Madeline's Day-Off
Madeline POV
Ah finally, I have a good sleep for like 1 week and I woke up with a smile which makes me want to go out for a jogging later. I stretched my body and crawl over the bed to feel the comfy blanket and get one pillow to cover my face which is full of happiness then I saw someone at the door and I look closely
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!" I suddenly move backward and my head hit the bottom of my bed which I massage it. Why is she just standing there? Please at least speak so that I would know you were there. That almost killed me to death then she approached me suspiciously and check me
"Are you a ghost or something? Why are you just standing there?"
"Wah, how can" she said without finishing it. Like how can what?
"Did you have a good dream last night?" I don't know what to say because all I did and remember is sleeping when I feel like someone is taking care of me
She squeezed my cheeks tightly where my mouth pout and it hurts "Wah! Like it's first time to see you like that"
"Carry to explain it and I don't understand anything you say right" I said and went up already because I want take shower and change clothes which I push her out the room and locked the door
Let's go, do my daily routine since it's saturday today and there are a lot works to do. I took a shower for 30 minutes and I should just wear jeans and plain tshirt with denim jacket then pair sketchers. I'm all done and went downstairs to see if there is any food to cook before I go to the company
"Woah, where do you think you're going?" jasmine said and took off my shoes and denim jacket for no reason that I don't know but I put them back but she just stop me
"What's going on here? Why are you taking off my shoes and denim jacket?" I asked her so that she would stop doing this
"Have you forgotten already?" she knocks on my head three times "Hello, madeline...are you there? Madeline....ma..." oh come please stop it
"Madeline, it's your day off and you just got discharged last night" why can't I remember that I just got discharged last night? and who told me that I should have a day off today when saturday is also a busy day
"Wanna know something that would definitely make you shock?" should I at least guess before she answer or maybe I let her explain
"Nicholas is the who took care of you and didn't bother leaving you at all. Guess what? I was about to visit you and bring some food"
I just listened to her since I can easily understand what she is saying which make me smile. No wonder why I have a great sleep last night and it was him who stay by my side until I sleep
"But nicholas texted me that you have already eaten something but still I went to the hospital to check on you and I found out he never look away but he only look at you and hold your hand so that you won't have nightmares or freak out all of sudden"
"But you didn't because you really sleep well. When nicholas told to go home and that he will be the one staying with you. So I just let him since I can see that he really wants to stay by your side" there she goes and she is finish telling me the detail which she run out of breathe
"Are you done?" I said but she just drink a glass of water to catch up with her breathe
"Yes I am done. You know what? I think nicholas really likes you and it's a good thing I set you a blind date with him" well should I say thank you? or wow
"Anyway, Mr. Haver said that you should have day off since I told him that you just got discharged last night" she said when I told her not to tell anyone because everyone in the office might find out that I have such a weak body
"What are you going to do now? Since you're all alone but you have the bodyguards outside" even when I'm alone, she feel worries because I might get bored but she is wrong. I might go at the amusement park, my favorite beach, restaurant or enjoy some musical band
"Do you want me to take a day off also? To accompany you" I just say no because Mr. Haver doesn't have a secretary today. So as might as well she fill my work today
"No thank you. Go to work and I can enjoy by myself" I said so she would stop saying a lot of things
"I have something to say" here she goes again .. I am always nervous when she ask or has something to say to me
"You know what? You've been acting so weird this morning. Awhile ago, you're just standing at the door then looking at me suspiciously and all of sudden you say something incomplete" then she just drink a water again
"It's my first time seeing you smile while you're sleeping. It seems to me you're having a good sleep but at least you're not crying anymore" she was about to cry but I told her not to
"Okay, you can go now jasmine" I said and get her things then push her out the house and told the bodyguard to send her to the office now
"Morning Ms. Thompson, do you want me to cook something for you" Oh Mr. Tucker is here and I'm glad to see him again. I hope he spend the whole week to his family
"Not really, but lets go for a jogging Mr. Tucker. It's been 3 years since I didn't get to do exercise when I started to open my company" Mr. Tucker just nodded and prepare my outfit. We went outside the house and start jogging around the park and there are a lot of people this morning
"How was your vacation with your family Mr. Tucker?" I asked because I want to know about it
"It was good, my kids really miss you and asked to bring you next time" He said and I smiled suddenly as if I wanted to see already the kids of Mr. Tucker. I also missed them and I want to be with them because its been a year since the last time I have dinner with them because mommy and daddy are also very busy so Mr. Tucker takes me to visit his family
"Mr. Tucker, still remember when my mom told me to be careful then I almost got into accident but you saved my life" he just laughed because he still remember thay day
