6 years later...
"I'm leaving! I'll see you later!"
"Babe wait-! Your lunch", Mark said with a smirk.
Mark has been my boyfriend for almost five years. We started living together almost a year ago.
We met at a lecture and from then we clicked. I told him about the incident that happened in my last year of high school and he's been nothing but supportive all the way. I still haven't recovered my memories and I've made peace with it.
Mark kissed me on the cheek and walked me down to my car. A big grin slide on his face.
"Are you ready?"
My heart was thinking in anxiety and anticipation.
"The interview? I'll try my best", I said letting out an awkward smile.
"Don't worry babe. You got this!", He said giving me a big hug. I got into my car and drove to the company of my dreams. Its cause it was the best company when it came to IT and computers. It took me a while to get there. After half an hour I had arrived at my destination.
It was a large building with two words on the front in bold.
S.C
I walked in and was greeted with bright white walls filled with beautiful. This place smelled of money. I walked forwards up until I reached the secretaries desk.
"What can I help you with", the lady behind the desk asked in a bored voice.
She had laid curly black hair and her glasses laid at the tip of her nose. She looked like she should be a model agency than behind a desk.
"Hi ,I'm Ainsley Quinn. I'm here for the job interview."
She looked up and I was left in awe. Her eyes were green. She was beautiful. The way they clashed with her dark skin was mesmerizing.
"Ainsley....", She said as she tapped on her laptop. After a few minutes she informed me that I'd have to wait a bit longer because the CEO was currently in a meeting and would be with me shortly.
She guided me to the waiting room and I made myself comfortable. I took a sip of coffee I had in my retainer. I wonder how this interview would go. I was so anxious. Mark had recently lost his job and with both of us being unemployed, things were not looking good.
I bit on my fingers as i waited. The seconds felt like minutes and the minutes felt like hours. I was about to lose hope of this interview even occuring up until the secretary had made her way towards me. She informed me that the meeting was over and I followed her. This building was really white. Almost empty. The only thing giving it life was the light reflecting on the glass ceilings. We went into the elevator and stood in thick silence. When we arrived at the top floor, a giant door stood at the end of the hallway.
She asked me to stand outside for a bit as she let herself in what I was assuming the CEO's office. After a few seconds she appeared again.
"Good luck with your interview Ms Quinn", she said as she went towards the elevator.
After a few calming breaths i let myself in. I looked down cause I was too scared. But I pulled myself together and looked up. The office was huge. As big as my apartment. The was art on the walls and the thing that made this office truly pop was the blood red rug in the centre.
"Please take a seat", a voice said. I looked around and saw no one. I looked in the direction I had heard the voice and realised it was by the desk. The person was sitting on their leather office chair but was faced towards the large view through the glass do I could not see who it was .
I simply sat infront of the desk and tried to collect myself.
"Why do you want to work here?", The man asked. His voice was smooth and velvet.
"Uh it's because I always hear nothing but good things about this company. It specialise in my passion. IT. And I'd really appreciate it if I could be a part of this company's journey into greater success."
He said nothing for a while before he replied.
"Hm interesting. And what makes you think id let you work here", he asked.
"B-because I believe I could help your company in many ways s-sir.."
Shit. I stuttered.
"That's a lot of confidence you have there miss."
The chair finally shifted to my direction and my world froze.
It was like I was thrown with a bucket of ice cold water.
His pitch black hair...
His dark eyes
His pale skin
His sharp jawline.
I- what?-how?
Suddenly my head started to pound as foreign memories started flooding in. I took a deep breath to prevent the tears from falling. I was in nothing but disbelief.
"Are you okay Ms Quinn?",he asked me.
"Yeah I'm fine sir",I said. He looked at me for what felt like hours but merely a few seconds.
"Well...your resume is good. Perfect student. Graduated with a bachelor's degree in IT.", He said reading through my file. "Impressive."
"Thank you for attending this meeting. We'll contact you soon regarding your application. Have a good day Ms Quinn", he said dropping the file.
My heart started to ache. It seems like he'd forgotten about me. We'll I forgot about him so it's only fair. I got up from the chair and gave him a small smile. "You too Mr Salokov."
I walked out of the office and never looked back. Even if he did remember me it's not like anything would happen I thought to myself. I have Mark now. And I'm happy. I won't jeopardize that because of my past. A past I would have been better not remembering. Out of all times now. Why did my memories only come back now?
As i walked out the elevator I heard a lot of chattering and laughter. I turned my head to see two men talking with the secretary. The secretary saw me and indicated me to go to her. I did just that.
"How was the interview?",she asked with a white smile. "It was ok", I said nervously. I looked to the men and I was only hit with recognition.
Bryce and Taylor.
Taylors smile dropped and Bryces face bore an emotion I could not detect. An emotion that scared me.
"Well I should get going..", I said to the lady as I waved. She waved back and I was out the door.
Who knew one meeting could change one's life like this? There was so much going through my head but I clouded it. I just wanted to go home and cuddle Mark and cry on his shoulder.
I was suppose to call him when I was done but I wanted to surprise him with a some of his favourite food. Me and some oily food. I bought a large burger and spicy fried chicken.
When I got home, there was a car parked outside. I recalled it as one of my mutual friends car Laura. What was she doing her anyway? I told her I was going to give her the cookies for her little brothers school event tomorrow.
I went towards the building and up the elevator to the fourth floor.
The door was unlocked so I went in. There was no one by the lounge. I could hear muffling sounds in another room. I dropped the plastic bags and went towards the source of the sound. My hands were shaking.
I opened the door to the master bedroom and was left speechless. There was a slim blonde riding Mark. It seemed like they didn't hear me because they didn't stop. I could feel my blood physically boil.
How could he do this to me?
I just told there and watched up until he came.
"Oh fuck that was good~",he sighed.
"Yea?", Laura replied. She got of the bed and turned around and froze in her place.
"A-ainsley?", She said petrified.
Mark shot up from his position and looked absolutely terrified.
"Ainsley why didn't you call me?",he stuttered.
I looked at him in disbelief. That's all he had to say? I scoffed to myself. I can't believe I let him hurt me like this.
"Leave.", I said simply.
"Ainsley wait let's talk about this",he said getting into his pants.
I stormed to the kitchen and fetched a black bag. I went to the bedroom and started grabbing his clothes from the closet into the bag.
He grabbed my elbow and I took it away from him and slapped him. I threw the black bag towards him and pushed him back.
"Get out!",i screamed at him. His sympathy quickly turned to anger.
"Ainsley but what did you expect me to do? We've been dating for four years and we've never slept together! I'm a man and I need pleasure", he said.
"Good luck with that" I said as I closed the door on him. I slid down the door and broke down in tears. I wasn't crying because of him but I was crying because of everything.
But now you could officially say I have no one.
