Samantha Queen's POV:

I slowly opened my eyes because of the sunlight that passes the window straight to my eyes.

I stared at the window for awhile but his face suddenly pops up on my head.

So I just covered myself with the blanket and close my eyes again.

But his face shows again so I suddenly opened my eyes. I annoyingly put away the blanket and throw my pillow on the floor.

Why his face keeps on haunting me this time?

I am staring at the ceiling and lying lazily. I don't want to get up and spend this whole day thinking of him.

But my stomach is already complaining.

So I get up and sit on the bed for awhile.

"It's morning again. What's good about mornings? I hate that." I heavily sighed and did the best I could to cheer up myself.

If I could just skip mornings, that would be great.

"Mornings are boring." I get up from the bed and tie my hair.

When I suddenly saw a glimpse of myself at the mirror, I stared at it.

"Hi there, Queen. You're not Queen today because you're not wearing your mask. You're just Samantha." Then I tried to fake a smile.

I hate seeing myself this plain, no make-ups, no curls, no mask, not wearing lingerie and high heels, just a big shirt.

Being this plain means I am powerless. It also means that I cannot hide my feelings.

I hate being alone, I have no one to sex with.

I just want to have fun by having sex and make every man go crazy with me.

I just put the thought away. Maybe I'm not just used in seeing myself without a mask and make up.

I searched for food in the kitchen and cooked a pancake for breakfast.

While cooking, my mind is pre-occupied with what happened last night.

I want to believe in everything he said but I want to ask him as well what he was doing there at the bar. Just by thinking that it's not his first time there makes me think that I need to re-asses what really happened 2 years ago. What did I do so wrong that he just left like that? Or is there something happened that I didn't know that made him choose to just walk away and turned his back on me.

I smelled something...

"Omygod! The pancake!" I immediately transfer the pancake to a plate and turned off the gas stove.

I look at the pancake. It was all ruined now!

I hate being drowned on my thoughts. It doesn't help me in any way. It's just making everything worse.

But I have no other choice but to eat what I cooked.

I heavily sigh and started eating this pancake.

Aside from its not yummy anymore, this pancake is giving me so many memories.

I cannot remove from my head the look of his eyes and the way he said everything, it was so sincere.

"Fvck this pancake!" I said as I tortured it with my fork.

"Fvck you! I hate you pancake! Get lost you stupid pancake!" Then I just found myself crying over a pancake. I wiped away my tears, but it doesn't stop!

"What the fvck? Please stop falling down, tears! I don't need you!" But I just started to cry more and it fvcking hurts to think that this is all because of him again. I'm crying again because of what he said last night!

I stopped torturing the pancake and I throw away the fork.

Then I found myself crying out loud.

Pero nagsimulang manikip ang dibdib ko dahil sa sobrang bigat ng bawat pag-iyak ko. Halos hindi na naman ako makahinga.

Hinigpitan ko ang paghawak ko sa aking dibdib at lalong bumibigat ang bawat pagpapakawala ko ng buntong hininga para kumalma.

Nanlalabo na rin ang paningin ko dahil siguro sa mga luhang pumapatak.

I tried to calm myself and stop crying.

Sinubukan kong tumayo kahit na nanlalabo pa rin ang mga mata ko at nanghihina ang tuhod ko para kumuha ng tubig sa ref, pero nabitawan ko lang ang pitsel at nabasag ito.

Out of frustration, nasabunutan ko ang sarili ko at sinuntok ko ang pintuan ng ref pagkasara ko.

Napapikit ako nang maramdaman ko ang pagkahilo kaya't napakapit ako sa may lababo ngunit dumulas ang kamay ko.

I was about to fall but I felt someone catch me. I managed to open my eyes a little and I saw a worried face.

And that's the last thing I saw before everything went black.

~*~

I felt a headache as I get up from my bed. The sunlight wakes me up as it passes on the window.

It's already 10 in the morning. Why I woke up so late?

I was just sitting on my bed while still massaging my temple when someone opened the door of my room.

"Zy? What are you doing here?" He just smiled at me then he place the food beside my bed. I'm still giving him a confused look.

He sat beside me and checked my temperature. I'm still staring at him. His face is serious and worried.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Wika niya habang hinihipan ang lugaw upang palamigin ito, pagkatapos non ay isinubo niya ito sa akin.

