“Trust me, you could wear a bin bag and he will be impressed,” She says with a cheeky smile, grabbing my hand and dragging me into the bedroom.
I can’t believe it, maybe I’m not entirely broken. Piece by piece I will get my memories back. Next stop is to find out where Tommy fits into the puzzle.
“Mayaaaa!” Gracie shouts from the front door. “Someone is here for you,” She sing-songs out to me.
Gracie and Blair were so excited to hear about my mini revelation with Fallon. Blair wasfuming that I don’t recall much of her, as apparently, she’s the most memorable of us all.
I finish fastening my heels and grab my coat before heading to the door. Tommy is stood there, wearing the most impeccable suit and jacket.
Fuck me sideways.
I thought he couldn’t get any better looking. Tommy in a suit is on parr with Tommy shirtless and sweaty after a run, bloody delightful.
“Hi,” I say, suddenly feeling shy now I’m in his presence.
“You look beautiful Maya. Are you ready?” he says as he reaches his hand out for me to take.
As if I needed anymore butterflies flittering around in my stomach, just a simple touch of his hand sends them into a frenzy.
“Yes, lets go,” I smile up at him as we leave. Looking back at the cabin, I see all three girls peaking through the blinds at us as we leave.
“Oh my god. Have you seen the state of them?” I say, cocking my head in the direction of the window.
He looks towards the window and lets out a laugh, shaking his head.
“Wow, they’re another level. You lot have always been like this you know,” He says, smiling fondly at the memories.
“Really?” I ask, as he opens the car door for me, and I take a seat. I wait until he has rounded the car and taken his own seat before continuing. “I remembered something earlier! Fallon called me her soul sister and loads of memories came flooding back to me. Nothing important, just snippets of happy times together. I really think I’m ready to know more.”
His eyes widen, a slow, jubilant smile taking over his face. “Maya, that’s fucking amazing. You never know, more memories might come back quicker than you think now.”
“I hope so, I’m sick of being in the dark. Like everyone knows my secrets but me,” I say timidly. “I sound like a child, don’t I? I’m just fed up of it all.”
“Not at all, you’ve been through a lot. I’m happy to fill in any of the gaps, but first I was thinking I could take you somewhere that might help.”
We pull up to a restaurant that I have been to recently with the girls, they must have told him how much I liked the food here. A waiter comes over to show us to our seats and leaves us with the menu.
“I have an idea, but only if you’re okay with it, could I order for you? We have been here together once before, and I remember what you liked.” He says, with a cocky smile.
This man! Is there anything he could say that would turn me off? I can’t take my eyes off of him, sex appeal oozes from his every pore.
“I’d like that. Let’s hope my taste hasn’t changed,” I wink.
“Oh I know it hasn’t. Nothing about you has changed.”
“How can you be so sure?” I ask, genuinely needing to know. I need to know that I can still be the person I was before.
“Because I know everything about you and hopefully, one day soon, you’ll know all there is to know about me again.”
There is one question I’m desperate to ask him, that I need the answer to but am I ready for the answer?
“Tommy. I… I want to ask you something,” I say before my nerve disappears.
“You can ask me anything,” He stares at me intently, intrigued to know what I’m about to say, no doubt.
“Did we…”
I’m stopped before I could ask the full question by the waiter. My shoulders droop, why did he have to come over right now?
