Looking back on our previous years as a couple, I could still remember how we set our dates. We would always sneak out from my home or workplace. Then we'd play billiards, drink/pig out til midnight comes, travel to SM Lipa for shopping, good food or movies, travel and explore places that are new to me, hang out with his buddies, go swimming, stroll around, or, on a lazy day, just hang out in his place to play some real basketball and PS2 or simply lock ourselves up in his room doing the silliest of things that most couples do--playing hard to get haha! We'd fall asleep after snuggles and cuddles and then I'd hear him snore. I would fix my gaze on his handsome face and appreciate his features and sniff his masculine scent. He finds it hard to close his mouth especially when he is asleep. He has this cute toothy smile emphasized by the fullest and reddest of lips, chunky well-bridged nose, fluffy cheeks, wavy or spiky hair, thick brows, blackest lashes, smooth fair skin and big brown expressive eyes. I had never appreciated another man in my life. I am truly in love with the man the heavens had sent me.
Sometimes, when we're hungry we'd go out, buy take outs or do groceries and buy raw food that I'd cook for him. I specialize in cooking Alfredo pasta which delights him. Whenever dusk comes and its time for me to go home, he'd drop me off a block or two from my house and plant a gentle kiss on my lips. He avoids getting his car seen since we're too afraid to get caught by my mom. We're too afraid to lose each other. Our relationship seems perfect, I always pray it lasts forever.
Did we ever fight? Yes. Our biggest fight was when he threatened to break up with me because of our families' differences. It was December 2009 and I thought it was the end of everything. He heard my mum scolding me over the phone because of him. What he heard had hurt him which made him think about letting me go. The following day after my heated argument with my mum, he asked me to join him for breakfast by the beach. I supposed he wanted some decency before calling it quits between the two of us. Overlooking the morning sky, he asked what is my plan after our break-up. I replied with modesty, trying my best to conceal the pain, "I will try my luck in Manila or fix my papers to work overseas. How about you?" He just said, "Whatever it might be, it won't be your business anymore." That definitely broke my heart. Tears started to fall from my tears, and he wiped it. "I love you baby. I could never lose you. We have a wonderful relationship. Let's fix this." And I was saved.
There were still times that we bicker about petty things like him being too childish or being a heavy spender on beers and binge, and I being too sensitive. But we fix this right away. We talk over it within the day and make up. We don't want those petty bickering to pile up and scar our relationship. He isn't a sweet talker but once he says something flattery, he means it and I truly cherish it. When we got engaged, he introduced me to his aunts and uncles in his letter as a very simple, beautiful, smart, hardworking, sweet, talented and humble lady who thinks mature for her young age. He's always a coy in revealing his cheesy appreciation even on papers that he had to crumple his scratch just so I won't be able to read it. Or, like one time, while I was combing my then long mane in front of their large antique mirror, he uttered these words, "Sobrang ganda mo bi, masyado kang maganda para sa akin nakakahiya tuloy ako." Here's what I replied, "Hindi ah. Sobrang gwapo mo baby kaya bagay tayo sa isa't isa." One cheesy guy eh?
He loves me most for being sweet and loving; I love him dearly for being thoughtful and caring.
