In Your Memories

Chapter 1

I walk to get to the office. When I got to the right floor, I hurried to my table.

"Kimberly Mae Villafuerte, you're late again" Mam Chynthia raised her eyebrows while looking at me

"I'm so sorry mam" I scratched my head

"You know, if you weren't an efficient secretary, I would have fired you," he said laughing My smile widened because of what he said "Why are you so patient here at our company. You have the most successful company hija" I told you I want to stand and be successful on my own without using my parent's nor my brother's names"

"That's what I want from you. You are really so sure of what you want in life" he patted my shoulder.

"By the way, my son will be coming today. He'll take over now the company. So, he will be your new boss. Be nice to him, okay? And please bare with him when he's rude but knowing you? I know I won't fold you there" he said laughing.

"No worries mam. I'll handle him"

I went to my table and arranged my new boss's schedule. I never met the son of Mam Cynthia because he said he stayed in the US for several years. I was busy fixing my table when I noticed that my ring was missing.

Shit! It's all gone, don't do that!

I hastily looked back at everything I went through.

Kim, you are so careless!

I started crying because I couldn't find the ring. I was outside the building when something suddenly flashed. My eyes widened and I smiled when I saw that. I ran towards the ring but my smile disappeared when I saw someone step on it Oh ha! Don't step on that, you'll hit me! My eyebrows met as I looked at the man who stepped on my ring but I was stunned when I recognized the man in front of me now.

Suddenly, my chest started to tremble and my whole body went cold. I don't understand what I want to do. I don't know how to cry. The emotions I feel are mixed.

Until I found myself making my way towards the man standing. I felt my tears fall. I stood in front of him but he just stared at me. It rolled its eyes all over my face but it didn't react.

I was not able to contain myself. I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her very tightly. I quietly sobbed while hugging it. I stopped when he spoke.

"Excuse me miss, do I know you?" I looked up at him. Its eyebrows meet.

"It's me Damon, Kim" I asked in surprise but he didn't give me any reaction.

"I'm sorry but I don't know you" he said coldly.

"Damon" I turned to a beautiful woman walking towards Damon. When the woman got close, Damon hugged her tightly and kissed her on the cheek.

"I miss you, Kim" and he hugged the girl again. We agreed. I can not believe. It doesn't seem to recognize me.

Damon walked with my namesake girl away from me. I was left standing outside the building. My tears flowed.

He's okay. He's fine. For 8 years, I waited for him to come back because he said he would come back to me but why did he act differently? It's like he's not the Damon I used to be.

I sighed and picked up my ring that Damon had given me before. I looked at it and kissed it. This is the only thing he left me I went up to the office with a heavy heart.

"Hey, Kim, the new boss is here, Mam Cynthia has been looking for you for a while" I was brought back to reality because of what my co-worker said.

I fixed myself and knocked on the office. I opened the door and it seemed like I wanted to close it again because Damon was there next to the girl with my name.

I tried to smile at the people inside.

"Oh, here's my most efficient secretary. Come here Kim" Mam Cynthia called me "This is Damon and he will take over the company. So, starting now, he is your new boss" Mam Cynthia introduced me.

I swallowed and looked at Damon who just looked straight at me. There was no emotion in his face or eyes.

"Good morning sir" I greeted here.

"Good morning" he said sparingly and turned to the woman next to him.

I approached Mam Cynthia and whispered to her

"Son, is he yours?"

"Yes, hija. Why?"

"No. I'll stay outside. Just call me when you need something" I politely said goodbye to them.

I threw myself on the swivel chair. I turned it around while looking at the ring on my hand.

"I can't be wrong. He's my Damon. He's the one. My heart beats like this only for him. I'm sure"

I was able to sit when Mam Cynthia came out with the two. I gasped when they passed me. Damon didn't spare me a glance.

I felt irritation and pain in my heart. I don't understand what is happening.

I jumped out of the chair when Damon suddenly appeared in front of me. I swallowed before speaking.

"Yes sir?" I'm nervous to ask here

"May I have my schedule for this week" he asked formally

I handed him his schedule and when I got it, he turned me away. But before entering he turned to me.

"Another thing, do you have other names aside from Kim?" it asked

"Why sir?"

"My girlfriend's name is Kim. I don't want another Kim, so do you have any other name?" this is a serious question.

I stopped and bowed. Girlfriend? The girl was his girlfriend earlier. My heart felt like it was stabbed. I took a deep breath before looking at him again.

"My full name is Kimberly Mae Villafuerte" I said holding back tears

"Okay. I'll call you Kimberly" he said and closed the door At the same time as the door closed, my tears fell. I feel a strange pain. Does he have a girlfriend? Why doesn't he seem to remember me?

