[Cwen's POV]
Nagising ako dahil sa tapik ni Herb.
"I'm sorry to wake you up, my Queen. It's dinner time" I turned around and close my eyes again
"I thought you have some worth it news there Herb. Worth it of paying my ruined sleep" I'm still sleepy.
"I'm sorry. But you need to eat. Energy for strong immunity" napamulat ako
"The fuck?" And I turned again to face him coldly. He just smile
"Come on Cwen, you need to eat. We have a sparring tomorrow, you need to have some proteins" I smirked
"I can still beat u to death even though I'm hungry and thirsty and tired" he just looked at me saying he gave up. I just grinned at him
"I know. Now come on and let's eat." Umiling ako
"Get me some foods. I know Hyacinth and Anastacia is there. I want silence for now." Tiningnan lang ako ni Herb at tumayo na rin. Alam niyang wala na siyang magagawa.
Before he could totally go out, I called him
"Eat with me" and that makes him smile.
What took him so long? I can say that I'm now hungry. Damn! Naka busangot lang ako ng may kumatok.
I get my gun and shot the door. And there he is, nagtutulak sa isang lalagyan ng pagkain na may gulong (lol diko kasi alam ang name). He's smiling like it's a good work. How I hate that smile, tsk!
"I know that face, Cwen. I'm here now so stop looking at me like that. You're giving me goosebumps" he said and arrange the food in front of me.
"I'm hungry" the only words I said to him. He chuckled and give me the food that I like. He really know everything about what I likes and dislikes. I looked at him like observing. He's about to eat when he feels I'm staring at him. He put down the food and gulped.
"Whoa Cwen, what's with the stare? Am I in trouble or something?" He stared at me straight.
"Nahh" still staring at him. I just remembered our childhood memories. Herb is the only person who understands me and care for me. He's the only one who can talk to me and make me smile or a little and make me laugh in a mean time after the massacre. He's the only one who have strong patience and understands my mood. My attitude. The only person who can chill the awakening evilness inside me.
That's why I trusted him. I never have the guts to say thank you to him. He's willing to sacrifice his life for me. Like tasting the foods that were offered before I'll eat it.
But there's one thing that I'm confused. Does he do all of it because it's his job, or he's really willing to sacrifice a life for an unworthy person like me?....
"Cwen, eat" he commanded. The hell?!
I was about to scold him when he raised his hand and stopped in front of my face. Now this is unacceptable!
"Eat first, my Queen. You can kill me tomorrow." And he smiled. I remained silent and just eat the food.
[Herb's POV]
I can't focus on my food! Shit! Cwen is eating comfortably in my front. Does she aware that I'm still a man?!
I'm distracted fuck this! I gulped so many damn time. I'm acting like there's nothing wrong but NO!
"Are you alright Herb?" Cwen asked me coldly. I just nodded.
I took a glanced to her one more time. Just this time. I'm sorry Cwen, why do you have this sexiness?
She's just wearing a damn robe, her favourite. And every time her hand grab foods, I can see the smooth shiny skin of her cleavage! She have a blessed breast I can say that~ WHAT THE HELL HERB?! go back to your senses! Malalaman lang to ni Cwen, naka ratay na siguro ako nangyon.
I removed all the green images in my mind and just focus on my food.
___________________________
Morning came and I jogged around the house. I was about to sit and chill in the bench for a while when I saw lady from a far. Is that Cwen? Siya nga. Oh I forgot, she'll wake up early (every 4am) just to roam and exercise in the mansion. Her own way of exploring her house. Bakit subrang aga? Dahil siguro wala pang gaanong gising.
Nilapitan ko siya. I know she can feel my presence, pero di parin siya humaharap saakin.
She's wearing a black sports bra and paired it with sports short and rubber shoes. She ponytailed her wavy hair and I can see sweats in her body.
"You're early" she asked me coldly, hindi parin siya humaharap saakin. Patuloy siyang nag stre-stretching.
"I can't sleep." Yeah that's right. "So I jogged early" I saw her nodded. She stopped stretching at lumapit sa bench. Inabot niya ang tubig at humarap saakin sabay upo at uminom ng tubig.
Bakit parang nag slow motion ang paligid? I looked at her and Fuck! She..... she looks hot... I mean she always look hot but this time, I can't looked away. Hanggang sa bumaba ang paningin ko sa dibdib niya. *gulped
"I hope you love the view you have stared there Herb" and duon ako nakabalik sa ulirat. Shit Herb umayos ka!
I bowed down of showing my apology and respect "I'm sorry, Queen. My fault" she just shrugged her shoulders and stood up. Start walking. Where is she going?
"I believe we have a sparring schedule for today Mr. Fraukine" she coldly said and start walking again.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. So I just followed her. She's the boss.
We're here at the sparring room. It's seems like a normal room but I think there's something in here. I don't know yet cause this is the first I've got here.
Cwen started stretching and warming up. I just looked at her amazed. I've always see this scenario but you know, she's just so cool without making effort.
"Same rules, no rules" and with that she throw some knife on me. Shit! I did forgot that she's not giving any warnings!
"Focus Herb, It would be boring if my enemy if distracted" and that she throw again some knife on me. Umiwas lang ako sa walang tigil niyang pag babato ng mga kutsilo. When I've got a chance to escape it, I take that chance to change my position and about to punch her, before it landed on her face, nakuha na niya ang kamao ko at sinuntok sa tiyan. Masakit yun ngunit hindi gaanong kalakas para mapatumba ako. I grabbed her hands and twirl her like we were dancing and put my arms on her neck.
"You really smells so good even sweating" I said. She just smirked at inapakan ang paa ko, napa daing ako sa sakit at dahil sa katangahan ko, naka wala siya. Damn! I almost got her! She looked at me like saying 'weakling' fucking shit. I want to give her a good fight. But I guess I'm too distracted by her! I never acted like this before, she'll congratulate me after giving her a good fight but as expected, she always win.
Hindi ako sumugod, maybe she's really that bored that she lose her patience at tinakbuhan ako. I almost hit by his katana buti nalang at mabilis ang reflection ko kaya nakaiwas agad. Pinatid ko ang kamay niya upang mabitawan ang hawak na katana. Nagawa ko mga iyon ngunit masyado siyang mabilis at gamit ang isang kamay sinuntok ako. Hindi ko nasangga dahil naka focus lang ako sa hawak niyang katana.
And after the sparring, She won, AGAIN. She's on top of me and both of us catching our breath. She looked me in the eyes. Those hazelnut eyes, the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. Those eyes that'll change when the evil inside her awaken.
"I'm so disappointed Herb, for the first time you didn't gave me a good fight" she stood up and offered her hands to me. Helping me to stand up.
"I'm sorry, let's have a rematch next time. And I'll surely win" I confidently said. Even though it's not that sure.
She just shrugged and smirked. Before she could walk out to the room, I was dumbfounded by her last advice;
"Don't ever show your weakling side on me Herb, this the first time I saw lot emotions in your eyes. You know that's bad" and then she left me.....
