The Remnants Of Forgotten Love

chapter 12

"Somethings seem scary from afar, but once you get close to them, you realize how wonderful they are"

Isla.

We finished giving a new setting to the restaurant, we stood in the center of the dining room, staring at the new look infront of us, I can't believe it's that same old restaurant, it looks so good and so up to date.

"Alright! This is done" I said happily, clapping my hands, how happy I'm is evident in my voice.

"Now I made this menu, is it good?" I walk to Liam, handing him the menu that I made, for him to see If it's all good.

"Perfect" Liam agreed, with a satisfied and somewhat proud look on his face.

"Thankyou!" I thanked him with a sweet smile.

"I want to change the name of the restaurant" I said in a wondering voice.

"Why?" Liam asked, startled from my sudden decision.

"I don't know, I just feel like I should as it's a new beginning" I said, still wondering.

"What do you think about, "forgotten memories", is that a good name?" I asked Liam, as I finally got a good name that I liked in my mind.

"Wha- why that name?" Liam asked, shocked with his eyes wide. Is the name too bad?

"uhh... because whenever a customer comes here and eat our food, I want to them to feel the most beautiful feeling or a beautiful feeling that they have forgotten, I want my restaurant to be a reviver of beautiful things" i said as I wondered and felt anxious for the shocked look on his face.

"Oh, it's a good name, go with that" Liam said with a smile and something in his eyes I don't know what, but what he said did put me at ease.

....

"You know, if I end up doing nothing, I will inherit my father's restaurant" Isla said as she layed on Liam's arm, hugging him.

"Really? Will that make you happy" Liam asked hugging her as well.

"Well ofcourse, I will have my own restaurant that will be like me and you will be my chef" Isla said with a energetic and sweet voice and snuggled in Liam's chest.
Making Liam laugh.

"And you know, I will rename the restaurant" Isla announced.

"Woah, what will you name it?" Liam asked, curious, his eyes shut feeling warmth.

"Hm I haven't decided that... but I want it to be something like a healer? Like a restaurant or a place that will make you happy as you set your step in or as you eat the food there, like a reviver of beauty things" Isla pondered as she replied to Liam's question.

"Haha, ofcourse the restaurant will take after its owner, beautiful" Liam said as he started cuddling with Isla, the room filled with their laughter, the room radiated of happiness.

....

"Now, all that left is some Decorations and some other stuff" I said, as Liam and I, we both sit on the tables, catching our breath.

"Yeah, let's go buy those tomorrow" Liam said, as he took a sip of water.

"Yeah, and thankyou Liam to you and your friend, these chairs and tables that we bought from him looks really good and the suit the room too" I thanked Liam, truly feeling grateful for his help.

"It's nothing" Liam said, devoid of any expression on his face, did he get angry? What happened?

"How are you doing these days? Are you ok?" Liam asked, this time his once devoid of any emotion face filled with concern. It's kind of weird...

"Yes, I'm doing good, and you are also helping me so much" I said and thanked him as well with a sweet smile.

"What about you, how are you?" I added.

"Very well" he replied.

"Hmm"

Then a awkward moment of silence filled us, it was already night, the moon had already came up to say hello, the stars were shining bright, reminding me of something... food!

"OK so I-" as he was about to say something I cut him in between, not letting him finish what he was going to say.

"What will you do later?" I asked with a mischievous smile, while making a stand with my hands on the, resting my face on it.

"Go back home?" He said.

"How about we do dinner together? I will treat you to dinner as a thankyou" I requested, with my weapon-my puppy eyes.

"No, that wasn't in the contract" he denied, rejected my cruely, that hurt my pride.

"Please, please, I don't want to eat alone" i kept insisting, and continuously using my weapon as well.

"Ugh, ok" Liam finally gave in with a sigh, yayyy I won!

"Now lets go!" I said as I stood up to leave.

"Nah wait" Liam said, as he stopped me.

"What?" I asked with a confused look on my face.

"Since this is to thank me why don't you cook?" Liam said with a smirk forming on his lips. But I'm tired, I don't want to cook.

"Cmon I'll cook for you another day" I pleaded with a pout and my doe eyes.

"Nope nope nope" he said. A mischievous smile etched on his lips.

"Huh then lets do the toss, if it gets heads I win and if it takes its you" I proposed the idea of a toss, I'm sure I will win, I'm lucky afterall.
I and Liam, we both stood in a place with a little more space, and Liam took out a coin from his pocket, he was just about to toss it but was stopped by me.

"Wait!" I yelled, not wanting to be late.

"What?" Liam asked.
"Scared" he teased with a smirk on his face.

"Nah never" I denied, I'm not scared of anything.

"Give me that coin I will toss" I said while taking my hand forward for the coin. With a chuckle Liam handed me the coin.
I took the coin, and brought it to my lips, closing my eyes, reciting my secret chant in my heart, I could feel Liam's gaze on me.

Finally finishing the chant and removing the contact of my lips and the coin, i tossed the coin.

The coin flew high in the air, flipping, I could feel my heart beating, I sneak a glance to Liam to see if he is the same as me, and he was!!

The coin finally fell on the floor, rolling, and finally decided a side! It's!! tales....
Wow I feel betrayed, how could I lose, it's so bad.

"Hahaaha now miss, cook" Liam teased me, enjoying his victory.

"Yeah yeah" I said as I rolled my eyes in annoyance.
