Daven: His lost memories

Chapter 10: I was a food delivery guy!?

" Yes he came home now..." Brittney was talking to Daven's boss who always calls everyday just to check up on Daven.

Brittney thought he was being a caring boss as almost everyday in these past months he would call to see if he was okay.

But to tell the truth, he wasn't calling to check up on Daven just to see how he was doing, he was calling just to know if he was awake so he could go back to work immediately as things at the restaurant wasn't going too well without him around.

But oh well, Brittney is too naive to see all this anyway.

" Can you give him the phone, please? " The voice on the phone said.

" Okay, just waiting for a second." She quickly went to Daven and gave him the phone.

Puzzled with what was going on, he asked coldly. " Who is it? "

" Your boss. "

His boss? Since when?

" Hello " He said with a formal tone.

" Oh Davie my boy, how are you feeling? "

" Good "

Upon hearing the voice, he frowned in disgust as he could already see what kind of a person was he. ' Greedy, pretending innocent ' was all he could use to describe him now.

He quickly got curious of what kind of work did he do.

" Oh great to hear that. I've been praying for you to get well soon, what happened? " Although he was putting on his best to sound concerned, Daven was no person to fool.

" Nothing much, I'm alright now." Daven didn't want to talk much with his so called boss and kept things short and simple.

Although his tone sounded cold, his boss couldn't see the difference to how he was before as he never talked much and only nods in response. He could only think that this is how Daven was like.

" Thank god that you are feeling better. My god only knows how worried I was about you including everyone here. Everything has been falling apart ever since you were in hospital..." He paused to catch a deep breath before continuing. " Do you think you will be able to come to work next week? "

Hearing the question, it didn't surprise Daven as he could already guess out everything. He lost interest in this conversation and wanted to end it fast. " I'll see, goodbye." he mercilessly hangs up without waiting for a response.

He tossed the phone on the table and looked at Brittney with a pair of scary eyes that turned cold after being given the phone.

" What work did I do? " he got straight to the point with no hesitation after his sudden change of mood.

Brittney almost jumped when she sees the pair of cold eyes she has never seen before. " Y...you w-were a food delivery guy." she stammered when looking at him.

" What!?" Daven thought that he heard wrong and asked her to repeat what she just said.

" A food de-delivery guy."

" A food delivery guy!! What? " Daven could not believe what he was hearing, including himself. " So you are telling me that out of all the jobs I could choose, I picked the food delivery one!? " as he raised his voice which startled Brittney, he was so furious that he almost hit the table but restrained himself after seeing how scared Brittney was.

" Yes " her small shaky voice was what revealed all her emotions at that moment.

Granny Tae who has been quiet, finally spoke when she saw how scared Brittney was.

" David calm down, what's wrong with being a food delivery guy? You loved it anyway why the change now? " Her comforting voice kind of calmed Daven a bit.

He stood up and said, " I'll be in my room." with that being said he went upstairs leaving Brittney in disbelief of what she saw. She and Granny Tae finally witnessed his other side.

Brittney and Granny Tae just looked at each other with nothing to say, both with their own thoughts running through their minds.

In the room, Daven stood by the window and tried to calm himself and think things through clearly before making his next move.

So far to what he has found out already was that, he is married and he worked as a food delivery. All of these things were driving him crazy as he couldn't come up with a better idea.

After thinking things for a while, he decided to go to his work next week and hopefully he could find something that might help him with his plan. For now all he could do is throw himself on the bed annoyed.

" Whoever is playing a joke on me... it's certainly not funny. "he softly muttered out these words helplessly. He closed his eyes and dozed off immediately.

For who knows how long he has been sleeping. He wakes up and finds himself covered with a quilt. He slowly gets up and went towards the window that was closed with curtains. He raised his hand and slightly pushes away the curtain and saw that it was dark outside.

He lazily walked out and made his way downstairs. He first went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. After coming out, he went to find Brittney in the living room.

Her back was facing him and the TV was on, he guessed that he must be probably watching the Tv. When he got closer, he heard soft sobs from Brittney and didn't know wether

he should go back or say something.

Before he could realize it, he subconsciously walked forward to her and sat opposite to her.

When Brittney saw Daven sitting down, she was a little startled because she didn't hear his footsteps and quickly wiped off tears from her face but did not look him in his terrifying eyes.

Because Daven hadn't got used to Brittney, he didn't know what to say." I'm starting work next week " he finally spoke first.

" It's Friday, why so soon?" Although her voice was low, Daven still managed to hear.

" I will be bored if I just sit around the house the whole day...plus I also have to help with the house bills if I'm going to be living in this house." his tone was neither cold or friendly.
