Helanie:
"I’m sorry, we were about to—" I uttered, shyly tucking my hair behind my ear.
"Kiss? I wish we had," Emt replied shalessly, standing outside the hostel with .
The glimard disappeared, and so did its glims and the snow. The temperature was back to how it should have been. The snow on the ground vanished like magic, too.
The others were so tired that they fell asleep after they transitioned to heal. It was just Emt and who stayed awake.
"How are you now?" he asked as I started walking beside him, strolling toward the ground.
The morning was arriving, and so were the brothers. They had inford Emt that they would be over in so ti.
"I’m good. I hate how I acted," I ntioned, rembering the ti I ran away because of the threats. But that was a scary day.
"Don’t ever do that again," he warned . As we walked side by side, I felt his hand brush against mine a few tis before he tangled his pinky finger around mine.
"I won’t," I replied, not sure if I was being honest.
"You have us now. We’ll make sure nothing happens to you," he reassured , his tone so comforting.
"How were you when I was gone?" I asked, noticing him steadily hold my entire hand in his.
"I’ll be honest with you—I was gone. I was lost. Norman told ... I almost didn’t even rember you."
I knew he was being honest and sharing his side with , but that part hurt . I slipped my hand out of his. He noticed and stopped walking, turning to face .
"I didn’t an it like that. I don’t know what’s going on with , Helanie. I’m forgetting things now—even you! And that’s what scares the most."
The sheer horror and sadness in his eyes sent goosebumps over my skin. I never wanted to see him so down. But the way he was talking made it seem like it was a serious matter. Even I had noticed it before, so I knew he wasn’t lying.
"Does your brother not know what’s going on?" I asked, worried about what would happen if he completely forgot about .
"Co with ," he said, holding my hand and quickly leading away—away from the sight of the hostel’s building.
Once we were behind the big trees, he pulled closer and spun around, pressing my back against the tree. He cupped my face in his hands and crashed his lips against mine.
My heart started skipping beats as he recklessly sucked my lips, almost like he had been hungry for years.
"I thought you wanted to say sothing," I managed to comnt between heavy breaths when we broke the kiss for a mont.
Instead of answering, he crashed his lips against mine again, shoving his tongue into my mouth.
I instantly sucked on his lips hungrily, like a starving tigress.
"I am speaking... just to your soul," he mumbled, breaking the kiss only slightly before sucking on my upper lip again.
I pulled on his bottom lip, letting him pull even closer.
This ti, he turned us around so he could lean back and pull onto his chest, my entire body weight resting on him. He spread his legs so I could fit perfectly between them.
His hands were holding my back before slowly moving down to grope my ass. That was new to .
I hadn’t had such interactions with anyone before. I had only shared a kiss with Kaye and made out a little with Maximus. But Emt was different. His usual calm body language would shift into sothing more aggressive—like a beast who wanted to touch everywhere.
We stayed like that, kissing and exploring each other. I mostly focused on his upper body, but his hands had slipped into my pants a long ti ago. He had been massaging my ass for a while before I finally broke the kiss.
"I want to take you away from here for a while, even if it’s just for a day," he said, his forehead resting against mine. He wouldn’t stop giving sweet, gentle pecks on my lips the whole ti.
"I would love that too," I agreed, and he instantly smiled.
However, my eyes caught sothing on the side, and I pulled away from his arms. He looked offended, even pouting a little.
But I walked over to the side, plucked a flower, and returned to him while he watched with those sexy eyes and a smirk that made my heart race.
"This is for you," I said shyly, extending my hand with the flower.
His eyes stayed on my face, making lower my gaze even more. Then, he gently accepted the flower, brushing his fingers against mine.
"Forget--not?" he smiled at the flower, staring at it.
"I don’t want you to ever forget ," I mumbled, realizing just how far gone I was in love with him.
I hadn’t even realized I had such a crush on him until I pushed past my trauma and accepted that I deserved happiness, too.
"What if... so crazy twist of events makes forget about you?" His question hit hard, my chest tightening at the thought of not seeing myself reflected in Emt’s eyes.
"Then I’ll make you rember ," I said confidently. His smile widened.
"I will spend the rest of my life doing my best to stay by your side and make sure you never forget ."
He kept watching my face, but slowly, his smile started to fade.
"What happened? Did I say sothing wrong?"
Honestly, I had grown up in a way that sudden changes in mood and expression ant trouble. So, it was instinct to ask.
"No, you did nothing wrong. It just reminded of sothing," he muttered.
"Soone once gave a forget--not, but hers had a lot of thorns. I rember how they pricked my skin—" he lowered his head and stared at his fingers before sighing and looking up. "I’m sorry! So, what were we saying?" he asked, trying to move past it.
But I had heard it.
Soone had given him a flower. Who?
And was she that important that he still rembered her?
