Try to Remember

I apologize if this sucks, I've never written anything before. Sleep dep makes me creative (but it's usually in the form of amvs)
You ever wake up one day and … just … forget???
I woke up with a start on a train, where was I going??? Think girl think…shit. I don't remember my name either, double whammy. I jumped again when I felt a strong arm wrap around my shoulder and a kiss to the top of my head.
"You're up I see, we're almost there" the deep voice said enthusiastically.
"Where are we going???" I asked in hopes of remembering something, anything.
"I told you, it's a surprise"
Were we headed north or south? I couldn't tell what time it was, or if the sun was rising or setting. It was just above the horizon, and I couldn't quite make out the face of my companion. I tried looking at the faces of the other passengers but that didn't help; they all looked as though they hadn't slept in days. At least the guy with his arm around me and my drool on his coat is cute…I think. I can only see his silhouette. Apparently I had been twisting my fingers through his long hair in my sleep as my fingers were kinda stuck in it at the moment.
"What are you thinking about Selphie?" He whispered into my ear.
AHA!!! Selphie!!! I have a name. Think hard Selphie, it there anything else you can remember…..
Nothing no last name, no other memories, not even this guy. Nada, zip, zilch, zero, total blank.
"Selphie" He waved his hand in front of my face,
"Selphie heloooooooo, is something wrong?"
"Who's Selphie?" I ask
I felt his arm tense up. He turned and pulled the window shade shut, turned to face me and held both of my shoulders in his large hands.
"You're my fiancée, don't you remember anything???" he said quietly but half panicky.
I shook my head silently.
"Think" he said to himself but out loud. "what could have caused it this time? It couldn't be the GFs, we had to give them back when we left garden. Think think think…" He started to pound his forehead with his palm and started to rock back and forth slightly.
"Ok, if you wont tell me anything about myself, then please…tell me who you are"
He turned abruptly and stopped rocking.
"I'm s..s..Siefer. Weneedtofindyouadoctororsomethingareyouok?didyoubumpyourheadwhathappened???"
"Calm down sss uh honey" damn, had I always been this bad with names?
"Yes, right, thank you, I love you" His eyes widened, it appeared that the hamsters were turning in his head and an idea had formed.
"Excuse me" He said as he pilled out a cell phone, jumped out of his seat, and started dialing as he walked to another car. I scooted to the window seat and pulled up the shade. Sun was gone. We're definitely going south.
"Ahem!"
I turned and smiled at my husband to be. It occurred to me that if we were supposed to be married we'd better get reacquainted quickly.
"When is the wedding going to be?"
"We haven't set a date yet." He said with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. "You know" He continued "that is my seat"
"Oh sorry, you want it back?"
"Yes, please" He sounded a bit irritated.
"Come take it then" I was just egging him on.
He smiled a seductive yet mischievous smile. It distracted me from bracing myself into my rightfully taken seat. In one swift movement, he had picked me up and slid under me so that I was sitting sideways in his lap with my back to the window. Our eyes met, and for a moment I was thinking that he was going to continue to fight me for the seat. But he grabbed me and kissed me, a chaste yet passionate kiss.
"You may have forgotten me, but your lips certainly haven't."
A smile appeared on the corner of his lips and a tear in the corner of his eye.
"You…never did tell me where we're going." I said hoping to catch him off guard "and do we always dress fancy like this?" pointing at my silver and black dress and his button up shirt.
"Still not telling you, and no we don't"
"So we're going somewhere special then, how long will we be there?"
"Until Sunday"
"What day is it?"
"Thursday, keep asking you have 15 more tries left miss 20 questions"
"Well I did just lose my memory"
He let out a deep sigh
"I know, I'm sorry
A deep gaze… moving closer closer closer….
The train whistle blew.
"LAST STOP, EVERYONE OFF!!!" the conductor shouted.
We sighed in disappointment. I gave him a quick peck on the lips, and we grabbed our luggage. We stepped onto the platform with the other passengers, a grand total of four, who quickly left the train station.
"Now what?" I ask.
"Now I call a cab and you will get to know where we're going."
"EEP!!!"
"Shh! If either of you call for help she dies"
A gruff voice came from behind me and a knife was pressed to my throat. Siefer's expression never changed from a death glare.
"Now give me your money, and I'll take her away with out killing her"
I'm not sure but I think he just licked me.
"Do I have any money Sief???" I squeaked.
"Yeah" He whispered with blood in his voice. "I'll just get it. You don't know where it is"
"Don't try anything funny or the girl gets it!!!" He pointed his knife at Siefer; which was all the distraction he needed. Next thing I knew Siefer had the guy on the ground pounding his head _ repeatedly _ against the pavement.
"Now apologize to the girl!!" Siefer snarled.
"I'm sorry miss" the man sobbed through broken facial features.
Siefer then hog-tied him, and left him with a note in front of the ticket booth.
Just then (as if it were written in to the pathetic plot) the taxi pulled up.
"Stay here" Siefer said.
Siefer whispered something to the driver, then walked around the car and opened the door for me.
He got in on the other side and smirked, damn but he was just so irresistible when he smirked.
"I miss doing that kind of thing, just like old times" He whispered with sad remembrance in his voice.
"I take it you were a violent person"
"You could say that" He smiled bigger than I've ever seen him smile before.
"Honey?"
"Mmm?" He was staring at me again
"Just how long have we known each other?"
"Almost all our lives m'love"
"Oh"
He reached over and grabbed my hand and squeezed it.
"We're almost there"
A/N :That's all I have so far….I'll write more if I get reviews and/or suggestions.
The muse left me last night when it saw me drooling on my notebook
I hope you liked it so far.
I hope to write more and maybe even learn html and get this to work. I'm still trying to get the hang of ms word sigh.
