Snow
Sam and I sit in the consulting room for about an hour before the doctor comes in with the test results.“From our results, the ZIP drug is in every system in your body. It’s not harmful at all so don’t be worried.” The doctor says as he sits down behind his desk. “It’ll slowly leave your body as you recover your memories .""When will that be?" Sam asks"Well you said that you remembered something yesterday right?" I nod and he continues, "It depends. I can't really say when it'll be completely out of your system. But in the meantime you can see a therapist to help you recover your memories. You also have to be very active too to speed up the process.""Okay." I say with a small smile, not really knowing how to respond to this."Here's Doctor Stella Gates' card. Call her for an appointment and let her know that I recommended her to you. She's a really busy woman but she'll make time for you when she knows that I recommended her." The doctor hands me a business card and I take it and slip it into my pocket."Thanks Doctor." Sam and I say.As we get up to take our leave the doctor calls my name. "I'm really sorry for what happened to you Miss Jenkins but I can assure you that you'll recover soon.""Thanks." He extends his hand for me to shake and I do so. Sam and I thank him again and we leave the hospital. "Wanna get coffee?" Sam asks me as we sit in the car. The driver looks at me through the rearview mirror, waiting for an answer before he drives out of the parking lot."Sure." I say and he nods driving."There's this really great coffee place called Matt's Coffee house that Cody and I always buy our coffee from. They make the best coffee." Sam tells me, her excitement spreading to me. For some reason, the place sounds very familiar."There's this employee at the Coffee House that makes really good coffee. The manager always made her serve us. She's great but we never see her." Sam smiles to her while I watch her."We're here Miss Smokes and Miss Jenkins." The driver announces. He pulls up at the parking lot in front of the Coffee House.Immediately I step out of the vehicle, a wave of familiarity hits me. I stare at the building before me and try to point my finger on what's bothering me.Sam pats me, pulling me out of my trance and we both enter the Coffee House. The smell of hot coffee immediately fills my nostrils, bringing back memories of when I used to work here. The feeling you get when you take in delicious milky coffee, going down your throat, waking up your senses and putting a smile on your face.Sam notices my smile and returns it and gestures for us to take a seat at one of the empty tables. I look around and notice that the place is almost empty since it's afternoon. Even the cashier and waitress behind the counter looked bored. Then I gasp.I used to work here!But I'm an investigative reporter so I probably did this as a part time thing. Sam gazes at me, looking puzzled and as I'm about to utter a word, a waitress walks up up us.She glances at Sam and then at me and frowns. "Lily? What the hell?"I mirror her expression. "I'm sorry who are you?"She scoffs and rolls her eyes. "Quit playing games with me. Chuck and I have been calling you and trying to reach you but you never answer. We even drove to your apartment to look for you but you weren't there. Why did you stop coming? D'you quit? What the hell happened to you?"I notice her name tag, Amanda Walker. The name sounds very familiar and for some reason I hate her already."I'm sorry Amanda but I don't know what you're talking about?" I say slowly and politely."You can't just come over to customers and bombard them with questions when you're supposed to be serving us." Sam comes to my rescue."Oh, Miss Smokes. I apologise but Lily isn't a customer, she's an employee." She explains to Sam once she recognizes her."I don't think so." Sam shakes her head at her.Amanda huffs in frustration and stomps off. I smile at Sam and she returns it. "What was that all about?"I shrug "I don't know. But there's something I have to tell you." Sam nods giving me her attention and I continue. "This place feels really familiar and I have the feeling that I used to work here."Sam raises her eyebrows and I elaborate, "What I mean is that I just remembered that I am an employee." I say, my voice sounding almost like a whisper."What?!" Sam whisper-yells. "Why didn't you tell me before all this just happened?""Sorry." I give her an apologetic smile."We have to go and apologise.""But what do we say to her? We can't just say I've lost my memory because someone gave me an overdose of ZIP." I point out and Sam nods.Amanda walks up to us with some guy following behind her. He immediately frowns when our eyes meet. Manager Chuck Dawson was on his name tag.I swallow as they both stare hard at me."Lily?" He finally says."We're really sorry for the misunderstanding