Chapter 31 - A Date
At that moment, she knew that she was in a dream. She got into her car using her student's license and drove it back home to prepare some pastries for her loving boyfriend who will come home from New York. It'll be in three days, so she wanted to surprise him with sweet pastries and love. She turned on the music as Bach's Complete Cello Suites started playing.
She was driving carefully when suddenly a car deliberately ran to her car by going through her lane. She tried to dodge it by steering the wheel but it still caught her. Her ears were ringing as her body felt paralyzed at the moment. She slowly opened her eyes as a person come out from the other car.
"H~help." She mumbled.
She watched the girl coming out with a little blood from her face while dragging a baseball bat.
"N~~no…" She realized that the girl wasn't someone who would help her. The girl broke the glass to her side as she covered herself. The girl opened her car and scooped her chin.
"You think that you could have him?" She greeted, her eyes wide. But it was blurry to her. However, she recognized her. The girl hit her head with the baseball bat using the tip of the bat. "You slut!" She felt the cold face closer to her ear. "You won't have him. He's mine from the start and I'll kill you."
Slowly, she started losing consciousness as the girl closed the door and went back to her car. She ran her car to the post. Keira saw it. Saw what she did.
Keira gasped and opened her eyes wide. She felt something dripping from her neck. She felt it right in her head and her body suddenly felt paralyzed. She turned her head to Alessandro who gently pulled her up.
"What's wrong?" He asked as he pushed the sheets. "You are sweating." He quickly slipped off from bed, took a towel from the bathroom and a glass of water.
He gave it to her and she stared at her hand and lifted it. She thought that it was paralyzed. Somehow, the dream felt so real to her. She felt the pain in her head and she felt the words of the girl in her heart.
"Hey," He scooped her face. "What happened?"
"N~Nothing."
"You have to tell me if you are having flashes of memories." He wiped her sweat on her face and her neck. "If you won't tell me then, you should probably see a doctor."
She sipped on the water and gave it back to him.
"You won't tell me?" He asked again.
"My head is aching." She mumbled so he won't ask anything at all.
"Okay,"
She glanced at the clock. It's already three in the afternoon and yet she feels like it's already nighttime. She lay down on the bed and turned back to him. To her surprise, he slid his hand to her dress and rubbed her back with the towel.
"How about we go to the cinema?" He asked. "It's our last day off this weekend?"
She sat up and turned to him.
"Really?"
He nodded. He took out his phone and showed her the movies. She moved closer to him and pointed to a certain movie. He bought a ticket and then, he lifted her from the bed.
"I'm choosing our clothes." She mumbled. "And we don't need close bodyguards."
"Are you sure?" He asked again.
"Yes,"
"Then, it's a date." He grinned and kissed her lips. She flushed and wrapped her arms around him tightly.
"All we always did was a honeymoon." She mumbled.
"Then, we'll have a date every weekend."
"I like that."
He put her down as she chose their clothes. She took her blue long sleeve shirt and since she also saw the same shirt from her drawer. She tossed it to him and took her denim walking shorts.
"Casual?" He asked.
"Of course, why would we wear such expensive clothes just to watch the cinema?" She chooses on his sneakers and she wonders why they have matching clothes. "You bought all of these did you?"
"Uh~~Moira did." He grinned. "I'm glad that she bought a couple of clothes."
The two went downstairs and found Karmina reading a book.
"Mom, we are off to the cinema. Do you want to go?" Keira asked.
"No, dear. You and Ales, enjoy your date."
"Okay…"
Alessandro and Keira kissed their mother and went to the garage. She frowned at the sports car collection that he had in his big garage.
"Okay, choose."
Keira walked around and pointed to the Lamborghini. He removed the cover and took the key from the valet who was attending them. He turned it on using the remote and gave it to her.
"I won't drive." She said. He opened the door car first and led her inside.
She looked around the beautiful car and smiled. Even the beautiful leather of the car. It's just amazing. Alessandro walked around and signed two bodyguards and pointed to the motorbikes that he lent to them. She smiled and enjoyed the ride. Alessandro was always careful and he always looked in the rear mirror to their bodyguards. The mall came into view and she looked excited. Once he parked the car, he glanced at the bodyguards who parked nearby. He hopped out and opened the door for her.
He held her hands as they went to the main entrance of the mall. She looked around and had thought of things to buy. Like the donut and the milk tea stand.
"We'll be late for our movie." He mumbled. They were wearing a matching cap and clothes. Few people caught their attention. Alessandro hides well from everyone's eyes since he's a little famous. That's also why he is using eyeglasses as a disguise.
"I want fruit tea." She told him.
They approached the milk tea stand and bought two tall fruit teas. He smiled as they waited for their fruit tea. It's like old times whenever they would watch a movie. They went to the cinema area and bought popcorn on the way. There are many people around and a woman bumped into Alessandro. She eyed the woman in disguise and already noticed her. She's an actress from the Golden Age.
"I-I'm sorry." The woman mumbled and looked up at Alessandro.
Alessandro ignored the woman as he put a hand over his wife's back and led Keira inside the cinema. They chose the third last row and sat down. Then, two bodyguards sat down once seated apart from them.
"That woman who stumbled on you is the singer from the Golden Age." She mumbled. "She claimed to have a date with you. Did you date her?" She glared at him.
He chuckled and patted her head.
"I never dated anyone but you."
"Are you sure about that?" She asked again.
"Who is that singer?" He asked.
"Louise Madison."
"Hmm, never heard of her." He said as he threw popcorn into his mouth.
She squinted at him for a long time. He looked down at her and quickly looked away.
"It's starting."
She stabbed the straw on the seal of the fruit tea that made him a bit jumpy.
"Then, I'll teach her a lesson." She mumbled.
"Yeah," he nodded at her. Damn, she's still scary even now. She sipped on her bubble tea and relaxed on her seat. She chewed on her popcorn as they watched the movie.
They were focused on the movie and from now and then, he would lean on her or kiss her neck. Then, she would push his face to watch the movie.
"I didn't know her." He mumbled to her ear.
"Whatever you say." She says coldly.
"Love," he weaned on her ear.
She looked at where Louise Madison is seated together with her assistant. She pulled his face and he grinned at her as they kissed passionately. She opened her eyes as the woman who claimed that she's dating her husband frowned at them. She kept the passionate kiss on and then, gently pushed him.
"Are you mad?" He asked.
"No." She answered and he leaned on her as they watched the movie and ate their popcorn.
"If you are mad at me…" He mumbled. "Then, I can make it up tonight." He grinned. She pushed him and smirked. He put his arms around her and kissed her ear. "Come on, don't be mad at me wifey…"
She chuckled and snuggled to him.
Keira became a little bit selfish. Or maybe she was selfish when it comes to Alessandro, even from the past. But she doesn't remember about them, there are only flashes of memories. She holds his hand as they become intimate while watching the movie. People started leaving the cinema and she stood taking the trash while he held her purse.
"I am thinking of buying take-outs but I know that mom would ask the cooks to make dinner."
"We can always eat outside during weekdays." He suggested as she threw the cups in the trash can.
She took her purse and wrapped his left arm around her and kissed her temple.
"Are you sure that you didn't date her?" she asked again. He nodded at her.
"Do you want me to show you that I am telling the truth?"
"Nah, it's fine."
"Come on now… I have many ways on how to show you, my love."
