I've been looking at her to laugh her words off but she didn't instead she look more serious now, her eyes begging me to understand but I can't. I don't understand anything, all I know is that I'm standing on my ten toes inside a very swell house that looks like a mansion with an empty brain and a beautiful lady looking at me with a dying and desperation look but I don't understand, I still can't and every word she uttered makes me more confused
"I'm yours.. what do you mean? I asked looking at her eyes trying to get some answers from them but they gave me non instead they change from desperation to pained "I just need an explanation ..please"
"You're mine just like I am yours Leila" she said touching my face slowly
Am I married to you? I asked looking at the diamond ring on my finger then raise it up to show her.
Not yet Le but soon and yes we are engaged" clear said now smiling that Leila figured it out herself
I can't remember anything" I Said horrified
Please don't panic Le you will soon. You had an accident on your way to your wedding and that caused you to lose your memory but it's only temporary and you were in the hospital for almost a year
I lost my memory so that means that I won't be able to remember anything? I asked frightened
Le, please don't stress your mind, it's amnesia and it's only temporary
"I don't even know my name" I Said now trying so hard to fight the tears that are not too far from the surface
Le... Leila, your name is Leila and Le please stop forcing your mind to remember. You are only worsening it and that will cause you more pain ..please, you have not fully recovered" Claire pleads
"I can't remember anything.. please explain everything to me" I Said more horrified
"Come on let me sit you down first, you haven't healed well' she said sitting her on the nearest sofa then asks "now tell me what do you want to know?
I..." I began but was interrupted when she touches my jaw then my face slowly moving it up and down as if sorting out my anxiety which it did but her hands ...God! How soft they are
"Little by little sweetie. We have all the time we need huh? ..ok she said when she felt me nodding my head.
"What's your name? Leila asked softly as if she's shy
"Claire."
"How old are you? I asked looking at the uncertainty in her eyes which makes me want to know how old she really is, besides she looks young and around her early twenties.
"I'm old but you didn't mind then and I hope losing your memory won't make you now Le" she said her hands now on mine and they feel so soft plus she looks so beautiful that it makes her words earlier unbelievable. How I'm I so lucky to be getting married to this beautiful lady in front of me?
"I really want to know." I insisted
"I'm twenty six ..See I told you I'm old" she said now looking down as if shy or afraid of what she will see in them but I just smile. Her shyness makes her look cute.
"I don't even know my age so how am I supposed to know our age difference? I asked as I gently lift her face towards mine, making her eyes to meet mine. Fuck! Her lips are so sexy and look so soft. I want to taste them.
Nineteen...
"What? I ask distracted
"You're nineteen." she said again
"Oh," I said not knowing what to say which made her hide her face again on my lap this time making me laugh out loud and yeah that got her attention for a little while before she hides it back when I hesitated again. "How cute she's when she smiles" I giggle but couldn't keep it in any longer so I said it out loud
"You're beautiful"
