Waking up in a room full of light is never a good idea. Her head was pounding and the pain felt like it was never going to leave her body. She wanted to get up and as she did that a hand came in contact with her arms making sure she stayed in place.
"Can you please lie down. You shouldn't move." a soft voice said in almost a pleading tone. And that voice alone made her cease her movements though the hands around her made her flinch. She just stayed there for a minute or two before looking up to hands that had stopped her. He was the most beautiful man she had ever seen. He had blond hairs and grey eyes which was a rare combination. He was dressed in a white shirt and blue pants. his sleeves were rolled up till the elbow and it made his biceps muscles quite visible. Her eyes roamed over his entire body. He was a well-built man in early mid twenties maybe. He really really was handsome and she was in short for words to describe him.
"like what you see?" he waved his hand in front of his body.
"Yeah." she said in a low voice "Can you pass the water?"she asked him. It was so true that she was checking him out. But it wasn't her fault he was hot.
He passed her the glass and sat at the bed near her.She gulped down the water hungrily, now at least her throat felt better. She then kept the glass at table beside the bed and looked at him. In the instant that her eyes connected with his, a rapid glimpse of something passed through her mind. It was like a memory. A very vague one. A quick rapid glimpse of something and it was gone as soon as it had came. She now felt confused. It seemed like she should know him somehow.
"Should i know you?" she asked bluntly.
"Yes. But since you don't remember anything i would like to again introduce myself." he said that with confidence and stood up and then he bowed in front of her and said
"Hello davina. I am Blake Clinton. I am your boyfriend."
"WHATT!!!" she almost choked on air. She could not understand what was going on in her life anymore. She lost her parents, her house and now her memories. she was now pretty sure why he looked so familiar. For once she wanted her life to be easy, was that so hard to want a life which was normal. Maybe everything was normal before she lost her memories. Suddenly a hand came in contact with her face and she flinched. Looking up she noticed a look in blake's eyes. He looked.. hurt. She wasn't sure why, maybe because she lost her memories of him or maybe because she flinched. His hand was still on her cheeks, it was a gentle touch and she didn't even noticed when tears started rolling down from her eyes.
"shh baby shhhh" he gently wrapped his arms around her sat down beside her. She didn't know for how much time she stayed like that but she didn't want to move away from the hug. It felt good and to some extent right. After sometime she let go of him and sat straight.
" Sorry for your shirt, it's wet." she said to him. He didn't say anything but just gave a small nod and a smile. He looked good when he smiled and for the first time she noticed he had a dimples and suddenly a dirty thought crossed her mind. She was a suker for dimples.
"So how was our relationship?" she asked him
"We were dating for a year now. We were best friend before that for a year. Yesterday was our one year anniversary. We were having breakfast in a cafe and then when we were leaving I got a call and I left your hand to attend it. i didn't notice a car coming towards me and in that moment you pushed me across the road and you got hit."
He paused after saying this and looked at me, there was so many emotions in his eyes. Longing, happiness, guilt, hurt, but most prominent was love. He looked ...lost. And in that moment she wanted to nothing more than comfort him. Say or do something, anything that would ease his mind. And this feeling was making her insane. She didn't even know where this was coming from. She didn't even know this guy , at least for now. Maybe when her memories come back she would understand these feelings better.
"I am so sorry babe. I wish it was me. I am so sorry. I am sorry for everything." he continued his rambling. She felt bad for him, seeing him like this, she felt weak. She wanted him to stop blaming himself. So she did the only thing that came into his mind, she took his hand and placed a soft kiss on it.
"I know. I know. Its okay. It's okay. It's not your fault okay? I made my own choice. I am fine now aren't i?" 'apart from my memories' she couldn't help but not speak those last few words aloud.
She tugged his hand and motioned him to come and sit beside her. He did what she wanted. He then faced her and placed a kiss on her forehead and once again she flinched. She wasn't used to this, maybe she was but not now...no. But her flinching didn't go unnoticed by him.
"Are you hurt? Should I call the doctor?' he asked with a worried look.
"No. It's just i am not used to this. I am sorry. This is all so new to me."
"Its okay. I understand. Do you want to eat something?"
"No, I just want to sleep for sometime."she squeezed his hand lightly.
"okay, you rest. I will stay here right on the couch. So say if you need something tell me okay?"
He stood to get up but she held his hand and tugged it to make him look at her
"Can you stay here beside me?"
"Sure babe. Go to sleep. "
He pulled the sheets over her and himself and she nuzzled in crook of his neck. And he pulled her closer to him. She couldn't help but feel in that moment that everything will be alright.
"Goodnight blake"
"Goodnight davina"
And as she was falling asleep she couldn't help but hear his word. Though they were incoherent, they were like a lullaby for her ears. And at that time she couldn't help but feel a little attraction towards him ....again.
