It was September 28 when I first sent you a message; complimenting you that your body did not look your age and then you said thanks... and the rest is history... Since that day, we have been chatting and exchanging messages, but neither of us requested for a face-pic of each other... And yet, we were interested with each other, or the least, I was with you, but you were just being polite or better yet, you did not have nothing much to do, that's why you entertained me. but nevertheless, I did not mind it...Though all the while we were chatting, you did not know that I was hiding something because I did not want to share it with you over chat, and I wanted to let you know of my secret once we meet in person... We kept in touch until September 30 came... (Oh, it was just two days after, hehe...)
It was a Sunday, and I informed you that I will be hearing mass at St Jerome. You asked me if I needed company and I said yes. We can have dinner together and coffee afterwards... I was not able to make the 4PM mass; that's why I attended the 530PM mass. But because the church was celebrating something, that the mass ended at 7PM already. And you were already in ATC just passing the time by at national bookstore... You told me that you were wearing pink shirt and white shorts... and when I saw you at the bookstore, i was like "What the f***, he seems too out for my taste. but what the heck, I am already here..."... And I was even shy to approach you, just texted you where I was standing from and you approached me. But you cannot hide the smile in your face when you saw me (the reason I found out a few dates after..)
We had dinner at Shi Lin, because I knew that you like chinese food. Well, the usual thing happened.. we gotten to know each other, we shared info about ourselves and told stories about our families and lives... And as we continue to open our lives to each other, we kinda had that idea that we are both ideal partners for each other... until you asked me that one dreaded question that I was trying to avoid... "You are single, right?... " And I could not answer you straightforward... But I wanted to be honest with you, I told you the truth about me; that I was still committed but was having issues with my current relationship then. I was afraid that you wanted to go home right away after you found out about it. But you were civil, and you stayed and we even had coffee at Bizu... I dont know what made you stay, but I was happy you did... Because I know that you were the one I wanted to spend my lifetime with no matter what...
Then just before Cinderella's curfew time, we decided to go home. I even went with you in your car because you wanted to drop me off along Alabang Zapote road. All the while in your car, I knew you wanted to hold me or kiss me but you know you could not. But what strike me most was when you told me, "You are almost okay, the entire package is okay, with a little miss..." I was happy with that thought, that with very little hope, I know deep inside that I had a chance with you, that is, only if I am free.
But I know we were at a good start... our attraction with each other was not based on physical traits alone... i liked your maturity and you liked mine... you prefer someone with a stable income, and so was I... we did not know how we look like until we met each other... we both saw that we can get old with each other... and most especially, ours started, though in rough waters, with honesty; which I believe is one basic foundation in a relationship...
