🎀 Chapter 10 🎀
"How are you feeling now?", Mike asked Collins, he rushed there after hearing what happened.
"I am fine now, what happened to me?, I can't remember anything", He told them and this time Fred turned to him.
"I had run a test on you, and the result says they are excess drug in your body, and it's mostly memory supressing drug, but what's surprising is that I also discover some memory recovery drugs in your system", Fred told them and they all gasped.
Mark was astonished, "So that's why he doesn't remember her, but how come there is memory recovery drugs and memory supressing drug in his body", he chimed in.
"Yes that's why, but as for how memory recovery drugs is in his system, I am thinking it's someone's doing. Someone who knows something about their evil plan and is helping Collins", Fred replied placing down the instruments in his hand, before he continued, giving all of his attention to Collins.
"Is this the first time it's happening?, did anyone tell you anything?, do you suspect anyone?, you have to be caref.. ", His words was cut off by Mike who smirked knowingly.
"Are you interrogating him as a doctor you are?, or because you have fallen in love with him?", He asked deliberately, he knows of Fred feelings for Collins.
Everywhere was silent, it was Soo akward and Fred's heart was beating Soo fast like as if it's going to burst open.
"Chill everyone, it was just an harmless joke", He said, laughing to lighten up the atmosphere, while he moved closer to Fred whispering in his ear.
"Or is that true?, should I tell him?, that's the payback for not letting me screw those ladies Soo badly like I wanted", He asked Fred who was blushing Soo hard.
"I would never ever interfere in his business again", He thought as he remembered 3 years ago when Mike came to visit him in his hospital and he was flirting with some nurses. He remembered Mike being thin then, and then he used it to his advantage telling the nurses that Mike has HIV, and they all left him alone.
"What are you two talking about?", Collins asked not understanding why they were whispering to each other ears and Fred was blushing Soo hard. Then a thought strikes him, "Could it be that Fred is in love with Mike?, then I will make them confess their feelings to each other, who knows Mike might reciprocate his love. Mike might be gay and it might be that he is just flirting around just to cover the truth about him like most guys do", He thought and chuckled, thinking he has made the right choice for them, he can go to any length to make his friends happy.
"Come down to earth, what's wrong with you?", They said shaking him until when he speaks up.
"It's nothing serious, now let's go back to this Daniella topic and why I can't remember her", Collins said sitting up on the three sitter chair he is.
"Jasmine is Daniella, because she is the only lady that I have gotten used to, and when she hugged me earlier, her touch didn't irritate me", Fred explained before Mike butted in.
"Yes, Jasmine hugged me that day, calling me the names only Daniella use in calling me, but what baffles me is that Daniella wrote a tattoo of your name on her back and mine on the laps and Fred's own on her shoulder, but you told me you didn't find any of this on Jasmine", Mike was Soo confused, one minute he thinks she is Daniella, the other minute evidence says she is not Daniella.
Collins didn't know what to say, one thing he knows for sure is that everything looks like a set up, it means someone really wants him to forget her, "but who could it be?, and what's the secret behind it?", he mumbled.
Fred is Soo sure that Jasmine is Daniella, because it's only Daniella's touch that doesn't irritates him, even his mom touch disgusts him. He just need to think more and find the evidence to prove she is the one.
"Okay, everyone let's calm down. I am sure that lady is Daniella", Fred said and Mike supported him.
"Is there any evidence?, because i can't just go meet her and say, my name is Collins and I am your boss, and I heard you were my best friend before bla bla bla...", Collins groaned in frustration tired of everything that's happening.
"I know what to do", Mike said going to the security room and after some time he brought something along with him.
"What's that?", Fred asked.
"What else?, we might get some information through the CCTV camera, I am going to check everything from the day she started work here", He replied busying himself with work, while they just stayed by his side watching him.
"Okay", They chorused.
Mike shouted drawing attention, "I think I found something".
"Hear this", He said tuning up the volume and they heard everything she said from the beginning to the end, from the time when she entered his office to the time when she kissed his portrait, professing her love for him.
"It still doesn't guarantee she is Daniella", He said hissing in pain as memories of them together hit him and memories of when he broke their friendship two years back resurfaced.
"Ahhh", He yelped in pain, trying Soo much to remember everything. He was forcing himself, he wants to remember.
"Hey relax, don't force yourself. You would remember it all as time comes, I think the drug is beginning to work", Fred said injecting some liquid into Collins hand and he immediately relaxed.
"I remember everythi..", Mike didn't allow him to finish his sentence as he pulled him into a reassuring hug. "It's gonna be alright", He told Collins.
Fred got up from the chair feeling the need to wee. He flushed and was about to go out, when he saw a sticker on the floor, he picked it up and headed outside.
"What's this?", He asked showing it to them.
Collins was surprised, it was the same sticker he saw in Jasmine's back. "Could it be she did it to cover the real one?", He thought about this and quickly informed his friends.
"Which side was the tattoo placed?", Mike asked.
"I only saw her back because of the dress, and I saw it at the lower part of her back at the right side", Collins said clutching unto his head, he is stressed out, probably because he is now remembering things.
"I understand now, she is Daniella, because that's the same place where she wrote our name, it might be this is a temporary sticker that comes off when in contact with water", Mike said making a merry dance.
"She is Daniella", They all chorused remembering the day they tattooed it on her back.
★
🥀Daniella🥀
I can't believe Collins could say such words to me, it hurts, it hurts Soo much, especially when coming from your loved ones.
I looked at the water in front of me and dipped my body in it, this is the swimming pool that I, Mike, Fred and Collins used to come to when we were friends. But not anymore, I smiled sadly.
I couldn't find one sticker on my body, it might have fallen off somewhere, I don't even care, because right now I want to cry out my eyes, maybe it would soothe the aching pain in my chest that Collins word did to it.
