CHAPTER 14

FORGOTTEN LOVE

Her dreams took her to back to a place that was not familiar to her mind but her heart felt at home. It was Bastille Day in Paris and the fireworks lit of the sky. When she turned around there was a tall handsome blonde man standing there in front of her; he looked at her with such longing in his eyes that it made her heart beat faster. As he moved in closer, she began to tremble. Her body was on fire as his strong hands captured her face and brought it closer to his lips. When his mouth touched hers, her body began to respond. She wrapped her hands around his neck and kissed him back with everything that she was.

The kiss was intense and she could not help but feel alive with his every touch. He reached around to unbutton the top of her dress, leaving her bare shoulders exposed. As his hands glided down her petite frame she could feel every part of her wanting this stranger. He was beautiful beyond any man that she could recall and his blue eyes reached deep into her soul. With every kiss she lost a little more of herself and became one with this man. " Make love to me" she said, as she dropped her dress to the floor.

Erica wake up, wake up! She opened her eyes reaching out for this man in her dreams, but he was not there. Instead she found herself back in this room, in this place, with this man that she did not know. It's ok Erica he said as he stood over her bed, you were just dreaming. There was such sadness in her eyes that troubled him deeply. As he reached over to comfort her, he softly asked her "do you want to tell me about your dream?"

She pulled away suddenly feeling a little lost now. " I, she started to say before she began to cry, I was dreaming about my heart but I don't know who it belongs to". He was obviously confused by her statement as he reached in to touch her face. She took a deep breath and began to tell him about her dream and how she felt safe with this man in this place, but she could not recognize him. Before she could speak another word he gently placed his fingers over her mouth and softly spoke,

" It's ok you are safe here. In time you will
remember everything that you need to,
but for now you need to
concentrate on getting better".

When he left, Erica could not help but bring her mind back to the man of her dreams. She rolled over and grabbed the pillow from underneath her head allowing this man's imagine to consume her mind. She softly whispered,

"Who are you, and why aren't we together".

She had so many questions, and it seemed no answers. Her Memory was coming back pieces by piece and her every thought was centered around this tall blonde man. Images of him flashed in her mind, heart, and soul allowing his arms to wrapped around her and keep her safe.

She drifted off to sleep again, allowing the thoughts of her lover to join her in the land of dreams. The feel of his breath against her bare skin was more than she could handle as the passion brewing inside her found an outlet. She opened his shirt, button by button, until the only thing left was the sight of his bare chest. She traced her tongue along his muscular chest, making her way up the path to his neck where she remained for several minutes. The feel of her tongue sent a shiver down his spine and reached every sense of passion he had in his body. As he lifted her in his arms and carried across the room to her bed, he realized he could no longer allow himself to play a passive role. He gently placed her on the bed in front of him so that he was now looking down at her and slowly moved his tongue along her leg. He made his way up her body until he reached her hand and gently brought it up to his mouth and licked her fingers one by one. Her breath was heavy with passion and neither had any doubts where this evening was going. As he reached in to kiss her, she called out his name.

"Jack, Jack, I love you Jack".

The sound of her voice screaming out for Jack awoke her suddenly. She opened her eyes with a new sense of awareness about the man in her dreams. Through the door, Erica could hear a man running down the hall towards her. As her door opened suddenly, a light shone over her and everything was clearer. She remember Jack and the love they shared..and the accident..she remember that as well. The only thing she was not sure about was why she was in this place with this man. As he came closer towards her bed she looked at him with a sense of relief and acknowledgement. He smiled at her with such delight that it warmed both of their hearts. She laughed at the thought of all these days that she had spent with him and never realized how close to her heart he was and she softly said, "I know you, all this time I have known you".