earlier. Sn- Lily is very very sick and it has affected her memory. She just remembered she's an employee." Sam explains with a wide grin. She emphasised on the very. "She also lost her phone and doesn't live at her old place anymore. She'll be back to work soon."The manager and Amanda simultaneously avert their attention to Sam. Then Chuck smiles at her. "Oh Miss Smokes. I didn't see you there. Forgive my manners." Then he turns to me with an evidently forced smile. "Lily isn't feeling well? I'm sorry. I hope you get better soon Lily."He says with a cold tone that I almost didn't notice. I smile back at him as he walks away and find Amanda still standing there."I'm sorry about earlier Lily. Get well soon." She says but she didn't look like she meant it. "So what can I get you?""The usual." Amanda writes down in her notepad, gives me a last glance and walks away."I don't think I like them." I tell Sam immediately Amanda is out earshot. She giggles with a slow nod and then her eyes widen."That's probably why you make amazing coffee!" She exclaims. "Cody told me that you made him coffee yesterday and when he drank it, it tasted really familiar. What's even more awesome is that you're probably the employee who makes us coffee."I smile at her. It did make sense. That's probably why Cody liked it. "I guess so.""Then why did we never see you? It's like they were trying to hide you. I'll have Cody deal with them for that. ""Nah, that's alright. They probably had their reasons." I wave her off.Sam is about to say something when her phone rings."Hold up." She raises a finger at me and answers. "Cody? It's Sam." She groans and listens quietly. "Oh.""What? What is it?" I ask her, feeling neveous all of a sudden."Your apartment." She says and I swallow hard. This is probably not good.Cody "Have a minute to spare?" Lee asks, peeking his head through my office door. "Come in." I answer and he enters. "Where's Sam?" "She's running an errand for me." "With a lady? Who's she?" Lee asks with interest, sitting on one of the chairs in front of my desks. I groan inwardly. "How do you know about her?" "So you do have a new girl! Finally." He grinned. "Kylie asked me about her the other day." "How does Kylie know about her?" He shrugs. "Beats me. I didn't ask because I didn't believe her. What's her name?" "Is that what you came here to talk about?" I frown. "No and yes." He nods. "No?" "Mother called me this morning, saying she wanted to meet us three." He suddenly grew serious. "Why does she want to meet the three of us?" My frown grows deeper. "I have no idea but I also don't want to go." I nod slowly, growing more and more angry at the sound of meeting Mother and my sister. "But she said it's urgent." I relax in my seat and rub my temples to calm myself do
Cody After calling Sam and telling her about the explosion at Snow's apartment, I quickly rush out of the men's room. "Lee, we're leaving." I call him. I don't give them time to comprehend what I just said. Lee gives me a questioning look and both Mother and Kylie look confused. I ignore them and walk out of the restaurant without uttering a word. "Cody!" Lee shouts from behind me, but I keep walking towards my car. "Can you slow down? You just left Mother and Kylie in there without saying anything." "Lee. This is more important." I state. "What is?" "That's irrelevant. So shut up and let's go. Unless you still want to have an awkward lunch with them." Lee heaves a defeated sigh and sits in the car. We pull out of the parking lot and drive to the apartment building. ***** The completely demolished apartment building has now turned into a crime scene. There are a lot of policemen securing the area, and people swarming the area, trying to find out what's going on. Parker walks up
Snow Hugging Mr Wells just felt right. When he pulled me in, I was a bit startled because he doesn't look like the touchy-feely type but I hugged him back and felt myself slowly calming down. I felt comfortable and safe in his arms. I wasn't sure why and I'm still not sure. It was soothing to be in his arms, I guess. I tried to ignore the emotions I felt the entire day. Sadness, anger, worry and frustration. Immediately I was left alone in the kitchen, I broke down in tears. I couldn't keep it in anymore. But when Mr Wells embraced me, it all went away. And I was glad it did. Mr Wells took me to my room and left me without saying a word. At least I was able to sleep without finding it difficult to do so like the nights before. I actually slept peacefully. So when I woke up this morning, I decided to do something to show Mr Wells that I appreciated what he did yesterday. But luck just wasn't on my side. After I got out of bed, I felt wet and sticky and smelly. The bed was stained w
