I have remembered everything...everything that had happened last night.

The number of booze I drank...

The time Kit decided to go back to our room...

Those moons knocked down on the floor...

The conversation I started with Forth...

And the warm kisses we shared together...

I remember those...it's the reality that has struck me up the moment I open my eyes from a deep slumber. I thought, it was all a dream...but, it's not and will never be. I can't even think about my throbbing head as my mind fills up with those memories.

I am fucked up...

"Finally, the highness has been awaken,"

I think, I hear Kit's voice from a distance, but I can only see the nothingness as I deconstruct the details of yesterday's event.

"It's already late. You have to move your ass up if you don't want us to be left by others."

What? What is he saying? Left by others? Why? Why are they leaving us? And who are they?

"Oi, Beam. Are you awake? Or you're still dreaming?"

A dream? Perhaps, it's just a dream. I wish... I strongly wish everything is just a dream, because I have no idea how can I deal with this one. My mind is a complete haze, I feel like---

Smack!

A hard hit on my head brings me back from my trance. Aww! It fucking hurts!

I glare at the person who's responsible for this. But, Kit seems so oblivious of what he did. He's just grinning from ear to ear like he doesn't hit me at all.

"You look like an idiot," he's almost laughing as he said it. "What happen to you, Beam? Did one of the stars turn you down that's why you're looking pathetic?"

"How could they resist me? I'm turning them down and not the other way," I scowled while massaging the part he hit. One of these days, I'll get him back for this.

And then, Kit throws a towel on my face.

"Whatever. You have to get up and get ready, your highness. We'll be leaving in an hour. You're sleeping as if you're in your own apartment. Forth said, you've got yourself wasted again. I told you to head back with me, but you insisted on staying. You're not even listening..."

As usual, he starts with his nag like a mother. But I stop absorbing his words the moment I heard that name. I feel my muscles tense and a drum on my chest.

"Forth?!" I blurted.

Kit stops from nagging. "What about, Forth?" he quickly asked.

"You've seen him today?" I think, I spoke the words slowly.

Luckily, Kit is busy in packing up his things, so he hasn't seen how rounded my eyes are. But, I notice him furrows his brows.

"Yes. He went here a couple of times to check if you're okay. He's worrying that you'll get a headache once you've awaken..." He glances at my direction with teasing eyes. "...your caring hubby left an aspirin, in case his wifey will need it."

I feel the flushes of my cheeks as I throw a pillow on my best friend annoying face. Hubby, my ass! I immediately get up from the bed, grab the towel, and rush inside the bathroom.

I can still hear Kit's mocking laugh from here.

"What's with you, Beam? Can't accept Forth as your husband?" he shouted.
