Dedication

Boiling Point

The next day we all met at Michael's house for a get together. My mom was cooking a big dinner for everyone and I was hoping that this was a sign that her and my father would be departing soon. I love them but i cant take them for much longer.

I got dressed. Winter was slowly approaching and the days were getting colder and shorter.

I heard a knock on my door. I headed to open it up and Florian stood in the doorway. My body instantly reacted. My heart started beating faster and I couldn't help but look him over and admire him. He's a fine man, memory or not i can't definitely see that.

He was dressed casually.

He smiled when he saw me. "Hey." i spoke softly.

"Hey." He spoke scratching the back of his neck. "I figured we could drive to Michael's together if that's all right with you." He said.

"Sure!" i replied. "Just let me grab my purse and phone." I ran and grabbed them before returning to the door to him.

We walked downstairs in an awkward silence and got into the car. The beginning of the car ride was quiet, so i decided to make conversation.

"So, uh, how's your day been?" I asked, mentally cursing myself for the juvenile question.

He chuckled. "It's been fine. Haven't really done much. Usually you and I would've done something or just hung around one of our places spending the day together." He said.

"Sorry. I know this must be hard for you." i apologized. He took my hand in his, looking between me and the road. He kissed my knuckles softly. I blushed looking away.

"Don't apologize. This isn't something you asked for or could've helped. Just know i'll be here, no matter how long it takes. Even if we have to start over and i have to make you fall in love with me all over again." He winked.

"And what if I don't fall in love with you?" I joked.

"Baby, we both know that's inevitable." He joked back winking at me.

I laugh and looked away at the streets passing by.

"How about tomorrow, I take you out. You can ask me all the questions you want. Anything you want. About me, you, us." He offered.

I smiled at him. "I'd like that."

We arrived a few minutes later at Michael's. We knocked and my father answered the door, embracing us both in hugs. We walked inside to where everyone else was waiting.

"Hey! The Happy Couple has finally arrived!" Michael joked.

"Foods ready!" My mom called from the kitchen.

"Just in time." Florian said walking to the kitchen. We all sat around the table, My parents, Michael and Kay and Florian and myself. We filled our plates and began eating. Both the guys humming at how delicious my mother's baked ziti is.

"So hun, tell us about your appointment with your hypnotherapist." My mother inquired.

I rolled my eyes, irritated that the topic of conversation alway came back to me and my memory.

"It went well." I answered briefly.

"Well tell us more than that." my mother prodded.

"It was my first appointment mother. There wasn't much progress yet." I answered annoyed. I began pushing my food around my plate, clearly irritated. Florian put his hand on my leg and I looked over at him to anchor myself. He still has an effect over my body.

"Well maybe your father and I should stay a few more wee-" I cut her off, throwing my fork down.

"No mom. You and dad should go back home. All this hovering and trying to play house will not bring back my memory! I'm so sick and tired of being treated like a child by you. Yes there are gaps missing but I know how to function without being coddled so yes you and dad should definitely go back home!" I shouted. All my pent up frustration came pouring out.

Everyone at the table looked shocked. I stood up and stormed out to the balcony. The cold air lashing against my face. I stood huffing and breathing heavy and slowly tears started running down my face. I heard the sliding glass door open.

"Nic." Florian said softly. I spun around to face him, the tears cascading down my face. He strode towards me and instantly pulled me into his arms as i continued crying.

"i-i didn't mean to be so mean. They just keep hovering and treating me like a kid." i sobbed.

"Shh." he rubbed the back of my head holding me tight. "its ok. Just take a minute. breathe."He cooed.

I don't know how long he stood there holding me, could've been minutes or could've been hours but either way it felt right.
