The Heartless Queen

Chapter 4: Everything

Tahimik lang kami sa loob ng sasakyan ni Cassion. Ayaw ko siyang kausapin. Maiinis lang niya 'ko. Hindi ko parin makakalimutan 'yung ginawa niya  kagabi.

Meron siyang band aid sa kanyang pisngi para takpan ang nagawa kong sugat sa kanya.

I really want to end his life but something's holding me back. What? I don't really know. Damn.

I think I kind of grew fond of this guy.

Bumaba na ako ng sasakyan nang mapansin kong nakahinto na ito, "Eight pa ang uwi ko. After nitong lunch date namin ni Isaac didiretso na ako sa building. Magko-commute nalang ako. You go wherever you want to go. I can handle myself."

I don't hear him say a word, so I think it's just fine with him. Day off niya ngayon at once in a blue moon lang iyon mangyari.

Pagpasok ko ng venue which is isang seaside restaurant ay hinanap ko agad si Isaac ngunit mukhang wala pa siya kaya kumuha na ako ng pwestong mauupuan. He's late. And he's making the queen wait! What should I do with him?

I smirked as I imagined a brutal crime I'm planning to do. Gauge his eye out or maybe cut his tongue or his legs? Or maybe his genetalia instead? Nah. That's too gross. And why would I kill Isaac? He's just late.

Just late?! Who am I kidding?! Tss. Making the queen wait is equivalent to messing with the queen and messing with the queen means dying.

Really now, Stasia?

I heard someone clearing his throat. Agad kong napagtanto na nakaupo na pala sa harapan ko si Isaac. I'm too preoccupied of thinking how should end his life.

"You're late," he muttered habang nakatingin siya sa orasan niya.

Kumunot ang noo ko. The nerve of this guy.

"Uhuh? Ako pa talaga ang late? I've been waiting here for like two minutes," I said. And I'm already planning your brutal death!

"Nagpunta lang ako ng washroom? Late ka ng thirty minutes," he said. "And now you're accusing me of being late?"

I arched an eyebrow. There's something off about him today. Bakit ang sungit niya? He should be just timid and quiet. Well, the last time we met, noong pinakilala kami sa isa't isa, he wasn't like this.

"But a queen is never late, you just arrived here too early. I am not late. Okay?" I said as I rolled my eyes heavenwards.

Okay. I just quoted the queen from Princess Diaries.

"So what do you want to talk about, lil miss murderer?" he said, showing a cocky grin. I remained unfazed. Did he just...

"What did you say?"

"I know your secrets, sweetheart," he declared. His expression was grim. "I know you killed a lot of people. Marry me and you'll be safe."

My lips twitched to a sheepish grin. "Who are you?"

Nainis ako nang bigla itong tumawa ng malakas. I crossed my arms and looked at him sternly. What's so funny?

"Joke lang. Ito naman, 'di ka na mabiro. Don't worry, your secret is safe with me. Besides, I don't wanna marry your shit." He chuckled.

"Yeah right. As if I want to marry you." I said going back to my seat which made him laugh more. "How did you know?"

He only grinned. I raised an eyebrow. "Asshole."

There's something different about him today.

"They call you Queen, right? Grabe. Ang cool mo! Pa-autograph!" patuya niyang sabi.
