When he woke up it was still dark out, but it was nearing the morning. He felt Teresa on his chest, and her legs between his, he looked down at her, she look very comfortable on him, happy, safe. The rest of the room was asleep as well. He laid in the bed thinking about so many different things, thinking about all the things that she told him last light. He felt so bad for her, she had gotten her memories back but Thomas hadn't. She remembered their past relationship but Thomas didn't. He wondered how it would feel if he has gotten his memories back and she didn't. He knew exactly how she felt, heart broken, shattered into a thousand pieces. He laid there for a while longer, stroking her dirty brown hair.
Thomas wanted to get up without waking Teresa up, so he did it as slowly as possible, gently placing her head onto the pillow. He turned around to walk away but his attempt to not wake Teresa up failed. She grabbed his hand weakly but he didn't resist. He turned back towards her.
"Where are you going?", she said in a quiet and sleepy voice.
"Umm… umm… just to go and get some fresh air that's all."
"Can you stay longer? It's still dark out."
"I was with you all night"
"Please, Tom. It's cold without you"
"Ok fine, a couple of minutes couldn't do any harm"
He got back into the bed, they both laid on their sides looking at each other, their legs where in between each other again. Thomas's hand was on Teresa's cheek, pulling her hair back behind her ear. His other hand was holding her hand. They looked at each other for a long time, slowly moving closer. Teresa watched his eyes and then to his lips and back to his eyes. Eventually they closed the gap and they felt each other's lips against their own. Thomas's hand slowly when down to behind her neck and hers went into his hair. Teresa moaned each time she needed a breath, she pulled in closer to Thomas until there was no space between them. Their kissing became more and more fierce and louder. Thomas pushed off the bed so he was on top of her now. His hands where at the sides of her head. She cupped his face pulling him down closer and closer to herself. Her lips where hot and wet, making them slippery, but that didn't stop him. Finally she broke away before it got to out of hand.
"Tom", they were both trying to catch their breaths
"Ye", he panted
"We can't do this here, you know that right"
"Yeah, yeah sorry"
He rolled off of her but not taking her eyes off. Her face was red, blushing full of embarrassment, but she wasn't looking at him, she was looking above him.
"Teresa are you alright?"
She didn't answer she just kept starring.
"What are you looking at?", he said and then turned his head behind himself
It was Minho, he was just standing there with his arms crossed.
"Oh sorry was I interrupting something?"
Thomas immediately shot up out of the bed and was standing beside him in no time, Teresa just turn to face the wall with a hand on her face.
"How long have you been standing there? Minho.", Thomas asked nervously
"Maybe like 30 minutes"
"30 minutes?! Nah man! That's a long time."
"30 minutes shank, 30 minutes", he slapped his shoulder and walked out the room.
Frypan was standing by the door and winked at Thomas and walked out with Minho, leaving Thomas who was just standing there and Teresa who was facing that wall with a red face.
"That was pretty awkward." , he looked at Teresa, but she still didn't move, he sat down beside her, "Hey are you alright"
"No, I am not alright", she started to get mad, "you were in my bed kissing me! And not to mention, on top of me!"
"You where the one who asked me to stay with you, and I was leaving than you told me to stay, and the we started kissing and, and-"
"I only asked you to lay down for a while longer and then you kissed me for like 30 minutes, 30 minutes Tom"
"Common it's Minho, he was lying"
"It was still dark when you woke up and now there is light."
"Common Teresa, you enjoyed it too, I bet you where super sad we didn't reach the next level"
A smirk appeared on her face, "Oh shut up… Well we can't ever do that again"
"What?!", he asked really confused"
She got out of the bed, still having the smirk on her face. She walking up to him till there was barely any space between them.
"We would need to get our own little cabin then."
"Yeah", he replied dreamily staring in the ocean in her eyes.
She hung her arms off his shoulders, hands where cupping her face and before they knew it they were kissing again, like nothing ever happened. This time Teresa took the lead, pushing him back until he was against the wall, but never breaking apart. Her hands lowered to under his shirt, and his did the same, feeling her soft smooth skin.
But just at that moment a bunch of Gladers including Minho burst through the door. Teresa jumped back looking at the ceiling, trying to hide the redness of her face. Thomas just stood there rubbing his chin, looking at all the directions but the door.
"Common man this the second time in a row", Minho said breaking the awkward silence, "You and your girlfriend could have at least locked the door"
"Why did you come here in such a hurry?", Teresa said quickly trying to change the subject.
"Yeah, umm… Newt is here.", Minho replied
"But- No he is dead!?", Thomas shouted
Then from behind the Gladers Newt walked in, he was fine.
"Hello Tommy"
ooo****ooo
"So you are telling me that whole time they had you locked up and their controlled clone who looked like you was the one with you.", Thomas asked in confusion
"Ye"
"Wow. So how did you find us here?"
"I had this GPS sort of thing.", he said while pulling out a small phone like device
"Wait, can this lead you back?"
"Why would you want to go back."
"Just yes or no"
"Yeah probably"
Thomas grabbed the GPS and walked out the door to find Teresa. He couldn't find her until he thought of an idea. She was probably by the river again. As he walked up the hill he could hear her humming, he heard that tune before, he just didn't remember. As he got to the top he found Teresa siting on the big rock with a plate of bread and salad. She was swinging her legs back and forth hitting her heels against the rock. She looked so happy at that moment, Thomas walked up to her and sat beside her the rock.
She looked at him and he looked at her. He tilted his head to the side a bit so he could reach her lips without bumping into her nose. It was a controlled kiss this time, only lasting a few seconds. Until he finally moved back, Teresa also moved back with him not wanting to stop the kiss, but then she realized.
"Teresa, I think I found a way to get my memories back"
"What? How?"
"Newt came here with this GPS thing, so I can make it go to an old WICKED base, and get my memories back."
"No, you can't go it's to dangerous, there will be grievers and cranks"
"It's OK", he put a hand on her cheek, pulling her dark hair back behind her ear, "I will keep that promise of remembering you, because you are my 'Happily ever after'"
She smiled looking from him chest to his eyes, "You know what, I'm fine the way you are now. What is you go there and something happened to you, what would I do then"
Thomas didn't answer He just closed his eyes and leaned froward into Teresa's lips. He felt tears down her cheek, making him want to kiss her more and more. They both stood up, Thomas placed his hands on the sides of her face and pulled her closer into him and she did the same. They both wanted to do more but they couldn't because Minho would always find them. So they broke away.
"I think that we should go back"
"Yeah, we should"
ooo****ooo
After dinner everybody went back into their cabins. Thomas laid with Teresa again. She dug her face as deep as she could into his chest, she kept her arms on his chest instead of hugging him. As always she listened to his heart beat.
"Tom. I love you so much."
"Me too"
"I don't care if you have your memories or not, all i care is that you are here and safe."
"Teresa, this isn't just for you, I also want to know."
"NO, please don't go."
"I promise I will be safe", he kissed her forehead
"Please be."
