TWELVE

I wake up to the sound of birds chirping and for a moment I forget. I forget that I am in bed with Nate, I forget that I am married to him, and I forget that I forgot. I stretch lazily in the bed’s warm sheets and my eyes flutter open and closed, open and closed, adjusting to the light that is streaming in the windows. The day is begging me to wake, to go out into the world and make it my own. The birds are singing to me and the light shines upon my face telling me it’s time to get a move on.

Then I remember. My consciousness brings with it the pain associated with my new life. I close my eyes, wanting to go back to sleep but then Pete’s silhouette dances in front of my closed eyelids and I mentally spring to life. Nate stirs, and I wish I hadn’t jolted when I thought of Pete. He rolls towards me and I quickly pretend to be asleep, clenching me eyes shut and parting my lips slightly.

Nate’s hands go in search of my thighs under the covers and he finds them. He runs his fingers up from my knees to the tops of my legs and then, with his hand, he parts my legs open and begins massaging me. I shift my hips to the left and away from him, moving his hand with my own. I know I need to act normal, so he doesn’t get apprehensive, but honestly, what is normal anymore? What is normal for us?

“I started my period last night.” I tell him, in a raspy morning voice.

I don’t look at him to gauge his reaction, but he has no reason to not believe me.

“That’s okay, darling.” He moves his hand up to my breasts and rolls closer to me, kissing along my collar bone and then up to my neck, my ear, back down to my neck. I let out a forced, fake moan. I feel him grow hard against me and I want to die.

“My head is hurting again, I think I’m remembering something.” I tell him this because I know it’s the only way to get him to stop without him becoming suspicious. I can’t stomach kissing him. I won’t do that to myself. I can’t.

He snaps to attention and sits up, leaning on his left arm. “Oh yeah, what’s that?” I’ve piqued his curiosity.

I sit up at the edge of the bed and move towards my dresser while telling him that I remember driving after Connor was here. I was thinking about how excited I was to have a sister.

“Oh, really. Hm.” His voice trails off and I worry for a moment. “Well it isn’t much, but I suppose that’s a start.”

I feel my pulse slow back to its normal pace. “Yeah, perhaps that means we’re getting somewhere. I feel confident I will get the memories back. Remember the things that happened, you know.” I say this just to dig at him a bit.
