Mia's POV

When I woke up this morning, I thought everything that had happened yesterday had been a dream. However, I realized that was not the case when Alex held my hand in the car as he drove to the meeting.

I loved the way that my hand and his seemed to be like two puzzle pieces that fit each other perfectly.

We were both in high spirits not just because we had decided to show each other what we felt for one another but also because our business deal was finished successfully. Even though it took much longer than expected since It basically took all day, we decided the night was still young and we would celebrate at the bar tonight.

I felt a little giddy once we arrived because as a coincidence, we were at the same bar that we had been to before. It was the nicest bar in town so maybe it wasn't much of a coincidence but still, it felt like destiny was pushing us together again.

We were having a drink and sitting on an expensive looking white leather couch when a bachata song came on. I immediately recognized it because it was one of my favorites so I started to lightly sway to it.

Alexander stood up and held his hand out to me, "may I have this dance with you?"

As always, he was such a gentleman. I took his hand and we headed to the dance floor. His arm was around me holding me close while my arms were around his neck. This kind of music definitely was very romantic and we were very close and personal. He would give me a bright smile every so often which made me smile in return. Even though he was happy before his accident, he just seemed like a much happier person now.

As we danced and laughed together, one song became two then three. When the fourth song started playing, my heart beat even faster if possible. That was the first song we danced to and our favorite song to dance to as a couple.

It was much more sensual than the others which was why he immediately pulled me closer. I knew he couldn't remember the times before but despite that, when we looked into each other's eyes it was like he knew. Even if he didn't know the details, he knew and felt the bond that we had.

All of a sudden his smiling face became much serious and he scrunched his eyebrows as if confused.

"Alex?" I asked worriedly when we were both standing in the middle of a sea of dancing bodies.

He looked at me as many emotions passed across his face but the one that I focused on was recognition.

"Mia" he said it in a way that made me feel like he knew me. Not a superficial knowledge but a really deep understanding of who I was.

"Mia.." he repeated with wonder across his face.

"What is it?"

"I remember."

Alex's POV

I could feel her warm body against mine. I knew we were meant to be for each other by the way that her body fit mine perfectly.

Our bodies moving in sync together to the beat of bachata. This all felt so familiar but so new at the same time. This happiness and love overtaking my heart were emotions that I never wanted to let go of.

I never wanted to leave Brazil if I got to have Mia like this every day.

A slower, more sensual song started playing and I could see Mia was really into it. She had a knowing look in her fade as if it held some significance.
