Chapter 21

Chapter 21

-Alec

No! Its not over! She's not gone! I can't lose her after everything we've been through! I've never even told her I love her. I have to find her. I can't let this be the end!

I refuse to give up and I yank the car door open.

"What the hell?!" The guy jumps out of the car door and I move him out of the way.

"No time! I have to go stop the woman I love from leaving forever!" I jump into the car, slamming the door shut and speeding off after her.

I search the roads for the car as I drive down the mountain. I'm going well over the safe speed for the road conditions but I can't seem to care right now.

I take out my phone and dial her number but it goes straight to voicemail. "Come on! Answer damnit!"

She can't just leave..Why would she go back to New York??

And then I realize its all my fault. Fuck! I abandoned her! How could I do that?!

I had tried so hard to remember, visiting places where our memories took place, learning everything I could. Nothing worked.

My head throbs in pain and it takes me this long to realize there's a gash on my forehead and its bleeding. And I probably have a concussion.. Again.

Maybe head trauma is what triggered the memories? Whatever it was, I don't care. I'm just grateful to remember.

But none of it will matter if I don't catch up to her.

I floor it and search the open road, beginning to feel hopeless.

And that's when I see it. Her car!

I bang on the horn and roll down the window. I band on the horn a bunch of times and then stick my hand out the window, motioning for her to pull over. She probably has no idea what's going on but I watch as the car slowly comes to a stop.

I pull the car over behind her and watch as the beautiful woman emerges from the car.

I fling the car door open, jumping out to go to her, and her eyes widen in shock. "Alec?? What the hell--"

My hands grasp hold of her face as I crash my lips onto hers. I kiss her the way I kisses her the day I got her back in New York. So much urgency.. Passion.. And need. I need her more than I need air.

Her lips melt against mine and I wrap my arm around her waist and pull her against me. She kisses me back, matching my need with her own.

Something wet drips onto my skin and I realize she's crying. No matter how much my body demands it, I ease up on my kiss, being gentle and delicate. Its sweet and loving, showing her my love for her.

The dead part inside me is finally awake and all my emptyness is finally filled. I have the one thing that I need in my arms once again. The months without her have been too long and pure agony. But all the pain is washed away by this very moment.

Reluctantly, I break the kiss and rest my forehead on hers. "I love you.."

Her head tilts back to look up at me in confusion. "What?"

"I remember, Erika. I finally remembered. And I never got to tell you the truth. I love you."

A cry escapes her lips and more tears stream down her face as she jumps up and wraps her arms around me. I smile, catching her and spinning her around. She takes my face in her hands and I stop spinning as she kisses me again. Its short and breif but when she pulls back, she wipes away her tears and smiles.

"I love you, Alec!"

My heart skips a beat, literally, and it actually hurts. It takes me a second to regain myself. "Holy shit, I think my heart actually skipped a beat.. And it fuckin hurts.." I set her down and her eyes widen.

"Oh my God are you okay!?"

I laugh and nod, "Everything is perfect now that I have you."

She smiles and hugs me tightly. "It killed me knowing that you didn't remember us.."

My heart sinks and I hug her tighter. I can't believe I gave up and left her.. "I'm so sorry, Erika.."

"Shh, its okay. It doesn't matter anymore. All that matters is that you remember now.. Я люблю тебя." I love you.

I smile, "Я тоже тебя люблю." I love you too.

-Erika

So close. I was so close to being gone. But he chased after me. He remembered.

I drive my way back to the sanctuary, following behind Alec. I never made it too far so its not a long drive.

I park the car beside Alec's and grab all my bags from the trunk. Alec tries to carry them for me but I reassure him that I got it. I have to exercise my shoulder anyways after dislocating it.

I drop my bags on the floor in my room and sigh, shrugging off my coat and hanging it up. Alec kicks the door closed and spins me around to face him. I giggle and stare up at the playful grin on his face.

His head dips down and he kisses me, sending all sorts of sensations throughout my body. His arm wraps around my face and pulling me flat against him. I melt in his arms and move mine to wrap around his neck.

His lips move on mine in perfect sync as we kiss. He takes a step foward until my back flattens against the wall. His hips push into mine as his mout leaves mine and moves to my neck. He leaves a trail of burning kisses down my neck and to my collarbone and I moan.

He groans and his lips come back to mine, more demanding and urgent. My hands tangle in his hair, pulling ever so often and causing him to groan.

My leg moves up the back of his and wraps around his waist. He pushes his hips against mine and closes all space between us.

He moves my other leg thats still standing and picks me up. I wrap my legs around his waist and he flattens my back against the wall once again.

My lips leave his and move over his shoulder, kissing my way across his collar bone, up his neck, then sucking on his lower ear lobe. He moans and pushes his body closer against mine. I move my hips, rubbing against him as I nip his lower ear lobe once more. He growls lowly before crashing his lips on mine once again and making his way to the bedroom.

He lays me down on the bed and glides his body over mine, and I wrap my legs around his waist once more. He lifts my shirt up over my head and tosses it across the room. Then we continue on from there.
