His Love Shattered (Love Shattered #2) Read Online Free

left me here with this man that I had no idea who he was. On the other hand, something about him made me feel like I had known him forever. Dave claimed that we needed some time to talk so he was going to go find a coffee and he would be back later.
    It didn’t slip my notice that when Dave left I felt no sense of cold or loneliness like I had when the other guy left earlier. Hmmm strange.
    “So I assume you are going to fill me in on who you are, how you know me and why you’re here. I am sorry that I don’t remember you. I get this funny feeling like I should know who you are.” Then I add, I can’t believe anyone could forget someone who is walking sex on a stick for my own personal thought.
      I hear him let out a burst of laughter and realize I said that last part out loud as well. I need to learn how to keep my thoughts to myself.
    I look up and see his eyes are filled with amusement and some of the tension from earlier has melted away.
    “Well to begin I am Dexter. We have been dating each other for the past two and a half months. I am here because I am madly in love with you and I care about you. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else right now. I have only left your side to run to your place and shower. I have been here the whole time worried sick about you Courtney. It is breaking my heart that you can’t remember who I am right now. But I am a patient man and I have faith that you will remember who I am with due time.” He explains.
    So his name is Dexter. That suits him. A very sexy name for a sexy guy. We are in love?  I don’t recall loving anyone other than Dave my whole life. I need to talk to Lillian she will be able to help me make sense of this confusion. That thought makes me wonder where she is. It’s not like her to not be glued to my side.
    “Where is Lillian?” Does this guy even know who Lillian is?
    “Lillian is upstairs on the maternity floor. She can’t wait for you to meet her little girl Lillian Faith. They are both getting discharged tomorrow and she will be down to see you then.” He looks at me sadly like he knows finding out my sister gave birth without me there hurts my heart.
    “I missed the birth of my first niece? Who was there for her I hope mom stepped in to fill my shoes. Wait a minute it’s too early for her to be born. Why has she had the baby already she still had several weeks to go?” This not remembering anything totally sucks.
    “Lillian has been in the hospital ever since the tornado. Rob was with her when Faith was born. You don’t remember the tornado at all either?” A tornado…. What the hell is talking about?
    I get another glimpse of something that must be a memory.
    We are taking cover under a bathroom sink. The kids are here and scared. A very pregnant Lillian sits beside me looking white as a ghost. I can hear screams and the building rumbling. Then silence takes over and we emerge from the ruble all around us into the ambulances. Lillian’s water breaking. Lillian in shock. Lillian’s contractions.
    That’s all I get. Still no memories of Dexter.
    “Did you remember something?” He asks hopefully.
    “I remember the tornado and being in the bathroom and then everything up until Lillian was taken to the maternity floor. Who is Rob?” I respond.
    “Any memories of me?” He asks hopefully.
    I just barely shake my head no and he looks crushed.
    That makes my heart hurt, and in that moment I pray for a memory of him to come. Just a tiny glimpse, anything to remind me how much this man apparently means to me.
    He just nods his head and walks back out the door. I am left with the feeling of emptiness and almost call out for him to come back. I am too tired to take in any more information. I lay my head down on the crinkly uncomfortable hospital pillow and fall into a fitful sleep.

    I had to leave her room to get some air. I couldn’t stand the fact that the love of my life doesn’t remember me.  My heart is
