and kind. Those kisses today were amazing and she forgave me for what I said to her. My baby sister was with her and my parents were overseas bound by contract to help those people. Time slowed down as my truck rolled over and over. I hear a loud crack and glass falls from the roof window. Luckily I closed my eyes but I could feel it falling over my face. My body was hanging and being tossed in place, held in by the seat belt. Then silence fell and my truck stopped rolling.

The silence didn't last too long because of the sound of a diesel truck coming straight towards me. I scrambled to unbuckle but the truck engine was shut off. My door is pulled open, "Alek, what happened? We need to get you to the hospital." Chief. I sigh in relief. He grabs me from under the shoulders and pulls me out. The engine starts to click and he rushes dragging me away. He gently folds me into the passenger seat, buckles me in and hops in his side. He hurries away from my truck. As we almost got to the road, a loud boom exploded from behind us. I can hear Chief talking to people as I fade in and out of consciousness. I faintly hear him say Amry's name. "Amry, I want to talk to her. Tell her I love her." I blurt out before I lose consciousness.

That is all I remember. I squeeze Amry's hand and she slowly wakes up. She blinks her eyes a few times and looks down at Amora on her chest. She readjusts the blanket draped over Amora before looking at me. She squeezes my hand back, "Hi, How do you feel?" I look over at her, "Like I got hit by a semi." She grimaces, "I saw your truck on our way into here. Amora asked if it was your truck. I told her it wasn't. I also told her that you were doing something silly and got hurt. I have yet to call your mom though." I squeeze her hand and blurt out, "I love you. When the truck was rolling over all I could think about was how beautiful you were, how much I love you and Amora."

She tightens her hold on my hand, "I'd give you a hug but I have a sleeping girl on me." We both look at Amora, "Is she bothering you?" She shakes her head no, "She probably will be waking up soon. We fall silent and continue to hold hands until Amora stirs. "Hi, sweetie." Amry greets her, "How's bubba?" Amora says while rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "You can talk to bubba right now." Her being so motherly to my sister makes me feel so warm inside. I really like it. The next thing I know both of my girls are staring at me. "Hi." Amora says, "You can sit by him but you have to be very careful. Remember how I told you he was being silly and got hurt?" Amry tells her. She nods and Amry carefully sets her by me. Amora just snuggles into me and I ask Amry if she can find my phone and call my aunt.

After she calls my aunt, Amry tells me that she will take Amora till I am better. There is only one day that she won't be able to have Amora. Amry agreed to take her that day before I could stop her. After she hangs up, she sits my phone on the windowsill and sits in the chair. Her face molds into a grimace as she leans against the chair. I look at her in concern and she catches me. "Come here." I open my other arm and she looks at me. She sighs and lays down beside me on the bed. I wake up to the nurse knocking on the door. "They have your discharge papers ready and your aunt is here." My aunt pops up behind the nurse. Hi, Alek. I'm going to take Amora now. Then sign your discharge papers."I nod and point to the chair with Amora's stuff. "Her stuff is over there."

Amora wakes up at her aunt's voice. "Aunty!!" She exclaims loudly. "Shh Amora. Amry still is sleeping." She looks over at Amry who is sleeping with her head on my chest. "Tell her I said bye for me." Not long after they leave, the beauty on my chest awakens. She sits up and looks over me. "Where is Amora?" She looks around the room for her. "My aunt came by to pick her up and sign my discharge papers." She nods and stands up, gathering her stuff. I move my legs over the bed and prepare to stand. When I do, I come behind Amry and give her a hug. "Ready to go?" She says after turning her head to look at me. "More than ever." She nods and says let's go. "Amora wanted me to tell you bye for her." I tell her as I connect our hands.

The ride home goes by quickly. I see a tow truck pulling out a black truck on our way out of town. "Is that my truck?" Amry looking at me just tells me that it is. "They are taking it to my house." She pats my hand and gets back to driving. The rest of the drive goes by in a blur and the next thing I know Amry is at the passenger seat. She moves back to leave enough room for me to slide out and when I do, I wrap my arms around her. "Do you want to come with me to feed the horses?" I nod and she leads me into the barn. Her horses whinny as us. I am sure they are glad to see her. We feed the horses and go into the house. "So, do you want to rest in bed for a little bit?" She asks me and I nod. "With you, of course." She takes my hand and leads me to her room. She helps me in bed before laying beside me. "Could you take off my shirt and pants, please." I ask Amry and she shrugs before reaching for my belt buckle. She loosens the belt before pulling it out of the belt loops. She then reaches for my shirt and pulls it from my jeans. Her soft and warm fingers brush against my six pack before briefly brushing over my chest muscles. The world goes dark briefly as she pulls it over my head and discards the shirt in a pile on the floor. She then moves her fingers down my torso to my belt loops before looking at me. She slowly pulls down my pants, revealing my black boxers and muscular legs. She adds my pants to the pile on the floor before laying on the bed beside me. I stretch out my arm and she rests her head on it. I doze off to her sweet smell and warm body.

I wake up to hair tickling my nose and the smell of lavender filling my nose. Amry is pressed against me, and my arm is around her waist. Her smooth and bare legs lay intertwined with mine. I see moonlight beaming in from the window and look at her clock on the nightstand. Eleven at night. I lay beside Amry again before falling asleep again. When I wake in the morning, Amry is not beside me. In place of her smell, the smell of bacon and eggs dominate the house. I look over to see it is just six now and I stand up before pulling on pants. As I head down the hallway, I see multiple pictures of her family and her. Her on a pony as a little girl, her and I, family pictures and with her parents. As I get closer to the stairs, the lovely smell gets stronger. When I get to the bottom of the stairs, I see something I like very much. Amry. She is standing in front of the stove in my shirt. Her blonde hair trails down her back to the small of her back. Her shorts just barely poke out from under my shirt. Her smooth and tan legs lead to fuzzy blue slippers.

"This is a sight I'd like to see every morning." My voice echoes above the sound of sizzling bacon. "You'd get to see more if you'd come in and stop spending time at the doorway like you have for the last six minutes." I head to the table and sit down. "You're quite observant, aren't you?" She turns to look over her shoulder at me, "When the house is old and creaky, it's hard not to hear the creaking from my room to the stairs." I hmm in response and she continues cooking. When she is done, she puts the food on plates and brings it over to the table. "After we eat, I have to go take care of my horses. You can join me or stay in here. Would you want to watch me train horses?" I nod, "Sure." I move my leg to touch her leg and she kicks my leg. She glares at me across the table. "Really? Are you a child?" I smirk and say, "You know it, baby." She scowls even more and continues to eat.
