Don't Forget Me

Marley kissed him tightly until she seriously couldn't breathe anymore. Instead, she then pulled away, panting as she rested her head on his shoulder and smiled to herself. "That was nice..." She said in a weak voice, smiling up at him now. She had been dreaming of this moment again since they had been separated - and now it was finally happening.

Ethan groaned into the kiss a little, unable to hold it back any longer. It felt so good kissing her. He let his hands go up to her neck, running his hands through her hair in the joy that he was feeling to kiss her. There it was... He could feel it... A memory of kissing her the first time...

Jon breathed out in disbelief, realizing that he was on the verge of a memory when she had pulled away. Smiling a bit, he nodded and held her closer to himself. "It was," he muttered softly, though he couldn't refrain from pressing his lips to hers again. He wasn't sure if it was because he was so close to the memory or if it was just because he enjoyed kissing her so much - though he was pretty sure it was the latter.

Claire grinned against his lips after hearing the slight noise that had escaped him. Her arms wrapped around his neck, her fingers played with the ends of his hair, enjoying the feeling of being so close to him almost as much as she was enjoying kissing him. If she was being honest, she didn't really want to move away from this spot with him.

Marley kept her arms tight around his neck and smiled. Her heart was beating like crazy and she couldn't believe it,.. She had never been so happy for something in her life. All of this time she had kept her heart set on him and now it had finally happened. She fell for him long ago and no she was finally getting to be with him. She rested her head on his shoulder and sighed. "I missed you so much," she said with a giggle.

Ethan continued to hold her close. He kissed her deeply, running his hands up and down her back happily. He had never felt so good when he was kissing someone - and she was certainly the most beautiful girl that he had ever been with... He was sure of it. He didn't pull away - not when he needed to breath or anything. He just wanted to keep her this close to him.

Jon grinned after hearing her words, though he wasn't sure how to respond to them. Though he was certain that he would have missed her if he had remembered her. Holding her close to him, he rested his head above hers, honestly not quite understanding how somebody could ever make him feel the way she made him feel. "I'm glad you're here," he murmured softly.

Claire grinned against his lips, shuddering at the feeling of his hands running along her back. Eventually, she pulled away and pressed her forehead to his, trying to catch her breathe after how long the kiss had lasted.

Marley was still in shock that she was holding onto him like this. She kept her arms around his neck tightly, nuzzling as deeply into him as she possibly could. How lucky was she to come home and have him fall for her - even after he didn't remember her? "You have no idea - I'm glad you're here! When you acted like you didn't know me, I thought I had lost you... It's nice to know I didn't ," she whispered into his ear.

Ethan smirked as he pulled away from the kiss, and he ran a hand through her hair as her forehead rested up against his. "Wow," was the only thing that he could say for a long time. He wasnt used to having a girl that he was crazy about when he first met her - she felt so new, even though there were vague memories of being with her. "You sure we were only best friends?!" He teased.

Jon chuckled a bit to her words before moving to kiss her forehead, grinning broadly. "I'm still sorry about that," he said honestly, brushing away a few strands of hair and tucking them behind her ear. Honestly, he couldn't remember ever being this happy before and he wondered how things would have been if she had come back sooner. Knowing that she was here now, though, he was rather content. "How about we finish our game of bowling?"

Claire laughed softly, smiling at him and rolling her eyes a bit. "Don't make me tell that story again," she mused, sticking her tongue out at him before adjusting herself on his lap so that she could lean her head against his shoulder, letting herself relax. She was honestly rather thankful that, despite that he didn't remember her, things had turned out good for them. Perhaps it was better this way, anyways; if he had remembered, who knew if he would have wanted her still?

Marley smiled as he kissed her forehead and she tried to get herself even closer to him. She liked being so comfortable in his arms and she hoped this wasn't just a fluke - she hoped he was really feeling this way at the moment. It was amazing. She was brought back into reality in his words and she nodded her head. Even if she would rather stay just like this, she would be okay with that. "You're right - we should."

