Memories Of Us - Chapter 12 Vacation 3

Sienna opened her eyes very gently, like in slow motion. She woke up with her head hurts like she’s been knocked by a hammer. When she try to focus her mind, only blurred memories flashed by her mind. ‘Ugh… What happened? Where am I?’

“Good morning princess,” Charles sound that was deep an melodious took her mind back from wandering. Sienna tilted her head and saw Charles with his brilliant smile, waving at her, making her wide awake instantly.

“Charles? Why are you here so early?” Sienna asked after she glanced at the clock. It was only seven in the morning.

“Look at you. You are the one who doesn’t want me to go last night,” Charles pursed his lips, holding back the smile blooming on his face.

“What? What happened last night?” Sienna was asking suspiciously. It can’t be Charles has gone crazy and put a sleeping pill on her drink, right? She could only remember she drank few glasses and that’s it.

“Looks like you forget everything last night, and you were so cute last night, sigh..” Charles sighed and looked at Sienna as if she did something disappointing. Sienna was speechless. She tried to but she really can’t remember what she did last night. Her memory was all blurry.

“I don’t think I did something. What did you do to me?” Sienna squinted her eyes, suspicious.

“I didn’t do anything to you though,” Charles said with a smirk that Sienna can’t help but wanting to hit his face. Sienna felt like her life will be cut short a few years if she kept talking to Charles.

“I’ll go take a bath. You go back to your room so we can go out to find something to eat,” Sienna said before she stormed to the bathroom. Charles could only shook his head before heading back to get ready.

“Where do you want to go now?”

“How would I know? Aren’t you the one who should take me around? You said you’ll help me get my memories back.”

“Why are you angry? I was just asking you, honey. I thought you were browsing places to go on the plane?”

“Don’t honey me. I don’t know where to go. You choose,” Sienna answered without even looking at Charles. She just kept looking at the scenery around.

Charles thought for a second before he drove slowly. A melodious music from the radio playing a song that accompanies their ride.

“Stop sulking. I’ll buy you your favorite cake that you never forget to buy every time we came here.”

Sienna rolled her eyes. “I’m not sulking. And don’t treat me like a child.”

“Okay, okay. Then don’t ignore me.”

“Okay,” she agreed but she still didn’t look at Charles.

They went to a nice cafe with a France theme heavily decorated the place. It was located near the beach, so they could enjoy a nice snack with beautiful view. They took the spot right beside the window before calling the waitress.

The waitress was a pretty young girl around 20 years old. She looked at Charles shyly as if she was looking at he crush. The waitress gave the menu and waiting besides Charles while eagerly giving a few recommendations. She seems like forgetting the existance of Sienna.

“I’ll have the same with you,” Sienna said after looking at the menu for a while.

‘Well? Look at this girl,’ Sienna noticed that this girl might took a liking to Charles. Sienna silently looking back and forth from Charles face to the girl face while Charles busy ordering the cakes and drinks for both of them.

“I’ll go to the toilet first, wait for me,” Charles said, Sienna only nodded while her gaze keep following Charles.

‘This guy really is a woman magnet. Everywhere he go, girls will flock to him. What is so good about this guy anyway?’ Sienna thought, while the unwell feeling in her heart kept growing. Sienna didn’t know since when, but this weird feeling has been haunting her. She can’t really explain what exactly it is, but she really felt scared of Charles now. She felt that she need to be more cautious around Charles now.

“Sienna?” Charles’s voice took Sienna back from her thought.

“Oh, you are back?”

Charles smiled at her, “I notice that you keep looking at me so intently like that, am I that handsome? Haven’t you had enough looking at me everyday?”

Sienna didn’t even want to react anymore. She just flat out ignoring Charles. She took out a book from her small bag and started reading while waiting for their order.

“Sienna,” Charles called her after a few minutes of silence.

“Hmm?”

“Do you remember anything from this place?” Charles question successfully took back Sienna’s attention. Sienna started to look around the place, but no matter how she thought about it, this is only an ordinary cafe. Did this place has some kind of connection with her? She didn’t know. Her memory still not coming back.

Just before she asked directly to Charles, the waitress comes bringing their order. Sienna looked at waitress face that seemed in a bad mood.

“Please enjoy,” the waitress said while quickly walked out to the pantry.

“It’s your favorite cake. Let’s eat,” Charles said with a smile.

Sienna looked at the cake with a glistening strawberry on top of the cake. The cake was made beautifully she felt it was a pity to eat it. She slowly ate the cake in hope some memory will be back with each bite. But as expected, nothing comes back.

“Ugh, what’s this?” Sienna grumbled when she bite something hard on the cake. She took it out and saw a ring covered in cream. Sienna looked at Charles in a questioning manner in which Charles replied with a wide smile. He took the ring and wipe it clean with a napkin.

“I proposed to you here, and I will propose to you again here. Sienna, will you stay by my side, forever?” Charles looked at Sienna gently. Sienna blinked her eyes, didn’t know how she should react. She didn’t hate Charles, but she also didn’t love him. It is also true that they were engaged. Should she try to love him again?
