''Whoa, why do I suddenly feel that your story is like, straight out of a novel? I feel that all the years you used watching Korean dramas finally paid off, your life story is like a drama'' Paige said after listening to Noah and Carlien tell them everything about her life.
''Even I feel like I am suddenly the main character of a drama''
''So, what are the benefits of been the heir? Will you have lots of money? Won't that an we are going to have a life of bliss and contentnt?''
''You an, Carly is going to have a life of bliss and contentnt, Paige'' Jordan said to her and she shook her head.
''No, I an us. We are Siase twins, rember? I didn't risk my life for you just so she could beco the queen and abandon ?'' Paige frowned looking at Carlien.
''I didn't say I was going to abandon you?'' Carlien challenged her.
''But, you didn't also say you wouldn't abandon ?'' they looked at each other, each with a slight frown.
''You have lovely people around you, sister'' Noah said and smiled, happy to see that Carlien was surrounded by people who loved and cared for her.
''Carlien is a sweet girl, in fact the sweetest there is to ever exist in the history of best friends, so off course, we love her, right Carl?'' Paige placed her head on Carlien's shoulder.
''Right, your boyfriend is here, stop been clingy'' Carlien said and pushed Paige over to Jordan.
''Wow, I can't believe you just ditched after becoming the 'Queen'. I should send your people pictures of you when you were a baby. They will be shocked by the revelation''
''How dare you talk to the 'Queen' that way? Do you have a death wish?'' Carlien asked and tilted her head looking condescendingly down at Paige.
''Your highness, I am in the wrong. please, forgive this ignorant citizen'' Paige said bowing before her.
''Hump!! How dare you ask for the Queen's forgiveness? Take her away, bring her head back to on a plate!!!''
''Carl, seriously. My head on a plate? What are you? King Herod?'' Paige said and the n busted into laughter.
''That's enough, you two are seriously a match made in heaven'' Jordan said and pulled Paige over to his side.
Carlien laughed and her eyes t with Lucas. She noticed he had been quiet all this ti since she told them her story. eting his gaze, she gave him a warm smile and pointed at the door and nodded her head.
''Is getting late, I should go back to my place now. Jordan, Lucas and Paige. It was nice eting all of you. I will co again tomorrow since I have to take Cassax away'' Noah said and stood up.
''I will see Noah off and be back. You two better be quick with whatever you want to do'' Carlien said to Paige and Jordan.
''Doesn't she look different now that she had suddenly beco the 'Queen' of a country?'' Paige murmured and Jordan shook his head.
Carlien stopped at the door and turned to look at Lucas again with a slight frown. He stood up imdiately and followed them out.
''So, Carl said we should be quick with what we want to do'' Jordan said suggestively.
''Jessi is in the room''
''So what? I missed you so much, I didn't even get to kiss you since yesterday because your father was still around'' Jordan said and pushed her on the couch.
.
''Bye'' Carlien waved at Noah as he drove away before she turned to Lucas asking, ''beer or coffee?''
''Yes?''
''I asked which one you preferred, beer or coffee?'' she asked walked away towards the hospital's cafeteria.
''You are still not feeling well. It is not advisable to drink any of that at night'' Lucas said quickening his steps to catch up with her.
''I am not the one going to drink. You look like you could use a drinking buddy, so I decided to avail myself. Don't you have anything to say to ?'' she asked as they went into the dimly lit cafeteria kitchen. She opened the fridge and remove a dium sized bottle of beer for him, ''here. Let's sit over there''
''How did you know I had sothing to say to you?'' he asked and pulled a chair out for her to sit.
''Your gaze. Since the day you ca, this could be considered the first ti we are alone right? Though I don't rember much about you, I just feel a sense of familiarity with you. I wonder why?''
''Well, we were considered friends, so it's normal to feel that way''
''Friends? a friend wouldn't leave the city and take up a job in a rural village like this one just because his friend is sick? Tell , honestly. Did we have a relationship besides been friends? Sothing more special between us? There must be a reason why you ca here, right?''
''What do you want to know?'' he asked looking at her face.
''Did we have a special relationship before the incident?''
''No, we had a rather normal friendship where I pestered you into becoming my friend, but I didn't treat you well and was the first to leave when you needed the most''
''Whoa, so honest. Then, why are here, if you were the one who left first? I am guessing that we must have argued and I definitely hated you, right? because, I hate people who make decisions for or abandon first''
''You are right. You hated . You even told to never appear in front of you again or you will kill ''
''Tsk. And you still dared to co? What would have happened if I rembered you then?''
''I guess you would have asked to leave or stay away from you''
''Right, that is sothing I am capable of doing. But, you haven't still answered my question. Why did you still co knowing that I hate you?''
''Because I wanted to take my chances with you. see if I can make you like ''
''That just made my heart flutter but, I really don't have any impression about you except the familiar feeling of a strange attachnt. If you want to like you, then you need to work hard at it''
''I am working on it''
''Good luck with that'' Carlien said watching him drink his beer.
.
Carlien returned to their quarters and saw Paige eating ice cream.
''Aren't you afraid of getting fat? Why are you suddenly eating ice cream so late?''
''I was waiting for your 'highness' to return with juicy news. You went out with Lucas. Tell , are you rekindling your love for him?''
''My love for him? Did I love him that much?''
''Oh, you even cried on my shoulders the whole night the day you cursed him to never appear in front of you. I had to go and give him and his brother a good thrashing on your behalf'' Paige said next to her on the couch.
''His brother? I even know his brother?''
''Yes, Lazarus. Lazarus is Lucas's step brother, sa father different mothers''
''How co I don't even rember this?''
''Your highness, amnesia is a scary thing, seeing that it happened to soone so closed to , I can understand the feelings of those family mbers whose loved ones have dentia. I don't know what I would have done if you had forgotten about ? Wait, does that even an, you were going to run off and beco a queen without my knowledge?''
''You really know how to ss with , lately Paige''
''Your highness, rember this, you can't beco a queen without my permission''
''The more you speak, the more I wished you were the one I forgot off''
''What? seriously? You wished you forgot of , instead?''
''Oh, you talk too much''
''So, tell . What do you think about Lucas?''
''What do you want to think about him? He is just a familiar person to ''
''You spent more than an hour outside with a 'familiar' person? Why don't you just say a 'familiar' husband?''
''Don't you hate him for hurting ? Why are you suddenly interested in what I talk to him about?''
''Because I don't like him for you. He might have changed but he needs to get pass before you can accept him back''
''Alright, big sister, I don't like him. I am just curious about him. I asked him so few questions to see if it could help rember him but unfortunately it didn't. I feel sorry for him though''
''Well, I hope you feel sorry for him when you regain your mory of how you two parted ways''
''Paige, I get that you are acting this way because you love , but, trust . I won't be fooled twice'' she said and snatched the bowl of ice cream from Paige.
''Didn't you just tell I would beco fat if I ate ice cream in the night?''
''I said that because you have a boyfriend that is loved by many won. You better stay in shape or the won in this hospital will take him from you''
''I think Jordan has overstayed his welco. He should pack his things and leave tomorrow morning''
Carlien chuckled.
''I'm serious. He is leaving tomorrow. I can't allow myself to be on guard all the ti because of him'' she had a determined look on her face showing her displeasure.
