- DAY FOUR -
GRAYSON’S eyes widened in complete shock when an over speeding car suddenly came out of nowhere and fast approaching the car who happens to just stop. A woman went out from the vehicle and look at him and even waved her hands at him. And before he knew what will happen next, the raging car hit the other car where the woman just came from. And the woman, who waved at him, was hit by that raging car.
“No!” he screamed
“Grayson! Grayson! Wake up!”
That’s when he opened his eyes. He quickly got up and found himself crying. He felt so scared and his body is trembling.
“Grayson, are you okay?”
He looked up while panting so hard and saw the worried look on Kaylee’s face.
“You’re having a nightmare,” she said while rubbing his back gently.
Now that Kaylee is here. It’s strange how he slowly calming down and don’t feel scared anymore. He felt this kind of happiness when she sat beside him while feeling her hand at his back.
“Do you want to tell me about your dream?”
Confused. He tried to remember what he saw and tell her everything. “I was literally just about ten steps away and I saw how that car hit that woman. Everything seems so real, as if it happened in real life.”
It took a while before Kaylee speak.
“Do you remember who is that woman?”
“No,” he answered. “Her face is the only thing that was blurry.”
He looked at her again when she took a deep sigh. “Don’t worry, it’s just a
nightmare. Go back to sleep,” she said.
Grayson held her hand when she stood up.
“Please, don’t leave me. I’m scared.”
Kaylee sat down again and smiled at him, then, chuckled.
“You know what’s weird? Your mind can’t remember anything about me. But your heart completely remembers.”
“What do you mean?” he asked confused.
“Go back to bed, then lie down side ways, facing here,” she answered instead.
Grayson did what she said. She lay down the same as him and faced him. Then, she put her hand on top of his hand and slowly tap it while looking at him.
“Every time you’re having a nightmare, I am the first person you will call no matter what time is it. I will rush to your house and we will lay down like this until you fell asleep.”
“Looks like I rely on you a lot,” he said.
Kaylee smiled. “We rely on each other a lot. We always do things together.”
Grayson took a deep sigh and held her hand tight, then, close his eyes.
“The feeling of holding your hand like this is very familiar.”
Suddenly, Kaylee burst into tears and embraced his arms. “I missed you, Gray. I missed you so much. You are just here beside me and yet I felt that you’re still far from me.
Grayson brushed her hair with his fingers, then, pull her closer and hugged her tight.
“I’m sorry,” he whispered.
“ARE YOU sure with your decision, Kaylee?” her Dad asked from the other line.
She transferred the phone on her left ear and looked outside.
“Yes Pa, if I work with him as his Personal Assistant, I have an enough reason to stay with him twenty-four seven. I think that will him remember me.”
“How about your plans in going back to teaching?”
Kaylee took a deep sigh. “Grayson is more important to me now,” she answered.
“Okay, if that’s what you want. Don’t forget to visit me on your free time.”
She smiled. “Of course, Papa.”
Just right after she talked to her father, she heard a loud knock at the door. Kaylee quickly ran and peep at the peephole, when she Ace carrying Grayson, she quickly opened it.
“He’s drunk,” Ace said while giggling.
“W-What? Is he already allowed to drink?” Kaylee asked worriedly and opened the door of Grayson’s room.
Ace lay him down on the bed. “We had meeting over dinner with our agency’s big boss. Grayson bought beer and he had quite a few. You know his body has low tolerance on alcohol. He’ll be fine, don’t worry.”
Kaylee smiled.
“Thank you, Ace. I’ll take care of him; you can go and take a rest as well.”
“Thanks. Don’t forget our schedule tomorrow and make sure to prepare everything he needs. I already sent the list to you.”
Kaylee point at the luggage. “It’s already prepared two hours ago.”
Ace nodded. “You’re amazing, Kaylee. What would this fool do without you again?”
“Nah, he’ll be fine.”
“Anyway, I’ll go ahead.”
After Ace left. Kaylee locked the door and went back to Grayson. But got a little
surprise when she found him sitting at the edge of the bed.
“Hey, are you okay? Do you want anything? Wait, hot coffee will make you a little sober.”
“N-No… I don’t want coffee… come here,” Grayson said.
As Kaylee approach him, Grayson grabbed her hand and pulled her beside him. His eyes are almost closing but he is trying his best to look at her. Kaylee’s chest started pounding hard when he held her face and gently caress it.
“Kaylee…”
“Why?”
“Don’t leave me… again… please…” he said.
If she had no idea about his condition, Kaylee will think that his memories are finally returned. She smiled.
“Should I wish that you’re always drunk? Because you seem to remember me now?’
He chuckled. “My mind doesn’t remember you at all, but… but, my heart does…”
“You have to rest, Grayson. Let’s just talk tomorrow,” she said and stood up.
But Grayson pulled her back again, this time, he lay her down the bed.
“W-What are you doing?”
Her pounding heart started pounding much harder and louder now. Grayson is staring at her straight in the eyes with lots of emotions.
“I told you, don’t go anywhere,” he said.
Before she knew what was coming. Grayson suddenly kissed her on the lips that made her eyes widened. That was just for a while until Kaylee found herself with eyes closed and kissing him back. His kisses started to get deeper as soon as she responds. As her hands crawl on her broad back and his nape. Kaylee savors every taste of his sweet lips. Oh, how she dreamed of his moment to happen. To be able to feel just
once that he loves her. To feel his kiss, his touch and warm embrace. She moans when he felt his tongue darted inside her mouth, as he held on to her waist and squeezed it firmly.
Things between them starts getting hotter. Grayson are now laying on top of her. As they shared fiery, hot and wet kisses, his hips started humping on her enough to feel his hardness inside his pants. He stopped kissing her only for his lips to crawl down her neck.
She should stop him. He’s drunk and his memories aren’t full back yet. If she will not push him now, she can’t stop him later. She knew he’s getting out of control. But even Kaylee can’t control herself either. All she wanted all her life since meeting Grayson was for him to love her. But still, she knew she had to stop him. She was about to push him when suddenly, he stopped moving.
“Gray?”
Instead, she just him breathing. Kaylee smiled when she realized what just happened. He fell asleep. She slowly pushed him and carefully lay him on the bed. She took off his shoes and put on the blanket. Before leaving Kaylee planted a kiss on his lips.
“I didn’t know you’re such a great kisser,” she whispered and left.
