Restoring the faith

All is revealed..

Zak POV

A week later.

I rubbed my face looking at her from the doorway of the bedroom. Brittany still didn't know me, so any physical touch was wrong and she wouldn't come anywhere near me. I was in the guest room hoping that if she slept in our room she might recognise something, anything!

She remembered Aaron when he tripped over a chair in the hospital, after laughing she called him clumsy and asked if he was hurt that night. Taking us all by surprise that she could remember head butting him.

She remembered Kate when she brought in new baby clothes to show her what she had brought.

Now there was just me..

"Hey Mr, why do you look sad? Can I help you? I don't like seeing you sad." She frowned.

"I'm okay." She still called me Mr. I've told her countless times its Zak but it never sinks in.

"Please? Talk to me?"

I walked over and sat in the bed of the bed looking at her.

"Come lay here with me?"

"I can't sweetie. It's not fair on you. It's not right." I sighed.

I felt Brittany move across the bed and place her forehead on my back. She inhaled taking in my cologne, I had gone over everything! Spent hours talking to her explaining things, showing her videos and pictures. But still I was met with a blank look. Snaking her hands around my shoulders she gave me a hug from behind.

I held onto her hands and let a small smile play, this was such a fucking mess but I had to smile for her.

She pulled her hands away and pulled at my top.

"I.. Can I see please?" She asked trying to look at my Povelgia tattoo.  I helped as she removed my top, waiting patiently I felt her fingers dance across my skin gently. Her lips kissed my back tattoo lightly, sending shudders down my back.

She moved around seeing more of my tattoos. Looking up at me quickly her eyes flicked back down. Smelling my skin again she smiled.

"You're so beautiful. I wish you could remember me."

"I've missed this." She kissed my mouth hard taking me completely off guard. I needed her, I missed her so much. Her tongue slipped into my mouth giving a little moan when I responded more heated.

"Zachery Alexander Bagans" She asked. I froze and looked at her.

She called me Zachery! She called me Zachery!

"Brittany?"

"I.. I remember now. You ate my carrot cake." She answered making me laugh.

"Oh sweetie I'll buy you carrot cake forever if I have to!" I pulled her around onto my lap letting her straddle me.

"Zak?"

"Hmm.." I answered in her neck as I kissed it.

"I love you." She answered making me stop.

"Love you too. You remembered me."

"Did you miss me?"

"Of course, everything about you. Even down to poking me in the face and eyes when I was trying to sleep. When you're all hyperactive in bed rolling on me and putting your cold feet on my legs. Human burrito. And and this!" I breathed kissing her harder.

She sniggered rolling her head back when I moved down her neck nibbling it playfully.

I spent the day with her loving and holding her. Talking about random things, snuggling, reviewing evidence and eating food. It was in the evening when I noticed she had gone quiet again.