I eat it even though I don't know why he needs to do that. My hands are not paralyzed so I can cook and eat all by myself.

Hindi ko pa rin inaalis sa kanya ang aking pagkaka-titig habang nginunguya ang itlog na kasama ng isinubo niyang lugaw.

"You're still not used to it? Or you forgot again that we're living together?" Nasamid naman ako sa sinabi niya kaya agad niya naman akong inabutan ng tubig.

Pagkaabot ko sakanya ng baso ay nanlalaki pa rin ang mga mata ko at hindi makapaniwala.

He just laughed at me.

"You should've seen your face, Sam. It's priceless." He said while still laughing.

"You're not joking, right?" He just nodded while trying to stop laughing.

Unti-unting nanlaki ang mga mata ko at napahawak ako sa bibig ko nang may mapagtanto ako.

"S-so I was not dreaming earlier when you catch me? You were there all along?" I said and I can't still believe that I really passed out. I thought it was just a dream.

"Yes. We're living together so I can take care of you. I was really worried earlier. Just come to think of it if you were alone? Who will help you?" His worries are written all over his face and he's so sincere with everything he said.

"What happened, Sam? You had a panic attack because of a pancake? That's quite weird." He seriously said as he held my hand and gives me a face that says it will be alright.

Ngumiti ako ngunit agad ding napayuko sa tanong niya. Hindi ko alam kung dapat ko bang sabihin sa kanya ang totoo. Mas lalong hindi ko alam kung kaya ko bang pag-usapan.

"Why? Did he talk to you again?" Why I can't hide anything from him? With just one look in my eyes, he already knows everything.

Sinilip ko lang ang kanyang mukha mula sa pagkakayuko.

I heard him sigh. "I think I should apply to the Café as well so I could protect you from him." Napa-angat naman ang tingin ko sa sinabi niya. He's serious about it.

"N-no. It was not there. Last night, I don't have a show; he booked me to spend the night with him."

I saw how his expression changed. He's really upset earlier with what he heard from me but now he looks distress by knowing that we crossed path and even booked a one night stand with me.

"Does he know?" That's the first thing he asked after some seconds of thinking.

I slowly shook my head.

"I don't think he knows that he was talking to me. I'm wearing my mask, he never seen my face as Queen before." I said as I look back with what happened last night.

"Yeah, you're right." He looks convinced that we're out of trouble and there's nothing to worry about.

So I decided that we could eat in the kitchen since I do not feel dizzy anymore. He cooked meat and while waiting, I'm just staring at his sexy back.

The last time I was here in his place, I said that I wouldn't mind seeing this view every single day.

I smiled with that thought.

It could be a happy ending. I want that happy ending. I am wishing for happy ending.

I didn't notice that Zy is already fixing the table. He just smiled at me, a naughty one. Maybe he thinks that I am day dreaming about his body. Sinimangutan ko lamang siya.

"But of all bar, why there?" He said out of the blue while we are eating.

Hindi ko tuloy naisubo ang pagkain ko at uminom ng tubig bago sumagot.

"He said something like it was the place where he lost me and our relationship. I actually don't understand that part, Zy. I have never been to that bar before I became Queen. That's why it makes me confused and a little part of me wants to talk to him about this." I stopped for awhile. Nakakunot naman ang noo ni Zy at magkasalubong ang mga kilay. Tila ba napapaisip din siya.

"And oh, he also mentioned about his sibling and someone named Alyanna?" He stopped eating and gave me a puzzled look.

"Anong kinalaman nila sainyong dalawa?" He asked after drinking water. I just shrugged my shoulders as an answer.

"He also said that he needed to protect me from his sibling and from that Alyanna." With that, Zy slowly looked at me with an anxious face. Napakunot naman ang noo ko sa reaksyon niya.

He looks like he realized something.

"Posible kayang may kinalaman siya o kasabwat siya sa nangyari sa'yo?" Nanlaki ang mga mata ko dahil sa kanyang sinabi. Nagkatinginan na lamang kaming dalawa at hindi makapaniwala sa posibleng sagot sa matagal ng katanungan mula sa aking nakaraan.

What really happened in my past? Who are the people behind it? What are their reasons? These are the questions running in my mind right now.
