Remember Me, Darling

Remember Me, Darling(18)

Chapter 18

*Van POV*

"Van? Is that you?"

"Uh, yeah"

"What's going on? I thought I heard some yelling.."

"Oh, no. I saw a spider in the garage and I got really scared."

"You're such a baby, Van Johnson!"

"So are you, Veronica LeRoy!"

I was chasing her around the house now. Seriously, CHASING her.

"VERONICA, GET BACK HERE."

"ONLY IF YOU CAN CATCH ME."

"I'M TRYING!"

"WOW JOHNSON YOU'RE SLOW."

"VERONICA, NO DON'T DO IT."

The chase had led outside and she was running towards the pool. It was November and it was rather warm. It was 70 and apparently, that's warm enough to jump into a pool.

"Aaaaaaaand, you did it."

"What's the matter, Johnson? Too scared to get in?"

"No, I just don't feel like getting pneumonia today."

I didn't want to stand anymore so I went and sat at the edge of the pool.

"Hey, you don't know pneumonia until you've lived in Chicago during winter!"

"You're forgetting that I grew up in New York, where the winters are two times as worse as your 'Windy City'."

"Did I just hear someone diss my hometown? The Chi?"

"Possibly."

"WHY YOU-"

Before I could stop her, she grabbed me from my shoulders and dragged me into the pool. I had Adidas sweatpants on and a white V-neck t shirt on with some old pair of tennis shoes. And now I'm all soaked.

"VERONICA IM GONNA KILL YOU!"

"IM SURE YOU ARE."

She grabbed my head and stuck it underwater!

"Did you just try to kill me?"

"Yeah."

"Wow, you wouldn't make a good killer."

"YEAH, WE KNOW."

"Oh, do we now?"

We rather close to each other, she was leaning up against the pool wall and I was standing over her.

"Ye-yes we do."

"Oh, are you cold now?"

"N-n-no."

"I'll go get us towels."

"Th-th-thank y-you."

I grabbed her a Peter Pan towel and I grabbed myself a PowerPuff Girls one. Obviously.

I made us both hot chocolate and mac'n'cheese. She threw on a pair of my sweats(that were dry) and a white daigo tank top of hers.

We decided to watch a movie. She wanted to watch Cinderella, but I wanted to watch Beauty and a Beast. I mean, c'mon, Beauty and a Beast is the best Disney film EVER.

"Van, you're such a girl."

"You know, that may be true, but what I do know is is that we're watching Beauty and a Beast."

"No, Cinderella!"

"No, Beauty and a Beast. Final answer."

"Cinderella."

"Beauty and a Beast."

"CINDERELLA."

"BEAUTY. AND. A. BEAST."

"CINDERELLA"

"BEAUTY AND A BEAST"

"CINDERELLA"

"BEAUTY"

"CINDERELLA"

"BEAUTY"

"BEAUTY"

"Well, if you insist. You know, you suck at trying to fake me out. Oh, and stop pouting. It makes you look very unattractive."

"I refuse to watch this."

"Refuse all you want, but you're staying right here and watching this."

"No!"

"Not this time!"

She tried to get up and run away, but I caught her around her waist and spun her around. She was beautiful. With AND without make up. Even when she pouted. It's terrible that I, yet again, need to cover up my feelings for her.

"Fi-fine. I'll watch it."

"Thanks babe!"

*

*Veronica POV*

Ok, I need to admit, I really like Beauty and a Beast. But I didn't want to let Van get the joy of

Winning! Well, I guess that wouldn't be fair since I dragged him into the pool today... Whatever. Oh my god.

"Van, did I miss Thanksgiving?"

It took him a few minutes for him to process that I even said something because it was at a good part in the movie and because he was trying to press pause.

"What?"

"Did I miss thanksgiving?"

"Well, yeah.."

"So, the only holiday we get to spend together this year is Christmas?..."

"I guess so.."

"Well, that's ok. I'd rather spend one holiday with you than none. And it's your favorite holiday!"

"Veronica."

"What?"

"You remembered."

"Huh?"

"I never told you my favorite holiday was christmas. You remembered!"

"OH MY GOD I DID"

"It's coming back, baby, it's coming back!"

"I know, I know! Now unpause the movie!"

"Oh, so you do like?"

"Shut up and turn it on."

I'm so happy I'm remembering things! I'm scared, too, though. What if there are things I don't want to remember? Or things that I do want to remember, but they'll hurt me if I do? I don't know, maybe I'm reading too much into it.

Or, maybe I'm not.
