But if there was one thing I did, I was there for her. Actually, she is the first girl whom I went out with on her birthday. I was invited for many, but she's the first.
I would like to remember all these in detail because I really have poor memory. So this is what happened:
I gave her a text message that we were already dismissed from our review schooling. She told me initially that we would eat at Chowking. Unfortunately for me, I wasn't familiar with Colon St. So I told her that she'd come pick me up. She told me to wait up 15 mins. and I did.
Then when time was almost up, I went outside to see if she was already around. No sightings of her yet. After a while, my phone rang. It was her. I immediately looked around if she was there somewhere just looking at me. "Where are you?" She asked. "I'm still here just outside the review center," I replied. Well, she told me that Chowking was just in the next block. I told her my exact location and she gave me instructions on how to reach Chowking. Amazingly, it was just around the corner. Probably around 120m away from the review center.
I arrived first. I waited for her to arrive. When she went in, I stood up from my sit and wanted to assist her in ordering for food when she said,"Wait, my friends are here. I'll introduce them to you later." I was like, "Wha--??"
I was liked being crossed by Iverson. She took my game plan off. I was like the triangle offense being read like a book. Man!
But I just smiled. What was I going to say? I'm the type of guy who plans all his moves before making it. I looked at them and analyzed them. Like an eagle looking for its prey. I was going for the jugular. I smelled blood. Unfortunately, it was my blood. Boo!
She brought 4 friends with her; Jen, Jei, Eryll, and I-forgot-her-name. OMG! While in the table, I did my best to converse with Eryll and her ate. These two girls, btw, are the sister of Jei. I really did my best to talk with them. I asked questions, I got answers. I talked about something, the respond. Period. I mean, what is up with that? LOL
The orders were complete and we started eating. Jei, Jen, and here are call center agents, so the whole time we were eating, it was just them talking about what-have-yous in the call center industry. Eryll, her ate, and I were just there eating, listening, and casually smiling/smirking/laughing about what they were talking about. She constantly was asking if I was doing okay. Of course I was.
During the meal, I received a text message. It was from her. I really didn't get the message and I was wondering why she gave me an sms when were very near to each other. Hmm. I just let it pass.
After the meal, the four of them went to the restroom to probably clean up. We were left alone in the table. Then I asked her why she gave me the text message and what it was all about. She said that she just replied to the sms that I gave her. I was like, "I was sure that I didn't give her a text message when we both were in the building." She opened her inbox and let me read the message I gave her.
I wanted to die.
The message I sent to her wasn't meant for her but for my friend. The text message was I thought this was a date. The message was intended to inform my friend that what he thought was a date between me and her turned out to be something else, in this case, a barkada eat out or something.
Her reply was Sige lang, at least you get to meet my friends. That was really okay. What bothered me was I sent a message to the wrong person. THAT WAS A FIRST TIME!
Anyway, after the meal, we went to EMall and did some videoke. We sang 10 songs; I got 2, she got 2, and the rest belonged to Jei and Jen. While she was singing Jei and Jen told me that I was the only person who made her sing. Based on what they said, I thought that maybe during their outings that involved singing, she's the photographer or she was doing something else.
She sang Ocean Deep and 'Til My Heartache Ends. I picked both songs for her. The latter was some kinda mistake. The message was somehow.. hmm.. Google it. :D
After the videoke session, we went to McDonald's and had fries and coke float. She and Jei kept on blabbering about work is tiring and they need rest and they lack sleep. I encouraged them to just keep on going since they told me that it's gonna be their last two weeks and they'll get back to focusing on their academic life. Well, I guess I reached them.
I told them to sleep for an hour or so before they go to work. So just about past 3 in the afternoon, we went straight to their boarding house. I went with them in order to know the location of the place they're staying. I told her that I might surprise her or something.
Inside, we got to talk a little. Time was limited because she had to rest. After which, I greeted her a Happy birthday, hugged and kissed her, and went home.
During the course of the activities, there were two things that bothered me. One was I wanted to hold her hand and second, I wanted to tell her what I'm feeling when I'm with her. I just couldn't do both. I feel like I'd be cheating on her if I did that.
Let's face it, she just came from a break-up. I know that she doesn't want a relationship yet. And I'm quite satisfied with the things as they are now.
But here's where things get complicated. Just like the J Brazil's Girl I'm Trying, we say we're friends but friends don't call twenty times a day. It isn't really like calling twenty times a day but the equivalent. We text almost non stop and when the occasional talks on the phone happen, we do it with an average of 2 hours.
I also love to kiss her. I kiss her every time I get the chance! I could kiss her anywhere but the lips. I have this standing principle about that. I think I've already blogged about it.
We are really very close now. I think I've known her since forever even though we had been communicating only since February of this year. And I think she knows a lot about me now, too. But still, there are things that I just couldn't say yet. Things that might change the course of our lives forever.
But I told myself to be patient. I know we could get through this. I just have to believe in her and what we are having right now. I also have to keep my hopes up that she does the same.
My birthday's in 3 days and if I was the Elddie John way back when, my wish would be to have Apple Jean in my arms.