Ethan smiled as she adjusted herself in his arms so that he was holding on tightly to her and she had her head on his shoulder. "It's not like I'm complaining - it seems to me that the story has a good ending. That's always a good thing to me!" He kissed her cheek and then nuzzled into her lightly.

Jon smiled to her agreement, though he was slow to release his hold on her. "Whose turn was it again?" he asked with a chuckle. He knew he could just look up at the screen to find out, but he refused to tear his eyes from her, not wanting to miss a moment of taking in her features and enjoying her presence. It surprised him quite a bit, the hold she had on him.

Claire smiled slightly and rolled her eyes, relaxing into his hold as she let out a sigh of content. "Well, it does seem to have a good ending," she agreed in a sing-song voice as she closed her eyes for a few moments, enjoying being in his arms like she was. She had missed being near him and didn't want to move from that spot with him at all.

Marley blinked up at him nervously, blushing slightly at the fact that he was still holding onto her so tightly. "I..." She started and then she stopped for a moment. "I think it was your turn." They hadn't gotten very far - it seemed like they had only begun the game. Hadn't they? He was showing her how to play...

Ethan noticed her rolling her eyes and he chuckled lightly, wondering what that was for. "Seem to?" He asked, pretending to be self-conscious about it. He kissed her forehead and then just continued to hold her. "You know... So much for watching a movie like this!" He chuckled and then shrugged. "We missed a good part of it."

Jon thought about her answer for a few moments, trying to recall. Eventually, he nodded, slowly releasing his hold on her. "Well, then, let's finish this game quickly," he murmured with a from before giving her a quick kiss on the lips and going to take his turn. It was strange how he already missed having her in his arms. Had he been like this when she had moved away?

Claire smiled to herself, nodding to his words. "To think we were watching a scary movie, too," she mused quietly, nuzzling against him as she let out a sigh of content. "I would have expected the screams from the movie to distract us." It was almost amusing that she hadn't even heard any noise from the movie while she had been so enticed with her time with him.

Marley wrapped her arms around herself when he released her. She felt almost empty without having his arms around her so she felt like she had to replace that emptiness. She loved his little peck on her lips... It made her heart soar. "Quickly?" She asked teasingly when she had captured her mind's attention again. "What's the rush?"

Ethan held onto her tightly, chuckling at her words and sighing as he felt her nuzzle into him. He felt so lucky to have her. "Are we sure the movie was even playing?" He asked with a chuckle. "I didn't hear it at all... Maybe we forgot to even out it on. Either way - I'm glad we weren't distracted."

Jon chuckled quietly at her words, looking over to her with a grin. "Because, then, I can have more time to spend with you, rather than having to try to force my attention into the game," he pointed out, his grin softening to a smile as he eyed her. It amazed him how much of an impact she had on him in such a short amount of time.

Claire smiled as she relaxed in his arms, shrugging slightly. "I'm pretty sure it was playing, considering I kept getting just a little scared of it," she pointed out. "But, I'm glad we weren't distracted as well." She couldn't help but to feel grateful that she was back in his arms, that he wasn't thinking she was crazy anymore.

Marley's face turned a shade of red to his words. She could to believe he felt that way... How amazing was that? "Yes - I don't like the attention on the game either - but we have to finish the game, Jon," she said teasingly, wanting to wrap her arms around him again. It felt weird not being in his arms. She had grown comfortably used to it.

Ethan chuckled, running his hands up and down his back softly since he really wanted to hold her close. "Yes - I know you're right, but I still don't believe it!" He teased. "You've enchanted me - I barely know what's going on except for you!" He kissed her nose. "I'm glad we weren't distracted."

