Don't you remember

Chapter 4 : Georgie

Adele's POV

I woke up next to Simon, his eyes were still closed and I took profit of the situation to look at him. His face was still blurred but I was sure that he was beautiful, I could guess he had a beard. I pressed my nose on his, it was my method to wake up... Who ? Oh, fuck I didn't remember. He woke up and looked at me, I smiled, I felt like I knew him for ages ! But in reality I knew him for... I didn't remember either. Suddenly something rang, Simon got up and took something in his left hand ;

-"Hello ? he said"

-"Hello ! I replied"

He stared at me and smiled, then he began to talk alone :

-" Okay, so I'm taking her from today to Monday ? he asked"

Who the hell was he talking to ?

-" Yes I'm okay if it's like this don't worry ! he continued"

He looked at me and rose his eyes to the ceiling:

-" Clary ! I forgot to tell you that my cousin Claire was here for a week ! he said"

What ? Someone must come ? Maybe Simon will tell me to go away from here ! Where will I go ? I didn't even know where I was living ! My hands shook nervously, I was about to cry when he suddenly said ;

-"Okay changing our plans Adele ! My daughter must come today, you'll be my cousin alright ? Because nobody should know you're here ! Will you remember ? "

Simon's POV

I was pretty embarrassed ! What if Georgie discovers that Claire is in reality one of the biggest singer in the world ? This couldn't happen ! I told Adele not to move from my house, shut down all the blinds so that nobody could see her through the windows. I locked the door behind me as well ; if Adele didn't remember where she was, she couldn't go away through the windows nor open the door. This time, I took precautions, I didn't want to loose the singer one more time. I walked downtown and found the wig shop that was just across the main street. I entered, chose a long black haired wig, paid for it and rushed towards my house : I must pick Georgie at 12 am and it was already 11:45 am ! I entered in the house and told Adele :

-" Make yourself a ponytail ! And put that wig on ! She mustn't recognize you ! "

-" Who ? she asked"

If before I was keeping calm, now I was pretty angry, she was forgetting everything !

-"My daughter ! My daughter is coming Adele, remember ? I yelled"

Adele was looking at me, she was very calm but I could see that she was pretty angry too, she came closer and whispered ;

-"Listen Simon, it's not my fault if I forgot everything ! "

-" I'm sorry Adele, but I'm so nervous, what if my daughter discovers everything ? I confessed"

-" No she won't ! We won't make it happen right Simon ? she said, putting her hand on mine "

Adele's POV

Simon was nervous. Very nervous. I didn't like that. What if I forget that his daughter mustn't know who I am ? Simon would kill me ! I must remember ! I must remember ! Simon left to pick up his daughter, he closed the door behind me : why ? Maybe he didn't believe in me. Why is it forbidden for his daughter to know who I really am ? I think he told me but as always, I didn't remember. Shit. Why do I have a shitty memory ? What did happen to me ? I didn't remember. All these questions will stay unsolved, all I can say now is : I don't remember. Suddenly I heard the car's door, Simon opened the door and yelled :

-" Claire ! We're home ! "

Claire ? Who's that ? I stood up from the sofa, walked in the corridor and saw Simon accompagned by a 7 year old girl.

-" Oh hello Claire ! This is Georgie, my daughter ! Simon explained"

-" But I'm not... I began "

-" Come on Georgie ! Say hello to my cousin ! Simon said"

The little girl held her hand out and waited. Waited for what ? I ignored it !

-" You're cousin is pretty weird dad ! she finally said You don't know how to shake hands ? she asked looking at me "

-" I may not know how to shake hands but I know how to kick bums little one ! I said looking at her in both eyes. "
