Remember Me ( Sequel to Paradise to Disaster)

Chapter 6

" Honey, are you in here? " A tall man called out into his little apartment

Mal looked around. She was the only one here. She recognized his voice from somewhere

" I missed you " He said and hugged her

Mal smiled back at him. She had been confused but seeing him unlocked some memories ( even if they weren't real). She glanced down at her hand. An engagement ring. His name was Spencer and she was his fiancée and she was madly in love with him. Well she thought she was anyways. She listened to what her head was telling her even if her heart spoke much differently.

" Hi " Mal replied

Spencer. Her high school sweetheart. He had proposed to her a few years after they graduated on the anniversary of them meeting. It was sentimental.

" We have a date night, tonight. Remember? " Spencer said " I can't wait. It's been a while"

" O-Of Course, I just need to change. Be right back. " Mal kissed his cheek.

Everything felt wrong. She couldn't put her hand on what though.

Spencer's phone rang.

" Ah Ella, just the person I was about to call"

" Your Plan, it's working"

" I appreciate you sparing my memories "

He laughed.

" I always crushed on Mal during high school and now I don't have to worry about Ben coming between us "

" Talk soon, bye "

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Ben sat next to Ella impatiently. He needed some time with her so everything between them could go back to normal. Or as normal as he imagined it had once been. Ella told him he had an accident which was causing his severe confusion and uncertainty. He felt it was something bigger. He felt like he went to bed and is trapped in some twisted dream land. Ella was rambling on about something and snatched him out of his thoughts.

" Ben! Were you even listening to me? "

" I'm sorry I got- "

" DISTRACTED! I know " Ella snapped

Ben was taken back.

" Oh Ben, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it " She apologized when she saw the look on his face

" N-n-no, I deserved it. That's okay " Ben replied

" Anyway, I think we should host a ball for your, soon to be our kingdom " She changed the subject behind her outburst

" A ball? " Ben asked

" Why not? We should celebrate our engagement in a marvelous way. What better way than to share this beautiful moment with the entire kingdom " Ella persuaded

" If that's what you really want " Ben hesitated

He was afraid of her. He knew she was hot headed but he didn't know truly what she was capable of. Her mother was Elsa and she had froze an entire kingdom into an entirnal winter when she was upset. It was better to let her get her way to prevent anything like that.

He was unsure about this. Sure, all his memories were with Ella by his side but something felt wrong. Maybe his feelings were fading and he didn't love her anymore. He couldn't do that to her. That would simply be just too cruel. How can he live his life a lie? That's not fair either. He spent some hours alone in his office thinking. He made an announcement. There would be a royal ball this weekend, technically to celebrate his engagement to Ella in which he couldn't remember ever proposing but she had the ring as proof. This weekend, he would give this relationship a finally chance and if he still felt nothing after wards he would have to tell Ella the truth no matter how cruel he thought that would be.

" Bennnnnnnn " Ella called

" In here " Ben snapped out of his thoughts

" Did you sort it? My ball? Our ball? " Ella smiled

" Of course, m-my love " Ben replied

" Great " She grinned " I'm going to go and have a dress fitting so I will be seeing you after. Try not to miss me, too much " She wrapped her arms around Ben's neck

" Don't worry about that " Ben smiled nervously

" You are very funny, my king " Ella said before leaving

Ben let out a sigh of relief. Speaking of dress fitting, he needed to arrange an appointment with his stylist and get fitted for a new suit. He made a few calls and finally had a moment to rest.

He felt like he was trapped in some movie. Nothing here felt right or even real. He felt as if he was going along with everything just to make everyone else happy. This was reality? Wasn't it? He let out a sigh.

He didn't know it or remember who she was but Mal was feeling the exact same way with her lover.

He loved her more than anything but Mal loved him as that was what her head was telling her. Her heart was telling a completely different story but she only remembered being with Spencer even if she couldn't remember how or when they met? She just knew him as long as her memories allowed her to. Something was up and she intended to find out what!
