~~~ Jed's POV ~~~ (A/N What a change, huh?)
- Five Days Later -
'I can't take this anymore! I'm trying as hard as I can, but she just keeps yelling!'
"Raye, what's the point anymore? I'm obviously not remembering anything. Are you sure I'm the right guy that you're looking for?" I asked exasperated before she started pounding another bizarre history lesson.
The look on her face was total shock, and then it changed to pain. "Of course you're the right one! I remember that much!"
"But what if the romance that we supposedly had wasn't meant to be? That this might've happened on purpose."
Her eyes narrowed at me. "Just what are you saying? Our love was meant to be. And it was meant to be a happy one."
"Well it's just that I can't picture ever being happy with someone like you! You're rude, loud heartless, you yell at your friends constantly, and you know what? I really think you are not capable of love. I don't even want to touch you!" I stood up and walked stiffly out of the room, dispite the tears flowing down her face.
'That was a little too harsh, Jed. She didn't deserve that type of beating.'
I craned my neck and looked back at her. That was a big mistake. Her head was resting on her folded arms and she was bent over the table. For some reason, the rubber band around my heart tightened when I saw her like that. It felt like something deep inside me knew that it was wrong to treat her that bad. But it didn't disappear as quickly as it had come. In fact, it never did leave...
- Later That Afternoon -
'Great, now she's avoiding me. This is a fantastic start.' I criticized myself.
As I pretended to read my new Louis L'Amour book, I eaves dropped on the conversation Raye was having with Mina.
"Raye, what happened between you and Jed?" Mina asked as she dried a plate that Raye had just put in the dish drain.
"What makes you think something happened?"
"Raye, you're staying away from him, not the other way around. What's up?"
"Just some things he said to me earlier. I'll tell you later."
'So that was it, was it? Tell her later? I bet she'll tell everything I said all right, but she'll most likely tie a whole bunch of venom it. Well, there was a bit of venom, obviously. There was enough to make her cry.'
I got up abruptly and walked out of the kitchen. I needed time to think. And it has to be somewhere where I can't hear her musical voice floating through the room. 'That woman doesn't know what she does to me.'
I walked into the room that Nick and I shared and plopped down on my bed. Silence was screaming at me when I thought about the possibility of Raye being with a different man. And kissing that man the way she had done to him on his first night here. Then his thoughts drifted to how much emotion she had put into that one kiss. At first it was surprise, then bliss, and soon there was an overpowering rush of passion and desire. And he had literally felt her melt in his arms and knew immediately that it was the way it should be.
But if he could only tell her that now. If only she'd believe him after that argument this morning. But she wouldn't, and I can live with that. I think...
