Mateo - Book two - Famiglia

Ospedale

" W-what ? What do you mean ? I'm your sister Laura. " Laura stared hurt in her eyes.

" Guys she has a little memory lost but it may be temporary or long term we don't know yet. " I mumbled to them ashamed I'd caused this.

" Well this is going to be a little weird ? " Michael blew out a breath. " We have so much on our plate she needs to remember. This isn't good. "

" I know that Michael it was an accident and she wasn't wearing her seatbelt. I should have paid more attention and realized that. " I palmed my face.

" Well let's get her home. " Laura said her arms crossed still examining Lucy who looked at her strangely.

" Yeah that sounds like a good idea. " Michael quipped following after her.

" How long have we lived here ? And where is it that we live ? " Lucy asked as I opened the doors for her.

" Uhh we actually just got here today and this the united-states of America and we are in Wisconsin. " She blinked at me as we walked to Michaels car.

" Why did we just move here ? "

" It's a really long story I'm sure your not going to like at all fiorella. " I mumbled shaking my head.

" My name is Lucy. Who is this fiorella you keep saying. Is that a nickname or something ? " We both got in the backseat and I watched her put on her seat belt this time.

" Uhh not really it's just a term of endearment like honey or baby. It's Italian and it means little flower, it has lots of meanings actually. " I glanced at her and she was hanging onto my every word.

" Where's the rest of my family Laura ? Do we have any other family ? " Lucy asked and Laura twisted in her seat up front to look at her.

" Uhhh no no we don't it's just us Lucy. " She said and gave me a look that said don't say anything. I wasn't going to though I don't think Lucy needs to remember he abusive parents. That may be the only good thing that comes from this.

After that Lucy sat back silently looking out her window as we drove nearly forty miles back to the house. I turned and looked out my own window. The day has really turned around, first my dad agrees to help us then I get in a car accident and my girlfriend gets memory loss.

I'm about ready to collapse in my bed right now. I steal a glance at Lucy and notice she's asleep her body leaning completely to the other side of the car.

She's got to get her memory back. We've been through too much to explain.

We pulled up to the house this time two different guards stood outside the house. I went around to Lucy's side and opened the door. I grabbed her up in my arms as she was fast asleep I think they might've been the pain medicine. She instantly curled into me like she usually does when I put her to bed.

It's like even though her mind forgot her body did not. It's almost innate.

I carefully and quietly put her in the room beside the one that we were suppose to share. I'll sleep there and she'll sleep here ok sure she's going to be too uncomfortable to sleep in the sane bed with someone she doesn't remember.

I tucked her all in and closed the door gently. I went downstairs to find Michael cooking something on the stove.

" How is she ? " He asked without turning around. I sighed and sat at the counter.

" She's still asleep. Michael I've never fucked up this bad before. Like I don't think she even knows how bad this is. " I rubbed my temples as he turned around.

" Well brother, I can't say I feel you on this one but I understand what you must be going through. The woman your madly in love with doesn't have have clue who you are. " He sympathized.

" I just hope she remembers sooner or later cause there is so much that I would have to explain to her, so much that I don't want to explain to her. Like I could spare her of everything that's going on, spare her of her nightmares but then she wouldn't understand the danger she's in and if she remembers she's going to be angry that I lied in the first place. " I exasperated going to the fridge and pulling out a water.

" I had my men stock the fridge while you were gone. I'm making some pasta if your hungry. " He changed the subject looking back at what he was stirring. Well there's the average Michael always avoiding sensitive situations.

" I'm good Mike, this must be for Laura. "

" Yeah she had a craving for for some of my home made pasta, she did that little pout thing and next thing I'm stirring pasta. " He chuckled, his eyes rolling.

" Lucy does–well I guess she still does the same thing. One little pout and we are falling like spineless little boys. " I smiled at him as a memory of Lucy pouting just earlier today came into my mind.

" Yeah yeah yeah, Lucy's the one who taught her that, she didn't do that at first. She was just a whiner then next thing I know she's got this puppy dog pout on those pink lips and brother it drives me crazy. " He admitted while letting out a soft laugh.

" Me too brother me too. " I muttered grabbing another water and walking back upstairs to Lucy's room.

I peeked inside to see she was still sleeping. Well I'll just leave the water on the nightstand so when she wakes she's not so thirsty. I quietly walked in the room placing the bottle of water on the nightstand.

I couldn't help myself, I leaned down and kissed Lucy's head gently. Her eyes popped open like saucers and stared into mine for what seemed like a full minute.

" Mateo...I remember. " She whispered sitting up slowly. I say on the bed looking at her, my heart pounding.

" We–I am on the run from Roco Santana...and you are my boss and boyfriend ? It's still blurry but it's coming back. " She bit her lip looking at me.

" It's okay bambina don't stress over it. " I told her grabbing her chin as I did so I could look her fully in her eyes.

" I love you..." She kissed me hard, pushing me back slightly.

" I love you too Lucy. " I pulled away, I didn't want it to get too heated with her memory still not fully there.

" I was so worried about you and I'm so sorry this was my fault and it won't happen again. " I told her my voice pleading for forgiveness.

" Mateo it is my fault I was so hurt I didn't wear my seatbelt. Don't blame yourself besides my memory is coming back as we speak. " She gave me a small smile.

" You promised me something earlier today. " She batted her eyes. She's such a horn ball, and I love it. I couldn't even hold my laugh in.

" What's so funny ! " She pouted.

" You've just been in an accident and sustained memory loss but you remember me promising you sex ? " I laughed and she grumbled.

I pulled her to me so she sat in my lap. " Awwe don't pout baby. You know I always fulfill my promises. " I whispered and bit her ear.

" Well let's see if I remember what I wanted to do to you. " She purred and my breath caught in my throat as she grabbed me through my pants.

Maybe this day isn't so bad.
