Felicity's POV
"No Felix. It looks to me like everyone has given up except you" I say this and he suddenly looks up at me with an expression I can't read.
"What?" he asks sincerely.
"Listen to me carefully Felix. As much as it seems impossible right now, you can move on with your life without giving up on your past. It's honestly bullshit when people say that in order to live your life to the fullest, you need to forget the past. Because you can't just forget your past, Fel. You can't just tell yourself that you need to let go and expect that when you wake up tomorrow, you'll not remember what happened to you. It is always gonna be a part of you whether you want it or not. Something or someone is always gonna be a reminder of what you're trying so hard to forget. So what you do is, you stop trying to forget and you start focusing on accepting the fact that it did happen. You can't change facts. You can't change what happened. But sometimes, how you look at it makes all the difference in the world" I tell him.
I am talking like my idiotic therapists. I mean I know they were just trying to help but I didn't need to hear it at all. Felix does.
"Wow. I've never heard you speak this much. And so good for that matter" he says and looks at me in awe.
I chuckle and lean back into the- wait a minute.
"What did you say his name was again?" I ask suddenly springing back up.
"Who? Dylan?" he asks and eats his food.
"Dylan?" I ask. No no no, it can't be. It'd be too much of a coincidence. Should I ask for a photo? That'd be really weird. I don't even know the guy. I think.
"Why? What's wrong?" Felix asks me.
"Oh, nothing's wrong. It's just that I knew a Dylan too. Doesn't matter. You tell me, what are you gonna do now?" I ask him.
"I don't know. Do you think I should stop looking for him?" he asks me.
I sigh and think for a second.
"First of all, it doesn't matter what I think. But if you really wanna know then I think you should listen to both yourself and your friends and mom. You shouldn't devote all of your time looking for him. Because that would mean that you won't be with the people who are here for you right now. But you also can't give up on your best friend who has always been there for you. So if I were you, I'd spend my time with my friends and family and then once in a while I'd dedicate myself on looking for my best friend. And if you explain all of this to your friends and mom, maybe they'll even help you out" I tell him and pick up my burger.
"And if I forgot to tell you this earlier, this burger is really amazing. I'm kind of in love with it" I tell him enjoying this heavenly burger. He looks at me and smiles.
I haven't seen him smile this genuinely yet. It looks good on him. I smile back at him.
"I didn't know you were such a good counsellor. Or better, therapist" he says still smiling at me.
"Well, what can I say. You bring out the worst in me" I say and laugh.
He chuckles as well and says "and I'd say that the world hasn't seen the best of you"
I look up and he's already boring his eyes into mine. And I can't look away. I don't want to. But little do I know that this is going to be a timeless beginning of everything.
A voice suddenly interrupts our little marathon "Felix! My boy! Where is my other grandchild?" an old woman who I'm guessing is his step-grandmother come's to our booth with her arms open. I already love her enthusiasm.
Felix gets up, smiles at her and hugs her back.
"Sam is at home Abizza" he says and stands beside her.
"And who is this young lady?" she asks once she notices that I'm sitting here.
"Abizza, this is Felicity- my friend. And Fel, this is Marie Evans. And she made the burger you were eating earlier" he says.
"Wow. The burger was delicious. Do you really make all the orders by yourself, Marie?" I ask in awe.
"Just the burgers dear. And you can call me Abizza. Everyone calls me that" she smiles at me sweetly.
"Sure" I smile back at her.
***
We've been talking for more than an hour now.Her two employess are looking after the other orders right now. Abizza is extremely sweet and really treats Felix like her own grandson. All three of us are bonding weirdly well and it has also lightened up the mood because the only thing we talked about since coming here was about Dylan. I could see how much it upset Felix.
I'm still freaked by the coincidence though. He said that Dylan disappeared almost ten months ago. And that is exactly when it happened.
Anyways, I can worry about that later.
"Although, I still think you should hire more help Abizza. You literally have two people working here except you and this is a pretty big restaurant for only three people to do all the work" I tell her while eating my second burger today.
"Oh, honey. I really don't need help. Jessica takes care of all the other orders except for the burgers and milkshakes and Wyatt is the cashier. And the cleaner. And the waiter. I really do need more people, don't I?" Abizza asks Felix when she realises I'm right.
Felix smiles at her and nods.
"But I have already created a short and sweet family here. I actually like Jess and Wyatt and kids these days have horrible attitudes. It's hard to find someone I like" she says.
"I can ask my friends if any of them need a part-time job. You do like all of them" Felix says.
"Okay, okay" she says and then sighs. And then I don't know what but she suddenly realises something and looks at me and smiles. Oh, no no no no.
"What? Me?" I ask. She nods.
"I wouldn't mind working for you but if I work anywhere near these burgers then I'm gonna get fat in a week" I tell her. It actually isn't a bad idea but mom and dad would never let me.
"You don't eat as much when you're constantly around the smell" she explains quickly. I don't wanna disappoint her. Will mom and dad understand?
I'm only out with Felix right now because Fran convinced them.
"Can I think about it?" I ask her nervously.
"Sure honey. Give me a call once you decide" she tells me.
"Ya. And don't worry. Even if I can't, I'll find you someone who can"
