Remember December

Chapter:17

I shriek as I fell off the surfboard again.

Eric laugh. "Are you sure you've surf before?"

I scoff and splash water on him. "Of course you taught me in the past"

He grin. "Well I didn't teach you good enough, you have no balance"

I roll my eyes as I sat on the board. "Fine then you show me"

He grin and start to paddle. My jaw drop as he didn't fall off his board and surf the waves. I frown as he paddle back to me. "Did you learn anything?" he ask me.

"Yeah that I can't surf for shit" I mutter.

He laugh. "That's not what you said last time remember when I suggested we surf together"

I smile. "Yeah and you show off your skills on the water"

He chuckle. "When you almost drown"

I frown as the mood turn sour.

"Come on let's give it a go" he said.

"Only If you surf with me" I said.

He climb on. "I won't let you fall"

I shiver as I felt his chest against my back.

My heart race as I saw the wave rising. I listen to Eric instruction so we won't get wiped out. I gasp as the exit was diminishing.

"Eric-

The ocean wave hit us as we splash into the ocean. I look around for Eric, Only to realize he is holding my hand. He point his finger up and I nod. We swam upward to the shore.

He frown as he place his hands on my cheeks. "Are you okay? You're not hurt right"

I smile. "I'm fine"

I froze as he swam closer to me. "Are you sure?"

He reach his hand over to my cheek. "Are you hungry?"

My eyes lower down to his lips.

"There a great burger shack down the street" he said.

I look up. "Sure"

I laugh as he tells a prank Jake pull on him.

"I literally had to walk through campus with just my hand covering my crotch"

I smile. "Did you get hard?"

He choke on his fries. I chuckle as a blush appear on his cheeks.

"Those words shouldn't come out of your mouth" he whisper.

I roll my eyes as I chew my burger.

"So where are we going next?" he ask me.

"To my house, we're going to look through our pictures" I said.

"You didn't burn them with the rest of my things" he said.

I jump. "I'm sorry about that, it was selfish of me, I wasn't thinking of you-

"Chelsea its fin-

"No it's not any of those things could have help you with your memories" I sigh.

"Oh please you need to get your feelings out somehow it's the past just let it go" he said.

I smile at the end of his sentence.

He narrow his eyes at me. "Don't you dare sing you have a terrible singing voice"

I smile. "How did you know that?"

He shudder. "You was singing Demi Lovato give your heart a break in my car when we was going to meet my parents for the first time"

"It's great that you're starting to remember"

He chew on his fries and nod.

"It's much better knowing you're helping me with it"

I smile as I felt the flutter in my heart and the knots in my stomach.

I smile as we enter the living room. The aroma of Chinese fill the home. I grab Eric hand and drag him to the kitchen.

"Hey you two" Mitch said as he exit the kitchen.

I smile as I watch mom took out a huge bucket of takeout. Her eyes widen as she saw us.

"Eric" she shout. She walk quickly over to him and knock me out the way as she hug the boy to death. His eyes widen in fear as he look my way. I chuckle and exit the kitchen. I saw Mitch placing wine on the dinner table.

"Wine and Chinese?" I ask him.

He chuckle. "Your mother idea, more like demand"

He told me how the wedding preparations were going. I chuckle as Mom walk in with Alex looking petrified.

My eyes widen. "Mom what did you do?"

"Nothing all we did was talk right Eric?" she turn toward him.

Before Eric can say anything. Mom told us to go wash up for dinner. Eric hasn't said anything throughout dinner. Eric thank mom as we exit the house. We walk over to his car.

"Let's take a walk" he said.

"Sure" I said confused.

I look up at the night sky as we walk down the blocks. It was suspiciously quiet except the sound of insects and the occasional barking of dogs. We turn the corner of the block. It was awkward as we walk. Something was wrong. I felt the urge to throw up at the nauseous and petrified feelings.

"Just how bad did I hurt you?" he ask me.

I stop walking. "What?" I ask him.

"Your mom she told me what a wreck you we-

"No I wa-

He grab my wrists. "Don't lie just tell me the truth"

I frown and sigh. "It hurt that you didn't remember and how you would listen to the lies they was feeding you, you didn't even get to hear my side of the story, but it's not your fault"

He frown as his eyes turn into slits. "It is my fault, I put you through the pain, gosh! Look how bad I treated you, and yet your still here with me Why becca, Why?!"

"Because I still love you" I whisper.

His eyes widen. "you l-love me?"

"it's bee years since we broke u-

Time to rip off the bandage.

"She lied to you!" I shout.

He frown. "Who lied to-

"Anna, and Chantal" I said.

He shook his head.

"Believe i-

"I'm not my mom she would-

"Oh please can't you see the demon i-

"She isn't, I agree she's mean to you, but she wouldn't do-

I felt my hear racing. I grab his wrist tighter. I quickly grab his cheeks and pull him toward me as I place my lips on his. Before he could react. I pull away. His lips are warm and soft.

"Did you feel anything?" I ask him.

He place his fingers on his lips and look up toward me.

I shook my head. "You didn't feel anything"

I turn to start walking. "Come on let's go"

"Yeah" he said.

It was quiet as we return back home. I guess he didn't feel the sparks. I just hope I didn't blow it.