Snow I wasn't sure if I wanted to return the phone and buy a new one or not. So as we drove to Mr Wells' office, I thought carefully about it. "Sir, I don't think I know your name and it wouldn't be nice if I kept calling you driver or sir all the time." I speak politely. "What's your name sir?" He smiles at me through the rearview mirror. "My name is Joseph Sawyer." He answers. "Okay. Mr Sawyer." "No Miss, I prefer you call me Joseph." "Then I also prefer you call me Lily...or Snow. You can call me any of them." We both share a laugh and I continue to ask him. "Do you think that it will be rude if I return the phone Mr Wells bought me?" "Lily...or Snow," He begins and I chuckle. "I've known Mr Wells for a while now and I know that he doesn't really like it when people refuse his offer, especially when he gives them no choice but to accept it." I scrunch up my face, "I'm sorry Joseph but I'm confused." "What I'm saying is that, I think it will be best if you just keep the phon
Snow "Hello you." She says and walks slowly towards me, like a predator that has cornered its prey and is about to pounce and devour it. Shit scared is what I'm feeling at the moment. This lady looks taller than me as she stands before me, eying me up and down like an item that needs to thrown into the garbage. I feel the need to run and hide but my feet are glued to where they are and won't budge. She is very intimidating. As we stare at each other and I look into those grey eyes, I slowly gain back my confidence. "Hi." I respond firmly. "Okay, back off Kylie." Lee says and stands between us. Kylie moves backwards as Lee pushes me behind him and Sam quietly walks out of the room. "Introduce me Lee." She calmly demands. “I don’t think I know this one.”"She doesn't need to know who you are. Just leave before Cody finds you here and becomes even more pissed than he already is." "Why? Because of her?" As she speaks, her eyes never leave mine. "Kylie, leave." She completely igno
Cody I'm lost of words. I feel ambushed. I try to deny that Snow did not just do what she did but no matter how many times I do so, I feel frustrated. Never has anyone, especially a woman who isn’t Sam, talked to me like that. If there was an award for that, Snow would've won one. She leaves me in the office baffled and speechless. And I feel like there's an earthquake in my mind because I can't seem to gather my thoughts. Lee smirks from beside me when he sees my shocked face and walks away whistling. Sam also snickers and walks away. I stomp to my office in frustration. The fact that she did this to me in front of everyone was a bit humiliating. And I hate to admit it. I'm so annoyed and frustrated that I can't even concentrate on my work. I want to be angry but I can't and I have no idea why. What even pisses me off more is that fiesty women turn me on. And Snow is just that. She turned me on without even breaking a sweat. Without knowing what she was doing. She's innocent. I
Cody It was hard for me to fall asleep but eventually I did. When I wake up, I feel like I had been hit by a bulldozer. My head is aching so much that I'm afraid it's going to explode soon and my intestines feel twisted. I don't usually get drunk this much. I groan and get out of bed, dragging myself to the bathroom to clean up. That's when I notice a bottle of Tylenol pills and a glass of water on my nightstand. Too tired to think about who put it there, I shrug and take the pills. I feel my insides grumble and hurry to the bathroom to empty the contents of my stomach into the toilet, my throat burning as the bile rushes out of my mouth. An unpleasant feeling settles in the pit of my stomach. I sit on the toilet seat and try to gather my thoughts. Then I remember last night. I groan inwardly. Snow. Changing into my workout clothes, I head to the gym. I take a peak in Snow's room to check if she's awake on my way there. She's still asleep. I sigh and march to the gym, working o
Snow Flashes of memories of a man and I making love to each other invaded my mind as Mr Wells trailed kisses on my neck and shoulders. It frightened me and sent a wave of shock through me. I wanted to breathe but I found it very difficult to do so. There was no air for me to inhale into my lungs. So I instinctly pushed Mr Wells away from me to have my space. I couldn't sleep at night when I entered my room. I tried to, but the sleep just wasn't coming to me. All I kept thinking about was the way I felt when Mr Wells' lips touch my skin. It was an electrifying feeling. But I was also scared because of the things that I saw as he kissed me. It made my insides twist in a very bad way. It wasn't pleasant. When I woke up this morning, I felt restless. I thought of Mr Wells and an idea popped up in my head. I went into his room and placed a bottle of Tylenol pills that I found in his bathroom and a glass of water on his nightstand. I sighed and walked out to get ready for work. It surpris
