Road To Revovery

Chapter 16 Memory

(((Warning Explicit Content Warning)))

Avery's POV

After a fun late lunch with Elijah.. filled with so much talking and joking about anything and everything once again.. We get back to his place in no time at all. I watch him unlock his door, opening it for me to enter like such a gentleman.

As I start to pass through the doorway, I stop right in front of him, stepping on my tippy toes.. Softly pressing my lips to his, I slowly inch away from him but this just brings him with me as he follows not wanting our lips to part. I can hear the door shut behind us, by his doing.. but I'm not breaking the kiss to confirm that theory. Quickly I wrap my hands behind the back of his head leading him further into his apartment and to the couch.

I sit down slowly, while feeling the couch cushions around me dip down because of his weight pressing down on them, taking my lead. I feel his lips press into mine more, pushing me into the couch until I can't go any farther. I love it when he hovers over me like this, chest to chest, not much in between.. I just let his overwhelmingly intoxicating woodsey musk fill my senses with each deep breathe I take in.

He smells so good, that I would just stay pinned in this hold forever if I could.

Our lips attack, just mauling each other with a hunger, a starvation for each other's embrace as if we haven't had it in forever but we know that's a lie. I don't know what it is about this man, I just want to be around him all the time.. and the time I do get with him just doesn't seem like enough, that I feel like I'm craving for more and more. Like I'm addicted to his enthralling touch.

I hear my phone ringing, so I quickly push the sides of it, sending the call to voice-mail. I put my phone down, not missing a kissing beat with him unless I have to.

I feel his hands wrap around my hips holding them tight as if they are his last life line and I don't mind that one bit. His lips trails from mine, down my jawline and to my ear. He is breathing lightly into my ear as he feathers kisses, sending waves of chills down my body at that action alone.. but it increases the sensations as his lips graze over the top of the curve to my neck, taking my breath away on straight contact.

I feel his hands lightly glide over my soft skin under my shirt and up to the bottom of my breasts touching them both lightly. I hear the music of my ring tone fill the room with not only panting and moans but also the loud reminder I have someone calling, interrupting this amazing moment.

I reach out feeling over the top of everything to the side of me, until I finally get hold of my phone pressing the sides again sending it to voice-mail once again. I feel his hand trails down over the top of my stomach and to my waistband, pushing his hand under my waistband and in between my panties so now there is nothing between, just skin to skin contact.

His kissing on my neck, gets more hot and heavy as I feel his fingers start to circle over my slit making jolts of sensations pass through my whole body, causing my legs to instinctively spread, just loving his touch.. so of course giving him more access.

I hear my phone ringing again as I groan out because I don't want anymore interruptions taking me from this mesmerizing time with my man.

I take my phone out, "Fine." I say outloud before answering it in a huff. "Yes?" I hear a sigh of relief on the otherside, "Oh thank God you're ok!" Stevie states as I feel Elijah push his fingers up inside of me, making me want to moan out so loud, but I hold back not wanting to do that in Stevie's ear. "Yes, I'm so much better than ok..." I exclaim breathlessly.

"Well I'm here." She states to me as I force out the question, "Where?" Biting my lip before I moan at him pushing his fingers at a quicker pace, in then out. His open hand lifts my shirt and bra as high up as it now is exposing my breasts, so he begins to massage them.. I start to arch my body in pleasure having a hard time holding everything back.

"Here at your new place with Elijah.. I tracked your phone because I was worried when you didn't pick up my calls.. but I have the car here for you to check out to make sure it's fine." She states to me as I feel Elijah increasing his pace while now sucking on my erect n*****s and I'm so close to my climax it's not even funny. My breath is taken away so I squeak out breathlessly. "Ok.. I'm.. cumming.. down I mean." I say hanging up the call as I moan out so loudly in complete ecstasy, finally letting the goosebumps run rampant up and down my writhing body. He just reads every last inch as if it's braille knowing just what to do and how to do it.

He pulls his hand out from my pants leaving my lifeless relaxed body to fend for itself. I just lay on his couch not moving a muscle, enjoying every last second of the euphoric peak that I'm slowly declining from.

"Come on beautiful, we need to go down and see Stevie right? I think I heard that right?" He asks as I nod my head but I still don't move a muscle. "That was too amazing I don't want to move.." I state to him making his husky rumble of a chuckle exit those plump lips of his. "I'll do that again later.. but we need to go down there to her before she comes up and gets you." he states extending his hand to me so I groan out as I willingly take it, letting his arm strength pull my limp body up. Showing just how reluctant I am of this.. like a kid who is mad about not getting their way.

We walk down the stairs with no help really from me, as I just drag my feet down each and every step. I told you I just want as much time with him as I can get, because the time I do get just doesn't seem like enough.