Damon. What happened to you ?......

"Kim, you're late again" shouted our captain.

"Sorry, my older brothers are slow" I scratched my head before entering the van I'm the only one missing. When we arrived at Xavier University there were a lot of people. First basketball game today against our school, Mckinley University.

"Captain, where is the cr here?"

"Dun. Hurry up and we'll be ready"

I quickly ran to restroom Fortunately, there was no one. I breathed a sigh of relief when I released the urine I had been holding back.

I was stunned when I opened the door and there was a topless man in front of me.

"Naughty!"

I threw the bottled water I was holding at him. It hit him in the head. I quickly covered my eyes and turned away from it I stomped in annoyance.

"You can open your eyes now. I'm all dressed" the man's voice was deep.

When I removed the blindfold, I saw that he was already dressed. I dealt with it quickly. I tortured him and marched out of the restroom but before I could get out the man spoke.

"Miss" I stopped going out. It walked closer to me. I was taken back by what it did. He stopped in front of me and he smirked at me.

"Before you throw stones, first check if the cr you entered is correct" he said and pointed to the signage on the door.

My eyes widened when I saw that I was in the male restroom. I closed my eyes and bit my lip because of my stupidity. I heard his soft laugh because of my reaction. I was surprised to hear her laugh. I'm only up to the man's shoulders. I don't know why I suddenly got nervous when our eyes met.

But my heart lost even more when it came closer to me. I leaned against the wall and the man rested his arm on the wall. I was about to kiss her neck when she got closer because there were groups of men who suddenly entered the restroom. It seems that it hides me from the new classes.

"Hey! That's not allowed! You're really prickly Damon" they hit him on the shoulder but he didn't turn around because he was hiding my face from it. His broad shoulders and chest blocked my face I felt a rush of electricity when he suddenly grabbed my arm to pull me out of the men's cr. When we got out, I quickly ran away from it and when I was quite far away, I turned to him and shouted." I smiled and waved at it before running back to my companions.

When I came back they were fixing it. I quickly joined the warm up. I participate in cheerdance. I was one of the flyers and we were the opening.

The shouts and screams of those inside the court were very loud. He cheers them on in their bet groups. The buzzer has sounded to signal that the game is about to start. I shook my whole body to get rid of the nervousness and when our group's name was called, we ran to the middle with all out smiles Even though I was very nervous, I forced myself to smile with all my teeth. I remember all the routines in my mind so as not to make mistakes. Counting in the mind so as not to make a mistake.

Our routine was about to end when I noticed Thalia who was my fellow flyer. He suddenly pulled me down even though I wasn't even counted.

Shit!

I didn't do anything when I misstepped and fell because even my catchers weren't ready. I feel the pain because of what Thalia did. I continued with the routine even though my foot hurt a lot. I still smiled and when the performance ended, I winced.

My catchers approached me. They showed concern but I just smiled. They support me until I can sit.

"What is it Thalia?! Do you suspect Kim?" Coach said angrily

"Sorry, the number was wrong" he said bowing

"Sorry, Kim got a sprain!"

"It's fine coach" I said here so as not to scold Thalia, maybe it wasn't really intentional.

I took a deep breath when I tried to move my leg but it really hurt.

I adjusted my seat and looked up. When I raised my head, we immediately saw a man named "Damon" that I saw earlier in restroom. He was sitting on the other side of the court because they were our school's opponent.

We stared at each other for a while before he spoke without a voice.

"Does it hurt?" he mouthed the word to me. When I understood that, I gave an okay sign and smiled at him to say that it was okay.

He shook his head and smiled slightly. My heart tickled when I saw her smile.

"Kim" caught our coach's attention.

"Just go to the clinic first so you can rest your feet"

I nodded at this. Some of my squad mates joined me to support me on the walk. When I was about to leave the door of the court, I looked in Damon's direction again. That's how fast my heart beat when I saw that he was still looking at me. It seemed to lead me with its gaze. I couldn't stop smiling at him and my heart just dropped when I saw him smile back at me.

My squad mates left me at the Xavier clinic and since there was nothing to do, I just slept. I woke up when I felt someone kiss my forehead. Opening my eyes, I immediately saw Brother Vincent.

"I told you not to join that stupid cheerdance" he said annoyed.

"Brother, everyone experienced a sprain. Don't get OA"

Brother Vincent helped me stand up and helped me out. When we went out, I saw Brother Ethan but I was surprised by what he was talking to now. Damon. Damon and I immediately met our eyes because of this, Brother Ethan also looked at me. They both approached Brother Vincent and me. Brother Ethan immediately kissed my hair while Brother Vincent and I patted Damon's shoulder.

"Next time you break, you're gonna quit" Brother Ethan said gruffly.
