Bianca was happy to discover she could cope quite well with the slow dance, as long as they only moved in a slow shuffle and she could hold tightly to Marissa. The holding tightly part was definitely the best bit. Bianca's hands were clasped to Marissa's hips and Marissa's hands rested on Bianca's shoulders; they're bodies moving together as they turned slow circles on the dance floor.

Bianca was mesmerised by the way Marissa was watching her, gazing at her with a sweet smile on her lips. It was moments like this that Bianca forgot about the amnesia. Marissa still seemed so sure, so confident that they should be together; it was as if that part of her had never changed. But how fast should they take this, how fast should this go? It had been only two weeks since their second first kiss, technically this was only their second date and people were already acting like they were moving in together.

Bianca felt confused by it all. Marissa was here in her arms and yet she missed her. No, they mustn't rush this; Bianca had to wait until Marissa was ready. She mustn't pressurise her or scare her off by coming on too strong. They were starting at the beginning once more, only this time it would be perfect because JR was no longer there to interfere. This time Bianca would woo Marissa properly, with dates and gifts and honesty. This time she was going to do it right.

Wasn't Adele playing in LA next week? Maybe they could fly out; take the kids and make a weekend of it? Or would that be too much? It would be nice to take the kids somewhere; AJ will need something to take his mind off his dad. The lake resort had plenty to keep the kids occupied and there was the spa for the grown-ups, but was that maybe too romantic a setting for a weekend away together? Bianca would find it hard to control her emotions and herself, just like last time. Where could they go?

There was always Disneyland…

"What are you thinking about?" asked Marissa, interrupting Bianca's inner thoughts.

"Just wondering where I should take you on our next date." said Bianca.

"You seem supremely confident there will be a next one." teased Marissa, her cheeky smile doubling in size. "I think I might need a convincer."

Bianca grinned too.

"Will this do?"

She pulled Marissa closer and kissed her. Soft, gentle kisses, which made both women sigh with delight as they continued their slow circles around the dance floor.

"I'm convinced." said Marissa, a little breathlessly as they pulled apart.

That was the main difference Bianca decided between this Marissa and who she was before; the kiss.

Before the amnesia, Marissa was always the one to initiate the kiss. She would smile, and lean in, pausing just a second before closing the gap between them. Bianca always thought of it as a starter kiss, Marissa giving her permission to then take charge. Now Marissa waited for Bianca to make the first move. She would lean, but Bianca was now the one to close the gap and initiate the kiss.

It was only a little thing, but it was enough of a reminder to Bianca that things had changed; that this Marissa was a new person and they were starting from the beginning once more.

Only this time she was going to do everything right!