After we took 20 rounds of jogging we went to eat breakfast in a small store which is one of my favorite place "Ms. Thompson, you should take it slow" he wiped on the side of my mouth since there is a bit food on it
"Come on, just call me madeline since I want you to treat me like your daughter too" I pout to make him a little bit guilty but he didn't even move an inch just continue eating then he just laugh at me
"I'm just teasing you madeline" I hit him on the shoulder then the cashier is looking at us
"You two look so sweet. Your father is taking care of you" I just smile at them and we're done eating so were going back at the house and it's just near here so it won't take awhile
"Did you hear that? She just call you my father" which makes my heart happy all the time
"Why do have such a beautiful daughter with me?" he teased me. It's just that I'm too happy when I'm with Mr. Tucker and comfortable talking to him even though we are not related by blood but we are like a family. We just talk along the way to the house
*****************
Nicholas POV
I think madeline is still sleeping since I click the door beer three times and no one is answer and her bodyguards are outside her house
Maybe I'll just wait outside until she wakes up since I sent Bob back and told him to take a rest for awhile. Noah and Peter also went back since I want them to be guarded there than here which I can handle it on my own
I only have few months to stay here before I could tell her who I really am and make her remember everything even it will be good or pain that would make her feel
"Actually dad, I have fun this past few days even though there are incident happen to me but I don't want you to worry about it"
"What?? You should I have told me and it's my responsibility if anything happens to you madeline"
"No its fine dad, as long as you have take a vacation for 1 week"
I heard someone coming here and its madeline. Maybe that's her father beside her
"At least, I should protect you"
"Dad, it's fine. Well you're here now and spending time with me even its my day off at the office"
Then they saw me which I bow to show respect to her father and she approached me smiling "What are you doing here?" she asked
"I plan to visit you. Oh you must be madeline's dad. Nice to meet you Mr. Thompson. I'm Nicholas Angelo Oh, the Ceo of Young Dreams Entertainment Agency" I introduced myself then he just laughed at me
"I'm not madeline's father but its nice to meet you nicholas. What a such nice young man" he said which make me smile
"He is Mr. Tucker, but he's like a father to me. Since my parents are always busy at work, he took care of me for the past three years and he always take me with him when everytime he visits his family and I play with his kids" I just listen to her stories and I want to know everything happen to her this past 3 years that I'm not by her side.
She is really a jolly girl who is always true to herself. I still see the woman I love from the very beginning
"I'm sorry for keeping you wait madeline" then my tears fell down
"Oh, did I talk that much?" her laughs, smile and the way she talks, she is still the girl who I know that never lies in everything she said
"Oh, are you alright nicholas?" I wiped my tears and act as if nothing happen
"Oh, I think there is a dust in my eyes" to driven her attention away and I think she didn't hear what I said
"Oh where is you secretary nicholas?" she asked
"I gave him a day off today because I would to ask you for a date or accompany you today since it's your day off" I said which make her blush and shy. She is so pretty and cute the way she do that. I handed over the flower and food
"Oh why thank you, lets go inside the house and let me take a bath then change my clothes" she said and we went inside. She told me to sit and talk to Mr. Tucker which I though it was her father and that makes me feel a little bit embarrassed
"You're very lucky guy, because you were never afraid to go out with her" he said and the made feel curious
"Why? Is there something wrong when everytime she is been set up on a blind date?" I hope this won't bother Mr. Tucker
"Yes, when everytime she's on the blind date there is always an incident will happen and which makes everything go unlucky. That is why she never wanted to go a blind date again after 10 times of trying to get to know a guy but all of them are scared of her. They keep calling her curse woman" he explained to me and I don't know what to say
"But, it didn't happen because of you it seems to me that everything became so happy for her. She thought that it will repeat again but it didn't" that made me feel happy at the same sad
These past 3 years, she feel alone, sad, and lost in the world. Where am I when she needed me the most? Even I erased her memories to let her forget all those pain she had felt
"Have you eaten?" Mr. Tucker asked which I just nod even though I didn't eat yet because I want to have lunch together with madeline. Feels like we went back to our first date in this world
"Are you also protecting her?" the question is out of nowhere which made me confused
"I'm all done" I turned around and I'm stunned by her beauty. She resembles her mom and dad
"Nicholas, why are you looking at me that way? You're making me shy" she said and laugh
"Let's go" I said and help her "Dad, we're leaving and I'll be back later don't worry"
"Yes dear, be back safely" he said then we went out the house. I open the door for madeline so that she could go in first then I went in and drive
I heard her humming a song which I tend to play music on a radio that might make her feel calm
"Where do you want to go?" I asked but I know she wants to go the amusement park because for her, its a romantic place and feels like going to old school date
"Amusement park" she said
I still remember when we went to college that's where I met her again even it took century for me to look for her and I waited to be with her again even she don't remember me at all until now.