We get out of the front of the building doors as we instantly see Stevie who is standing besides a black vehicle smirking at me. "Nice to see that you finally CAME out here." She emphasizes the word I was hoping she would forget about.. I think she knew exactly what was happening but doesn't look like she judges it one bit as she adds. "Well isn't he a sight for sore eyes, I wouldn't have wanted to leave from there either Avery.. but lucky for you I ended up getting you the same color and model of car you had before, because I know you loved it so much.. so I just wanted to make sure that this was fine with you. I have it for 24 hours before having to sign everything for you." She explains as I just smile big walking over to the driver's seat.

She opens the door for me to get in. I sit down as I ask, "So this is the same as what I had as before?" She nods before replying. "Yea and I just remember you talking about how much you loved it, so I figured that would be a good choice for you.. but since you have changed so much as well, I also figured I should let you decide if this is alright or not." She explains further to me as I smile and nod in understanding.

Elijah jumps into the passenger seat looking at the interior with me. "This is nice baby." I nod at that as Stevie responds, "Well turn it on." She hands me the keys in this instant as I take her advice putting the keys into the ignition and turning them. I hear the engine rev on, but in that same instant the music's melodic sound plays. I know this song.. I hear the melody as my lips start to move with the words but accompanied by my scrunched eyebrows because I don't understand.

"I know this song." I state outloud as Stevie says, "Ok?... wait you don't remember anything." She explains to herself so I don't have to.

"I've said those words before but it was a lie.. And you deserve to hear them a thousand times.. If all it is is eight letters.. Why is it so hard to say? If all it is is eight letters.. Why am I in my own way? Why do I pull you close? And then ask you for space.. If all it is is eight letters

Why is it so hard to say?" I sing to myself curiously shocked that I even know the words.. I don't know anything but I know this song.

"You know this and sing it beautifully.. crazy to think really.." Elijah says to me as I keep singing to myself trying to figure out why this song is resonating within me.. "I said those words before but it was a lie." I sing the lyrics as everything around me turns black taking me back into a memory.

It's pitch dark all around indicating that it's night time. I can only hear the revving of the engine and this same song I seem to be singing with.. I suddenly feel my car bumping as the tire rotates.. I groan out as I slowly pull over getting out to take a look at the problem. I stumble around the car holding on to it, from still feeling very intoxicated.. but I'm not too drunk to figure out what the issue is.. It's a flat tire... great.

I struggle getting back to my driver's side, climbing back into my car, sitting down to call AAA to help me out.. but before I can even dial the number I see bright lights coming right at me as it crashes into my side of the car sending me flying and rolling down the hill. I'm thrown all around the car as it crushes in from all sides because of the massive rolling impact. I scream and try to brace my body as much as I can because nothing else will work to help in this tumbling destroyed car. The car smacks against the ground, throwing me to the ground as I hit my head harder than I ever expected. I can feel the blood dripping down my forehead as my eyes slowly shut and there is nothing I can so to keep them open. 'I've said those words before but it was a lie' plays around me as I black out.

I come back to the car in the present as I'm panting holding my chest and head. Elijah and Stevie look panicked.. I'm trying to catch my breath as I stutter out for them to hear. "I was hit.. by another car.. I didn't take the corner hard when I got into my wreck... I was at a complete stop.. I had a flat tire and got hit off of the turn."

"Wait you had another memory come back?" Stevie asks as I nod my head vigorously trying to calm my breath again. "Someone hit you? we need to go back there and check that corner out! There has to be something there to help prove this.. that person needs to be charged they almost killed you!" Elijah states to me as I still hold my chest.

"Ok.. but only one problem I don't know where I got hit... do you?" I ask Stevie as she shakes her head at me looking almost sad for not being able to tell with that.. or maybe sad that her getting me this car help set off another horrific memory.. who knows but either way I know more then I knew before whether it's good or bad.

"I can find out where." Elijah states gaining my attention.. "How?" I ask curiously as he calmly states. "Your files.. they have to put where you were found.. so I can just go to work and casually find that out for us.. then we can head there. And since there is only one junk yard it's safe to assume where your old car was taken."

"Ok let's do this." I respond as he nods, "let me drive for now just in case you get another memory back.. I don't want any of us to be in danger of you blacking out for a second.. ok?" He asks empathetically, probably trying to not offend but I nod, completely understanding where he is coming from because I bet that's scary to see.. for me to just black out at any given moment because anything can set it off.

"Is your head ok?" Stevie asks as I see my hand is right on my forehead where I hit it. I didn't know I had it not only on my head here but in the memory as well.. strange. Everything keeps getting weirder and weirder as time goes on.
