Eden

Sitting down to dinner with Jude and my three best friends after a day of sightseeing through Paris, I feel incredibly lucky. Jude squeezes my hand and I kiss his cheek. I haven’t asked him any more questions about our past. I can understand why he didn’t want to tell me everything. Once all my memories come back, I have a feeling that our relationship will change. It won’t be the same and that scares me a lot. We may have parted on bad terms, he may have broken my heart. I was just fifteen so I’m hoping I can move past whatever happened and still love him. My thoughts are so scattered. Sometimes I wish I just kept taking those damn pills. I could live in ignorance blissfully if I had Jude by my side.

"Will you two be needing a separate table?" Mariana asks and I instantly feel torn.

"Sorry, I'll do my best to control myself," I wink at Jude and he winks back.

"Will you be joining us for the burlesque show after dinner?" Angie asks. I glance at him, hoping he'll say yes. I don’t know if I trust myself alone anymore.

"I think I'll let that be a girls' event but I will be outside when it's over to escort all of you safely back to the hotel," he tells me with a kiss. I shake when I feel his fingertips slide across the lace of my thigh high stockings.

"Well, feel free to join us if you get bored," I tell him, trying to hide my disappointment.

"Don't worry about me. As I told you, this is my city. You enjoy your time with your friends. I feel bad enough for taking you away from them so much in London," he explains. I forget my friends and wrap my arms around him. Being without him yesterday was difficult. I didn’t think I would ever want to be around someone as much as I do him. I used to like solitude. I would read, study, and go for walks. Parties and clubs weren’t really my thing. When I was dating Tyler I was distant. There were many times I would ask him to leave, I’d lie and tell him I wasn’t feeling well just so I could be alone. I felt like he was too clingy and here I am being clingy with Jude. I have to get a grip, but it’s so hard with him so close to me. I feel like I’ve been missing him. It’s a strange feeling to have when I can’t remember losing him.

"It is only your company I desire," I whisper in his ear and he responds by gripping my thigh under the table. I would happily give up the evening and go back to the hotel with Jude if I knew it wouldn't upset my friends so much. Sophie has been looking forward to tonight so I can't refuse her this.

When dinner is over Jude walks with us to the show.
