Justin's POV: 

Carter is standing there in shock, his suitcase in one hand as he's staring at the two of us. I have no idea what to do right now. I'm just trying to figure out how to make this not look so bad. I told Reina that it would be okay to do this, I'm the one that talked her into it. I feel like shit. 

"What the fuck is this?" He asks, completely dumbfounded. 

We're both silent, unsure of what to say. That seems to anger him more because he pushes the suitcase to the side and storms over towards me, nostrils flaring and fists clenched. I had a feeling he'd want to punch me. 

"Carter, I'm so sorry." Reina whispers, biting on her lip to keep from crying. "I was going to tell you. I promise. I just didn't know-"

"You didn't know what? You didn't know how to keep your legs closed?"

"Alright." I mutter angrily. "That's enough. I talked her into doing this, Carter. This is my fault. She wanted to wait, but I-"

His fist slams into the side of my face before I can say anything more. I should be angry, but I get it. I deserved a punch. I watch him begin to pace back and forth before he sits down onto the chair next to the couch and puts his face into his hands. "Just get out." He finally says. 

"Carter..." Reina sniffles, wrapping the blanket tighter around her. "Look, I'm so sorry. I didn't know that I was going to get my memory back. That doesn't make what we did okay, but I'm just so sorry. Please don't hate me."

"I was going to propose." He finally replies, causing the whole room to grow quiet. 

The silence is too thick, and when he says he was going to propose I want to punch him straight in the face like he just did to me. If he thinks that he'd ever get her he's so wrong. With her memory gone I couldn't be certain of that, but now that she remembers everything he doesn't have a shot in hell. She knows that she will always belong to me. 

"You were going to propose?" She asks, completely in shock. 

"That's why I came home early. I was going to surprise you. That is until you decided to fuck your ex and cheat on me."

More silence fills the room, and all Reina can do is just sit there embarrassed. I feel horrible for her right now, and all I want to do is wrap her up in my arms and kiss her repeatedly. I still feel like this is a dream that I'll wake up from at any minute. Sure, Carter found out, but that was bound to happen eventually.  I can't believe that her memory is back. 

"Just get out." He says again. "The both of you. Seriously, just leave."

"Okay." She replies, grabbing her leggings from the floor. "Um, can I grab my stuff first?"

He turns to look at her in disbelief, and she quickly just nods her head and holds the blanket up with one hand as she puts her clothing back on. I'm still standing here awkwardly, but when she looks at me all of my nerves seem to fade away. Even though she's upset right now, I can see the happiness and relief in her eyes that she's got me once more. She never lost me though. That's what she fails to realize. 

I decide to leave first, so I walk out onto the street and feel the cold whip against my face. It's quiet outside, and as I let the events of tonight slowly sink in I can't help but smile. Even though some of it was shitty, most of it was pretty damn amazing. I haven't had sex with Reina in so long. I haven't felt her kiss in so long. 

The door opens again and Reina steps out. She's beginning to shiver immensely from the cold, so I immediately take my sweatshirt off and hand it over to her. 

"You okay?" I ask. 

She slides the sweatshirt over her body, and I smile again at how it completely engulfs her. She brings the sleeve up to her nose so that she can inhale my scent, and then wraps her arms around her body. 

"I will be." She sighs. "Carter said I can pick up the rest of my stuff tomorrow while he's at work. I guess until then I can stay with Casey, or..."

"Or you can stay with me... at our house..." I smirk again, tugging her body towards me. I grab her hand and start to lead her towards the car, stopping by the passenger side so that I can open it for her. 

Once she's in I climb into the drivers side and start the car up, looking over at her once more. She looks so beautiful in my sweatshirt. She just looks so fucking beautiful right now. I've finally got my girl back. 

"How's your face?" She asks, a smile tugging at the corner of her lips. 

"Kinda hurts." I admit. "But it was worth it."

I go to put the car in drive until her hand reaches over to stop me. "Can you kiss me again? I just haven't felt that in so long, and I really need to feel that again. If you think it's awkward after what just happened then I get it, but I never would have been with Carter if-"

"Baby, c'mere." I murmur, pulling her chin towards me. My lips meet hers and I can't help but let out a moan when her hands go to the sides of my face to hold it. I'm too wrapped up in her to worry about anything with Carter. I'm too caught up in this kiss to worry about the fact that we're parked right outside of his house. I don't care about anything else but this girl right now. 

In moments she's straddling me on the drivers seat, her hands running down my bare arms, tracing over my tattoos before she moves her hands underneath my white beater. My heart is picking up speed as I run my hands down her back. The only light between us right now is the street light flooding in, and it's making Reina look so beautiful. 

"Justin..." She breathes heavily, moving her kisses to my neck. They're wet and sloppy, and I'm completely ready for her. I'm hers. "I-I'm so sorry. For everything I put you through."

Her forehead rests against mine as she starts to cry, and almost like the weather can read her mood, little droplets begin to hit the windshield of the car. I know that she's been through a lot with all of this, and I can only imagine how hard it's been to lose her memory and then gain it back all at once. 

"Hey..." I soothe, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "We're okay, alright? We're here together now, and that's all that matters."

"I-I know that. But I almost fucking lost you. I almost lost you to someone else, and that shit rips me apart Justin. I just don't know why my brain took so long to remember you, or why I had to put you through all the heartache. I left you when you needed me the most. All because I couldn't fucking remember. I will never forgive myself for this."

"Reina..." I trail off in disbelief from what I'm hearing. "You could never lose me. I kept my distance because you wanted me to. The moment you ever would have needed me though, or if you ever didn't have a place to go, my arms always would have been open for you. You are the only girl I have ever been in love with. You made me into a man that I'm proud of, and you can't just forget someone like that. You never would have lost me. Do you understand that?"

It's a complete downpour now, and you can't even see out of the windows now from all of the rain. Reina finally smiles and nods her head, pressing her lips against mine again. I want her badly, right here and now. 

"And that man in there isn't meant to be your husband." I finally whisper, feeling her eyes meet mine. "It was always meant to be me."

Her fingers run through my hair, and as she's staring at me I can tell that she's in love with nobody else but me, and this is a gaze I haven't felt in over a year. This is the look that's letting me know there's no other man to her aside from me. 

"I know..." She finally whispers, my heart seeming to stop. "It's always been you."
