Who would be distant and embarrassed after that night? There's no other than me.
But despite of being embarrassed, I went to his room to take my breakfast with him. The table is already set up and he's already sitting but me? I'm just standing on the corner looking like a scaredy-cat.
"Where are you?" he asked and twitched his lips. He doesn't need to have his Nurse because he said he can handle himself to eat.
"On the corner far far away from you." I replied and moved my hair on the back of my ear.
"Why? Come here! let's take breakfast."
"No."
"What? Come here, my queen."
"That's it!" I hissed.
"What?" He chuckled, he's having fun calling me that. After that night, he's calling me 'My queen', I'm really embarrassed because my heart keeps skipping a beat.
"I'm done!"
"Done with what?"
"Done with you!"
He laughed. "Why?"
"Stop calling me 'my queen'!"
"Why would I?"
"C-cause...." I bite my lips for getting embarrassed.
"Cause what?"
"Cause I don't know! I'm getting red! Stop it!"
He chuckled again.
"Fine, hai..." He sighed, smiling. "I'm going crazy with you.'
"I didn't do anything for you to be crazy, idiot." I rolled my eyes.
"I know..." He smiled. "But, I'm going crazy everytime I'm hearing you."
"Oh, do I need to shut my mouth?" I tilt my head in curiosity.
He chuckled. "No, that's not what I meant! It's just..."
"What?"
",everytime, I'm hearing your voice my heart...is throbbing."
Gosh, this flirty lawyer won't stop from being flirtatious.
"Stop that cheesiness, Attorney."
"For three years in that field, I never expected that calling me 'Attorney' can freaking make my heart almost jump out from my ribcage." he rubbed his nape.
"Tsh."
"Call me again..." he urged me.
"I don't have your number." I smiled. I have fun making fun of him.
"Damn this kid." he tsked and shook his head with amusing grin plastered on his lips.
"I'm not a kid anymore, attorney." I corrected.
"But you're my baby."
"Iww." I reacted.
He burst out laughing.
For almost a week, we're always having fun in each other's company...like, walking around the hallways, roaming on the rooftop, taking the elevator just to stay we went to a ride to Nursw Kim, going to each other's room just to do nothing, eating and even watching some movies every midnight after we were checked by our doctors and nurses--well, even though he can't totally watch what we are watching, I keep telling him the scenes and he's always listening to me.
And now, it's already 1 am but we're watching Annabelle on his room. Yesterday we're watching Fast Furious 8 on my room.
Both of us are seated on the sofa with blankets on our body with a lot of pillows beside us...well, I put a lot pillows so that the monsters or ghost can't take any place on the sofa.
He's hugging my pikachu stuff toy while looking at me--listening attentively in every description of the scene I keep telling him.
Honestly, it creeps me out. The movie is too scary but I need to pretend that I'm brave because he said he likes horror movies.
He put his index finger on my lips that made me stop from talking.
"You know what...these movies are not good for you."
"Why no---ahh!" I screamed and immideatly burry my face on his shoulder.
This motherfucking annabelle pop out somewhere on the screen.
Kaios hugged me while chuckling. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" I affirmed. "There's a bug on the screen, I'm not afraid of that psychopath doll." I lied.
He chuckled. "Alright, I'll believe that there's a bug."
"Why?! Do I look like I'm lying?" I asked the obvious.
"No."
"That's it, I'm not lying, there's a bug really." I tried to convince him with a sincere words but I know I can't. Lawyers are not easy to fool.
"If you're not my queen, I'll probably say you're lying. I'm a lawyer after all." he smiled.
"What?!" I hissed.
"Nothing, I love you." he chuckled.
"Iww, cri--"
"Cringe!" He mocked me everytime I say he's cringe when he say I love you to me.
I pouted and hit his shoulder.
He chuckled and kissed my forehead. My seat was heated so as my cheeks. I didn't speak that made him laugh.
"I badly wanted to see your reaction."
"You better not, I look so damn ugly."
"Oh? Who says you're ugly?"
"Me."
"Tsk." He shook his head. "You know what love...."
My heart...my heart beat is freaking fast..the way he called me 'love', it became a music to my ear. It was too soft and endearing.
"Everyone has their own beauty, therefore, you don't have to be ashamed about it and call yourself ugly. You're beautiful on your own way. You're beauty is unique, so, no one could never have it."
"You smell..."
"Smell?" He chuckled. "We're talking about beauty..but, how do I smell?"
"You smell organic."
He burst out laughing with what I said and even hugged me that turned into a squish and I know what comes next...
"You're really a fluffy marshmallow."
"You always say that when you hug me."
"Cause you're a squishy baby."
"Shut up, I'm not a kid anymore." I said and changed my position. I'm laying my head on the pillow placed on his lap.
"Your cheeks are soft as babies have." He said and started to stroke my hair.
"Hmm." I became sleepy all of the sudden. The program on the TV is now tom and jerry.
"Reina..."
"Mmm?"
"Why is your hair falling?"
I immideatly seated. I faced him and held his hand, there's a lot of hair.
"I-i don't know."
