Chapter 60: Chapter 60

LUCY

I woke up at 10am and I saw Bruce's message that it was 2pm that he would pick me up with Simoune

I replied with

"Alright, does Simoune know what time it is?" I asked

"Not yet, I'm going to see her at 12pm so she can get ready and prepare herself" Bruce replied

"Alright, be careful driving"I said

“Thank you!” Bruce said

I came down from the kitchen and saw Mommy cooking

"Good morning dear!" Mommy said

"Good morning too Mommy" I said

"Are you leaving now?" Mommy asked

"Yes, today is Bruce's birthday September 2" I said

"Is it now? I thought it was still tomorrow HAHAHAH" Mommy said, she's so confused

"It's today mommy, he's going to pick me up tonight at 2pm so I'm going to eat and take a bath and I'm still looking for clothes to wear" I said

"Alright, be careful there!" Mommy said

"Yes mommy" I said

I ate to take a shower after finishing. After I finished eating, I went up to my room and looked for something to wear. It took me a long time to find something to wear, but I found a white dress that I had never worn before and it was so beautiful with so many clothes I've bought, I don't even know when I bought this dress

I took a shower and then I did my makeup. I also put my gift to Bruce in a paper bag so he wouldn't see it right away when he picked me up

I went down to the living room after I finished cleaning

"Your dress is beautiful! Look very classy" Mommy said

"Thank you mommy!" I said while turning and smiling

I texted Bruce that I was ready to leave

"Just wait, Simoune and I are on our way" Bruce replied

I waited for them outside the house and it arrived a few minutes later, I entered the car and saw Simoune wearing a blue dress

"You look beautiful now Simoune!" I said

"Thank you, your white dress is also beautiful, super fit in you beauty" Simoune said

"Thank you!" I said

"Let's go to the hotel now" Bruce said

"Let's go! Happy Birthdayyyyy!” I yelled with full of my energy

"Thank you!" Bruce said

Bruce drove and went to the hotel he rented. When we got there, there was no people or visitors except aunty and uncle

"Hello aunty!" I said

"Oh Lucy! Hello! You are beautiful" Aunt said

"Thank you, auntie, Simoune, do you remember them?" I asked Simoune

"No" Simoune said with a confusion in her eyes

"Bruce's mommy and daddy" I said

"Ah, hello!" Simoune said, I know she had no idea about aunt and uncle

"Hello Simoune, how are you? Are you okay now?” Aunt asked her

"Yes aunty, I'm getting better every day" Simoune said while smiling

"It's good, we just came here to see the venue. We will go home soon" Aunt said

"Is that so? Bruce is 23 years old, isn't he?" I asked

"Yes, it's feels like he's still my baby Bruce" auntie said

Auntie and I laughed while Simoune looked around the hotel. After a while, aunt and uncle left and went to those preparing food

I'm curious? Does Simoune know Vince? Or is Vince also one of those people that Simoune forgot?

"Simoune?" I stated

"Oh why?" Simoune asked

“Do you remember Vince?” I asked

"Who is Vince? Is he also our friend?” Simoune asked

I breathed a sigh of relief and Simoune didn't remember Vince

"No, he is our enemy so I asked because you might still remember him" I said

"No, his name is familiar but I don't know why" Simoune said

"Don't try to remember him what's important right now is what's happening to you right now, Bruce and I are here ready to guide you until you remember everything" I said

"Thank you, you are very kind to me" Simoune said

Simoune and I couldn't do anything because we were still getting ready for later. So we watched a movie with Simoune, while we were watching she suddenly asked me a question

"I feel like I've known you for a long time" Simoune said while looking at me

"What are you talking about, Simoune? Of course we're familiar to you because we're your friend, we are your friends since senior high school" I said

"I'm really sad that I can't remember that right away, maybe we have a lot of good memories then" Simoune said, I can feel her sadness

"It's really too much, but it doesn't mean that you will force yourself trying to remember everything, that will only harm you" I said

"That's still sad, until when I won't be able to try remember everything" Simoune said

"Don't worry you will remember too don't lose hope" I said

Simoune and I were just watching when Bruce suddenly came in and said that his other friends were already there. Simoune and I went out and I was just far away when I saw a familiar person

ANTHONY!????? Why are you here? Wait!???? Clarisse is his girlfriend?????

I couldn't help but frown I thought he didn't have a girlfriend yet but it turns out that Clarisse is his girlfriend, it looks like they just arrived because they just entered the door

I was annoyed that I only saw him for a few days and then he had a girlfriend. When we got closer, Anthony was looking at me

"Oh! Clarisse! My friend is your boyfriend” Bruce said, he's also surprised that Clarisse is here

Anthony and Clarisse laughed as they looked at each other

"Clarisse is my sister Bruce, she's from Baguio, mommy sent her here so I can have someone with me to handle our bar. I brought her here because she didn't have anyone at home, that's why I asked you if I could go with someone, and you said yes" Anthony said

Shocks!???? CLARISSE IS HIS SISTER!!! Yes! I still have hope, I thought Clarisse was his girlfriend

"Clarisse? Bruce's friend is your brother, the world is really small" Simoune said

Anthony and I just looked at each other while he smiled at me

“Tony, it's Luc—---” Bruce said

"I know her Bruce, I met her at the bar" Anthony said while giving me a smirk

"Wait!? Is he the one you say you met Lucy? The Anthony you are talking about?” Bruce asked

