Chapter 6 - I’ll call you Adam (2/2)

Celestia, knowing that the man wouldn't help her, stands up on her own and wipes her crocodile tears, 'remind me again why I saved that man.'

"You ungrateful piece of a creature, I'm a girl okay? and I'm just teasing you, I have no interest in your body" she rolled her eyes upward to add a dramatic effect and removed her wig, golden locks fall from it and in that little moment, the man can't help but admire her beauty. Porcelain skin and emerald eyes are already a killer even when she is dressed as a man but partnering it with long curly golden hair is a sin!

She's like a goddess that descended from heaven but even a goddess can only nudge a little in his highly-shielded heart. Love doesn't even exist in his dictionary, marriage? wife? As far as his memory serves him it is only for the purpose of reproduction.

Still, he sighed a relief knowing that he is not stuck up with some weird person, a freaky guy to be exact.

"Thanks" was all he uttered and grabbed the porridge that had been seated at the coffee table for a while now, he started eating hungrily.

He doesn't know why but the word 'sorry' does not fit his vocabulary even a small 'Thanks' is already hard for him to pronounce.

Celestia just huffed in disbelief and changed the topic, she did not pry anymore on the way this stranger speaks, she is far too tired to debate.

"Okay, just tell me your name, it is weird to talk to someone without knowing their name you know" she demanded almost pouting with arms crossed below her breast.

His name? He doesn't even know it!

He stopped eating mid-air to response, "I don't know" was all he said.

"What do you mean?" Celestia frowned a little, it's his own name how could he forget? Unless...

"It sounds absurd but I can't remember anything lady" the man looked at her blankly and even though he is staring at an alluring lady his heart remain unfazed.

Does he have amnesia?

What a pain, how could she return him to his house if he can't even remember his own name?

"Just call me anything..." he trailed and then resumed eating.

Anything?

Celestia sighed in disbelief because she wants him to have a name of his own, not just a random pronoun she could use for convenience.

She thought for a second a name that could fit his image, the first man that she had an interest in, the first man to annoy her and who knows? Maybe the first man she will fell in love with.

"Adam" Celestia blurted after a minute of thinking.

"Adam?" he asked almost innocent.

Almost.

"Yes, I will call you Adam from now on, I am Celestia by the way" she softly smiled at him, although he is cold and has a stoned-heart, Celestia can't help but feel pity for the stranger, the man who was shot almost close to death and the man deprived of his own memories.