My tears suddenly fell and trying to hold them back so that madeline won't see it because I don't want her to see that I'm weak but she is too busy staring at the view
I will not let anyone harm or hurt you again and save you even it risk my life of protecting you
"We're here" she said then I look closely and she is right. She's like a kid who wants to go around the amusement park. I park the car since there are still spot. I opened the door for madeline and get her sling bag then hold my hand
I lock the car and we walk together at the amusement park. Actually our first date is really here and the memories are still intact. I can the smile of madeline while looking at me and I waved at her.
Then it's our first kiss which it is memorable to me as we live ordinary people down this beautiful city at the same time under the shining moon at night where there are fireworks and it feels like its just the two of us in this world
"I should get us something, wait me here nicholas" she said and let go of my hand which I'm afraid to do so but I figure out what to do now to make this memorable day to make her feel special again
******************
Madeline POV
Why do I feel shy when I'm with him now? I made an excuse which made me think I'm kind of pathetic there. Since it's first time going here with a guy because I always go alone when everytime I feel sad.
Amusement park and beach is a place I cherish the most which makes my moment fill with memories
My hands are so cold and sweat. I hope nicholas don't find that weird because I'm trying not to feel nervous in front of him
I should go back now because he might look for me. I check myself first on the mirror, if I still look good because I'm too pale awhile ago
"Madeline" someone is calling me then I look around who it was. Why do I feel like I've been here with someone? My chest feels heavy all of a sudden
"What do you want to eat?"
"Nothing, I'm happy because it's our first date and I find this as romantic one"
"All I want is to be with you, that's all matter with me"
"Let's spend our life together and I don't want anyone else but only you because you're the dream that I want to keep and I promise I will never leave your side" I hold my chest and my tears fell which I can't hold them back. Why do I feel like my heart is going to burst and I don't know what to do
"Nicholas, where are you?" I'm already crying because I don't know where nicholas is when he suddenly disappeared. Then someone bumped into me something hit me and helped me stand up
"I'm sorry about that miss" he said then left already without me saying anything
"Nicholas, where are you?" this is the first I feel scared being alone in the amusement park
"Nicholas, please"
"Nicholas, where are you? Have you already left without saying goodbye?" I don't really know what I am going to do here because the amusement park is too big and where can I find him. He didn't even call me, all of a sudden he left me here. I thought I would be happy today but I expect too much
I don't even have a picture of nicholas to show it people if they saw him. Somehow, it's my fault because I left suddenly next to him now he is gone
I should call him right now. Please pick up the phone
"The number you have dialed is either unattended or out of coverage area. Please try call him later" he is not answering my call, how can I even find him?
I just walked to get rid of this nervousness that I feel or else I might go home in no time. I just go to the left side corner where I hear some people jamming so that I could get rid of the fear I feel
"It feels like this amusement park is something memorable to me which I don't know why, how, and whom" I said to myself
Then people starting to approached me giving a piece of flowers and I heard someone playing a piano while singing which is the voice sounds familiar
Baby I'm falling head over heels 🎶
Looking for ways to let you know just how I feel 🎶
I wish I was holding you by my side 🎶
I wouldn't change a thing 'cause finally it's real 🎶
I'm tryin' to hold back, you ought to know that 🎶
You're the one that's on my mind 🎶
I'm falling too fast deeply in love 🎶
Finding the magic in the colors of you 🎶
I started to feel the sincerity and love to this person singing. I think he is confessing is love for the girl he's been waiting for a long time that he couldn't say anything which he is afraid of getting rejected by that person
You're the right time at the right moment 🎶
You're the sunlight, keeps my heart going oh 🎶
Know when I'm with you 🎶
I can't keep myself from falling 🎶
Right time at the right moment 🎶
It's you 🎶
You, it's you 🎶
Why am I crying? Madeline stop it, you're making yourself feel embarrassed in front of everyone. I wipe my tears but it keeps feeling and my fear is gone.
I only feel the love is in me because there is something keeps me going at the moment of my life that I've been holding for a long time but I don't how to
Baby I'm falling oh deeper in love 🎶
Everything that you are was all I'm dreaming of 🎶
And if I can break enough to show you that I need us 🎶
I'd give up everything I have girl just for you 🎶
I love his voice and the way he play the piano makes my heart feel warm. I think he truly loves her even there are changes in their relationship but still he never wanted to leave the girl either ler her go.
