Queen

I walked with Bezy along the field of black and red roses behind the palace and I laughed as fairies landed on his nose and tickled him. He giggled loudly and gently held out his finger for them to sit on. It was adorable.

"Pink," he said as he lowered his finger. The tiny pink fairy looked up at me with a large smile and I winked at her. Ever since I became Queen, I stopped using fairies to do my dirty work in other realms as Lucifer had. I wasn't putting down his methods but after seeing them so miserable and tired from having to go back and forth through realms, I ended the practice.

The fairies seemed a lot happier and they began to fly closer to the palace than before. It was nice seeing the surrounding place so colorful, but a bigger advantage was that since there had a higher vantage point. They were able to warn me of any incoming danger.

"Are you ready to go back inside?" I asked Bezy. I would've loved to stay out here with him but my stupid ass decided to wear heels and it wasn't working out.

"You hurt?" He asked worriedly.

"A little bit. My feet are dying," I laughed.

"Oh no!" He lowered himself to my feet and poked them. I responded with a loud laugh and he looked up at me startled. "Not funny."

"My feet are not dying Bezy, they just hurt," I said.

My phone began buzzing in the back pocket of my skirt and I pulled it out to see Dimitri's contact. With a sigh, I answered the phone and answered it. "Hey."

"Hey, I'm in the dining room, where are you?"

"I'm in the field. I'll come inside right now," I said. I hung up the call and turned to Bezy. "Will you be okay alone?"

He looked preoccupied jumping around with the fairies and giggling and I smiled. "I good."

I looked up at the fairies with him and sighed. "Make sure he gets into the palace before it gets too dark, please." The pink fairy that was on his hand transformed into a woman with a cloud of pink smoke and crossed her legs as she sat on his palm.

"We'll keep him safe," she said.

I smiled at her and nodded. "Thank you." I turned around and headed to the palace.

"You big!" I heard Bezy say to the woman. I heard her giggle and they continued their playing. I nodded at the guards as I walked into the palace and I headed to the dining room.

Dimitri was sitting alone at the large table and when I walked in he smiled at me.

"Hey," I said as I took a seat near him.

"Hi," he said. "I brought you some food from the diner."

Although he and I were still on rocky territory, that was my favorite place to eat. Their wings just made me so happy for some reason. I always associated good memories with the place considering Syn and I went there a lot.

He lifted the bag and passed me a plate of food. I frowned when I didn't smell the usual aroma of wings and I looked at him. "What is it?"

"Open it," he said as he opened his food. I looked at his salad and I cringed to myself. Lettuce, was not my friend unless it was on a juicy burger accompanied with fries.

I opened the tray of food he got me and I was greeted by a plate of colorful green shit. "A salad, yay!" I said weakly as I glanced at him. I looked away from him so I wouldn't get pissed off. How the fuck could you go to a place with an immaculate selection...to get rabbit food?

"I know you don't like them, but they're good for you. I figured you had enough unhealthy food for the week," he said with a laugh.

"How can I have enough unhealthy foods?" I asked with a forced laugh. "I'm immortal, sodium won't kill me."

"It may not kill you, but you could get fat," he said as he scooped a load of lettuce into his mouth.

"So?" I asked.

"So I think you're perfect already. You've already put on a few pounds since we began dating, anyway."

My mouth dropped and I laughed at the offensive comment. It wasn't funny to me, but it was just so unbelievable to me that he would say something like that. "I've gained like seven pounds at most."

"Seven now, but if you do the math with how long we've been together, you could be close to 300 pounds in less than ten years."

"And that matters to you?"

"A little bit. I'd like my partner to still look good, you know?" He asked. "I don't mean any of this in a bad way, baby. I think you're beautiful."

"It doesn't feel like it," I replied with a sigh. I pushed the plate away and stood up. "I'm going to go."

He grabbed my arm before I could walk away and turned me to him. "Going where?"

I snatched my arm away and scowled at him. "I'm going away from here. Out."

"Going out dressed like that?" He said as I looked down at my clothes.

"There's nothing wrong with my clothes," I said. He was more traditional when it came to clothing in public but I didn't see how it was necessary.

"It's tight and short, Queen!" he yelled. "Are you trying to get someone's attention?!"

