Remember Me

Chapter 11

I sat in bed after taking a quick shower and changing into my pjs. I smiled to myself as I replayed the events of today for probably the hundredth time. It was all so unbelievable. Now I need those pinches to wake me up if it were all a dream before I fall too deep.

I was about to grab my phone and tell Taylor all about it considering she missed out on the events, when my phone began ringing in my hand and I laughed as I saw her name as the caller ID. I picked up the phone and was met with Taylor screaming in excitement.

"OMG! YOU MET HIM?! HOW HOT WAS HE? WHAT DID HE SAY? WHAT DID YOU TALK ABOUT? WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION? DID YOU KISS? DID HE ASK YOU OUT? TELL ME EVERYTHING!!!!"

"CALM DOWN AND I'LL TELL YOU!" I couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay fine. Spill."

"Yes, I met him, in the most unexpected way may I say. He was very hot and good looking indeed. He seemed as shocked as I was. We talked about random stuff, really. Andrew left us early so we just walked around in the park. No, we didn't kiss but it was a close one. Well he kinda did ask me out but not on a date, ya know. We're going to the movies tomorrow. Taking it slow and all that. He did promise me a date soon though," I smiled as I remembered our last conversation while he was walking me back home.

*Flashback*

"I know it's still way too early for us to start dating so that is why I want to take things slow with you. I want it to work out. I want to treat you right. So how about we go hang out at the movies tomorrow and maybe have some dinner? It's not a date because I mean what kind of first date would going to the movies be. But anyways, I promise I'll be taking you out on many dates but I really just want to see you tomorrow so if you don't want to-"

I cut him off because he started rambling nervously, which I found very cute, "Yes, I would love to hang out with you at the movies tomorrow."

The smile he gave me after took my breath away. If he keeps this up, I really hope I can manage to take it slow with him.

"Really? Great! I'll come pick you up at like 6? Then we can go have dinner if you want of course."

"I'd like that."

"Oh and one more thing. Hand me your phone so I can enter my number. It's about time we started chatting like normal people," he chuckled.

I smiled and handed him my phone as he gave me his. We exchanged numbers then looked up at each other. I couldn't help it so I stepped closer and wrapped my arms around his neck, hugging him for the first time. I smiled against his skin as he snaked his own arms around my waist and held me close. His embrace felt very protective as he wrapped his big arms around my frail figure. I sunk into the warmth of his body and closed my eyes. The world around me melted away as I squeezed him gently, not wanting the moment to end.

I pulled away first causing him to pout cutely and me to awe. I was so close to giving in and hugging him again.

"If you want another hug now, you'll get none tomorrow," I said teasingly.

"Fine fine. You win."

"Well, until then," I smiled and started to walk up to my front door.

"Goodnight, Jasmine."

"Goodnight, Elijah."

*end of flashback*

"JASMINE????"

I snapped out of the wonderul memory, remembering that I was on the phone with a very impatient Taylor.
