All Chapters of Suppressed Memories : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

James I had just walked into the hospital after lying to the nurse that I was doing an investigation so I could see Miss Parker before anyone else and Nick had beat me to it. The lovely receptionist Anna was so kind as to tell me she was at the hospital and extra shared that she was very much single which brought a triumphant smile to my face. I quickly wiped the smile off as worry took over and I asked her to give me the details of where she was before I rushed here. I didn’t get a chance to ask what had happened and looking at her now I was confused. She looked fine when I walked in and the only thing I saw was panic. “Miss Parker, are you alright? Do you need a doctor?” I asked. “No, no,” she shook her head, “I need you to tell this man that I don’t know him. I already told my parents that I don’t remember him, and he is making me uncomfortable.” “WHAT?!” Nick spat out. He looked furious but quickly took a deep breath. Something about him was making the bells in my head ring.

James I had the arrest warrants ready yesterday but hadn’t arrested them due to the mother and daughter in question being out of town. There are plenty of stores in the city for them to go on a wild shopping spree. I would know because I have a shopping driven sister who goes to Springs Mall every week. Too bad their out of town shopping for the social event happening at the Springs City Hall tonight will end with them in cuffs. I did leave a message to be notified of their arrival, but I was frankly told they would be too busy with the event to bother with me. I scoffed but they would soon regret acting richly entitled when I slap them with the warrant while reading them their rights. I know the chief is not going to be pleased with me after tonight, but I couldn’t resist showing up in front of all those rich snobs and take one of their own. I’m not going to lie because I’m going

Kioni “What?” James asked, giving me an easy smile. “Oh, nothing,” I said, shaking my head. I decided to bite my slice of pizza to avoid his sudden question. I was surprised by my unexpected response when he suggested we go grab a pizza. I had said yes before my head could process anything and we ended sitting across from each other at the Pizza Hut enjoying each other’s company. James felt easy to talk to and I was glad I had agreed because he also made me feel safe. “Okay maybe I do have a question,” I say looking at him. “Go ahead,” he looked back at me and my heart started drumming. “Aren’t you supposed to be at work considering?” I paused. “The

Kioni James: That’s not what I meant. I waited for him to respond. I was embarrassed enough when I suggested a rain check of whatever happened last night. I’m not sure if it was a date but it felt like one and I enjoyed spending time with him. I felt bad that I responded to his morning message so late in the afternoon, but I really needed time to process it. His sister has asked a lot of questions which I don’t blame her for, but I couldn't answer because I don’t know the answers to them myself. Are you sure your name is just K as in one letter K? What is the reason you can’t share? Does your ID only show the letter K? She meant well but I was grateful James ma

James I am terrible at being a supportive big brother. I just can’t seem to believe she is a grown woman and old enough to date. I’m being unreasonable for trying to get between her and Conrad. I’m practically pursuing a girl and it's way too obvious that everyone appears to have noticed a change. I really should try and be more open and try to be level-headed about her relationship and not be a jerk. Me: I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have scared your boyfriend. I will try to be more welcoming next time. I sighed after I texted her as I walked out of the house. I got into the car and there was a buzz. Harper: Fine. You’re still a jerk. I smiled as I drove off the driveway. My focus shi
