Chereads / The Day I Discovered I Had Amnesia / Chapter 5 - My mind elsewhere

Chapter 5 - My mind elsewhere

I was surprised when I didn't have one of them weird and suffocating and painful dreams last night I was even pleased that I didn't get them at the same time I wanted to have those kinds of dreams because I was desperate for those memories , oh lord! I was so tired and exhausted from filling in the paperwork I took in from yesterday .. I couldn't even stay up when filling the damn mountain of paperwork.

But at least I got to finish in time plus it wasn't work day today so I was actually free and safe from that damn old man .. *sigh* cool I drank my hot calming coffee took a quick shower took an hour nap and gathered all the work I've completed yesterday in a box .. it wasn't fair for me as it wasn't fair for them .. but it wasn't like I missed work on purpose right?

But alas everything's already done .. I drove to my workplace and unexpectedly I found the same lady who accompanied me yesterday 'Doesnt she get some rest?' I raised an eyebrow when I approached her with my medium sized box filled with some of the finished projects and filled in paperwork she instantly rushed to my side and asked to give a hand .. but of course I was not cruel enough to burden a beautiful woman like her with my work that I missed these past few weeks or so.

She was hesitant at first when I refused her helping hand but came to realise the state I was in when I carried the box I even saw a nervous look on her face , it wasn't workday but she kept updating me about work since I went 'missing' .. I didn't stop her from saying anything I just let her talk all the way to the elevator .. when we got into the elevator I noticed her fidgeting movements .. she was like this yesterday but I thought maybe it was her first year working under me , and I could feel her heart beating she was also closing her eyes maybe to not look at me?

I thought it was safe to talk to her so I questioned her "Uhm tell me your name.." she was startled before she looked at her shaking hands and me "Lisa Mr Stanley" she grabbed her tight formal dark skirt .. I couldn't put a finger into her actions but I guess she was like that I think .. "So Uhm Lisa how long has it been since you worked here?.." this time she didn't seem hesitant she quickly answered me as she wiped her glasses "Two years" oh two years? I thought she worked here for more than that besides that she seemed to be around my age 'So young' I thought .. our conversation didn't end there I asked her questions but she didn't ask me anything .. I thought it was probably about my past self?

When the elevator stopped she sighed .. well I didn't think I was boring but the way she did it I had second thoughts and I too sighed well badly enough to be called a sigh of defeat and well sadness .. I walked in through the door of my office .. I put my box on the desk and sorted a few works of mine I needed to complete .. I even half did the other projects that I was punished with , I sat on my seat with my neck bent .. I closed my eyes for a bit and thought about this weird situation I was in .. I was unfortunate to end up having amnesia I mean out of all things amnesia was the only thing I could be punished with.

Lisa sat there with her head lowered reading and filling other paperwork .. che! she was even more cute with her beautiful brownish hair tied in a ponytail and other sides of her hair flowing gently infront of her eyes .. damn if I wasn't a Manager I would've took her out on a date just to avoid being at work I mean she even made me lose focus in my sleep.

After looking at her for a while I stood up from my seat startling her "Sorry" I said taking my car keys "Hey Lisa .. I'm done with my work how bout I give you a lift" she looked at me before her cheeks flushed with redness hesitating to take up my offer "Okay" she closed up her work and waited for me to walkk out of the door and drive her home.

I was probably risking my position as a manager by offering her a lift because you know people like talking and it never ends plus this Lisa was a girl of respect and I couldn't just bring myself to ruin it like that besides she was really nice so I had to be a little nice.

I opened the door for her .. she climbed in and I closed the door behind her with me going on the wheel's side .. I got in and drove off , on the way I talked to her about some things I didn't know about .. "Uhm Lisa please can you call me Theo when we're alone" I insisted and going with my orders she did so and started calling me by my name .. and I gave her the assurance to talk with me if she wanted to because I wanted her to feel at ease when I was around her .. 'ping ping' my petrol ran out but luckily I drove straight into the garage nearby and immediately asked for a fillup which was a little bit costy but it was worth it , while we were waiting for the car to fill up I rushed into the store and got a few snacks for us .. some chocolate chips, bunny chows, potato chips, candy and a meaty snack for the last. When I got back I gave the guy who was filling up my car some bucks and being kind of all he gave me a dude fist bump .. my first fist bump after I got amnesia at least I was coping well .. I got in the car gave her some snacks and ate through the road.

Eventually she was the one who stroke a conversation and I was kind of nervous for once but we got to it and made some jokes and shared some joyful laughs .. she told me her childhood joyful and laughable moments but I didn't have anything to share with her immediately making her feel like a bimbo but I felt like I had to say something "Uhm the reason I'm not able to tell you about my laughable childhood moments is because I don't remember anything .. it's not an excuse hey .. but it's really true .. I have AMNESIA" her eyes widened when she heard this but I kept a serious face not allowing my emotions to get the better of me "I hope you get them back .. I would like to know your other side .. I mean I've already seen this cute and kind side of yours I'm hoping for more" she giggled before she got off waving off getting in her house .. this was the best and greatest moments of my life.