His dream is to be with that girl for a lifetime which he believe that forever is just a word but if you are sincere with his feelings then forever do exist
I'm tryin' to hold back, you ought to know that 🎶
You're the one that's on my mind 🎶
I'm falling too fast deeply in love 🎶
Girl all I need to breathe is you 🎶
'Cause you're the right time at the right moment 🎶
You're the sunlight, keeps my heart going oh 🎶
I know when I'm with you 🎶
I can't keep myself from falling 🎶
Right time at the right moment 🎶
It's you 🎶
I hope the girl feel the same way like he does because it's really sad if she just reject a guy like him. Confessing your love with the girl in front of everyone is once in lifetime. It's either she accept it because she feel the same way or reject her because she is not ready to be with him
Every night in my bed I'm dreaming 🎶
That it's you in my arms I'm holding 🎶
Girl all I want is you 🎶
You know you're the right time at the right moment 🎶
You're the sunlight, keeps my heart going 🎶
It's you, you, you yeah 🎶
He always wanted to tell her that she is the only girl he is going to love for the rest of his life
'Cause you're the right time at the right moment (the moment) 🎶
You're the sunlight, keeps my heart going oh 🎶
I know when I'm with you (with you baby) 🎶
I can't keep myself from falling (falling) 🎶
Right time at the right moment 🎶

You, it's you (You) 🎶
You, it's you (With you) 🎶
You, it's you (Whoa It's you love) 🎶
You... (It's you yeah yeah) 🎶
You, It's you 🎶
He is done playing the piano and singing the song. He walked towards me and it's nicholas holding a bouquet of flower and food.
"This is for you" he said and handed me over the flower while he is holding the food. He smile at me then everyone is staring at us and clap their hands
I put the flowers down and hugged him tight because the only thing I feel right now is being alone when no one seems to see me here and my tears started to fall again. Why do I always cry?
"Don't do that ever again. Please, don't disappear. I thought you were gone and you left me here" I said and didn't look at him because I'm afraid that he will disappear again in my eyes
"I won't, I promise" he said and hugged me back. We look for place to sit and eat together while I'm holding his hand. Why am I so afraid of losing him? Even I don't know him yet that quite awhile
"Madeline, let sit here" We sat down and we watched people in the amusement park.
Every weekend this place is always full with happy family, lovely couple and friends hanging because this is the only day they can be with their children, loved ones and group of friends
They just had so much fun watching and I suddenly felt sad. I never been here with my family at least once in my life. How does it feel being with them right now?
Nicholas just smiled as he watched the kids play around the amusement park. I think he is missing someone right now
"Tell me something about yourself. Since we didn't get to know each other that well" I said because I want to know him and share the same traits
"About myself? Actually I have a brother but I'm not with him for a long time since we separate ways due to misunderstanding and issue" That is sad to hear, I also hope I have a sister to talk to
"How about you? Do you have a sister?" he asked but I just stay silent "Maybe it's jasmine isn't it?" Even I want to but jasmine is not my sister
"No, we known each other since college. Jasmine is my bestfriend and we build the company together. Seven years ago, we lost connection to each other and I don't know for what reason" he is just listening to me while I keep talking and it feels like someone is ready to listen to all my drama stories
"Then she find me again laying at a bed on the hospital and crying to myself which make me feel broken inside and devastated as if someone left me because the doctor said I lost all of my memories since I got hit by a truck" I said and I just stop myself crying because I don't want to feel being dramatic at this moment
"I don't also understand myself why do I always cry every night? Something is really breaking my heart that is why I'm taking sleeping pill and other medicines to make myself feel better" but right now, I didn't bring any medicine with me
"How about now? Is it still happening again?" his voice sound very sad and I don't want him to feel pity on me because it makes me want to stop talking about my past
"Should I tell you this? when everytime jasmine set me on a blind date and there's always incident happening. I don't know if I'm been curse or its just unlucky woman like me can never be love by someone" I sighed deeply and he hold my hand. He lay my head on his shoulder so that I could relax my mind and body.
"Just think that all of the painful things that are happening right now will someday become the past. You will survive this. You will look back on this moment of your life and realize the brave person that you've been" he said and he is comforting me
"Let me ask you something. Do you miss someone?"
"Yes I do" he answered quickly without thinking twice "Actually we already met but she doesn't remember or recognize me at all"
I don't know what to feel or say to him since I don't want to expect something for him just at least stay by my side at this moment
A promising life can be dangerous as we set ourself at risk to the loved that would kill us deeply inside without knowing where things go wrong all this time. Maybe we just don't know where we headed, what are excuses be made and how memories will bring back the pains made us feel
I don't know nicholas that much but let me stay together with him even he miss someone else. I don't ask for anything else, just at least give me this time to be with someone that I can talk about life and dream
