Jeremy saw the TV remote on the center table, he stretched his hand and took it.
He pressed a button and the TV turned on immediately.
A magazine news was showing on the screen.
The lady handling the program started broadcasting the news. Jeremy’s eyes were fixed on the television.
After the presentation, the lady started calling the best restaurants in Mexico, she kept calling till it reached the first position.
“On today’s list Yummy restaurant made the position of the first, meaning it’s the best restaurant in Mexico”.
“Yummy restaurant” Jeremy said.
“Why do I feel like I have heard that name before?” He asked himself.
He changed the channel to another channel, he was watching it when suddenly the channel started talking about celebrities in Mexico and Mõ@nna’s face appeared on the screen.
Immediately Jeremy saw her face, he felt the sparks like electricity in his head and he started hearing voices in his head.
Mõ@nna!
Bunny!
Jerk!
I love you insanely!
His head started hurting and he had to hold it tightly, he started sweating as his head was beginning to turn inside.
Blur visions started flashing like lights in his head.
“Arrrggghhh!!!” He screamed and grabbed his head more tighter, his eyes were still on the picture on Mõ@nna in the television.
He fell on his knees as the pain was getting too much.
“Ahhhhh!!”.
Mandy rushed out of the kitchen and ran to the sitting room to see him in pain.
She quickly squatted before him.
“Darling, what is happening?” She asked.
“My… my head, I’m hearing strange voices, Mõ@nna” He said as blood came out from his nose.
Mandy glanced at the television and saw Mõ@nna’s photo on the screen.
“Sh|t” She cussed and switched off the television.
She hugged him to herself, and after some minutes Jeremy became calm and the pain left him.
“Do I know everybody by the name Mõ@nna?” He asked.
“No, I don’t even know anybody with that name” She replied and he sighed.
“It feels like I know the lady, who are my parents?”.
“Your parents are dead, you were their only son” She said and kissed his forehead.
“You should take your bath now and have some sleep darling” She said.
Jeremy stood up and she took him to the bedroom.
“Your bedroom is nice” He smiled.
“Our bedroom” She corrected.
“Sorry” He muttered.
“What will I change into?”.
“I bought some clothes for you” She replied.
“After eating you will take your drug, the doctor said the drug will help you to regain your memories back in a short time” She said.
“Okay…. Mandy” He said and stepped into the bathroom.
“Mandy” My name feels so good in his mouth.
“I need to act fast before he will get his memories back, I will have to keep him away from the television, Mõ@nna I’m sorry he belongs to me now, I will try and get the tickets” Mandy said and walked out of the room.
NIGHT★ FREDDIE’S MANSION**
“I still have this belief that my friend is alive” He said as he dressed up.
“I want to believe it but it’s two months now” Joanna said.
“You don’t have to worry, my friend will one day come back” He said and climbed the bed.
“I’m happy Mõ@nna is slowly coming back to herself, I know the wound in her heart will not heal so fast but she has to be strong for her son” Joanna said.
Freddie started ringing and he glanced at his phone to see Micheal’s number.
“Excuse me baby” He said and answered the call.
“Hello Michael, why are you calling?” Freddie asked.
“Calling to check if you are already in bed with your girlfriend” Michael replied.
“Michael!!!” Freddie yelled.
“Good night boss” Micheal laughed and cut the call.
“That bastard” Freddie frowned.
“What did he say?” She asked and he told her what Michael said.
Joanna started laughing.
“Your manager is crazy, so crazy” She said.
“I missed you” He said, his eyes turning misty as he stared at her with deep affection and longing desire.
“I miss you too” She said and they started looking at each other lovingly.
Their lips drew closer till it landed on each other.
“Make love to me” She whispered into his mouth.
•••
Xavier is sleeping already but Mõ@nna is still up, she has been claiming to be strong to the public eyes but a night passes by without her crying for Jeremy.
His absence left a big deep hole in her heart and only he can heal it.
Slow bitter tears were flowing down her cheeks.
Many cold nights that she slept alone, she missed his lips like crazy, his touch, his warm tender body.
Life without him is like living in a prison in hell…. She is doing everything just to be strong for the sake of her child.
In the next one month she will be traveling to S. Korea to direct a movie but she is not really happy about it.
Sleeping in this room at least makes her feel his presence.
“Bunny, I f*cking missed you” She said and hugged the pillow to her chest.
“Come back to me please, I’m waiting” She cried painfully as her heart kept hurting.
ONE WEEK LATER**
Since Jeremy started living with Mandy as her husband he hasn’t stepped his feet out of the house, for the past one week he has been indoors.
He is now gradually getting accustomed to her a little bit by bit. He now smiled and talked a little freely with her.
Her effort to get him to sleep with her failed anytime she tried it.
He kept rejecting her seduction but she didn’t stop, she kept trying to seduce him.
She has prevented him from even watching television or using a mobile phone.
Presently in the sitting room, Jeremy is sitting on the couch with a cup of juice in his hand.
Mandy came out of the room with a gloomy face.
“What happened? Why are you angry?” He asked.
“I can’t believe the agent working on our visa is telling me Sh|t, we need to leave this place before those guys know you are here” She said.
Well that is what has been happening, her effort to secure a visa to S. Korea didn’t work through, despite her effort.
She would have left Mexico a long time ago but the denial of her visa kept delaying her.
“I’m sure you will get it, just calm down” He said.
She smiled and walked to him.
“I love you” She said and pecked him.
“Have you taken your drug?” She asked and he nodded.
“I’m going out now, please don’t go out of this house please” She said.
“I won’t but it won’t take long” He said.
“I won’t” She pecked him and left.
“Something is off but I can’t just pinpoint it” He said.
Mandy locked the door outside and entered her car.
“I need to leave Mexico as fast as possible” She said and drove out.
Jeremy sipped his juice and lay on the couch.
His eyes shut and he drifted to sleep, he woke up after an hour.
He stood up from the couch and looked around, seeing no sign of Mandy he sighed.
It was beginning to get boring for him.
He walked to the window and stood there staring at the things happening outside.
He started having this urge to just step out for a minute. He shook against the thought but it still came back.
He started fighting against the urge but at last it won.
He walked to the door and tried opening it but discovered it was locked.
His eyes went to a table stand and he saw another key on it.
Mandy kept the key and forgot about it.
He went there and took the key.
“I hope it works on it” He said and inserted the key into the keyhole, the door opened and he smiled.
He wore his face mask and stepped out.
“I will just take a little walk and come back” He said and started walking around the compound till he found himself walking towards the gate.
The neighborhood is made up of different houses each with a gate.
He opened the gate and walked out.
Jeremy stared at the view and beamed.
“It’s so beautiful outside” He said and walked a little distance from the gate.
He stood there staring around, precisely on a road that connected to another house.
Someone was busy operating his phone while walking towards him.
He was so busy that he didn’t see him.
Jeremy turned around and bumped into the person so hard.
“Ohh!!” Freddie’s phone fell from his hands.
“Sorry” Jeremy said and bent down, he picked the phone and stood straight.
In the case of them bumping into each other, one of the face mask ropes was removed without Jeremy’s knowledge.
As he was about to give Freddie’s his phone, the mask came undone from his face and….. his face came into view.
Freddie’s eyes widened shockingly.
“Je….Jere…..Jeremy!!!!…
TBC
