Chapter 311 - 311: We Knew Each Other (1/2)

Marie accepted Black Shadow's invitation of going out for a drink. Since he fulfilled her wish and met her in person, she wanted to spend more time with him and know him better.

There's something in him that piqued Marie's interest. She was curious about this man. She would like to know if she had met him before… if he was someone whom she had also forgotten because of her amnesia.

She would find out their past connection and the relationship between them. She had to know it no matter what. Going out with him right now was a good opportunity to do that… to find the answer she was looking for.

Marie closed her flower shop. She grabbed her bag and went outside where Black Shadow was waiting for him. When she approached him, he was already standing beside his motorcycle.

”Are we using this for the ride?” Marie asked him, pointing her finger toward his motorcycle.

Marie didn't know why but she felt like this scene was quite familiar as if it already happened in the past.

”Yes… I am sorry. I like motorcycles compared to four wheels. Are you uncomfortable with this?” Black Shadow asked her.

”No, I don't mind. But… look at me. I am wearing a dress. How am I supposed to ride in your motorcycle?”

Black Shadow let out a husky laugh before answering her inquiry.

”Don't worry. I will keep you safe during the ride. You just have to sit behind me. You sit sideways with both your legs on the same side. And... hold on to me tight.” Black Shadow emphasized his last sentence.

That last statement coming from him made her blush.

'Why is it he had to be serious while saying those words in a suave tone?' Marie thought to herself.

”Hop in!” he said with a grin, extending his arm for her.

Marie nodded and smiled at him faintly.

Black Shadow turned on his motorcycle. He made sure first that Marie was wearing a helmet before they left.

Marie followed the instructions given to her by Black. She was sitting behind him sideways. She put her hands on his waist, holding him tightly.

At first, she thought she would feel awkward but surprisingly, she liked the feeling of their bodies being closed together like this. And… she loved his masculine scent… the fragrance of his cologne was very pleasant in her nose.

She was not paying attention to the road nor in her surroundings. Her mind was occupied by the man driving the motorcycle.

Meanwhile, Black Shadow remained true to his words. He was careful, driving the motorcycle at a slow speed, making her safe during the ride. He was also checking her from time to time.

The cheeky smile never left his face as he felt Marie's tight grasp on his waist. She was really holding him, almost squeezing his waist. He missed this feeling, the feeling of her soft hands… the feeling of her warm body closed to his.

He wondered how he was able to endure these past two years without getting near her. Now, he wanted to be with her.

Does he love her? No… that's impossible. He already forgot the feeling of being in love. He stopped believing in love.

Then what is this? What was the name of this feeling he felt for her, right now?

He couldn't name it. All he knew was that he wanted to protect her and keep her safe. He wanted to be with her. And every time he was with her, he was very happy… and his heart was racing rapidly in excitement.

After a twenty-minute drive, Black Shadow and Marie reached their destination. Marie got off the motorcycle and removed her helmet. She shook her head and ran a hand through her hair, fixing it.

After a while, she peered at her surroundings. She frowned in confusion when she learned that they were actually inside the campus of ZK University, one of the prestigious schools in City Z.

It was already 5:00 o'clock in the afternoon and most of the students started to leave the campus.

”Eh, what are we doing here? I thought we would grab some drinks somewhere?” She asked, looking at him confusedly.

Black Shadow just put on a cool smile. Without answering her question, he grabbed her hands and gently pulled her. Marie just sighed deeply and quietly followed his track.

After a few minutes of walking, they stopped at the soccer field. There were still students playing and practicing soccer in the field.

'Eh, did he bring me here to watch a practice game of these athletes?' Marie mumbled to herself.
