Chapter 35 - 35

I don't understand what has happened to Reiner that he has become so sweet. It is like the first time when I met him and not when he was consumed by his anger and jealousy. I am happy that things have gone back to the way things were in the past.

Time has passed and we have grown up but our love for each other has not changed at all. I am sure that our love has just grown stronger with the distance between us.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked me when I was lost in my thoughts.

"I was just thinking about us. In the past, we looked so good together."

"Do you have any photos I could see? I just want to see how happy we looked."

"I wish I had a photo of us but I am afraid that I don't.. We never took any. Can we take a selfie?" I asked him nervously.

"Sure," he said and I moved closer to him to take the photo. I took the selfie, I held my phone to my chest to cherish the first photo that I have with him. My life feels complete with this photo in my hand. Even if he goes away from me again then at least I have something that I can use to remember him.

"It's just a photo. You don't have to treat it like it is gold," he said and I put the phone down. I want to hold that photo in my arms forever but more importantly, I want to hold him.

"It might just be a photo but it's your photo so I love and cherish it a lot," I said in a soft voice and looked away. I sound so cheesy and he probably doesn't like it. He took my chin in his hand and made me stare straight into his eyes. I feel a blush crawl up my cheeks while staring deep into his eyes. "Don't ever go to a place where I can't see you," I said subconsciously.

He wiped my tears and smiled at me. I get an important call from my secretary asking for my presence at the office. "Reiner, I have to go to the office. Can I drop you home?" I ask him.

"Is it okay if I come with you instead? I don't want us to part ways again," he said. His statement made me smile. I nodded my head and allowed him to come with me. I helped him with some clothes from my wardrobe and we leave for the office. This day feels so right, it is how I had imagined my life would be if we were to be together. We would wake up together and have breakfast and escort each other to work and return to each other when the day was over.

I drove the car at a moderate speed towards the office and park the car in my private parking lot. I get out of the car and opened the door for him, once he is out I lead the way to enter the building.

"You work here?" he asked me from behind and I nodded my head. "That is so cool, you must make a lot of money."

"You could say that," I say. I wonder if he will be shocked when he finds out that I own the company.

We walk in through the door that was build just for my usage and walks. I don't like seeing people and that is why I had this build. It is also good for privacy since I don't like gossips about myself. We get to the elevator and I press the button for the top floor.

The elevator ride was not long so we arrived at the top in three minutes. The door opened and we walked out together. "What is the issue?" I ask my secretary whose name slipped my mind.

"The newly signed artist of Rhythm is causing problems, Sir."

"Where is he?"

"In the conference room with Mr. Zane," she said and my eyes couldn't help but stare at Reiner to see his reaction. He is not the biggest fan of Zane and who knows how he will react to the fact that Zane is still a part of my life.

I look at him and he looks calm, he is just looking around the room in awe. "Maybe he didn't hear her," I whispered and kept walking. Zane is my best friend and Reiner is the man that I love, I would like it if the two of them can try to get along. I hope his jealousy doesn't take him away from me again.

I open the conference room and get in as Reiner and my secretary follow behind me. "Oh, you are here. Don't worry, I already took care of the problem," said Zane as he embraced me in a hug. My heart beats frantically in my chest, the fear of a repetition of the past threatens my heart, and I break the hug quickly.

"What is the problem, Brandon?"

"Nothing, if the problem is already fixed then I will leave."

"Wait, the problem is fixed but there are other things we have to discuss. Let's go to your office."

Zane walks past me and froze when he came into contact with Reiner. 'Please don't fight,' I prayed in my heart.

"Reiner," he said in disbelief.

"That's me," was the reply that he received. I was shocked to hear Reiner's reply but also happy that he has learned to let go of his anger and jealousy.

"It's nice to see you again."

"You too old friend," Reiner replied making Zane and I look at each other in surprise. I have a feeling that there is something wrong since when did Reiner ever speak nicely to Zane, and calling him a friend was out of the question for the boy I remember.

"Reiner, you do remember Zane right?" I ask to taste the waters. It could be that after so long apart he has gotten rid of all the negativity in his heart and has accepted that Zane and I are just friends.

"Isn't he our friend? I have been away from I wouldn't forget my friends," he said seeming nervous to me. I look over to Zane and he has the same suspicion in his eyes. "Yeah, we had been friends for three years so how can you forget me," Zane said and I looked at him confused at what he was saying.

"Right, one can't forget three years of friendship," Reiner added.

Zane pulled me out of the room leaving Reiner and my secretary alone in the conference room. He frowns at me with his eyebrows raised at me. I know what he is trying to ask me but I don't have any answers to give him. I am also surprised at what just happened.

"What is wrong with your boyfriend?"

"First of all he is not my boyfriend," I say not able to hide the blush on my face. "Secondly I have no idea what is wrong with him."

"It seems to me like he has amnesia or something. I don't think he knows who I am or else he wouldn't be too chill and judging by how cool he is with you I don't think he remembers you either."

'That explains why he is so different, it was not because he changed but he must have forgotten the past,' I thought to myself.
