A Love Restored

Now

1 looked at the time on my phone, “It’s time for Mr. Corsino’s lunch, as well. I’ll be back after

I get this to him. Just two minutes.” He nodded, not looking up from the food.

1 had barely moved from my seat when a voice tang out, “Liam!”

Felix sounded…mad.

He had only said Liam’s name, and he hadn’t even yelled. Just a short, clipped tone, but it had been frightening enough.

I turned to the door slowly to look at him, an empty plate I was going to fill with food for him in my arms.

“Mr. Corsino,” I said softly, “I was just getting your lunch. Would you like to eat in the dining room? Or here?”

He looked at me, his lips turned up to a scowl and his eyes full of rage and accusation. Oh God no. He still thought something was going on with me and Liam. I felt like dying. I could. see how this looked. And the last thing I wanted was for Felix to fully believe in this idea of Liam and I. There was no truth in it.

Félix turned away from me again.

He looked at Liam who was gripping his spoon tightly.

“Is your job inside the kitchen?”

Liam gritted his teeth, “I’m on my lunch break, Mr. Corsino.”

Felix cocked his head to the side. “I’ve warned you both before. Was I too nice the last time?”

“Mr. Corsino,” I began, “Its nothing like

He stopped me with a raise hand. “I’m sorry, did I speak to you?”

My skin was on fire from his touch. Oh, it had been so, so long. I had forgotten what it felt like to be touched by him.

Have you really become such a slut?” His words stung. I stepped back from him, away from his touch.

I could take his anger, his disappointment. But he couldn’t call me that. Not when I had saved myself for him all these years, not even knowing if we’d ever meet again, only based on a hope and nothing else.

“You can’t call me that.”

He ignored what I had said. “You’re not to fraternize with him. Not in here. Not outside of here. Tell him to back the fuck off, alright?”

My eyebrows furrowed. Who did he think was, telling me who I could meet and what could do? He refused to acknowledge me, remember me, but he still thought he had the right to order me around like he owned me or something?

“Don’t tell me what to do, Felix.” My voice raised. “I’ll do whatever the fuck I want. I’ll hook up with Liam if I want to. You don’t have the right to say anything. Not when you don’t even remember me!”

He grabbed both my arms and pulled my close to him, his grip tight. Our chests touched ever so slightly. My breath hitched. He shook me hard. “Of course I fucking remember

you, Flora.”

Flora.

Flora. Flora. Flora.

I felt like I couldn’t breathe. My name, from his lips. The one thing I had been longing to hear. The only thing that would give it meaning Give me, meaning.

We stood like that for a few seconds, but it felt like minutes. Hours, even.

“Then why won’t you acknowledge me?”

I shook my head, “Not really. I’m sorry for how he spoke to you. It wasn’t nice.”

of course he knew who she was. I’m sure he knew her full name not to mention it was only 5 years since they saw each other