"Oh, fuck off," I snapped. He was being ridiculous. I didn't think a skirt a forbidden item of clothing. I stepped away from him and headed to my room and he followed behind me.

"Queen!" He yelled from behind me.

I ignored him and continued walking quickly to my room. The only thing being heard through the empty halls were the clicking of my heels and Dimitri stomping after me.

I didn't bother to greet the guards at my door as I angrily stormed past them and slammed my door behind me. Dimitri opened the doors and walked in just to slam it behind him. "Why are you being like this?!"

"Being like what?" I asked in disbelief. He didn't think that he was in the right, did he? "You commented on my weight and now you're trying to tell me that I'm wearing these clothes to get attention!"

My clothes weren't even that bad. I was wearing a distressed denim skirt and a simple black shirt with matching heels. I didn't know if it was jealousy or stupidity but whatever it was, I hated it. I felt suffocated.

"Look, I'm sorry you took it the wrong way-"

I scoffed as I grabbed my purse from the nightstand and shook my head. I needed to get away from him. Before he could tell me another string of lies, I snapped my fingers and made myself appear in front of the diner. Since he couldn't get me what I actually wanted, I'd get it myself.

I smiled at the familiar ringing of the bell as I opened the door and Mabel, the owner greeted me. "Table for one?" She asked sweetly.

"Yup."

"Sit anywhere, sweetheart, I'll come to get your order in a few minutes."

"Thanks, Mabel." I turned to look at the booths and chose one that was in the far corner of the room. The place was almost empty except for a few people so I sat down comfortably and pulled out my phone. I spent the next few minutes checking my emails and my head snapped up at the door when I heard the bell.

My eyes widened and my heart stopped when I saw Syn walk in. He looked the same as I remembered him and my eyes watered at the sight. I still had the same reaction to him as I did in the past and I closed my eyes to calm myself.

Let him forget you.

Lucifer's request was a lot more painful when Syn was only a few feet away from me. I wanted to desperately hug him and touch him, but I couldn't.

I lowered my head and let my hair hide my face as I watched him walk to the diner counter. I was surprised at the fact that he looked the same. It was as if it was only yesterday I was seeing him. He was wearing black denim jeans, a long sleeve matching shirt and his hair was in messy waves as always.

"Hi, I think I left my jacket here earlier," he said to Mabel at the counter. She gave him a warm smile and nodded. "We have a couple here, what does it look like?"

"It's a black leather jacket," he responded.

Mabel nodded and walked to the back. When she left, Syn shoved his hands into his pocket and boredly looked around the place. When he was about to look in my direction, I lowered my head onto the table and held my breath.

"Here you go, sir," Mabel spoke.

I looked up as saw Syn take the jacket from her and nod. "Thank you." I let out a sigh of relief as he turned to the door to leave. A part of me wanted to go out and stop him but the smarter part knew this was for the best.

"Wait! Sir!" Mabel yelled. Syn turned around and raised a brow at her. "Did you like the apple pie earlier? I changed the recipe a few days ago and I'd love feedback."

"It was delicious," he replied.

"I'm baking one right now. If you'd like to wait a few minutes I can fix you up a plate to go."

Syn walked back into the diner and nodded. "That would be nice." She gestured for him to take a seat and he sat a few tables down from me. I groaned at my misfortune and shook my head. If I were to look up, we'd be completely facing one another.

I peeked up at him and he busied himself with looking at the menu and I did the same. Thankfully the menu was large enough that I could hide my face without having to bend down.

"Hey, sweetie, what can I get you?" I jumped when I heard the waitress next to me and I looked up at her with a nervous smile.

"Umm, the usual," I whispered nervously.

She smiled and nodded. "Got it." She reached out for the menu and I gave it to her as I momentarily forgot that it was hiding my face. When I remembered, I quickly covered my face.

He doesn't remember you. The message on the note passed through my mind again and I slowly let down my hands. Even if he were to see me, he wouldn't know me. I'd be just another stranger in this large city.

I took a deep breath and laid my hands on my lap. I looked around reluctantly as I swallowed a lump in my throat. My eyes finally moved back to his and my heart stopped all over again when I saw him looking back at me.

I looked away quickly and I froze when I saw him get up from his seat in my peripheral. I sunk lower and lower into my seat as he arrived at my table.

"Hi, do I know you?"
