14. How She Finds the Truth

OLIVIA

Our lips connected into a sweet kiss and they moved together as if we have done this before; which I guess we have since we've been together before only it's me who don't remember but maybe...in a way, maybe I do remember. My body remember as I'm drawn to him and want to get closer even though I'm already pressed firmly against his muscular body. My lips remember as they start to move more passionately against his.

We pulled away from each other, our eyes connected and his looked into mine with so much love. Or at least that's what it looked like to me. "This might be too early for you, but I need to say it..." He started to say slightly nervous while I looked at him with confusion and my eyebrows furrowed. "I love you Olivia."

I love you Olivia

My eyes widened in recognition.

The rain was pouring down on us; reminding me of a flash from my past I once remembered of me and a boy, standing on the streets while the rain kept pouring down.

It was the reason to why I loved rain so much; the sound of it against the roof or the ground, the smell of it.

I always thought it was Sam standing there beside me in the rain, because he was the only boy I knew. But now when I think of it... It makes sense that it was Ian.

"I remember."

At hearing my words that I happened to breathe out in realization, Ian's eyes widened so much that it looked like if they would pop out from their sockets. "I remember you... A memory about us." I clarified but all Ian did was stare at me shocked and frozen as his hands was still resting on my waist from holding me close to him during our kiss.

"It was you." I smiled brightly as I looked up at him and into his widened eyes. "The boy in my dreams, the one in the rain... I remember the time when you told me you love me. When we stood in the rain like in this moment right now." His shocked expression faltered into an expressionless one. "How we danced in the rain." I laughed as I moved closer towards his body, pressing it once again against his.

His lips formed into a smile. "You remember that?" I nodded. He smiled so brightly at my words and leaned up, pressing his lips against mine in a quick kiss. "Do you remember anything else?" He wondered with a hopeful look.

When I shook my head, his happy and hopeful expression faded into a frown.

I placed my hand on his cheek lovingly. "But this is progress, I never remember my past without it being painful... Maybe I'm finally ready for the truth... Ready to embrace my past."

"Yeah... That's good." He said lowly, as if he was hoping for more and were disappointed.

But I however was now hopeful, because this was new to me - I actually remembered something, something important - Ian - and it didn't hurt. It was progress.

To me, this moment meant the world to me.

"Will you tell me about them?" I asked Ian with a hesitant voice as I tilted my head to look at him. His eyes looked into mine as he tightened his grip around my waist; we just laid down on his bed after removing our wet clothes and changing into something not, and more comfortable. My body was still shaking slightly from the cold but Ian's body heat, definitely made up for it.

He leaned forward and kissed my lips lightly, and I too tightened my grip around him as I laid on my side against his muscular body. He's definitely not one of those cops who eats donuts all the time. I thought for myself as I blushed lightly when I felt just how fit he are.
