"Oh thank God you're awake! Sarah, is everything alright? Are you feeling okay? I thought I lost you again." I said quite frantically as I hug her tightly.
She still seem a bit confused. Barely making an eye contact.
"I called your doctor. You have no idea how worried I was when I found you unconscious on the floor in my living room."
She massaging her head with her one hand while I was still holding the other.
She glance at our hands for a second before finally making an eye contact.
"What's going on? What happen?" She asked in a low voice almost a murmur.
The doctor came inside.
I stood up to let the doctor check on her.
"Is she going to be okay?" I asked the doctor.
"Everything is fine. All the test came back normal. The patient just need some rest." Her doctor said optimistically.
I smile in relief.
"Thank you doctor." I said.
After we were left alone in the room. I sat on the side of her bed.
"It's good thing it wasn't anything serious. I was really worried about you." I said sincerely
I saw her shaking her head a few times.
"Sarah.."
I reach out and caress her cheeks softly which brought her attention back to me.
I caught her blushing.
"How are you feeling? Really?" I asked softly.
"Confuse.." she replied.
She cough and spoke again. "My head is just a bit fuzzy."
I kiss her forehead.
"I should have just stayed home with you." I said regretting my decision of leaving her alone at home.
"Home?" She repeated.
"How was your breakfast with your mom?" I asked curiously. "I'm sorry I forgot to call her because I panic and rush you immediately to the hospital."
She closed her eyes for a minute and took a deep breath.
"What's going on?" She asked again. I can barely hear her words.
She looks really tired.
"How about you get some more rest. Don't worry I wont leave your side." I said affectionately.
She smile and held my hand, giving it a light squeeze.
"Not a dream?" She said unsure.
I looked at her confused
.
"Drugs given to you must be really strong." I said jokingly.
She fell asleep shortly.
---
The next day, I brought Sarah back to my place.
"Are you sure you are already feeling okay?" I asked again.
I can't help but think that maybe she is still not feeling a bit better.
"How many times are you going to ask me that?" She asked jokingly.
"I just want to make sure.." I said smiling.
I walk to my kitchen and prepare for something to cook.
She look around the living room before settling down and finally taking a seat.
"You're cooking?" She asked amused.
"I thought you might be hungry. Hospital food isn't exactly appealing your appetite right?" I said while turning on the stove.
She stood up and went to my side. She watch me as I cook for her.
"Here give it a taste." I said as I give her a spoonful of my special chicken shrimp recipe.
"Wow, it's perfect." She said while licking her mouth.
I lean down to give her a kiss.
That startled her for some reason.
I put down the spoon and turn off the stove.
"What's wrong?" I asked confused.
Her face was bright red.
"O- no–nothin.." She replied.
"Are you ok–?" She cut me off by grabbing my face with both of her palms. She pulled me for a passionate kiss.
"Wow! Chill out. How about breakfast before dessert?" I asked while catching my breath.
She laughed and start moving to help me prepare the table.
"We look like a married couple.". She said while bumping shoulders with me.
We both giggle of the thought of us being married.
We sat next to each other as we eat.
"Is your flight today?" I asked curiously.
She seem unaware of what I'm asking.
"Your hotel? I mean aren't you going back yet? My mom wanted to confirm because she wants to personally pick you up in the airport. I told her about what happen.. about you passing out. She's also very worried about you." I explained.
"Oh yeah.. of course. My flight." She said nodding.
She quickly scan on her phone and gave me a smile.
She showed it to me. "Flight about seven in the evening." She said.
"Okay I'll tell my mom." I said nodding my head.
"You're not coming with me?" She asked curiously.
"I'll have Tyler clear my schedule so I can drive you to the airport later." I replied.
"Oh okay.. that's great." She said while she finished her food.
I was already about to finished mine.
I caught her staring at me.
"What is it Sarah?" I asked turning my attention to her.
She looked away feeling self-conscious.
"Nothing, I just can't believe we're together like this." She said blushing.
I held her hand in mine.
"Yeah I know." I said giving her hand a peck.
After we finished our meal, I clear the table and wash the dishes. I told Sarah to rest in my room which she instantly opposed. She sat on my dining as she waited for me.
I took off my apron and smiled at her.
"Now where were we?" I asked with a flirtatious tone.
I extended my arm to her as we walk hand in hand to my bedroom.
I swirl and turn her to face me. Her hands landed on my chest while I held her back, pulling her closer me.
I kiss her.
She responded to my kiss passionately.
I held her back firmly as we lie down on the bed with me on top of her.
She look a bit nervous and excited at the same time.
"Are you sure this is okay?" I asked.
Maybe I shouldn't be having s*x. She just got out of the hospital and instead of resting, here we are doing this.
She place her hands on my shoulders.
"More than okay." She replied before going back for another kiss.
My hands travel on her body.
She lift herself up and I start undressing her.
She reach up for my skirt and start unzipping me down while I was busy kissing her neck..
Everything was going smoothly.
My hand travel down between her thighs.
I pulled back just to look at her face without stopping. Her eyes were close and I can hear and feel her heavy breathing. I kiss her earlobe sensually as I slid her underwear to the side. I touch her directly.
She start moaning when I played with her cl*t.
"This is! Wow..." She grab my hair and pulled me closer.
