Amy POV:
I don't remember much from before the accident except that me and Karma are fake dating and I met a girl named Lily. The doctors say I hit my head really hard on impact and it caused some temporary memory loss. That's why my head hurts when I try to remember things and why my mind feels like it's missing something. Every time Karma visits it seems like she stays for an even shorter amount of time than the time before. I miss her when she leaves and my heart hurts when she doesn't touch me. I don't know why but I feel like what I'm missing in my head has something to do with her. It's a good thing I have Lily for moments like these. At first she was in a state of shock that I had requested her company but I don't know why that would be shocking seeing as though we did make out and things had gotten really heated between us at the party. She hasn't left my side except when Karma comes and when that happens I can practically taste the tension radiating off the two. I wonder what's causing it but I never ask.
"Hey babe." Lily greets me verbally before kissing me. It don't know why but her lips don't taste like I want them to. What do I want them to taste like exactly? Lavender. I want lavender kisses. That's strange. I don't ever remember kissing someone who taste like lavender. Oh well, best not to dwell.
"Hey. Did you bring the stuff?" I asked looking from her eyes to her hands where a small tote hung.
"Of course I did. How could I forget? You texted me twenty times to remind me." She laughs when I pretend scowl at her. She hands over the clothes I asked her to bring and slowly climbs onto my bed starting at my feet, wearing a seductive grin that makes my heart and something else fill with heat.
"You wanna know what my favorite part of picking out your clothes was?" She's at my knees, still crawling towards me.
"What?" my voice is husky and low as I watch her intently while she makes her way towards my waist.
"Picking out your underwear." She breathes this into my neck and lightly brushes her lips against the skin there. My skin crawls and I'm actually surprised to find that I'm not sure if it's because of the attraction or if it's out of repulsion. I gulp and try and clear my head. Lily is nipping at my ear when I hear someone clear their throat behind us. Karma is standing in the doorway wearing an expression I can't quite decipher. Lily sighs and looks up only to go a little rigid against my neck. She reluctantly slides off of me but not before giving me a deep, heated kiss on the lips. I know it's a sign of possession but I don't understand why. Karma and I aren't together like that, though I wish she could love me. I know my mind is safer to follow than my heart because my heart is telling me to push Lily away and sprint to Karma. I know that's not a good idea though so I override my desire with reason to cancel it out. At least today I get to go home.
"I'll meet you at my car, okay babe?" Lily looks at me intently and cups my face in her hand before leaning in for another, more gentle kiss. I oblige but I notice my eyes are open and I'm looking at Karma. My stomach churns because she's staring back. She doesn't blink and she doesn't move. It's almost like she's trying to tell me something with that look. I don't know what it is but I'm pulled back into reality when Lily pulls away and leaves. Karma comes the rest of the way in and shuts the door behind her. She smiles shyly now and makes her way over to my bed.
"Hey Ames, ready to get out of here?" She asks while stroking the side of my face where Lily's hand had just been. The difference is, I feel a burning sensation when Karma touches me. I like it so much I close my eyes and lean into her hand.
"Mhm." I manage to hum my reply. She pulls away and stands back holding out her hand. I open my eyes and smile before taking her extended hand. She helps me up and then pulls me in to her making me gasp. I don't fight it and find myself inhaling her scent. She smells like...lavender? No that can't be right. I shrug it off and feel her pull away again.
"Sorry I just really missed you." She shrugs sheepishly while looking at the ground.
"I missed you too Karms." I smile at her and turn around to grab the bag of my dearly missed regular clothes. I'm excited to get out of these stupid patient clothes.
"Um, Amy?" I turn around and see Karma is still staring at the ground.
"Yeah?" I ask wondering what she's thinking about.
"Do you, ya know...need help putting on your clothes? I know your ribs are still hurting plus there's the cast and I just..." I cut her off with a laugh. She's so cute when she rambles.
