***

The next day, Matt, Zann' s ex-boyfriend, visited her. 

He asked worriedly, "What the hell happened to you?''

 "Who the heck are you?'' Zann asked. 

"Er... Javier, care to help me out here? I get that she has amnesia, but... argh just help!" I stifled a laugh as I glanced at Matt's bewildered face. 

"Matt, your ex-boyfriend." Zann raised her eyebrow and shrugged. Matt sighed and went away. I laughed silently at Matt's reaction. 

"So, Javier, tell me. Who is my boyfriend now?"

I looked away shyly. I couldn't bring myself to tell her. 

" I... I dunno." I settled for that. 

Zann rolled her eyes and my heart raced. I really hoped she wouldn't make me say it. 

"I know you're hiding something, but I'll let you off easy this time round." she laughed. I smiled back at her. Her steady glance held my eyes and I looked back.

Without noticing it, I leaned in to nearly kiss her. I stopped myself just inches away from her and pulled away. 

Zann frowned and asked,"What's the problem?"

 I flinched. I nearly did what I sworn never to do to any girl I liked. 

Scare her by going too fast.

I apologised to her. "Sorry,"

She looked away, confused and shy. I took a deep breath and said slowly to her, " I'm, er, actually your boyfriend." Zann's eyes widened.