He gathered all the hair he got from me, i grab it from his hand. "I need to go back on my room."
It's making me uncomfortable. I shouldn't let him hold my head, it's creeping me out knowing he can sense that my hair is falling.
"Mmm, alright. I'll bring you there."
"It's fine, I'll be good." I assured to him.
I went out from his room holding the hair he got from me. Sure it was a lot but I still don't know what's the cause for this.
As soon as I hold the knob of my door, my head tilted on the elevator hearing little murmurs.
I rubbed my eyes not being able to process what my eyes just saw. My lips parted in shock with my heart felt a lot of daggers. I saw Mommy kissing a guy.
I hurriedly open the door of my room and rushed inside. I hopped on my bed and covered myself with a blanket.
I took a deep breath to ease the heavy loads I have in my chest.
I couldn't restraine myself and burst into tears letting myself believe that it was all my illusion because I'm sleepy.
It wasn't Mom. That thing is not true, it was all a lie and cause by my imagination. There's no way Mom would cheat on Dad!
"You're spacing out, aren't you?" Kaios asked.
As soon as I woke up, I immideatly find his presence to calm me down so here am I again on his room taking a breakfast with him after I take a shower.
He's the one who can calm me down with his presence.
"N-no..." I cleared my throat. "I'm not spacing out."
"You're too quiet, I can feel if you're moving or not... Is there something bothering you?"
I shook my head and finally hold my spoon. "Nope, I'm fine. I always tell you if there's something so don't worry about it."
I can sense how his face filled with suspicion yet he gave me a nod and continue to eat.
I forced myself to forget about those thing and it turned out good because I'm back to being talkative again.
As usual, I spend my whole day with him. This Attorney is way more flirty than I never expected. His words are flowery that can really make a heart flutter.
"Do you play minecraft?" He asked. We're seated on the balcony of his room eating some snacks for this foggy afternoon.
"Yes, before." I replied.
"So can you be my minecraft without craft?"
My brain suddenly loaded. I stared at his grinning face who's having a lot of fun throwing his cheesy and flowery words.
When I realized what did he just told me, I burst out laughing and even hit him on his shoulder.
He laughed and shook his head.
"You know what.."
"What?"
"I wonder how many flowery words you have in your head."
"A million..." He chuckled. "Gold is beautiful but remove the A."
"This motherfucker..." I said.
He laughed and even rest his head on my shoulder.
"So how old are you?" I asked. We're getting bored again. For sure if both of us are out in this hospital, we're going to have a road trip.
"Old enough to be your sugar daddy, I guess." he chuckled.
"Stupid! I have money!" I affirmed.
"I know, owner of the Vargas Hospital with 29 branch all over the Asia and America." he even snapped his fingers like how drag queens do.
"Shut up future owner of the Vergara Firm." I snapped my fingers too.
"Okay, I'll shut up soon to be the owner too of the Vergara Firm."
"Yah! Why would I own that firm?"
"Cause you're going to be the Lawyer's wife."
I laughed in disbelief and didn't say anything. How I wish that's possible.
Rain might be back this night so I couldn't stay any more longer.
"I'm going back, my stupid brother will be back."
He hugged me. "Rest well."
I hugged him back. "Accept my eyes, Jax."
He immideatly pulled away from me. "I said I don't want anything comjng from you. If you're going to forced me to accept that thing and do all the talking just for me to say yes to that, you better rest Reina. I don't want anything so please stop it...we already talked about it."
"But...."
"Reina." He became serious again.
I closed his door and walked around the hallway breathing deeply not to shed a tear. I keep forcing him and I keep myself getting disappointed.
I already made up my mind! I no longer need this eyes! That man is really unbelievable. I can give this eyes to him! But why do he keep rejecting it?!
I stopped inches away from the exits stairs.
Those tears pooling around my eyes streamed through my hot cheeks. I saw Mom kissing the guy I saw having a conversation with dad. This is the second time and I know that this isn't an illusion anymore.
I almost dropped on my knees but I got a chance to keep my balance. i step backwards not being able to process everything.
I ranaway and went back to my room. I locked my door and went to the bathroom.
My body trembled as I let myself fall on the cold floor of the bathroom. I leaned on the wall and held my lips and cried without a sound.
How can Mom do that?!
I couldn't believe what I saw. The second time around, I couldn't fool myself anymore. It was real, last night is not a lie...it was all real. Mommy kissed another man.
I cried and cry until I stopped when I felt someone walking towards the door of the bathroom.
I never expected that Mom would do that! They're married for pete's sake!
I don't know what to do...I just cried and hugged my knees.
That's why she's distant? Dad knows about this? Why are they like this? What is happening?
I want some answers! I want it now but where I can get those?!
I held my lips to restraine from crying loudly after I hear a knock.
"Reina..."
This voice. It's Kaios.
How can he do this? How can he come to me when I needed someone the most?
"J-jax..." I cried.
"I came here when I felt something wrong without a reason...and now that I'm here hearing you crying...I already said, I love you... share all your burdens with me. I'll listen to you. Tell me all your rants and sadness, I'll be your shoulder... lean on me to until you feel better."