“Yes he is! Why do you call him Tony?" I asked

"Anthony Jones is his name, we pampered him with Tony" Bruce said

"The world is really small, Bruce is just your friend, I thought I would never meet you again! Because you'll never go in bar again" Tony said

"We went on a staycation and Simoune had an accident so I don't have time to wander" I said

"Is that so? How are you" Tony asked me. I don't know what to feel. My heart beating so fast

Tony told asked me to sit, Bruce was looking at us

"Oh Tony! Go easy on Lucy! That's my friend, you can't fool that!" Bruce said

"Who said I would fool her?" Tony said

Tony and I laughed and while we were talking I remembered asking for his name on facebook or even getting his phone number

"You can't really find my account because you know my name is Anthony, my name is Tony Jones on all Social Media" Tony said

"That's why" I said while lapping my head

"You're looking for me! Huh" Tony said

"Not so much!" I said

"I've been looking for you too, it's been a long time since I last saw you. I'll take your number" Tony said

I immediately gave my number to Tony and we started talking

"Clarisse is your sister, right?" I asked

"Yes, my sister is kind, I didn't even know that the friend she was talking about was Simoune who is also Bruce's friend, it was really unexpected" Tony said

"That's why" I said

Simoune and Clarisse approached us smiling, they took food from the table

"Is he your boyfriend?" Simoune asked

"Ahhhh—--" I don't know what I'm going to say

"Not yet, I'm just going to court her first" Tony said proudly

I looked at Tony, with so many people I've met just now I felt so overwhelmed. I thought I was single after graduating, but it seems my guess was wrong because it looks like I will have a boyfriend sooner

"That's super nice Tony, you're the girl he's talking about that he met at the Bar and then he said he misses you so much because you didn't go in bar for so many days" Clarisse said

"Heyyyy! You are embarrassing me to Lucy, she might think I love her very much" Tony said

"Why not?" Clarisse said

"Of course yes, I love her and like her very much but I will court her first" Tony said

"Do you agree with Tony's courting plan, Lucy?" Clarisse asked

I was about to answer when he suddenly spoke

"I'm not asking if she agrees, I'm just going to court her for what she wants and what I want. If she doesn't like me, I will stop" Tony said

We were about to have fun when Simoune's head suddenly hurt

“Simouneeeee!!!????” Bruce yelled

"Are you okay?" I said panicking

Simoune took her medicine, I feel that she was forced to remember something because her head hurt

"I also had a memory in the bar, I didn't know that's why my head suddenly hurt" Simoune said

"And now? Are you feeling okay?” Bruce asked

"It's okay, I can control myself to think" Simoune said

I think she remembers Vince too much and that's why she got a headache. Isn't it possible that Vince is one of the things she can forget about? Is that not possible?

...

Because Simoune said she could stay, she stayed and enjoyed Bruce's birthday. Lucy didn't quite think that she would see Anthony again, which is Tony on Bruce's birthday, so it was undeniably a thrill.

Lucy also found out that Clarisse and Tony are siblings, she thought at first that she was Tony's girlfriend, but Tony said that this was his sister who had recovered from Baguio

Lucy is happy because she immediately became close to Tony's sister Clarisse. They talked about how small the world is because they met on Bruce's birthday. Bruce is very happy because he invited all his friends and enjoyed the party he had

When it got dark, Lucy decided to go home because she was going to do their research paper, Tony volunteered to be the one to deliver her in their house but before Lucy went home, she handed her gift to Bruce and Bruce immediately opened it

Bruce is happy because he finally has a new shirt and perfume, he hugs Lucy and thanks her and suddenly Bruce is a supportive friend and he agrees to be the one to deliver Lucy in their house. Tony said goodbye to his sister Clarisse that he will deliver Lucy first and he will be right back

While they were waiting for Tony to return, Simoune and Clarisse were talking. Clarisse was happy because she met nice people who were friends of Simoune herself. That even though she is not her age, she still agrees on everything

On the other hand, Tony and Lucy were having a deep conversation in the car while Tony was driving. Tony says that he wishes Lucy would give him a chance to court her because he doesn't really understand why after he met her at the bar he couldn't get Lucy out of his mind. Lucy smiled and said "Yes" that means Lucy agreed to Tony, Lucy also found out that he was studying at Ateneo and after class he went straight to the bar because he was the one watching over their bar

Lucy was also very surprised because she found out that Tony was the owner of the bar, she thought he was just working at the bar. When Lucy and Tony arrived at their house, Lucy immediately waved and said goodbye to Tony. As soon as Lucy entered, Tony left

When Tony got back to the hotel, his sister invited him to go home because what time was it, it's getting late, Bruce also said goodbye that he would take Simoune in their house, Tony and Clarisse went home with Tony while Bruce took Simoune to their house first and then he went home

Bruce is happy because Simoune's friend is Tony's sister, it's a very small world after all. When Bruce got home he immediately fell asleep due to exhaustion, while Lucy and Tony started chatting on social media accounts

Lucy could hardly focus on doing the research paper because it was distracting Tony. When Simoune got home, Nanny Lily gave her medicine and helped her go to her room and sleep, before Simoune fell asleep, she was attacked by a headache, so Nanny Lily could do nothing but sleep next to Simoune because it is worried about what might happen to Simoune

Could it be true love between Lucy and Tony?
