I hate that now Day is in my world again. Don't get me wrong I still love Day and he being a gentleman to me offering me to walk to Tess's house. I don't to hurt him again like I did a decade back. I kept my lips pursed the whole walk to her house. Eden and I kept sneaking glances at each other behind Day's back. He rang the doorbell and Tess was already at the door.
"Eden! June! Day! I see you found each other! Come in!" Tess said extra cheerfully.
I followed her into her house and pulled her aside in the kitchen and closed the door so no one can hear us.
"So you like my surprise huh June?" Tess said mischievously.
"No! Yes! Maybe! I don't know but…."my voice trailed off.
"But, you don't want to hurt him. Of course you don't" she murmured.
"What is that supposed to mean?!" My voice getting louder.
"It means-"She was cut off by Eden opening the door.
"Uh are you two okay in here?" He asked.
"Yes, Eden its fine" she smile sweetly at him.
He blushed and I saw budding romance between them. A grin smacked onto my face and I'm pretty sure a mischievous look appeared in my eye. Eden turned to look at me and blushed even more. Eden and I had kept in contact during those 10 years. I was as close to him as I was with Tess. Tess followed his gaze and her face went tomato red.
"It's not what you think!" Eden said but at the same time Tess yelled out "June, I have a boyfriend!"
"Okay, okay guys but I know love when I see it." I said.
At this point Day appeared, asking if everything was alright. A dark voice inside my head wanted to scream "No it's not because you don't remember me!" I quickly pushed that thought away.
"No, everything is fine here Daniel. Now come on dinner is ready." Tess walked out and placed the food in the dining room on the table.
We were eating garlic alfreado and Eden and I shared unnerving glances. Ay took a notice because he was across from me and was starting at me. He cleared his throat.
"So did you two date before?" Day asked.
As much as I wanted to burst out laughing I didn't because that would be rude to him.
"No." Eden cut off the conversation and gave a stare that said "Seriously? Shouldn't you of all people know that?"
Day didn't notice and kept on staring at me as if he was trying to remember me. "Of course he is, because apparently I wasn't important enough for him to remember" that same voice yelled in my head. I cleared my throat.
"Well I have to get going. Thank you Tess for the food. I wish I can stay longer but it's getting late and I have work tomorrow."
"I'll go with you. It's nighttime you shouldn't be going alone" Day said.
"I'll be alright" I said coolly
"June." Tess said coldly.
I hesitated but then agreed. He followed me out the door and the walk back to my apartment was awkward.
"I know you. We were drinking wine and I kissed you. Was that you?" he asked.
"Yes, but that was the last time I ever saw you." the lie came straight out of my mouth.
We arrived at the doorsteps of my house when we both parted our separate ways. As soon as I crashed onto my bed I feel asleep thinking about that one night we both had the day before the war.
I woke up to knocking on my door the next day. I quickly changed in record time and brushed my hair as quickly as I could. I opened the door only to find Day standing there looking dashing as ever.
"Day um I mean Daniel what brings you here?" I questioned.
"Um sorry if I woke you up. Can I come in?"
I opened the door wider as a gesture to come in.
"Yesterday at night you lied to me. I remember you coming into my hospital room and you saving from my execution." He said bearing into my eyes.
"That must have been someone else then." I said sternly.
"No it was you. You called me Day like two seconds ago. "He insisted.
"That was only because I knew you as Day not Daniel."
"June please. I want to remember you. I want to remember if we shared something special." His voice killed me to see him like this. "What are you hiding? Why are not telling me anything?"
"Look Daniel I did some things you will never forgive me for. When I saw that you didn't remember me, I went and took it as a chance to not tell you what happened, so you won't be hurt. Every time I looked at you, back then there was always pain and sadness in your eyes. I also figured that you didn't care about me enough to remember me." I said.
There it is. I knew that someday those words will come out. My breathing hitched and tears were starting to pool into my eyes. I would've fell he hadn't caught me in time. Darkness swallowed me whole as I fell asleep in Day's secure arms.