I kiss her again and play with her tongue.
I travel my kisses down to her body. I stop when I reach her center.
She look at me hesitantly when I start removing her panties.
I toss it down the bed and when I looked back, she was already covering herself with her hands.
I scratch the back of my hair.
"Still shy?" I asked joking.
Her whole face turned red as she nodded.
"Don't be.." I spoke softly.
I held her hands and place them on each side of the bed.
I slowly went down on her.
Her nervousness is making me nervous. Our first time felt just like this.
"Ahhh! Wow.. It feels so.." she grip the bedsheet tightly.
She arched her body when I start sucking her.
"So good.." she said a bit loudly.
She is almost out of breath.
"O!!!! Woah... Slow down.. O! Sh*t! Please.." she begged when I pick up the pace.
Hearing her calling me out "O" set me off.
I pulled back and stood out of the bed.
"Hey I said to slow down, not stop." She said.
"Did you just call me O?" I asked confused.
"Huh? What?" She was confused as well.
She cover herself using my blanket.
I completely ruined the mood didn't I?
"Sorry, it's nothing." I replied silently.
"What's going on? Did I say something wrong or something?" She asked worriedly.
I shook my head and pick up something to wear.
"I'll just get some water. Do you need anything?" I said while trying to break the unpleasant atmosphere.
"Crap!" I mutter under my breath when I reach my kitchen.
After drinking some water, I wash my face and went back to my room to see her.
She was checking on her phone.
"Sorry.." I apologize.
She place her phone back to my desk.
"What just happen?" She asked softly.
I sat in front of her.
"I think I just needed a little break. Sorry, I ruin the mood." I said feeling guilty as I should.
"It's fine.. things like that happen I guess." She replied while dressing up.
I clear my throat.
"How.. How's your head?" I asked trying to open a topic.
"I'm feeling fine. Don't worry." She replied.
"I mean how's your memory?" I clarified.
She avoided my gaze.
"You know how it is.." she paused for a bit.
"Via?" She look back at me with mixed emotions.
I'm not quite sure how to describe it.
"Yup?" I said waiting for her to continue.
"C'mon lie down with me." She said while tapping on the bed.
I smiled and lie down next to her.
We were both looking up the ceiling.
She moved closer. Our fingers touching.
"Can I ask you a question?" She started.
"About me ruining the mood earlier?" I asked back.
"Uh no, but you already said you just needed a break.."
"Yes. I know I'm sorry. Are you upset?"
She intertwined our fingers together.
"You left me hanging, can't say it's cool." She replied giggling.
I glance at her and smile. "Sorry should I give it another try?" I joked.
She pushed me playfully.
"No more.. Let's just stay like this." She suggested.
I kiss the side of her head.
"What is it that you want to ask again?"
"Nevermind, it's not important. I'm just happy." She replied.
I shift on the bed and cuddle her around.
"Me too. I'm so glad you came to see me. It's been one of the best week I've had." I said giving her a warm embrace.
We fell asleep afterwards.

Sarah's POV
I'm on the plane right now.
O didn't leave my side until I got inside the plane.
I touch my lips.
I can't believe this is real.
I can still feel our kiss from earlier.
She and I..
I don't know how this happens but I'm just so happy right now!
The last thing I remember was graduation.
That's why I got so confused when I woke up in the hospital. Apparently it's already been more than three years since then.
I only found out when I check on my phone.
O and I almost had sex earlier too!!
I can feel my face burning up when I remember how she went down on me.
"Uh that was so hot!" I yelled internally.
Anyway, what better to do than check on my phone right?
I check on my photos and blush when I realize how many photos I got of O.
Some are even stolen shots.
She is a lot more beautiful now. I mean she's always been beautiful but her whole energy is just on another level. I guess part of it is because she's not just a simple aspiring celebrity.
She's living her dream.
Winning multiple awards in all different countries.
She's a star.
I'm so proud of her.
For a second, I though we are now living together when she mention home.
Gosh, how I wish it was true. She said I now own my own hotel. I guess I followed my parent's footsteps. Which is to be expected of me anyway.
I look through my messages.
One thing caught my attention.
I definitely don't call her O anymore.
Was that the reason why she was on edge this morning?
She asked me about my memories but I couldn't bring myself to say that I partly had it back.
I was afraid that she would hate me if she knew.
Ugh! This is kinda frustrating.
I'm trying to rack my brains from all the things that I miss.
How did we made up again? She forgave me enough to accept me back as her girlfriend so..
Wait a minute,
Am I really her girlfriend?
Are we just like friends?...
With benefits??
"Aaaaa" I looked around my past messages just to be clear.
And to my relief, yes.. she is my girlfriend.
Messages confirm that.
I was too afraid to ask questions because I don't know how she would react. I can't have her hating me again.
---
After a few hours, I arrive at the airport and looked around for aunt Liza. We met shortly and she drove us back to the hotel.
She asked me about my trip and we had a nice long conversation.
She was also a bit worried about my fainting incident but I did assure her that everything was fine.
After some time, I settled at my office and familiarize my work.
It was a lot easier than I thought.
I'll have to put all of my business skills to good use.
Managing this hotel might be a lot of work but I think I can do just fine.
Feeling inspired, I start reading the files on my desk.
