Since I'm not interested in romantic movies, I chose a horror film instead .

I was currently still resting on Hancock's chest.. I could feel she wasn't wearing a bra.. which is why I haven't moved since..

I'm going to explode soon.

it's like i'm sleeping on two huge water balloons!

"Are you okay y/n? You haven't moved since you picked out this not-so scary film," the empress says as she strokes my hair.

I quickly got up, "Um.. I think it's better if I don't lay my head there," I grabbed her arm and placed it behind my head.

"What are you doing?? You're going to paralyze my arm," she says as she lifts her arm, causing me to hit my head on the bed's metal frame.

"Just lay your head down on the pillow," she adds.

She's so mean.. but I'm glad I'm here with her.

We were watching The Plunjering, apparently the house is haunted with ghosts that are coming out of the toilet. The film isn't keeping me awake, I better do something quick before the night ends.

Just then I remembered that she had forgotten to tell me why she came to America besides the whole tournament thing.

"Hey Hancock," I asked as I faced her but she looked so focused on the film.

"Hm?" she goes.

"The day of our.. you know.. date," I coughed..
"you were cut off by the fireworks and you didn't tell me your reason for wanting to come here."
She then focuses her eyes on her fingers before releasing a sigh.

"Strong memory you got there huh.. Well it's not really a big deal, let's just get back to watching this movie. We still have errands to go tomorrow" she says as she moves away from me, but luckily for her, I slid closer, making her roll her eyes.

"C'mon.. I've told you mines. It's only fair if you do the same," I said.

"Alright, fine," she gave up.
Excited as I was, I turned down the tv's volume.

"I came here to.. see someone," she whispers, a gentle grin on her face. I've never seen her smile like this before... or maybe I have, but why is it different this time..

"Your.. lover?" I regrettably asked.

she blushes, "Well you could say that .. but.. he doesn't feel the same way as I do," she said, her smile fading.

She likes a HE?? But.. I thought she hated men.. I was sure she told me she despised all male.. haa.. who is this lucky man that had caught her attention..

"I confessed him my feelings numerous times, but he rejected me right away."

That man rejected HER? HER? THE EMPRESS? THE HANCOCK WHO ALLURES EVERY SINGLE SOUL?? I thought the empress was the rejector not the rejected. Now I'm curious who this man is..

"He's living here with his brother right now, while his other brother actually works at the academy and .. I wanna see him for the last time.. so that I can finally move on.. even if it crushes me .. I can't do anything about it .. he and I are just simply .. not made for each other..," she said ending it off with a sad tone.

silence filled the room once again.. I didn't even know what to say at this point..

"You must think I'm pathethic huh.." she says with a light smile, not looking directly at me.

"What of course not? I don't think you're pathethic for liking someone.. I mean It's normal for someone to like someone, regardless of how... that person is." I said reassuring her with an enthusiasm tone.

"Right.." she sighs.

"I just didn't think you'd have a special someone," I said as I stared at her.

I feel.. weird, should I feel jealous? When the woman I feel so happy with.. is in love with a man?? I can't compete with that.. she's love struct by this anonymous person

"Yeah? neither did I. I never anticipated this.. I was shocked when I realized my feelings for him.. but I'm not sure if my feelings are truly sincere.. He was simply different from the others.. I suppose that's what makes him.. special to me.." she says as she turns the other way.

"Well, goodnight y/n.. we have an early wake-up call tomorrow," she adds, her face hidden behind her hand, but a blush developing on her cheek.

I locked my gaze on her for a moment before turning off the screen. I climbed out of her bed, expecting her to grab me and ask me to sleep next to her, but she didn't.

I was in bed facing the opposite direction as well.

I guess we both have a special someone empress. Only difference is..  i'm not the one you're thinking about..