Jon chuckled quietly and nodded. "Exactly my point!" he mused with a grin before he took his turn, managing to knock down eight pins. He wanted for the game to end already, to be able to return his attention to her. It was obvious that the bowling alley had been a poor choice of place to go, since it only prolonged how long it would take to just be enveloped in her presence again. "So, let's hurry up and finish it."

Claire giggled quietly, enjoying the attention she was receiving from him as she nodded slightly. "I can't help but to be glad to hear that," she admitted quietly. She didn't care if it was selfish. Knowing that he was so distracted by her just made her happy; she couldn't help it.

Marley giggled as she pretended to roll her eyes at him. She gave him a hug before she went up to play and then smiled back at him. "We'll be done before you know it!" She teased. Honestly, she wished it would just be over soon too, but she wasn't going to be annoying about it. She didn't want to push him away by pulling him closer.

Ethan smiled as she giggled and nuzzled into her neck gently. "I like it," he said softly. "What am I going to do with you, my little enchantress?" He teased. His hands tightened around her and he was happy that this had happened. All of this... He had missed all of this with her before. He wasn't letting it go now.

Jon grinned at her words and nodded eagerly. "Let's hope so!" he announced, his tone reflecting his otherwise obvious cheerfulness. He couldn't help it. Something about her brought out something in him that he wasn't aware existed. She just made him genuinely happy. "The faster we're done, the more time we'll get to spend together."

Claire smiled as she relaxed against him, closing her eyes for a few moments as she sighed with content. "I don't know," she teased quietly, opening her eyes to grin up at him before she rested her head against his shoulder. "There's not much you can do with an enchantress, right?" She grinned, obviously just joking.

Marley giggled and rolled his eyes. She had been in love with him her whole life... This was amazing. She had never been expecting him to be so happy to spend time with her... At least not time together like boyfriend and girlfriend. She put her bowling ball down and placed her hands on his knees where he sat, leaning down to kiss him quickly. "You're impatient!" She teased. Then she went and took her turn bowling quickly.

Ethan smiled as she sighed and he liked that she seemed to be so content here. It was amazing. Never in a million years would he think that he would be falling for his old best friend like this... Not that he even remembered her to begin with... "No, nothing at all - just enjoy it!" He teased, leaning forward and kissing her lips quietly.

Jon couldn't help but to grin as he watched her, having enjoyed the quick kiss quite a bit. "Of course I'm impatient!" he announced with a chuckle before he shook his head. "Who wouldn't be when they're looking forward to spending time with their gorgeous girlfriend?" He was pretty sure that it was the first time he was using the 'g word,' but he liked it quite a bit.

Claire grinned against his lips as she enjoyed the kiss while it lasted. "Yeah, I suppose you're right about that," she murmured softly in a teasing tone, enjoying how close they were. It made her happy, knowing that they were together now and she didn't plan on letting anything ruin what they had, not again.

Marley smiled looking back at him questioningly at his words. Girlfriend? He was already ready to call her his girlfriend?! She certainly wouldn't protest, it was just... She hadn't imagined it happening so quickly. "I know - and I want to spend time with my amazing boyfriend too..." She said in a nervous tone. He was her first legitimate boyfriend... It was crazy. She had always loved him.

Ethan smiled as he held her close. "I never thought I would have the most beautiful girl in the world as my girlfriend... It's quite amazing actually!" He said with a smile, brushing some hair from her face and running his hand through her hair loving. Who would've thought...

Jon couldn't help but to grin at hearing her call him her boyfriend. It had been a long shot to call her his girlfriend, but it seemed to have been okay in the end and he was thankful for it. "I'm glad," he decided with a nod, "I like knowing that you want to spend more time with me, because I want to spend as much time with you as possible." There was a lot to catch up on, after all, and he wanted to fix that he didn't remember her.

Claire felt her cheeks heat up at his words, though she ended up smiling broadly. "With this coming from such a great boyfriend, I must be pretty lucky," she mused before she moved to bury her face in the crook of his neck, wishing for nothing more than to stay where she was, with him.
