Chapter 1

"Chuck?"

"Yes?"

"Kiss me"

Chuck didn't hesitate; maybe he hasn't believed that much in Morgan's crazy idea, but on that moment he would do anything, even though it seemed nonsense, so that Sarah could get her memory back. And he kissed her, and immediately he felt his heart beating faster, Sarah's lips were calm but given. Sarah got surprised toward her body's reactions when Chuck started kissing her, it was like if a good energy, from every point of her body, was on the way straight to the heart, it was a new feeling that she couldn't remember having, not even with Bryce. But this new feeling hasn't been enough for her to remember. Sarah was afraid to carry on and, without hurry, she moved her lips away from Chuck's.

Sarah didn't look directly to Chuck, she didn't dare, she could imagine the hope he would show in his eyes, eyes that in the last few days have been so beggar and needy of her. She felt a tear rolling down her face and then felt the warm touch of Chuck's hands on hers.

"Sarah, look at me"

She hesitated a little, but she did. Chuck's eyes were full of tears, but he had a smile on his face. He knew that Morgan's plan hadn't worked, but he couldn't stop trying, he needed Sarah for him anyway. Chuck touched Sarah's face with one hand and gently put a lock of hair behind her ear. Sarah tried to say something, but Chuck hurried off.

"Morgan will be disappointed when he knows that his brilliant idea didn't work"

Sarah laughed and, with tears rolling down her face, she put a beautiful shy smile, but beautiful. She turned her eyes to his, in the last few days she hasn't had time to fully notice him, but now she realized that Chuck was really cute, sweet and attractive, a very different man to whom she was used to. He started talking.

"Look Sarah, I will not give up on you, I'm sorry but even if you ask me I will not give up on having you by my side again. And even though you don't remember, I'll do anything for you to fall in love with me again, and I hope that one day we can look back and see this moment as the restart of our history. Let me love you Sarah, let me make you happy."

Sarah took a deep breath before talking.

"Chuck, I don't want to give you false hopes. I confess that I felt something special with that kiss, something new, but I don't know what it is. My head is a mess and my feelings are completely lost, I know I have to give you a chance, to us. But I really need some time, a few days to think about what I'm gonna do with my life. "

Chuck nodded his head.

"I understand, and I'll give you the time you need if you promise that you will come back to me."

Sarah looked at Chuck and smiled, she didn't know in what situation she was, how or when it would happen, but she knew that one day she would return to Chuck, even though if they would be just friends, she would come back to that man.

"I promise."

"Great. And what are you gonna do?"

"As you told me that my mother and Molly are now safe, I intend to stay with them for a while, to start a normal life."

"It's a great idea"

"And what about you?"

"Well, I sold the Buy More and everything underneath it, including the castle. Beckmann managed to unfreeze our account with our 42 million dollars, so I thought to go on with our plans, the plans we made before you lost your memory."

"And what were those plans?"

"Build a spy agency against cyber terrorism, with no guns, no danger. It seemed, for us, a great way to start a new life. And I would love to be able to go on with this plan with you."

Sarah kept staring at Chuck and she felt bad for seeing that man whom she supposedly had loved all these years, begging for her love. Maybe he hadn't said it clearly, but his look had spoken enough, those brown eyes showed the pain that Chuck's smile tried to hide. Sarah looked away from him, staring at the sea, she stayed silent for a few seconds and then got up. It made Chuck sad, because in that moment he felt that regain the woman he loved would be more difficult than he imagined, but he got up, trying to keep himself always close to Sarah. She was with her head down and scratching the sand with her feet, it seemed she was thinking. Sarah lifted her head and turned her look at Chuck.

"For now, I'd rather leave everything the way it is, I don't want to make plans, I just want to live the present."

Chuck nodded his head, a little disappointed with Sarah's answer. Despite knowing that he had to give time and space for her, it was difficult to see that his Sarah was not the same with whom he drew his future a few weeks ago in the bullet train.

"I have to go," Sarah said.

"Can I call you, you know, every once in a while?"

"Of course, you can call every day if you want"

Chuck liked what he heard. So, he opened his arms

"A hug?"

Sarah smiled, she walked over Chuck and joined herself in his arms. He took her strong with his body, to feel the heat from Sarah's body next to his was one of the best feelings for Chuck. In that moment Chuck could not help the tears to roll down his face, he remembered the day they chose "Felling Good" by Nina Simone as their song, how she lay in his arms and hugged him as if the rest of the world didn't exist, she seemed so fragile. The hug wasn't the same, Sarah wasn't the same, but Chuck kept loving her the same way or more than that day. Sarah didn't know exactly how to describe, but that hug was good, Chuck's arms were warm and somehow they made her feel safe. Sarah moved away, wiped the tears that were getting Chuck's face wet and then she took his hands next to hers.

"I'm sorry I can't give you now the love you deserve"

"I've waited my whole life to find you Sarah, I've crossed many rivers and roads until I reach you, and whatever happens from now on, the five years I lived by your side will be forever the best of all my life."

Chuck's words woke up Sarah to an even greater desire to remember and an enormous anger of Quinn, if he wasn't dead already, she would kill him, but this time in a slower way that would make him pays for all the memories he had stolen from her, all the magical moments she had lived next to Chuck.

"Goodbye Chuck" Sarah said.

Chuck gently brought his lips to Sarah's forehead and kissed it.

"See you later, Sarah"

Sarah moved away and her hands gradually let go of Chuck's, he stood still watching her leave again, but this time he wouldn't let her go forever, Chuck was willing to win her back, and he would do it even if it was the last thing he would do in his life.
