Chapter 9: The Accompaniment
JILLIAN
My day went normal and when Angelo showed up again, he is back to his normal self as if nothing happened. Seeing him only reminds me of the things that I don’t know.
“Do you want to do something today?” he asked.
“Chores?”
“No. I mean other than that.” I furrowed my eyebrows since I can’t seem to think about anything. “Come one, don’t you know how to have fun?”
“Fun?” I think I never know what that even feels like. I’m clueless.
“I’ll help you with chores, we are going somewhere,” he said. After he really did help me with everything, he took me somewhere. He took me on a river that I didn’t even know exist near our place.
I don’t want my feelings for him to deepen that much so I didn’t allow him to hold my hand anymore. We have a basket of food good for us. Hailey also came with us like I’m having a chaperone. The two ran to the water like kids w

Angelo Chapter 10: The Feelings
JILLIANIt’s morning again and I’m busy like always. He came visible again wearing his attractive face. I tried ignoring him but he started helping me. He grabbed on the vacuum that I’m holding to do it himself. I have no choice but do something else.“Are you okay?” he asked while I’m dusting the cabinet of my parent’s room.“Yeah.” My short reply made him all silent as we finish everything. I don’t if he finds it weird but I hope not. It’s not good if he suddenly asks what going on with me. I might burst my feelings out and he will ghost me.I went to the kitchen fast to take a chair and use it to climb the tall cabinet dusting the top. I don’t know why Hailey suddenly pushed the chair as if it’s an accident. My body jolted as I tightly close my eyes to wait for my body to feel the floor. But then I didn’t, I was between Angelo’s arms when I open my eyes. It made me startled seeing how close we are.

JILLIANBefore I could lose Angelo, I immediately change myself acting so normal when he is around. Like always, he is with me again, helping me with chores. Today, he is wiping the dusty window pane while I am busy folding my clothes. The only thing that’s on my head now is to change my life just like what he wanted to see.“When is Carina coming back?” I asked breaking the silence.“I don’t know. She didn’t state any fixed date but after she takes care of everything, she will come back here,” he answered.“So, you won’t be coming here anymore.”“Nothing will change. I will still visit you and bring her too.” He walked towards me after he is done. “It’s the last window. What am I gonna do next?”“Rest,” I replied shortly and continue what I’m doing. I can tell he is staring at me even I’m not looking at him and it’s awkward.“Why do you have to be born a Sagi

JILLIANForgetting about the weird thing he just said, we both landed in the park unconsciously. My money is just good for street foods so I bought them for both of us. He didn’t complain about it and just tried the food. He didn’t ask a lot of stuffs to and just follow where I go.We also went to the zoo.“Why does animals has to be like this?” he asked and I just shrugged. I took him out fast since he doesn’t look happy about those animals on different cages.“We have to help them,” he kept saying while I’m pulling him to the exit. People are staring at us now so I exerted all the force left in me until we are finally outside.“It’s complicated,” I just told him. We walked like a meter but he is still glancing at his back to the zoo. I have to distract him, but how?I tried thinking much harder on where to bring him. Realizing that it’s afternoon, I pull him agai

JILLIAN“You seem really weird today. Aren’t you gonna talk to me? I mean, we are done with everything here and I’m inviting you to the mansion—““Do you know someone named Selena?” I cut him off when I came back to my senses. It looks like he didn’t see it coming and wasn’t prepared. His face is surprised.It took a minute before he went back to normal. “Why do you ask?”“Come on, now you are throwing me a question too. I need a yes or a no.” I crossed my arms getting serious to the topic. He went to the door opening it.“Well, the answer will be there in the mansion. Let’s do something else that will surely help you gain back your memory,” he said waiting for me to go with him.“You are confusing me,” I walked like a sulking kid to him and walk outside after locking the door.“Jillian, are you sure you wanna know about Selena?” he asked.“I

JILLIANAngelo sent me home and even sent me to bed after I have eaten. I acted normal though I don’t feel right. I just can’t stop liking him that easy. He watched me as I turn to the side cuddling with my bolster. He suddenly went near me caressing my hair. The next thing he did made my heart crazy. He kissed me on the head.“Goodnight Selena,” he whispered.“What?”“Hmm?” His hand is still on my head.“Why did you do that? And why would you whisper something like that?” I asked very confused and bothered.“I always did this to you since before. Since the very beginning of your life,” he said.“Why would you do that?” I asked another question.“You we’re just a kid when she died and entrust you to me. I promised I will watch you all my life. History simply repeats itself Jillian, but I will do my best, it will be different in this life

Angelo suddenly appeared in front of me that I screamed.“It’s just me,” he said when I shut my mouth covering it with my hand.“You startled me,” I rolled my eyes and grab on the vacuum cleaner to continue what I am doing. He is here again helping me with everything.“Let’s go to the mansion today.”“Why?”“Carina is coming back today,” he gave me a quick answer sounding so excited. My energy went down fast, as if I worked a lot already. I stopped and then decided to continue.

I’m jealous.“Hey, forget about them for now,” Hailey spoke and drag me to completely step inside the house.After finishing everything, Angelo and Carina showed themselves to me. And I’m looking at them all confused while they are both smiling from ear to ear.“Why are you guys here?” I asked opening the door wide open. “Come in.”“There’s no need.

ANGELOJillian stopped walking and faced me after I mentioned her surname. Her face is wrinkled and curious about it now. I can read it. Even she won’t say it out loud. I admit she has grown into another woman. This is not the Selena I know. Well she is not her anymore, she is Jillian.“Do you know my father?” she asked while we are halted under a shade of a tree.“Why do you ask?” I also give her a question to avoid answering it.
