Soulmates - a paranormal romance

Chapter 17 Amnesia

Skye woke up in a luxurious bedroom. A canopy with pink silk sheets draped over top. Silk white bedsheets and comfy fluffy pillows. She was dressed in satin pink pajamas. This room was nice but she had no memories at all. She felt scared not knowing what was going on. She got out of bed and noticed she had a huge diamond ring on. It must have cost thousands of dollars. She just shook her head in confusion.

She walked into the bathroom and washed her face, not recognizing herself in the mirror. There was a flowery dress hanging up on the bathroom door , along with clean underwear, a bra and a pair of sandals. She decided to take a shower. When she stepped inside she noticed lots of pretty bottles of body wash, shampoo and conditioner. She started washing her hair first , then her body. Everything smelled like lavender, her favorite scent. Maybe this is my house she thought and I’m just not thinking straight. She finished up, got out and wrapped herself in a towel.

She heard a knock at the bathroom door and jumped. “ Who’s there?” She asked. “It’s just me, your husband." he replied. “I’m married? I don’t even remember my name or where I am.” She said frightened. “It’s ok, you were in an accident and lost your memory, I’ll explain everything. Just get dressed and I’ll make you some breakfast.” He replied. “Ok.” She said uneasy.

She finished getting dressed and she brushed her hair. Nervous about what awaited her on the other side of the door. She left the room and walked down the hall. This place was a palace. Definitely nothing she could have afforded. Purple velvet walls lined the entire hallway and the floor was made of unbreakable glass with crushed up gold underneath. Fancy lights lit up the entire house. Am I married to a billionaire? She thought. She reached the living room and it was gorgeous. A diamond chandelier hung from the ceiling. The living room walls were black with all black furniture and more golden floors.

“I’m in the kitchen sweetie don’t be afraid." She cautiously walked in the kitchen and sat down at the kitchen table. The kitchen was more of a sea theme. Glass floors with crushed sapphire underneath. Blue walls and all blue appliances. It had a more cheerful tone than the rest of the house. He turned around to look at her. “ I’m king Luscious, we have been married for 4 years.” She was looking at a handsome older man. Older then she would normally be with. He had pretty blue eyes and long white hair and he was tall.

“How old am I, what is my name?” “ You are my beautiful Skye, and you are 25. We met when you were 20 at a farmers market and it was love at first sight. We got married soon after. “ “ Why would a king be interested in marrying a normal girl like me?” “When we first met at that market I knew you were the one. You look so beautiful and I felt a connection with you that I never felt with anyone. “ he said. He finished cooking her breakfast and put it in front of her. Fresh orange juice, pancakes and bacon. “ Thank you.” She said as she dug in. It tasted delicious.

“ So how did I lose my memory?” She asked. “ We were on a cruise celebrating our four year anniversary. You were leaning over the deck when suddenly the ship stopped quickly and you were thrown over the edge. The doctor thinks you hit your head on a rock when you hit the water. I blame myself I should have been closer to you but I was getting us drinks.” he said as he moved closer to her. “ It isn’t your fault it sounds like an accident." she said as she kept eating her food. She soon finished. “ That was delicious, thank you.” She said.

“ Anything for you ,my love.” He replied as he took her plate and kissed her on the forehead. She smiled up at him. “We can take things slow until you remember me, and remember all that we have shared together.” He said. “ What if I never get my memory back?” She asked. “ Then we will make new memories together.” He said as he grabbed her hand gently and kissed it. She blushed. She may not remember this man but he sure was charming.

“ So this is our house?” She asked. “Yes.” He replied. “ If you’re a king , does that make me your queen? “ she asked. “ Yes.” he answered again. This was a lie though because they are not married. “ This is all overwhelming" . she said as she felt lightheaded. “ That’s why we will take it slow.” He said as he hugged her and held her tight against his chest. Her heart was beating fast, she was scared of him and the whole situation. He kissed her on the top of her head and cast a calming spell on her and her heart rate slowed. “Let’s just sit on the couch and relax for the day and watch tv.” He said. She nodded her head and he took her by the hand into the living room. She curled up on one end of the couch and he covered her up with a blanket. She stretched her legs out and he attempted to rub her feet to make her feel at ease but she moved her feet away from him and started crying.

“ What’s wrong, my love?” “I wish I could remember something, I feel like my life is over and I'm in a stranger’s house.” She said as she continued crying. He wrapped his arms around her and held her again. “It’s love my love, even if your memory doesn’t come back right away I promise I will take good care of you.” He said as he ran his fingers through her hair.

He decided to cast a sleeping spell on her so she wouldn’t cry anymore. He laid his hand on her back and soon she fell asleep. He carried her to her bed, set her down and covered her up. He kissed her goodnight.
