''Who are you?''
That was how it ended and started a whole new story. Jade Wilson and Ethan O'Brian were a happy couple forever until Jade meets with a massive accident and it wipes out all her memory. She no longer remembers him and they part ways...
The place totally deserved its name, no wonder it is one of the best security centres in the World. Bright lights lit up every single corner in the entire building and I almost forgot to watch where I was going. About a hundred people sat in the meeting room arguing over something I didn't bother to listen but Jade...Mahn, that woman is soo cool! I could already see men crushing on her.
''But boss, who is he?'' The boy's voice brought me back to Earth. Jade turned to look at me and sighed, ''I forgot you were here''
She said something after that but I wasn't listening.
''Catherine?''
She turned at her name and widened her eyes at me. It was her! What the hell was she doing here?
''Do you guys know each other?''
''No'' Catherine was quick to answer and she averted her gaze.
''Very well then, Cathy, how about you show Ethan around? I got something to attend to.'' Jade suggested.
I pulled Catherine aside as soon as she led me out, ''What are you doing here?''
''You don't have to sound so harsh; Jade wouldn't like it.'' and I raised my eyebrows at her.
''What? I am her best friend!''
''The f***?? Tell me everything.''
Catherine was never on Jade's side at college because she used to have a crush on me and went all crazy when she heard we were dating. I was troubled at the idea she was staying beside her all the time now.
''I didn't know why I felt guilty when Jade was involved in an accident, I thought I had to find her and I spent three months looking for her.'' She gestured me to keep walking.
''But I found she lost her memories and she didn't have the smile on her face she used to have every time she saw me. I was a stranger to her. Everyone was. It gave me a new chance to help her start a life. We went to train as a bodyguard together.''
''So, you knew she was sent to protect me?''
She halted suddenly causing me to crash into her, ''Of course, I knew, I wanted to go in her place. It would have been better that way.''
Actually, that hurt. ''Why would you say that?!''
''Do you know how mad I was at you when you disappeared? Didn't you love her? Why the f*** would you run away?'' She poked my chest as she spoke each word and it honestly wounded me deeper than a knife. ''She wouldn't have to face you all again and dream of those stupid memories you had with her and right now she's going mad trying to find who the hell she fell in love with!''
''I...I'm sorry.''
''I am not the right person who you should apologise to. Tell her everything...before it's too late. She might give up on you.''
The thought of her in another man's arms, felt like a punch right at my chest. I would never forgive myself if I lost her again.
''So, will you do it or not?!! Because if you don't, I will. Every time she recalls something, the pain is killing her''

JADE POV
''Jade! Can you help me choose a dress for the party?!'' Val's shrill voice rang thought he phone.
''You know I'm not very good at that.''
''Please? Pretty please?'' How could I ever refuse that, she was soo cute! I could tell she had her big puppy eyes at the mobile right now.
''Jade, you have plans tonight?'' I jumped at Ethan's voice behind me and I covered his mouth in a flash to stop him from talking any further.
''Wait a minute! Was that a man's voice? Why does is it feel so familiar?!'' Valentina asked and I widened my eyes at him. He was trying hard not to laugh. Probably at my expression.
''Nah! That was just my friend. You don't know him''
''Is Michael beside you?'' This girl sounded all exited just mentioning his name.
''No, he's at work, and I'm sorry Val, I have to go. It's...urgent.''
I noticed my hand was still on his lips and I was sure I went all red by now.
''Umm...sorry.''
''Are you busy tonight?'' I shook my head. ''Can we go out for a bit? I actually...have something to tell you.''
Was he asking me out on a date or something? Or was I dreaming?
''Where...are we going?'' He had that look. The look when he always wanted to tell me something.
''I don't know. Just for a walk I guess.''
''Oh'' was all I said.
******************************************
I chose to keep it very simple. So, I picked a black crop top, skinny jeans and a matching white shoe. Did I look too pale? Why did my hair look lifeless?
Oh god, why was I nervous? It's not like he actually asked me out.
I skipped down the stairs to find him waiting by the door, wearing a hot black shirt rolled up at the sleeves and white pants. Hey, We kinda matched.
''I thought it was walk?'' I asked him nodding towards the car.
''Just a small ride.''
He was right, it took us fifteen minutes to get there. He pulled the door open for me to pass and I was mesmerised by the interior designs of the room. Keyboards, piano and all the other instruments were arranged neatly along the walls. I had a strange feeling I was here before. With the man in my dreams. I looked around clearly, making sure it was the same background.
Realization hit me hard and I turned around, meeting Ethan's eyes. Guilt and hope.
I whispered, ''It was you.''
