Chapter 26: Remember

Lance's POV: 

       When Brooklyn handed me the contract, my memories came rushing back. First I got a glimpse of the first time I saw Vanessa, at the restaurant. Her beautiful eyes and curves drawing me in along with her killer ability to cook. Our first date at my favorite restaurant with a kiss at sunset. And finally, waking up in the hospital bed, seeing Arabella first, but noticing the look of sadness crossing Vanessa's face. She was the one who waited there for so long. I felt bad for not realizing it sooner. 

    I tried getting up but soon learned that I was connected to an IV line. Dammit. I laid back down and grimaced at the pain I felt starting up in my ribs and leg. Vanessa came running through the door, her eyes wide with an unreadable emotion. 

     "What happened? Do you need to go to the bathroom? Why did you move?" 

   "I tried to get out of bed. Tried being the key word. No, I just wanted to see you. Sorry for scaring you." I apologized, internally smiling at the thought that someone cared enough to be scared for my well being. 

Vanessa's POV:

     I came running when he didn't even remember me. I'm such a fool. Why can't I accept that I've lost the one guy I may have loved? I heard him calling my name, so I snapped out of my trance.

     "Sorry, what were you saying?" I asked, trying to stick a happy face on. He was smiling so I was bit confused. 

    "Come sit." He said, patting the empty spot next to him. I sat and turned my head towards him, to be met with his face only inches away from mine. I bit my lip nervously, my face heating up as his rough hand cupped my cheek. He whispered, 

    "I remember." before softly kissing me on the lips. His lips were cold from the ice chips but felt wonderful on my throbbing ones. The kiss didn't last long, but still left me light headed from the sudden feeling of relief and lack of oxygen. 

   "I would hug you, but I don't want to hurt you," I said quietly, still surprised that he remembered. 

   "That's okay. Thank you for still caring about my health when I didn't even remember your name." 

    "No problem, Brown Eyes." I happily told him, blushing a fiery red after realizing I said that name out loud. 

    "Brown Eyes? I like that nickname." He said, smiling as he lifted my chin to meet his eyes.

       I'm so glad he remembers.
