Eve's Point Of View*
I woke up and I'm in a room that's dark, or is the theme of this room really Black? I held my forehead because there was a cloth on it. Wait a second...
"Where am I!"
I immediately sat down and looked at my body, and my eyes widened even more because my clothes were different. I looked at what I'm wearing—a white polo shirt—and when I looked at the bottom, it was a boxer, which made my eyes widen even more.
I covered my mouth because I don't remember anything that happened to me yesterday. On the way, I fell asleep, and when I woke up, I was here in this bed where I lay, and my clothes were a man's clothes, and they smelled familiar.
I felt between my legs, there was no pain there. It means that I was not being touched, which made me sighed in relief, but I held my head when I felt my headache.
I went back to lying down because my vision was spinning. Do I have a fever?
Suddenly someone knocked, and it opened, and I saw Matias looking at me, and he was carrying a tray that looked like breakfast.
"How did I end up back here?" I asked him.
I was mad at him yesterday, right? Because he told me I'm just a thing to use.
"I don't want it to be my fault if you die on the street. My position and status will be ruined if that happens."
I frowned because of what he said, and he put the food to the side.
He approached me.
"How are you feeling?"
I was surprised by his question. Since when did he worry about me?
"I'm fine. So I'm leaving."
I was about to sit down when my vision suddenly rolled again, which made me hold my forehead.
"Damn, you're really timing," I said murmured to myself.
"I think you're not okay."
He sat on the edge of the bed, and his face slowly came closer to mine, making my eyes widen. Until our foreheads were touching and our noses were touching, I closed my eyes.
My heart is pounding because of what is happening now. Damn! Will he kiss me now!
"What's that face? Do you really think I'm going to kiss you?"
I woke up in realization and glared at him.
"I'm just squinting because you're so close. I'm leaving."
"Don't leave yet. Get well here first. It's my fault why you got sick today."
"There is no need for you to do that. You have no obligation to me. I wanted to leave yesterday, and you are not to blame for that."
"Whatever you said If I said stay here first, I meant stay here first and don't leave until you've recovered. Do you want to see the person you chat with that you haven't even seen in person?"
I was confused by what he said. Chat mate? who?
"Who? What do you mean by that?"
"The one you saw at the restaurant. That Mat-mat."
I frowned because of what he said. How did he know that name?
"H-How did you know that name..."
"You said that over and over when you were sleeping. You miss him because you left him."
Waaaa! Did I really talk even though I was asleep? Damn it! That thing should not happen!
"Forget about that thing. You don't need to care who that person is."
I looked away because he didn't know he was really the Mat-mat I was talking about, and it was also timing because his name was Matias.
I then remembered the reason why I called him Mat-mat.
flash back...
We were watching a game show on TV while we were eating at this guy's place. We've been living together for five days, and we still don't know each other's names.
"Okay, question number 10 for the total price of 1 million."
I looked at the TV because the game show there was about math, and they had to answer the questions that were given to them.
"9876 times 5432 is equal to?"
My eyes widened because it was so hard. How could they answer that without a calculator?
"53,646,432."
I looked at the person next to me, who was eating and not watching TV.
And I immediately took out my cell phone and used the calculator to answer the question there, and my eyes widened at the answer.
"What was your answer again?"
"53,646,432."
"Woah! You know the answer right away without a calculator. That's a multiplication, you know."
"That's easy."
"Woah! I thought he had amnesia?" I asked myself.
"It was so simple. I'm Just multiplying in my mind."
My eyes widened because of what he said.
"Ah, I know what I'm going to call you. I'm going to call you Mat-mat. Because you love Math."
"Do as you please, my love."
I was astounded by what he called me.
"Heh! What you're talking about. Eat now."
He smiled and ate again. Hmp! His man is smiling without a reason.
End Of Flashbacks...
And here is the Mat-mat that I used to know. He is no longer the Mat-mat I used to know who was joking and always made me laugh.
He is different from the one I used to know.
He is no longer the Mat-mat who smiles while looking at me.
"It's like I said. Stay here in my mansion until you recover. Don't worry, you can go wherever you want, but only after you recover and eat your breakfast. There's medicine there for you to drink."
"I hate drugs."
He frowned because of what I said.
You must drink that for your total recovery. Have you eaten, or do you want me to feed you?
"Don't worry. I can handle myself."
"I just noticed it now. You have an attitude when you get sick. You're a different person when you don't get sick."
I was quiet, I had to be nice to know their other plan and why they wanted to arrest Moroccans.
"I can take care of myself. Thank you very much for your concern."
He was really different then. Because he was the one who took care of me when I got sick, but... That was before, and it's different now.
Aish! Forget the f*cking past and forget him, Eve. You let him go a long time ago, and you are the only one who has been struggling for three years to think about him. It seems that he doesn't remember anything about you, even though you are in disguise; you can't really see or hear him looking for you. That means he forgot about you!
So forget about him and just focus on the case for your deceased friends.
I sighed, looked out the window, and sighed once again.
I felt that someone sat next to me, and I looked at him, and he was already holding the plate with my breakfast food and a spoon.
"W-What are you doing? H-hey wait."
"To feed you. Maybe you don't want to eat, and you won't take your medicine yet. Maybe Mat-mat will be angry because I didn't take care of you and just left you."
My eyes widened because of what he said.
"What?"
