Chapter 123
"So you and I, we were...?"
If it was the appropriate time to be shy and sheepish, I would've blushed but it wasn't, so I simply nodded.
The awkward tension in the air thicken and Adam never looked more uncomfortable. He looked like he wanted to dig a hole and die there from the awkwardness surrounding us. But then again it could be because he didn't believe anything I have just said and wanted to dig a hole because he thought he dated his mom's murderer.
My life felt like it was a TV drama series, better yet, it felt like a wattpad story.
It was so surreal that I could probably produce a movie from my life story.
"So," I trailed off.
"So?" Preston asked.
"What do we do now?" I asked to the men in front of me.
"First of all, how did you know Dom was the one who brainwashed him?" Preston looked aggravated at how out of the loop he was.
"Oh, I met him after my fight and had a small brawl with him." I said nonchalantly as if I was brushing the topic off. It made it sound like I encountered psychopaths who killed my brother and brainwashed my boyfriend every day and it has started to become a norm.
"What?" Preston asked with his wide eyes.
"You're still fighting?" Adam asked in bewilderment.
I turned to look at Adam and gave him an ‘are you stupid' look. My head had started to pound, reminding me of the abuse it took.
"Did you not hear what I just said about the psycho dude threatening everyone I love?" I asked him while giving him a ‘duh' look. He was going to answer my rhetorical question but I cut him off before he could say anything.
"Or maybe you forgot what I said about you getting hit by a car right after he made that threat. I'm sorry that I don't want to take any more risks by neglecting the threat made towards my loved ones." There was no missing my sarcasm.
Adam quickly shut his mouth at what I said. I was so tired by then that I didn't care what he wanted to believe anymore. I spared the clock above the living room's door a glimpse and saw that it was half past 1 already.
I had 2 fights today, one very emotional talk and all I want to do is take a quick warm shower and drop dead on my welcoming bed.
"If you can promise you'd keep an eye and him to make sure he doesn't try to kill me tonight, I'll let both of you have the guest room. Otherwise, please let yourselves out the door because I am exhausted." I excused myself, already standing up to head to my bedroom when I heard Adam call out my name.
"I still don't know what's true and what's not. I'm still lost, but thank you for talking to me." I nodded at him, offering him a weak smile.
He sounded too much like my Adam. I couldn't bear to simply stand there without running to him for comfort and reassurance any second longer.
I know I should probably think about what's happening and decide what I'm going to do about it as soon as I can. But my head hurt and I had no energy to do anything other than to shower and sleep.
I took out my water bottle and drank the remaining water in it. I was parched after all that talking. I walked to the bathroom to have that shower.
One thing I knew for sure was that was going to have to fight to have Adam back in my life. I was going to have to at least try to help him get his memories back, even if it meant revealing that I had walked away from him.
