My CEO Billionaire

Have We Met Before?

Dave's POV

"Catch her she's gonna-" i said as i ran as fast as i could to catch her, Derek focused his attention on me and ran towards Abby,

I catched her before her fragile body met the ground, the weight of her body caused my wound on the shoulder to react in pain,

Her body was slightly cold, her neck had a bruise, her shoulder was bleeding, i pity her right now, i shouldn't have bought her along with me,

Derek jogs closer to us, with three paramedic following behind him,

"Boss...the paramedics would take her to the hospital, and we should take care of your wound" No..i will take her there, i can't stand to be apart from her,

"No...its ok..i'll bring her there.." i said and stood up carrying her, But Derek stopped me and he shook his head in disaggreement,

"Sir..we must let the proffesionals handle this-"

"I am a proffesional! Let me handle this!..this is my fault in the first place! So leave us be.." i demanded and Derek looked at me in shock, a paramedic looked at me before getting a white transparent medical tool out from his bag,

"I'm sorry Sir...but we have to do this.." Derek said and the guy holding the medical tool walked closer to me,

I knew where this was going, i used my freehand to punch the guy in the face, he crashed to the ground, Derek clenched my hand, preventing me to do more physical damage,

"Derek...let.go.of.me" i said through gritted teeth, he doesn't respond but speaks after a minute of tension,

"Let us have her,she's bleeding badly, and so are you.." I wince as a sharp needle buries on my back, i turn around to see the guy i've punch a while ago holding the syringe on his arm, that is buried on my back,

"Fuck.." i said, i turned to face Derek, he was looking at me with regret in his eyes,

"I'm sorry..but this will be over soon.." He said and my eyelids became heavy, my body felt weak, surprising that i still carried Abby on my arms, but she got carried by Derek,

My knees wobbled as i thrashed to a stretchable bed, i see Derek looking at me before i fell asleep,

...

I woke up at a beeping sound, i open my eyes to see my mom laying next to me, a sharp pain erupts from my shoulder, covered in a white gauze,

My throat felt dry, i noticed a glass of water on a table beside my bed, i slowly grabbed it and drank its content until its last drop,

I placed it back on the table, i released a long heavy sigh, causing my mother to wake up,

"Davey? How are you feeling?" Mom asked me, she glanced at my shoulder before i spoke,

"I'm fine..hows Abby?" She stiffened in her place, her mouth slightly open, i became worried, nervous, i furrowed my eyebrows at my mom,

"Mom? What happened to Abby?" I asked again, she sighed and dissapointment showed her face before speaking,

"Abby...Abby is..uhm..how do i say this..she's...suffering amnesia..mild amnesia.." i froze, my mind still proccesing what my mom said,

"What?"

"I don't know... the doctors said that she didn't handle the pressure of being in so much danger that she lost a part of her memory... i guess she bumped her head at those time but she fainted until she got so tired..and thats when it happened..." i got up from the bed, ignoring the IV connected at my arm, my mom didn't bother ask me, she helped carry the IV anywhere i go,

I slipped on some slippers provided by the hospital, and went outside, i saw Derek sitting on one of the benches,

"Where's Abby's room?" I asked and he pointed on a white door with a room number sign 204,

I nodded and proceeded infront of the door, i shakily grabbed the cold metal doorknob, i turned it and opened the door, my mom told me to go inside alone, so i carried the IV with me, i closed the door and walked closer to Abby's bed,

I was surprised to see her neck had no cast, but her shoulder had a gauze as the same as mine, her eyes were closed and a beeping sound could only be heard inside the room,

I carassed my hand on her warm cheek, she shifted and her eyes fluttered open,

"Abby?" She stared at me, her eyes landing on my hair, my nose, my lips, my bruised shoulder, and to my eyes,

She seemed to be lost in thought, i smiled at her magnificent beauty,

"Abby? How are you feeling?" I asked  while she didn't speak, she focused her attention on my IV,

"Abby?" I asked once again, why isn't she talking? What happened?

She doesn't respond and grabs a bowl of strawberries near her bed, she eats it slowly, savoring its taste,

"Can i have one?" I asked and she gives me a strawberry,

I plop it in my mouth, its taste so  sweet and delicious,

I sit on a small chair beside her bed, she continues on eating her strawberries,

I grab the blueberries on her table, i look back at her to see her busy eating her strawberries,

I plop a piece of blueberry inside my mouth, i close my eyes as i find all of Abby's fruits surprisingly sweet,

We eat in silence, i don't understand why but..the silence is iritating my ears,

The only sound that can be heard was the beeping monitor, our mouths creating small sounds caused by the eating of the fruits,

I was getting iritated, i stare at the bowl of blueberries in my hand, debating whether to ask or to continue eating,

The hospital gown i'm wearing didn't help either, its thin cheap cloth made my skin crawl in the cold air inside the airconditioned room,

"Abby? Are you alright?" I ask, she stops eating her strawberries and meets my eye,

"Excuse me?" She asks and cocks an eyebrow at me,

"Abby? Why aren't you talking to me?" I ask as she swallows the fruit she ate before speaking,

"I'm sorry..but i don't speak to people i don't know...Have we met before?"
