Memory Loss

Chapter 5

"So you’ve remembered everything now have ya?”  Robbie asked Lydia as they all sat around the dinner table one night.  It was a few days after Gary and Lydia had spent the night together, though nothing had happened between them.  Lydia was almost surprised Gary had not pulled any moves on her, but he had acted like a true gentleman.  She knew that would be the case though, she knew he wouldn’t do anything she didn’t want.

     “Not everything, the night I got hurt and lost my memory I still can’t remember anything from that day, and there are also a few other things I can’t remember.”  The boys nodded, seeming to understand what she was saying. 

     “So you can remember who you are now.”  Robbie said laughing, all the boys and Lydia laughed again also, though Lydia stuck her middle finger up at him in an answer.  

     “Anyway we better be going, we got those dates with them girls.”  Mark said to Robbie, who quickly got up from his chair, making his way upstairs to get ready.  Lydia didn’t think she had seen him move so fast.  

     “What are their names again?”  Gary asked the three remaining boys who were still stood in the kitchen.  

     “My ones called Julie.”  Mark smiled and Lydia could see he was looking forward to the date. 

     “Mines Michelle, Jay’s is called Ellie, and Robbie’s is called Meg.”  Howard told them, before he also jogged up the stairs to get ready.  As the boys left the room Lydia cleared up all the mess left after dinner, whilst Gary was on the phone to Nigel and the boys were upstairs getting ready.  Once they had finished, they came back downstairs to say bye to Lydia and Gary, before leaving.  

     Lydia and Gary spent the evening watching films cuddled up on the sofa together, when the last film was finished however, neither of them felt like moving, they were too comfortable where they were.  Soon though, they began to kiss again.  Lydia loved kissing Gary, every time she felt herself get lost in their kisses, she felt herself get lost in Gary’s lips.  These were the kind of kisses she had been dreaming of when she was younger, kisses with fireworks, with feeling, with love.  These were the kisses every girl was meant to have, the kind of kisses every girl deserved.  The ones that made shivers run down your spine and goose bumps appear all over your body, with hairs sticking up everywhere.  As Lydia got further lost into the kisses, she soon began to climb onto Gary’s lap and their kisses progressed.  Lydia felt different, she began to feel herself start to want him in a way she hadn’t wanted anyone before.  Gary pulled away from their kisses he almost had to push Lydia away to look at her, they were both panting heavily with loss of breath and with need.

     “Are you sure you want this?”  He asked her.  He wanted to make sure she wanted this and wasn’t just trying to please him.  With her loss of memory and also loss of voice, she was quite vulnerable, though she wouldn’t say that about herself and she wouldn’t admit it to anyone.  He didn’t want to take advantage of her at a time when she was less able to defend herself, he had to make sure this was something she wanted, he needed to make sure.  Because if she wasn’t sure and she later regretted what they were about to do, Gary would never forgive himself.  

     Lydia smiled back at him, never before had someone cared about her the way he did, no one had asked her if she wanted something, if what they were doing was ok.  No one had ever cared about her thoughts or feelings in a situation, they always went ahead with whatever they wanted, without a care in the world about what Lydia wanted.  Being asked if she was ok with this, Lydia felt one hundred times better.  He had taken care of her, he had taken her in and looked after her in such a kind and friendly way, no one had ever done something as nice as that.  He had been so loving towards her as well, no guy had ever been that way, well not once she was their girlfriend.  After a guy had finally managed to get her to be their girlfriend, they stopped being so nice and loving.  Gary hadn’t acted that way.  In fact he had acted pretty much the opposite.
