Once up on an Us のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

I was in the confides of my home, but I wouldn't call it solitary or peace, because this felt far from either. It was more like a prison of the mind, with me ghosting everyone, ignoring all my texts and calls.I was all cooped up in my loft for six days now, crying and feeling sorry for myself.I didn't eat or shower. I just lay on the sofa.I felt numb. It felt as if I was going insane, and with each passing day, it was pushing me more and more to calling my psychiatrist.I missed Nick more than anyone could ever imagine, but with all that was going on, I'm slowly giving up.It was obvious that he was too caught up with Alba. They were like magnets. Wherever he went, she was there to follow, and vice versa.Even though Nessa and the others tried to reassure me that whatever he had with Alba was in the past, it wasn't like that for either of them.Nick's memories were in the past, to him they were still together, and that delusional girl had him eating out of her palms.But they can s

I couldn't step through the door fast enough before I removed my clothes. I felt icky from a busy day of selling houses and going by the boutique to update the styles.A knock sounded on the front door, causing me to stop fondling with my earrings to see who it was.I paused to look down at my attire, thinking that my black spaghetti strap blouse and half zipped black skit will have to do.I opened the door, shocked to see Nick, leaning with one hand on the doorjamb."Hey," I let out in a daze.He was dressed in full black. Wearing a black long-sleeved shirt, a tight black pants, black shoes, and a single gold chain around his neck. Looking like the Nick I was used to."Hey," he smiled that heart-stopping smile I loved so much."Do you want to come in?""Sure."I stepped aside to let him pass me."What are you doing here?""I was wondering if you would like to go on a date wi- with me?" He said nervously."A date?""Yes, you know. Just two people going out.""Oh, ok, sure. Let me go t

After both of us calmed down and got over the awkwardness, Nick looked around."What do we normally do?""Work, if not, we talk. Go on dates, play games or just cuddle.""That's it?""It is much better than it sounds.""And you play video games?""Yes, you thought I got the gaming system for you, but really I got it for myself because one player games is just no fun."Nick laughed, "that's smart.""Are you going to stay?" I asked, not meeting his eyes."I meant it when I said I want to try, because as much as I try to pretend or act as if- I can't help but think that there is something about you. You are truly amazing and beautiful. I know that if anyone else was in your place, they would have given up already.""I don't want to give up on you so easily, no matter how badly I wanted to. I kept telling self that you will remember me and things will get back to how they were."Nick gave me a small smile."Even if I can't remember you, I would rather to be here."I shook my head, because

"Well, now that that is out of the way. Let's enjoy the party." Nick said."Oh, come on, Can't Reign stay here?" Christenna pouted."Sorry, but the two of us have some catching up to do."Christenna rolled her eyes. “You're just being selfish.""Don't worry Chrissy, we will have our girl time soon enough."Nick kissed my hand before pulling me away."Sorry about what my mother did. I did not know she would have done such a thing.""There is no need to apologise now that it's all cleared up.""I would never divorce you, and I meant it when I said that even if my memories don't come back, I would still be with you."I smiled up at Nick, now believing his words.I tipped up to kiss him."You like hot, by the way.""I know."Nick cupped my face with one hand and caressed my cheek."I am one lucky man to have someone as kind and caring as you in my life.""Nicky, can I speak with you for a minute, please?" Alba's annoying voice came.Nick turned to her, "sure, what do you want?""In privat

Nick and I were basically inseparable a week after the party.He moved back in and we were sleeping in the same bed again.Making me think that this was it. The only thing left was for him to fully remember.When I walked into our workroom, I was shocked to see Nick sitting around his area with pencil in hand and nodding to the music being played.I went up behind him, throwing my arms around his neck."Hey there." I kissed his shoulder.He held onto my arms. ’’Hey.’’"What are you doing?""I thought that maybe coming in here would bring back some sort of memory, but I still don't understand a thing drawn on any of these papers.""It's fine. You don't need to rush yourself.""But that's the thing. I feel like I do. I what to remember so badly, because I hate that sad look on your face. I know you try to hide it, but it hurts me to know that you are feeling this way."I kissed his neck."Just don't push too much and if it makes you feel any better, I don’t understand anything on those
