"Tao seo" she said releasing me from the best hug I ever had. "I love you"
"I love you too Cynthia. I truly do. Please don't leave me" I begged. Even though this was the first time I ever said that word out, I knew it was the truth, that I've always loved her.
"I love you so..." but I was unable to finished the sentence because she had started kissing me, kissing me with hunger. It was a kiss that said it all. How much she wanted me. How much she loved me. How much she was going to miss me. How sorry she was that we were not going to be together. How sorry she was that she was leaving me. I felt the heat spreading through my veins and my brain could not process anything but the kiss. If I was going to rate the kiss in percentage, I was going to rate it 200 percent without thinking twice because it was the best kiss I've ever had and Yena's kiss be damned.
"Tao seo" she called breaking the kiss. "My time is almost up" and that was when I came back to my senses.
"Cynthia" I said looking her straight in the eyes, pleading with my own eyes.
"Tao seo. I'm sorry" and with that she moved out of my reach about ten meters away, with her hands widely spread above her head as if she was about to make a declaration and that was exactly what she did.
"I lose" she screamed. "I do not deserve to be a royal. I'm not worthy to have the position" and with that she was falling and I was running in order to grab her, which I eventually did.
"Cynthia" I said sobbing but I thought she was unable to hear me because her eye were out of focus and she was becoming whitish as if a light was about to penetrate her. I closed my eyes firmly because I do not want to see her being blown apart but when I heard no sound I opened an eye to view what was happening and realized that she was looking at me with a thin smile on her face.
"Tao seo" she said "I think the fate is..." but she was unable to finish the statement because she had already evaporated to nothing.
Waking up that day was the greatest mistake I'd ever made in my entire life. I should have evaporated to nothing the way she did. I cried. I cried bitterly. I cried out loud but I knew it was not going bring Cynthia back. I knew with Cynthia out of my life, my life was nothing
I had an ordinary pass in that last paper and I thanked God that it was only one because I wondered what my GPA was going to be if I had more.
**************************************************************
I and Chun jo started living in the same building six months ago or let me say Chun jo parked to my building six months ago because this building had been my home since I graduated from the university and although my anger toward Chun jo about what she did to Jeremy had subsided over the years, I still don't feel at ease in her presence especially with her latest behaviours.
Last week Saturday, someone knocked at my door hardly and I was so annoyed because my not up to twenty minutes sleep had been disturbed and so I got up angrily to shoo away the person because I wasn't expecting any visitor, at least not around twenty minutes before 12:00am.
When I opened the door I was expecting one of my friends but not Chun jo. I wasn't saying Chun jo wasn't my friend but I could still say she wasn't my friend or let me just say I was a little bit confused about the definition of our relationship.
"Chun jo what..." but I couldn't finish the statement because she had drunkenly pushed me out of the way and was making her way to my living room. Without knowing what was happening I closed the door because it was the first thing that came to my mind and made my way to the nearest couch.
"Chun jo. Why do you have to get yourself this drunk?" I asked but was replied with soft snoring so I got up, went to my room and looked for a spare blanket. I took the blanket to the sitting room, adjusted her sleeping position and covered her with the blanket. I made my way back to my bedroom and got myself comfortable on my bed.
I was dreaming about Cynthia, about how she had hugged me. How she had kissed me. How we had lived happily after. I knew it wasn't a dream because I was the one making them up. This dream or makeup dream is one of the dreams I had when I fell asleep because they were the ones I think about, because they gave me comfort.
But the kissing was becoming more heated and more real and so I opened an eye to see what was happening and I was so shocked with what I saw. At first I thought it was real, that Cynthia was the one kissing me but when I opened my eyes clearly and realized what was happening, that it wasn't Cynthia but Chun jo that was kissing me, I was shocked and without thinking twice I pushed her away from me to the extent that she rolled out of the bed and landed in hairs and legs.
I got out of the bed instantly and walked to the other side of the bed where she was trying to get up. "How dare you?" I asked furiously. I wasn't furious about the kiss because there was nothing to make out of it but what I was furious about was where she had done it. She had done it on my bed. Cynthia's bed. I still couldn't wrap my brain to the fact that she had slept on Cynthia's side of the bed.
"What were you thinking?" I asked. Slowing down my breadth.
"I thought..."
"You thought what?"
"I thought you need me" and that made me laughed because Chun jo thinking she was needed sounds stupid.
"When did I ever tell you that I need you? Have you ever seen a text from me saying 'Chun jo I need you'? Have you?"
"But..."
"Don't but me Chun jo. You have to get out now and if you don't. I will" I said going to my side of the bed, trying to grabbed my phone, pillow and blanket before I stopped on my tracked because that was when I remembered that I do not want her near that bed again. So I faced her and said "Chun jo. Out of my room" quietly which she obeyed instantly.
