Remember Me This Way- Chapter 15
Jena's mind did a complete 180. As she and AJ continued to kiss, her mind finally recaptured the one memory that could wipe all confusion from her life and make it whole again.
*Memory*
Nick staggered in through the front door, completely drained from the 6 hour rehearsal he hd just come home from. He dropped his keys and hat on a table in the living room and flopped down in a chair.
Nick- "Jena, you here?" He said loudly.
Jena- "I'll be right there!" He heard her say, her voice trailing from the kitchen. She quickly put the rest of the dishes in the dish washer and walked out into the living room. She found Nick seated in a recliner, eyes closed and head back. She watched him for a few minutes, all the while thinking ‘how did I get so lucky?' How often does a girl as young as her get to say that she has fallen in love with the most wonderful guy in the world, or that she has found the person that she wants to spend the rest of her life with. Nick was everything to her, he life, her heart and her own being emanated around her love for him which seemed to grow stronger everyday.
Nick- "How long do you intend on staring at me?" He asked as his eyes opened and locked with her's. Jena giggled and knelt down in front of his.
Jena- "Sorry, you just look so cute when you sleep."
Nick- "Oh, so I don't look cute at any other times?"
Jena- "No." Nick's head dropped and he started to pout.
Jena- "When your not cute, you're the sexiest man alive." Nick looked back at her, a sly smile playing on his lips.
Nick- "You keep talking to me like that and I'm gonna have to do something to shut you up." Jena smiled and went up on her knee's, placing her elbows on his legs.
Jena- "Then what are you waiting for?" Shock came over him when he realized that the look in her eyes was different from all the previous times he had teased her with punishment. This stare was filled with lust and longing.
Nick- "Jena, are you sure?" With his words, she stood up, took his hands and pulled him to his feet.
Jena- "I'm sure." He look was one of sincere and trustworthiness. He took her perfect face in his hands and kisses her ever so softly. As Jena let him explore in the inside of her mouth, she accommodated him when he picked her up and carried her upstairs, never once breaking the kiss. When he reached the master bedroom he closed and locked the door before gently placing her in the middle of their king sized water bed. The moonlight from outside the window spilled in, making Jena look more beautiful then ever as he stared at her.
Jena- "What are you looking at." Nick only smiled and laid down slowly on top of her.
Nick- "I'm making a memory, cause I never want to forget how you looked just before I made
you mine forever. I want to cherish every moment that we share tonight. I want to kiss you, hold you and then watch you fall asleep in my arms" As he spoke his fingers gently started to undo the buttons on her blouse."
Nick- "But more then anything I want to make love to you until the sun comes up. Will you let me do that, Jena?" He asked as he ran his knuckles over her soft cheeks and laid on single kiss on her upper chest, his lips just barely touching her skin. Jena held back tears as she moved a few locks of hair away from Nick's face and gave him a glance of affection.
Jena- "Yes, I want you to make me your's, and only your's." Nick needed no more invitation then that. Jena let out a soft sign of contentment as Nick kissed her again.
The feelings that Jena's mind and body were going through was an indescribable wonderous sense of love. Nick was so gentle with her, everything was done in the utmost reassurance that he wanted this first time to be a time that would stay with the two of them forever. His touch and his kiss cherished not only her body, but her entire being. Over and over again he reminded her how much he loved her and how that feeling would last forever in his heart. Nothing could ever come between the two of them as long as they always remembered that they had each other forever more.
*End Memory*
Jena opened her eyes and quickly removed her lips from AJ's. He starred at her in disbelief when she broke away from his embrace.
Jena- "I'm not supposed to be kissing you."
AJ- "What?"
Jena- "Nick, I'm supposed to be with Nick.... AJ, I remember. I remember everything." She ran into the living room to the entertainment unit and started looking over a collection of framed pictures.
Jena- "That's you and your mom after the House of Blues concert, and that's the actual show at the very end when Nick threw his water bottle into the audience. We all went out to dinner that night and that same night Nick told me that he loved me for the first time." AJ's eyes were wide with shock.
AJ- "Jena, is it really you?"
Jena- "AJ it was so scarey. It's like I was there and I was lost, I couldn't seem to get out. But then when we kissed my memory was jogged and I started thinking about Nick, and how the lips that were kissing me weren't his. It was enough to make me snap back into reality, my inner selves stopped the fighting and I found my way back through Nick's love."
AJ- "I can't believe it, it really is you. God, I missed you so much." He said as tears ran down his face and he hugged his best friend tightly.
Jena- "I missed you too, I missed you so much." She said quietly. But she broke away in seconds and smiled at AJ.
Jena- "I have to see Nick."
AJ- "You will, he'll be with us tonight along with the rest of the guys. How are you gonna tell him?" Jena thought for a moment before an idea sprang to mind.
Jena- "I have the perfect way, but I'm gonna need your help."
AJ- "Anything you want. What should we do?"
