Chapter 8

“Lester, how are you feeling? Is there anything wrong with you?"

Lester looked at his surroundings with surprise, he could not remember any of the person in front of him.

“Who are you? Where am I? Why I am here? Where is my mother?!” Lester shouted hysterically.

The old man and a beautiful lady in front of Lester was shocked and could not say anything for a moment, both with confusion on their faces.

“Who are you?! Speak!” Lester could not control his anger. He wanted to see his mother. His only family.

“I will call the doctor!” the lady shouted and stormed out of the room in panic.

Lester's head ached and he screamed in the intensity of the pain. Wanting to knock his head on the wall, he panicked and don't know what to do. The pain was unbearable that he could only scream. Until he heard some noises on the room surrounding him but could not see them clear. His eyes blurred with the pain and he felt some of the people held his both arms to control his movements followed by the needle inserted on his one arm. A moment later, he passed out.

Lester woke up after three days. According to the doctor, he was suffering a selective amnesia. He found out that he had been hit by a speeding motorcycle recently when he was about to go to work. His head hit the ground so hard that made him lost his memories of six years. Now, he does not have any idea that he was in America. But the doctor assured him that it won't be long and could only take some time to regain his memories. No need to forced it or he will suffer a great pain in his brain.

His so-called uncle patiently explained Lester his present details in his life. That he was working in Wang Industrial Company as managing director. His mother was left on the countryside of the Philippines. In short, Lester was living in a complete new life in America. Learning this, Lester felt tired and restless.

After one more month, Lester finally gained health and somehow in a good shape, he then was discharged from the hospital and rest few days at the house before resuming at work.

But there was something he really could not understand...

Lester felt complicated and confused.

"Babe, it's weekend already. Let's have a date this weekend. What do you think?" Aubrey told Lester while smiling enthusiastically. She continued, "Let's go to the nearest beach resort, it's good for your health, it can help you strengthen your body."

According to his Uncle Johnson, the beautiful lady he saw at the hospital when he woke up was his secretary but Aubrey actually told him that she was her girlfriend.

Lester felt some weirdness from within him specially every time they touched, intentional or not. He could tell that something wasn't right. It is as if he was not used to her in any ways.

Just like this time, Aubrey touched Lester's cheeks with passion after she said those words. Lester wanted to dodge but he knew it was disrespectful to do. He remained calm at the outside but actually he was disgusted inside.

“You're so gorgeous, Babe. I like you so much!” Aubrey said then lower her head and slightly kissed Lester on the lips.

Lester almost choked after she said that. He did not know what to react and what to answer. Specially when she kissed him. His body froze like an ice.

‘Why? Why I feel that I'm not used to her kiss? Is she really my girlfriend?’ Lester thought in the midst of his chaotic mind.

Suddenly, Aubrey fell on the ground when Lester was about to move away from her. His instinct was fast so he reached his hands quickly to help her stand up instead.

“What happened to you?! Why did you fell on the floor?”

Lester was confused. Who would not be?

Aubrey's eyebrows knitted before she answered, “I don't know. It's weird though. I felt someone kicked my feet.”

“Kicked your feet?? Who could that be when we are alone here?” Lester felt more complicated.

Hearing no answer from her, Lester sighed and put aside his complicated thoughts and softly continued as she coaxed her, “Ok, Babe. Let's have a date and go to the beach tomorrow. I'll pick you up around seven am?”

Hearing those, Aubrey rejoiced and answered quickly, forgetting the weird thing that just happened, “Ohhh ohhh! No need to pick me up, Babe. Let me do the driving. I don't want you to feel dizzy. I want to take care of you, Ok?”

“Alright. It's settled then,” Lester agreed.

Still, he was not used calling her 'Babe', something just not right.

The next morning, Lester woke up very early and packed some of his clothes and other personal things a man could have. He put it in a small luggage then changed his clothes into medium size beach colored polo shirt and black knee-length shorts. He partnered it with white tennis shoes and white cap.

Not long after when Aubrey arrived wearing knee-high simple white dress. Partnered with high heel sandals and wide beach cap. Her red lips were so charming as well as her sexy curves. Her whiteness made her more delicate to watch. Lester admitted to himself that she was a beauty that every man wishes to have.

Lester swallowed hard as he saw her walking from the car to their house. He believed that many of men will get jealous to him to have such a beautiful girlfriend.

“Hello, Babe! Have you been waiting for too long?” Aubrey looked at Lester from head to toe after greeting him. She exclaimed, “Very handsome!” with satisfaction on her voice.

Her twinkling eyes while looking at Lester made him discomfort. He felt his body was burning. After clearing his throat he said, “Good morning, Babe. Let's go?”

“Lester! Miss Aubrey! Are you going somewhere?"

As the two was about to go out the house, uncle Johnson called them while hurrying downstairs.

“Are you going somewhere, Lester?” Uncle Johnson asked even though he knew that it was the case.

“Ohh yes, Mr. Wang. We planned to go to the beach, it will help Lester's health to recover quickly,” Aubrey answered even before Lester could speak.

“Good morning, Uncle. It's weekend but looks like you are hurrying. Something urgent happened?” Lester carefully asked.

Mr. Johnson shook his head and waved his hands to let them know there was nothing really serious happened. Instead he said, “Before I explain, Lester, Aubrey, please take a sit first. I need to go outside for a while to fetch someone. We have something very important to talk to. You cannot leave without knowing it.”

After saying that, Mr. Johnson stormed out the house and went back quickly even before Lester's butt heated on the couch.

Mr. Johnson came back with a tall and extremely handsome man beside him!

He looked like a walking model from a magazine! Very beautiful looking man.

Lester's heart lost its place and fell on the floor instantly after jumping too loud and rapidly. Even Aubrey was stunned by what she saw.
