58 Payback 2 (1/2)

Inside the elevator I looked at the number on the screen while it increased one by one. I feel a bit uneasy being alone with Shawn inside a narrow space. He was standing at my back. There was a feeling that I can't seem to describe radiating inside my body. I can hear my heart thumping loudly.

”Queenie.” Shawn whispered in my ear. He was inching at closely behind me. ”Do you really can't remember me?” His voice was sad. I want to turn and face him but there was something preventing me from turning.

”Hmm?” I asked as if I didn't hear what he said.

Then I feel his arms encircle my waist. My back was leaning on his chest. He embraced me dearly. I gasped in surprise.

”Shawn!” My heart was thumping rapidly now.

”Please remember me. I love you so much.” Shawn said. I can hear the saddness in voice.

”I'm sorry.” That was all I can say to him. My heart felt sad for this man. I can feel his genuine affection. But my heart only felt sadness and pity.

'Ping' the elevator doors open.

I pried my self out of Shawn's embrace and exited the elevator. He followed as well.

”Sorry.” Shawn said. I look at his face and I can see the sadness gleaming in his dark blue eyes.

”I'm sorry Shawn but I can't force myself to remember you.” I said apologetically.

”Please forget what happened.” Shawn forced a smile. ”I'm willing to be your friend so you can know me more. And maybe slowly you can remember me.” I smiled at him and nodded.
