Illusions Chapter 20

Chapter 20

The following week Bo and Nora were inseparable.  Nora felt such mixed emotions. She was so happy to have Bo back, she was practically bursting, but his lack of memories was often unintentionally hurtful. Nora spent most of her energy helping Bo through this, his frustration was high.  They’d be looking through pictures and he suddenly stand up and leave the room. She knew he was just mad at himself, but it was hard to watch.

She was also thankful the Drew had disappeared again. She just wanted to forget that part of her life. Bo never brought Drew up.

When they weren’t looking at pictures Nora would spend the day doing activities they would have done before his memory loss. Movies, junk food, dancing, going out with friends. She hope any of these would help him. While they helped Bo relax, it didn’t seem to be helping him get his memories. Today they decided to be lazy, Bo was sitting reading a book when Nora walked into the house with their lunch. He looked up and smiled.

“Hey beautiful, what you got?”
“Chinese.”
“Yes!”

Bo stood and helped her with all the food. They started to open and split things. Bo suddenly stopped.

“What is wrong? Bo?”
He looked over at her.

“Nothing, I just was thinking it is weird. I remember that I love General Tso’s chicken, but I can’t remember my own birthday.”
Nora put her food down and wrapped her arm around him. He held her, then kissed her neck. Nora moaned as his hands ran up and down her body. They kissed, it soon became passionate. Bo gently pushed her on the couch and started to removed her clothes. Nora felt the fire in her body that only Bo could create as his hands touched her bare skin. He pulled out their kiss long enough to finish removing her shirt and pants. Nora gasped and arched her body as he kissed down her body.

“Beautiful Red.”
Nora moaned then stilled. Bo looked up with concern.

“What is it? Is there something wrong? Nora?”
“You called me Red.”

Bo sat up and looked at her face with confusion.

“Uh, yeah I guess I did.”
Nora nearly cried. She sat up and hugged him tight.

“Oh Bo, you called me Red.”
“Is there something wrong with that? Do you not like that? I won’t call you that if you don’t me.”
Nora kissed him hard, silencing him.

“BO! That is my nickname. That is what you call me!”
Bo still showed confusion.

“Bo I never told you that.”
Bo eyes widen as he understood.

“You mean I remembered something on my own?”
Nora smiled and nodded.

Bo laughed and kissed her again. Then he put his forehead on hers. Nora sighed. Bo pulled back then looked down at her half naked body and smiled.

“I guess it just took me removing your clothes to get my memory jogged. Now just think all I could remember if I made love to you?”

Nora laughed, she kissed him gently but pushed him away.

“Bo we shouldn’t, we both lost our heads there. But I am not sorry one tiny bit.”

“Me either. Red.”
Nora laughed and pulled him to her again.

“Oh Bo, it’s a start, a wonderful start.”

Bo kissed her shoulder and held her tight. There was finally a little ray of hope for them to cling on to.
