DAMIEN

I wake up to her sweet scent and the divine sensation of her fingers threading through my hair, and my scalp prickle with goosebumps. My hands enfold her in an unyielding grip. Is my subconscious making a statement? I shake it off and weaken my hold on her. The room is submerged in darkness now, illuminated only by the dim light provided by the lamp on the black bedside table and the moon trying to peek in. For a while, we are veiled in privacy and seclusion, cloaked from the outside. My rib cage expands with the realization she stayed. I need another confirmation as I crane my head and get lost in her scoping hazel eyes.

“Did you at least get some sleep, Bria?”

My voice is heavy with sleep, but I feel rested. I toss the thought that it’s due to her.

“No, I was too busy watching you sleep.”

The corners of my lips quirk up when I spot two dots of red color emerge on her cheeks.

“Well, I am glad to hear your creepy tendencies remain. You always had a fascination with watching me sleep which I never understood.”

One moment I probe who the woman in my bed is, and the next I hear my Bria rise. To only deepen myself in more trouble, I don’t care who she is, acts, or pretends to be. I still recognize her, and this is the birth of the mother of all problems.

“Because I thought if I saw you while you slumbered, then I would know if it was me in your dreams,” she answers, nibbling on her thumb.

“You were the only thing I ever remembered from my dreams.”

I sense her stir and grab her. “No, stay the night. Stay with me. I’m sure everyone thinks we both left without saying goodbye. We’re safe here. I’m not ready, Bria.”

I believe by now my manhood just bolted through the window, cussing.

“One night, Damien.”

“This is all we’re ever going to have, Bria.”

She sighs but nods and demands, “You have to tell me a story, then.”

“This is not going as you wish, Bria. You can’t give me what you did in the past. Do you remember your answer to my question of what you would do so I would tell you a story?”

She blinks before answering. “Yes, Damien, I do. I said I’d give you anything.”

“But now, it would all be a lie, and we agreed not to dirty the memory of what we had. I’ll give you something else, instead.”

“What, Damien?”

“My top ten memories of us.”

“Only ten?”

Shock transforms her beautiful face as her mouth drops.

“For someone in your position, you are greedy, but you never settled for less than everything, so I can understand your disappointment.”

“I’m not disappointed, but I could never make a top ten for us. Everything we had was magical and precious.”

She places her hand on her chest, hazel eyes delving into mine.

“We only have one night, Bria. Take my top ten or leave them.”

“Fine. So, what was your number one, then, Damien?”

And I burst into laughter, and my whole body vibrates.
