I remember... (challenge)

[Kay Sera]

I remember the first time we locked eyes on each other, both completely intoxicated, but sober enough to know.

I remember the first time we made out in the back of a cab a week later.

I remember you saying, "What happens in China stays in China, right?"

I remember watching you collect your baggage and turn to kiss the girlfriend you conveniently forgot to mention.

I remember with vindictive pleasure how you broke up with the girlfriend, thinking I would take you.

I remember my heart freezing over, and shredding yours before you could get to mine.

Love the last line. You didn't just break the poor guy's heart, you shredded it. Well done. :)

[Justine Dunn]

'vindictive pleasure' love it, can relate to it too!

Making out with the meter running ...

I like the story form of this too.  Lucky un-break for your heart.

Thanks, Angela! I originally had 6 different relationship memories, and sentence 4 was the last of the set. Then I decided that sentence 4 didn't make enough sense without the rest of the story. It was my favorite so I scrapped the other relationships.

I like the way your sixes made a clear, cohesive story.  The temptation with this challenge, for me, was to run through a stream of random memories that ended up being a collection of somewhat depressing thoughts.  Yours was enjoyable to read.

There you go, Bill. I added a few other edits too.

shoot. I can't count. hold on...