"I would love some help, yes." She visibly relaxes and walks over to me, grabbing the hem of my hospital gown. She looks at me as if asking for permission and I blush a little and nod lifting my arms as far as I can before my ribs start hurting. She gently tugs the gown up and over my head. She's got a little more color in her cheeks now and I think I see her eyes quickly look me over. And am I going crazy, or are her pupils dilated?
Karma POV:
Keep it together Ashcroft. You don't want to scare her away do you? I mentally scold myself cause I know I'm blushing. Amy is giving me a look that makes me want to push her back on the bed and have my way with her. Wait. Did I just...? Now would be a good time to turn and run but I can't because there's a half naked Amy standing in front of me and I don't want to miss a moment of this. She's blushing slightly and she turns and mumbles,
"Maybe I should put my underwear on by myself though." I stare at her back before quickly scrambling to form a reply.
"Oh. Yeah. Okay. I'll just turn around." I spit out while doing just that. It takes her a good five minutes to change her underwear before she finally says,
"Okay, I'm decent again." I laugh to myself because she is more than decent, she is flawless. I walk towards her and reach around, grabbing the bag of clothes resting on the bed. I take out the pants she chose and kneel in front of her. She looks embarrassed to have to do this but she gentle places her hand on my shoulder to steady herself before stepping into the first pant leg and then the other. I pull them up her beautiful legs as slowly as possible without it being creepy. When I'm standing up all the way, still holding her belt loops I look into her eyes. She doesn't look like she's breathing. My breath catches in my throat as I move in closer to her. She close her eyes reflexively and her lips part. I love the way she reacts to me but I can't do this when she's with Lily. It's not fair. But then I remember how she had come into my room crying over something Lily had done and all my reasoning dissolves. Screw Lily and her feelings. Amy is mine. At this realization I decide to test the word out loud.
"Mine." I whisper so close to Amy's lips I can practically feel them. Her gasp is cut off by my lips pressing into hers. The shock of it sends jolts to my heart that cause it to kick start again. This is how it's supposed to be. I keep kissing her letting my passion seep into her. I want her to feel how much I love her. I want to give her my health through this kiss and fix all her broken pieces. I lick her bottom lip and she moans. The sound is heaven to my ears and causes my heart rate to increase once again. I pull away and her lips slightly chase mine. I grab her cheek and plant a soft kiss on the small cut there. I then move to the bandage hiding her head wound and plant another kiss there. She's smiling but her eyes are still closed and her hands move unsurely to my waist. It's a small gesture but it sends small shivers down my spine nonetheless. I lower myself until I'm kneeling before her again and I kiss the bruises that lie on her smooth stomach. Her eyes are open now and the look she's giving me is almost carnal. She grabs my face and pulls me up so her lips can reach mine and it's all the okay I need to push her towards her bed. Her lips are needy yet giving. I'm ready to start taking off my clothes when I'm snapped back into reality. I'm standing in front of Amy and she's giving me a strange look.
"You okay Karma? You kinda zoned out for a while there..." She says. I give a small laugh and nod.
"Yeah I'm good. I just...yeah it's nothing, sorry." She shrugs in acceptance and hands me the bag before taking off her hospital gown. I wish I could go back to how things were going in my head. I was falling head over heels for this girl and she had no idea, but I was planning on making her fall just as in love with me as I was with her. I put on a smile and repressed my feelings as I helped her put her clothes on. I need her to remember what happened before her accident before any of what I daydreamed can come true. I need her to tell me why she came in to my room crying that day. I need her to know I'm not scared to love her. I need her to need me.
Amy POV:
My head hurts a little after I've dressed. I lean back against the bed as my head throbs. I close my eyes and see Lily and Lauren. What are they doing? Why is my evil step sister in my head at a moment like this? And why does she have her wallet out and her fingers on a bunch of bills. What is this? Is she dealing drugs to Lily or something? Am I dreaming? It dawns on me then. This isn't a dream, it's a memory.
