Remembering

Chapter 1

Amy's POV

[Present Day, 20April2033,6am]

"It's only been 6 hours into the day and I'm already tired. I haven't really been myself since that day."

*Checks phone*

3 new messages from Cameron

Hey Amy, It's been a while.

Can we meet up today for lunch at 12:15 , the usual?

I need to talk to you.

I texted Cam that I'll be meeting him but may be a little late. I went out for a run, showered and got ready for work. I chose to finally wear my white top today. As I was getting ready, I thought about what Cameron would want to talk about. He never usually asks to meet up to talk about something if it's not serious plus he's rarely serious. I went to work at 9 am and greeted everyone as usual, I am now finally a CEO with my own fashion brand, ASTRO. The 17 year old me would think this was just a dream but the 27 year old me made it into reality. I went into my office and was greeted by my secretary Jenna with a whole day schedule booked with meetings and appointments with shareholders. I asked her to cancel my appointment from 12:00 and rebooked everything for Thursday. Cam has been my friend since high school besides Ria, Deb, Ann, Ava and Nat. So, making time for him was my first priority.

[12:13, Xanders Cafe]

"Hey! Amy, What took you so long?"

"I arrived on time, Cam. So what was so important that we had to meet here."

"Okay, straight to the point. You remember that guy, our classmate in highschool you used to have the biggest crush on?"

"Yea, Steve?!? What happened to him?"

"Well, I ran into him on my trip to City S and had a casual catch-up. And he's still single you know."

"So?!?"

"So, Why don't you finally make your move, We all know how much you love him."

"Cam, you know he doesn't like me the way I do right. You know what happened when I confessed, he thinks I was being funny and ghosted me till today."

"Well, You texted him *Steve,I know you probably know this but I want to tell you that I loved you so much . I know you don't feel the same way but I wanted to tell you this. So that I can finally move on* "

"Please let's not talk about the past.And  is that's what you called me here for?"

"Actually next month he's gonna move to City Z and he invited us for a housewarming party."

" What do you mean 'Us' ?"

"Yea, he kinda said, you should bring Amy, if she's willing"

"Did he really say that or did you give him the idea?"

" That doesn't matter. So, will you be coming?"

" Well! I don't have any appointments..So why not?"

"Perfect! Remember to look fabulous "

I rolled my eyes at his words and we talked about more things and we said goodbye as he got a call from one of his VIP clients to have an emergency consultation.

I went back to my condo thinking about today's conversation with Cam. I actually agreed to go because I needed to get answers from Steve. The answers he owed me for over 10 years.

All these times, I've always wondered, What would have happened if I confessed earlier? Even for a moment does he ever had any feelings for me? Now, that I've changed would he look at me differently. Many thoughts always kept me wondering and I could never move on for years. I couldn't be with anyone else because I would only lie to them, when I tell them I loved them. He was always in my heart but with this reunion I wanted to find out what I feel about him now. Have I finally moved on? Am I still in Love with this man I never dated?

I could only find out after meeting him again.
