Pain and Love Comes in Many Forms

Chapter Fourteen

"Jack, what are you doing?" I asked, throwing my arms around him as he read something.

"Looking at old photos," he admitted, "Want to join."

"No thank you." I snort.

He laughed, "I thought you'd say something like that. You've turned into me a bit."

"I can't help it, we just got together!"

Jack shrugged, "but we'll still have time after your tour. You think I'm unfaithful?"

"Well-"

Jack laughed and pulled me close, our lips smashing together as we rolled on the ground. I pulled away, laughing.

"you trying to seduce me?"

"Not at all. I'm going to treasure you this time around."

I pout, "well, you better. You get no more chances."

"I know. I wouldn't deserve another if I broke your heart again." His hand gingerly brushed against my cheek.

"I know you won't hurt me again," I whispered, "you love me too much."

"I do love you."

My eyes opened, and I flushed.

What was that?

It wasn't a dream!

Was it a memory?

I sat up, looking around.

Was..... was he in the guest room?

I got up and walked towards his room, and opened the door, finding him fast asleep.

He wouldn't mind, right?

I crawled into the bed next to him, feeling a strange sense of déjà vu.

I felt even weirder when he put his arm around me, pulling me closer.

"Nightmare?" He asked softly.

"No. I think it was a memory?" His eyes peeled open.

"Really, and what would that be?"

"This." I pressed a quick kiss to his lips, hiding in his chest.

"So you figured out we were dating?"

I nod, "I did."

Jack smiled, brushing hair away from my face, "you were so persistent. We both loved each other and despite how much of a dick I was in the past, you forgave me."

"I can't ever stay mad at you. I want my memories to return. I hate only knowing pieces." I mumbled into his chest.

"They'll return, don't worry. Give it time. I'll be by your side through all of it anyways."

"I'm happy for that."

Jack loved me!

I never though such a thing would be possible for a guy scared of his own shadow most of the time.

"Wait!" I exclaimed, "d-does that mean we've had sex?"

Jack chuckled, "technically we've had sex before, but that was before our actual relationship. As it stands, we haven't had sex as a couple."

"D-don't couples normally have sex?"

"Of course not. Well, I guess so? I think as long as you love each other, whatever you do is what is normal. We just haven't gotten to that point."
