True Love

Chapter 11: Wish Upon A Star?

Mark's POV

"What kind of relationship do I have with you?"
Shina asked.

"You was my girlfriend..."

"The one who is so precious to me, you didn't like me at first but somehow we got together, I love you so much then and so as now, when I saw you again, I was so happy but afraid too..."

Those words, I can only say them in my mind...I have no courage to tell her...tell her everything, tell her how much I love you.

"We were friends."
I said.

"Just friend?"
She asked.

"Ya, just friend."
I answered.

"I thought we would be more then just a friend, like maybe a close friend or something."
She sighed in disappointment.

"I'll be in my room, get some rest too, You seems really tired."
She said and then dragged her luggage to her room.

Shina shut her door behind and I threw myself onto the couch. I haven't been in under the same roof alone with Shina for so long, but what's the point to be happy when she don't even remember me?

—————————————————————
It's 6pm now and tonight we have a dinner to attend with all the big company from all around the world who wants to help developing Skyway.

I buttoned up my shirt and tied up my tie. I wore my blazer and looked into the mirror for a second to admire the handsome man in front oh wait...it's me.

I combed up my hair and checked my watch again. It's 6:30pm, we should be on our way soon.

I twisted the door knob and there was no one in the living room. I walked over to Shina's room and knocked for a few times. There was no respond and so I knocked again.

"Shina? We should be going now."

Clicked...the door pushed opened and I was stunned. My eyes were widen and my body were frozen.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Shina apologised and her big eyes were staring at me with thoughts coming in and out of her mind.

"Do I look weird?"
She questioned.

I was snapped back into reality as I shook my head.

"No...not at all, come on, we should be on our way."
I turned around and head for the door.

I waited for Shina in the elevator and we headed down together.

Shina's POV

We were in the car and my hands were rubbing against each other. I feel cold, even though I was wearing a long sleeve top.

The air conditioner blowed against my bear skin which helps my nervousness to get stronger.

"Are you alright?"
Mark asked.

"Ya...I'm just nervous."
I stated.

"Nervous? Why would you be?"
He let out slight chuckled as he smiled with that question.

"What if I messed up? What if I said something that disappointed or offended the others?"
I asked.

"Why would you, you don't have to worry, everything will go just fine."
Mark smiled.

Somehow...just a smile, it made me calmed down. I felt warmer and my hands stopped rubbing against each other.

I smiled and as the car stopped. I got out of the car and walked into this enormous building with Mark.

It was a hotel. It looks really grand. We were lead to a room and there...sat all the different tycoon from different companies.

"Mr. Mark, we've been waiting for your arrival."
A man came forward and shakes our hand.

"Of course, sorry to keep you waiting Mr. Smith."
Mark shakes his hand and his American accent were so good and fluent, just a small sentenced, I feel a bit nervous now.

"And may I introduced to you Ms. Shina Tan."
Mark introduced me.

"Nice to meet you."
Mr. Smith said and offered his hand to shake with mine as I smiled and shook his hand.

"It's a pleasure to meet you sir."
I said.

"Well if everyone is present, then let's start our meeting."
Mark smiled and we were lead to our seat.

The meeting took hours and Mark looked so strict in meeting like these. He was serious and the way he answered all of the questions were so straight forward and he make sure to give the answer that would satisfied them.

I was like a statue doing most of the listening, I don't have much experienced in meeting like these but at least, I did tried my best to satisfied the clients.

The meeting was over and it's almost 11pm. We went out to the hall and there's still some events going on.

"You did pretty well out there."
Mark complimented.

"Thanks, I'll take that compliment."

"Here, a reward."
Mark offered me a glass of champagne and I gladly accepted it.

"But maximum only 2 glasses."
Mark stated.

Before I could take a sip, I stared at him with a confusion thought.

"If you got drunk, I can't handle you and plus...your boyfriend will kill me."
Mark gave a slight chuckled as he walked away.

Mark said he will be talking to the other CEO so I was alone. I walked around smiling at different people and they all offered me a toast.

Ok...I kinda went over the limit and got more then 2 glasses. I started to feel a little bit dizzy and I went out to the balcony to get some fresh air.

I looked up and there's a lot of stars tonight. I smiled like an idiot as I started to count them one by one.

"Didn't I said 2 glasses only?"

I turned around and it's Mark. I squeezed my eyes as I feel like the world is moving around.

"Oh...markiepooh!"
I smiled like an idiot as I walked towards him.

My legs felt weak and I feel like falling but I was caught.

I heard sounds of chuckled.

"Mark...look there's so many stars tonight."
I said pointing towards the sky.

"Do you have any wish?"
I asked.

"Oh...you just wish that...you and Jessica, will be together forever!"
I blurted out.

"For me...I wish I can have my memories back...I want to know everything! Everything that I used to know."

Mark's POV

Looking at Shina always made me smile. Even though she don't remember who I used to be to her, I still feel happy just by seeing her smile.

"For me...I wish I can have my memories back...I want to know everything! Everything that I used to know."
Shina stated and she turned to me and smile.

My lips lifted as I stared at her's.

"I wish I can have you back."
I said.

I pulled her closer to me and our lips touched. I hugged her tightly and kissed her passionately. I miss those lips...they haven't changed, they are still the same.

Just today, even if it's just this moment, I wish to keep her with me forever, I wish this moment can stop.

"Shina...I miss you."
