Chapter 8

  • Bryce's POV
  • "Any important appointment tomorrow Ms. Sheld?" I asked my secretary as I glanced at my watch that shows 6 in the afternoon.
  • "Tomorrow at 9 in the morning, you have a meeting with the former investors of the Lussian Enterprise, Sir." She answered in a very sweet tone that makes my ear hurts. But I chose to ignore her, because besides of I get used to her being like that, I'm too tired also to scold her.
  • She's lucky I didn't fire her yet.
  • Nodding to her response while rubbing my forehead, I continue, "If you don't have anymore to do, you can leave."
  • "Yes sir." She hurriedly walk away.
  • When she's already gone, my mind travel again to the Vixen with angelic voice and a good cook, in my home. I wonder what's her job before she got an amnesia. Maybe a chef?
  • Sighing, it's been a month since she came to my home. I hate to accept it but I'm starting to love her presence in there. I love the way I caught her ogling me whenever we have encounter. I love the way she hurried herself away when I'm around, I can feel that she's nervous. And most especially, I love the way if she cooks and leave some for me. It's been my hobby now to look in the fridge for food if I got home.
  • I smiled remembering the time that I caught her checking the fridge if I ate the food she left. It's already midnight that time when she go down in the kitchen and she has no idea that I'm just in the counter drinking some scotch watching her. At first, I have no idea what she's doing but when she opens the lunch box where she keeps the food and smile, I started to have a clue. Later that time, I confirmed when she spoke absentmindedly.
  • "Mr. Handsome Rude finally ate the food that I cook for him."
  • After saying that, she go upstairs again. She has no idea that I was there all the time watching here and how her words affects me. To be honest, it's the first time that my heart flatters so much.
  • "I think cupid finally plays his role that makes you smile like crazy." Standing at the door is the glorious Blake with smirk.
  • "Does someone told you that entering the room without a knock is rude?" I snapped back.
  • "Really? Do you really think the word "knock" is in the 6F vocabulary?" His grinning ear-to-ear now before slumping his body to my couch.
  • "Right. What made you come here?" I inquired.
  • "I don't want to go home yet." Blake whine like a kid. If his employees will see Blake in this state, they will be dumbstruck for ten minutes shit.
  • That's Blake. He wants to check everyone if he can and for sure he wants to check me out especially because I have the Amnesia Woman.
  • "Care to tell me what made you smile like crazy? And don't lie to me that it's about business because even though I closed a billion dollar contract before, I can't smile as sweet as that." Blake asked again with smirk.
  • "I-its j-just, I uhm.." Hell, I never stuttered like this before and I don't know what to do.
  • He chuckled, "The always direct-to-the-point and serious-minded 6F just stuttered. Hell, can't wait to tell those dickheads about it."
  • "There's no way you're telling them this." I argued.
  • "Fine. Fine. You don't have to say it anymore because I know it's something to do about the woman in your suite." He caught me off guard.
  • I sighed. Blake is Blake, smart as hell.
  • Arguing with my mind if I will spit it out, I sighed in defeat as I started.
  • "You know, we never actually talk Blake. We never talk for more than 5 minutes and it's 1 month already. I never asked her how is she, how she's feeling. I just can't. I don't know but I don't have the courage to do that."
  • "It still affects you? The thing that happens to you before?"
  • "Yes. That's the reason why I'm afraid. I'm afraid to get close to her because I can't trust myself when I'm around her."
  • "You're falling for her?"
  • "I don't know what it feels to fall in love so, I don't know Blake. All I know is, I avoided her all these times because I can help but like and admire her and I can't give my trust again Blake. I can't trust anyone again aside from the 6F." I sighed frustratedly.
  • "That's a huge problem Bro. But I want to tell you that not everyone is like her. Like your ex that will just throw away your trust, too glad that you realized that you don't love her at all.
  • Give yourself a chance Bryce. All of your friends want you back. Though we love this Bryce now, we still missed the old Bryce." He finished his speech by tapping my shoulder.
  • Told you everyone, Blake is like the eldest brother to us who loves to give words of wisdom.
  • "Appreciate it Blake. Let's just hope that I can really do that."
  • We didn't finished yet our sweet talk but the door suddenly snapped open.
  • "Well, well, well what do we have here? A bromance? Your wife there is waiting for you to come home Bryce to eat dinner with you yet you're here flirting with some man? How dare you Bryce? How could you do this to her?" Luke the asshole in her most annoying stunt ever while faking sobbed.
  • He can win the most dramatic in Oscar award. But wait what?
  • Wife. That sounds foreign and warm?
  • "Shut up! What do you mean? Waiting for me?" I suddenly become interested.
  • He sat on the opposite side of Blake and change his demeanor this instance.
  • "Yes Bryce! And I want to beat you hard to knock on your senses." Now he's angry, what is he? Bipolar? "She told me she's been in the house since you keep her. You don't talk to her that much, you seems to ignore her and above all, you seems to forgot she has an amnesia. I thought you would like to regain her memory? How can she if she's locked in your suite?" Yeah, he's angry.
  • "I know, I know it's my fault. I'll try my best now to help her." I tried to reassure them.
  • "Good, now go home. She cooks for you and even if she doesn't admit it, she has hope for you to eat it. Though I don't mind eating it all if you don't eat it. Bro, her foods taste amazinggg." The idiot motherfucker winks which makes Blake chuckled.
  • "How dare you eat the food that she cooks for me?" I growled.
  • "Sorry but she offers it and man I just can't deny it, the smell is alluring you know." I really want to punch the face of this asshole.
  • But Luke seems love to test my patience and he loves seeing me like this. He is enjoying it, his smile turns to smirk. As I glanced to Blake, he is also smirking.
  • "Jealousy suits you Bryce." Blake stated.
  • "Bryce, keep her. Gwen is a keeper." Luke said.
  • "What? Who the hell is Gwen?" Then suddenly the realization hits me. "You mean, her name is Gwen? How did you know?"
  • "Oopss, I should not be spoiling that I'm the first to know her name." Luke said smirking while earning a glare from me. "Weird but while we are talking earlier, she suddenly felt a painful headache then just after that, she remember her name. But only Gwen, no surname." He explained, but before he can continue, I hurriedly leave.
  • Wews, Luke is such a bully.
  • Anyway, who's ready for the next chapter?
