In My Feels

Chapter 33

Maui's POV

 I'm honestly in so much shock. Moana doesn't remember me exactly, but she knows in her heart that she's mine and I'm hers. She knows that we belong together because we love one another so deeply. What's even more shocking is that she ignited the best kiss we've ever had before. When we pulled apart just a few minutes ago, I was gasping for breath like you wouldn't believe. I blush like crazy and try to gather myself to speak. "That was incredible Mo." She giggles and raises an eyebrow. "It certainly was. By the way, I've never been called Mo before but I like the way it sounds coming out of your mouth." I blush even more. "I'm glad to hear that." A yawn slips out of her mouth and I look at her in concern. "Are you tired? I can leave and let you rest." 

  I get up slowly to give her some space to rest but she grabs my arm, causing me to spin around and nearly stumble face first onto her bed. "No stay. Please." Her adorable expression melts my heart and makes the little willpower I had to leave to disappear. I nod. "I'll stay. Can I just tell your parents that everything's okay?" She nods. I go to tell them that real quick and both of them are relieved. I also quickly fill in Ariel and Jack on what's going on. They're a bit sad because Mo isn't ready to see them yet but they understand that we have to take baby steps with her until her memory comes back. I go back in and sit down by Mo's bedside as do her parents. Meanwhile Ariel and Jack head back to campus. I made sure to promise that I'd text them later and update them on her condition. 

A few hours later...

  Mo begins to wake up from her nap. When she notices me staring at her, I blush and look away shyly. As I've said before, I pretend to be macho but when it comes to her, I'm this awkward, shy, and super mega dork. I'm just so entranced and in love with her. "Hey Mo. How'd you sleep?" She gives me a beautiful smile. "I slept fine. Have you been here the entire time?" I yawn while nodding. "Maui, you're tired. Go back to campus and sleep." I shake my head no. "Not yet. I will in a bit." I text Jack to see if he can pick me up since he was the one who brought me here and he says he can. For the rest of the visit, I joke around with Mo and do whatever it takes to put a smile on that amazing girl's face. 

An hour later...

   My exhaustion has completely crept up on me and I know that it's unfortunately time to leave. I know that I can come back to see her after I rest a bit and get some homework done, but it feels like an eternity. I give her one last hug and a kiss and head back with Jack. When I get in his car, he hammers me with a million questions. I answer every single one with ease. Most of my answers seem to disappoint him. I put a hand on his knee. "Listen Jack, I know it's tough for you and Ariel to not have Mo remember you guys, but Mo doesn't remember me either. Yes she's been hugging and kissing me, but I'm afraid it's based on a feeling rather than her knowing who I am. She told me that she feels like we belong together, not that we are together. The only people she remembers fully are her parents and grandma Tala who passed away." 

    Jack runs a hand through his hair, an action that one often does when they're stressed. "I know Maui. It's hard for Ariel and I, but I know it's even harder on you." I nod solemnly. "I just want her to come back to us completely." Jack nods and we sit in silence for the rest of the ride. We meet up with Ariel with to eat before going back to our dorm to rest. "Ariel, can I talk to you for a minute?" Ariel nods and releases herself from Jack's grip. "What's up Maui?" I pull her in for a gentle hug. "Don't give up on Mo. I know she doesn't remember you right now, but she wants to see you and Jack tomorrow." Ariel brightens instantly. "That's wonderful! Thank you Maui!" I grin at her fondly. "What can I say except you're welcome?" She rolls her eyes at me and goes back over to Jack. 

    I watch the two of them in silence while eating my food. Though the more I watch them fawn over one another, a pang of sadness hits me. I miss doing these things with Mo. I know she hasn't had memory loss for that long, but it feels like it's been forever. I so badly want her to remember the important events of our lives like when we first met, high school prom nights, our first date, and so much more. What if she never remembers me in the way that I want her to? Starting all over with her hurts almost as much as her never remembering everything that's ever happened between the two of us, if not more so. 

    I finish my food quickly and politely excuse myself from the table. I go for a walk around campus to calm myself down before actually heading back to my dorm room to finish some homework and studying that I'm behind on. My professors were kind of enough to give me extensions due to Mo's horrific accident. I have an extra week on every single assignment and exam. I'm so lucky to have kind and understanding professors. I won't take that for granted ever again. The cool fall air and breeze is enough to calm me down temporarily and get my mind focused on completing some of this homework and studying before driving back to the hospital to visit Mo again.
