When Is Love Forgotten?

When he picked me up

  He pulled up at six just as I was coming out the door yelling to my mom I was  going out. He rushed to my side and took the sight of me in. My jeans were semi tight and tucked into my boots, and my shirt was a plain white t shirt. It seemed causal but I didn't mind because unless someone was being hitched or leaving this world I wasn't going to get any fancier.

  "What did I do to deserve such a breathtaking lady on my arm tonight?", just as I'm about to answer he just shushes me," I better not question it should I?" We walk to his car laughing just happy to be in this world.

  He walks around to the passenger side door and opens it all nice for me. It was a big contrast to the last time I got into his car. I look over at him as he shuts the car door and can tell he's thinking the same thing by the way he's smiling at me. He walks to the other side and is about to get into the car when I lock the doors.

  "Hey! Gemma unlock the door please." I just smile at him and watch as he pulls at the door."Come on Gemma." I can't hold back my laugh any longer as he puts his nose against the window and fake sobs.

  "I'll let you in if you tell me the password... Maybe." I watch his masculine featured ponder a moment on how to respond. He obviously knows this is a time to think carefully about what he says.

  "Harris is the sexiest password ever, now let me in." His eyes twinkle waiting for me to sass back but I just surprise him again.

  "I was looking for my mother's maiden name but I guess that'll work too." I was giggling by the end of the sentence not to mention just dying of laughter by the time I opened the door. He jumps in the car taking me by surprise as he comes over his seat into mine, his weight once again pinning me down.

  "Get off of me! Harris please your really heavy!" I'm not too convincing because I'm still laughing as I say this though. It might've been the twinkle in his blue eyes or the smirk on his lips that led me to feel butterflies rustle around in my stomach.

  "I shall as soon as I get a password, but until then I ain't movin a bit sweet cheeks." Again that smirk was apparent which is probably why I answered the way I did.

  "Bite me."

  "My pleasure darling." With that he leans over and nips at my nose with his lips. He leans back with a satisfied look in his eyes and clamors back to his seat and starts the car. I'm sitting stunned in my seat as he drives us to who knows where. I actually have no idea where we're going so I speak up.

  "Harris where are we going? You never did tell me."

  "Ah but that is because it is a surprise, but trust me you'll like it." Its just then when he said trust were some bad memories dragged into my mind. You didn't want them there yet they wouldn't go away, no matter how much you wanted them to.

  Harris seemed to notice me zoning out because soon a hand was clamped to my eyes. Naturally my eyes fluttered in response causing him to chuckle.

  "Earth to Gemma, where'd ya go? Your eyes got angry then sad and then you weren't there." My mind wars against itself on how to answer so I answer like anyone else would.

  "I just got lost in some thoughts that's all."

  "That's bull Gemma, what I'd say that bothered you? I need to know so I never do anything stupid to mess up again, because and I know this probably sounds like the cheesiest thing ever but I never wanna see your face worried like it just was." His concern was there and I couldn't say anything because I'll just let it out now, I have major trust issues. Not the kind where you couldn't walk on the street with the fear that your neighbor was going to kidnap you but the kind where you build walls and can't talk about certain things with people. Just trust me I had good reasons.

  "Its nothing I'm fine, Harris watch the road!" He had almost ran into another car while he was watching me and now he was swerving away from it and onto the side of the road. He was swearing under his breath at how dumb he was. He stopped the car and turned it off.

  "Okay now that driving won't stop me from finding out what the Hecks wrong with you please tell me." This is just bringing back more bad memories and without knowing it tears had started dripping down my face. He reaches over and gently wipes the tears away with his hands. "Gemma please."

  I know he cares, but its me that's the problem. I have one person I trust and even then sometimes its a struggle and that's my mom. I've always had trust issues ever since I can remember. I trusted another person once and that ended with the worst possible result that I feel I can't trust again.

  "I can't, I just can't Harris!" By now I'm just a mess, and he reaches over and hugs me for the first time climbing in next to me in the small seat. I stiffen at his touch. Its almost like he senses what I'm feeling from what he says next.

  "I have a feeling someone's hurt you, I don't know who this bastard is but I already hate him. I promise you Gemma I'm not him okay? I will not ever hurt you, not ever. I know this is our first date, but I love you Gemma I know it might take a while for you to feel the same but I'll wait for you. Okay?" He's lowered his chin into my hair as he pulls me to his chest and I just nodded for a response. We sit there for a while as he rubs my back and whispers to me that its ok. When I finally settle down he kisses the top of my head and gets back in the drivers seat.

  "Well my surprise was a movie but we're a little late for that so how about we just go to my house and you can meet my mom?" I force a weak smile through my wet cheeks.

  "That would be fine." He gives me a broad smile and turns the car around. If only I had known what I had gotten myself into.
