Chapter 4

"You're lucky enough that there is someone in there with you, you know." I mumbled softly as I felt my friends watching me talking to a pair of fishes at the aquarium here at the grocery store. I turned my pouty face to my friends and confirmed that they are looking at me like I am a crazy person

"Uhm Ash? Did you just talk to the fish?"

I ignored Emma's question and asked her, "How about me Ems, do you think I will grow old alone?" I asked looking at her straight in the eyes with my combo pout and a puppy eyes.

I saw my friends and my sister trying to hold their laughter just for the sake of 'my moment'

Aiden tried to look serious and console me, "Don't say things like that Ash, I know there's still many fishes out there in the sea. I'm sure you will soon find the fish that is meant for you" they all cracked as they can't hold their laughter anymore from the connection of the metaphor that's been used.

"yeah?" I snickered.

"hmhmm.. You miss her, do you?" Kyla questioned.

"uh huh. More than anything" I sighed. "but yeah I know it's all my fault" I cut her before she can speak.

We kept on walking from one stall to another as we grab the things we needed. I grabbed some chips and threw it in the cart and continued pushing the cart to our next destination. All of a sudden, I froze there standing as I saw a familiar blonde standing at the fruit section at the far-left of the store. She seemed busy examining the fruits while leaning at her push car.

I inhaled sharply and suddenly felt so nervous with what is happening. I felt the butterflies on my stomach were back.

Is that, is that Spencer? I thought to myself. I'm not really sure because she's facing her back on us, she changed a bit after all.

My friends must have noticed the tenseness of my body and looked at the direction that had caught my attention.

"What is it Ash?" I heard Kyla asked from my left.

"I.. I think that's Spencer" I point my chin to her direction.

"Spencer? Your Spencer?!"

"I guess" I nodded, not taking my eyes off her.

"Come on, let's check if it's her!" Aiden suggested with excitement and Kyla rolled her eyes him.

"No ass, she can't see me!" I hissed.

"Oh come on, we're not even sure if it is really her" and of course being curious as I am, "Ugh fine, let's just check ok?"

I hesitated for a moment but started to approach towards her direction. I took a deep breath then I walked slowly and hide from the corner of the shelf. I looked for another shelf near her and when I spot one, I ran to it and hide again just like a ninja. I wouldn't deny that I was enjoying this and I felt like a spy agent tucking and rolling as I approach one shelf to another as I get closer to her.

I felt my nervousness intensify as I reached the shelf nearest from her. I ducked to hide on the low shelf and peeked from the edge to get a better view of her face.

"Ash, I think it's really her" I almost jumped clutching my chest when I realized that Emma followed me. I wonder if she also did all my ninja moves. Anyway, "yeah" I breathe out as I realized it's really her. But I thought she's no longer here in L.A.?

Her hair grew longer and shinier. It is also now have light curls on the ends. She's wearing a jean shorts that shows her legs that is now toner than before. She's also wearing a white v-neck shirt with matching her sneakers. She's so beautiful.

I felt my chest tightens as I got lost on her presence. It made me wonder how I managed to live without her. I miss her so much, I want to wrap my arms around her and kiss her like I used to.

Emma suddenly got my attention as she stands up from our hiding place. I already predicted what she's going to do so I start to panic and I hear her about to call out, "Spenc-"

Jumping at her and covering her mouth was my reflex's initial reaction. It caused us to stumble and fell on the floor face first.Oh great!

I am groaning in pain on top of Emma as notice there is someone looking down at us. I was looking up blindly at her as the light grazing at her back. I blocked the light using my arm and squint my eyes for a better a view.Am I already dead? Is this heaven? why is there an Angel in front of me?

oh my Lesbian God! My eyes widen in realization. I stood up abruptly and straightened my clothes. We must have caught her attention by the stunt that I pulled in with my friend.

Oh boy, what should I do, what should I do? oh screw it! I decided to man up and walk closer to her.

She becomes a bit cautious as I got closer to. When we are face to face, the butterflies in my stomach increased tenfold. My heart is pounding and my hands are sweating as I look straight in her eyes.

"Ho- How are you Spence?" her expression was unreadable as she looked at me then and became it blank as she speaks,

"Who are you?" wait what?!

She must have seen my crestfallen face as she continued, "Do I know you?" she looked confused now.

I can't answer her as I remained stunned by her queries.

"I'm sorry if I can't remember you, ma'am. It must be because of my Amnesia, I'm not able to remember my memories. So if you'll excuse me, I'm sorry again, bye." then she smiled and walked away from me.

I repeatedly open my mouth trying to speak and close it when nothing's coming out as if I'm a fish as I watched her walking away pushing her cart to the opposite direction.
