Heart Overrule #2

He drove me to a restaurant, not posh. I know he doesn't like going to those place. It's a small cafe-like restaurant. Small and cozy. I like the deco, very vintage. I thought he brought me here because I like vintage. Told you he knows very much about me. 

We ate and drank, talked and laughed so much. It was really nice being with him. He always makes me feel comfortable, and he allows me to be myself. He doesn't judge me. He has never stopped me from doing anything. In fact, he encourages me... It's not like we are dating or anything, it's just that we like each other's company. 

We do disturb each other sometimes... like the message we had earlier on the hugging thingy. I guess it's just an understanding between us both. It's really funny how things are between us. I don't know why, whenever I think of him, he will message me in some way. 

Before we knew it, it was already half past eleven. The restaurant is closing, and we had finished 3 bottles of wine. When I asked for the bill, he said he already paid. Well, I thought I owe him a dinner. He said, "It's your birthday, I buy."

He sent me home and walked me up. I opened the door and turned to face him, exchanged goodbyes. He said, "Can I redeem your promise now?" I gave him a kiss on his cheek, a long one. As I was about to walk into the house, he pulled me and held me so hard in his arms. I felt so warm and comfortable. He then looked me in the eyes and wanted to kiss me. I moved away. "Although I'm divorced, you are still married. Who am I? I don't want to be a third party."

He said, still holding my hands, "Your head overruled your heart again. It's ok." He kissed me on the forehead and let my hands go. Why is it that he understands me so much?
I hold him back, hugged him and whispered into his ear, "For once, I'm listening to my heart."

Heart Overrule #1

With social networking, suddenly everyone remembers your birthday. Tonnes and tonnes of wishes fill your timeline. Genuine or not, they just see and wish for sake... So I don't know when, I have removed my birthdate from the social network. Only few genuine, good friends send you wishes, some are funny, some are really from their hearts, warm. I always believe, it's quality that matters, not quantity.

Anyway, Zdor remembers. He sent me a message, it reads "Go to Landmark, Level 9 Lot 10.18 @ 1400hours". I replied "Meet you there." He said "I'm not going, you enjoy."

He is always so secretive. Well, I decided not to google for the shop and just go there for a surprise. I reached around 145pm, I went straight to the highest floor of Landmark. The hall was big with many many shops surrounding the empty space. All the shops were mostly spa or anything to do with serenity. I found my way to Lot 10.18. It was a spa, I told them my name, and they brought me in. Wow... just what I needed, he always knows what I want.

I send him a message "just what I needed." and for the next 3 hours or more, all I did was relax, relax and relax. It was so nice being pampered. I have always wanted to do this for my birthday, however, I never made it come true, either I was too busy, or I was too lazy. 

I started off with a nice warm bubble bath, a sauna, then a body scrub, and a facial and ended the 3 hours with a nice massage. Talk about perfection. I changed, and took my phone. 

ME: Hey, thanks a million, I'm feeling perfect.

HE: How're you gonna thank me?

ME: Buy you dinner, k?

HE: OK

ME: This is so good, I sooooo wanna give you a hug

HE: Can also, can add a kiss too?

ME: Well, if you appear in front of me now, I promise I will. As in now...

HE: Stop looking at your phone, look where you're going

I looked up, he was standing right in front of me. And that really is Now.

He held out his arms and said, "So?"

I went and hugged him hard for a while, then left his arms. I looked at him, he pointed to his cheeks. I smiled, and he said, "It's ok, I'll leave that for another day, let's go"

You can never guess what he thinks. I said, "Go? Go where? What about my car?"

He replied, "Go eat, you owe me a dinner remember? Leave your car here."

It's nice to see him

I got dressed up for the special event. I'm not very close to both the bride and the groom, but this is the first time I'm attending a "red carpet" event. Well, at least I couldn't recall when was the last time I got myself so dressed up for an event. Anyway, not too much, just plain black long dress. Gina told me not to overdo, just put fake lashes and little make up will get me going. I always thought I'm pretty. Hehe. My hair, as straight as always. I don't frequent the saloon nor do I like to wear heavy make up. 

Since I'm going alone, I left a little later. I don't like to attend functions and all. But this is the first I'm attending being single. I rather go later, then waiting in the hall with strangers. 

As I walked down the stairs to the hall, I felt a little uneasy, as I felt like the whole world is looking at me. But what am I afraid off, I'm pretty. I look out for people whom I know. I spotted Sheling. Thank god. I went to her and for the rest of the night I was with her and friends. They are a bunch of nice people who loves drinking and laughing, suits me well. 

I went to the ladies alone, and as I walked out, I thought I saw a familiar face. It was Ed. Wow, it has been ages since we last met. I gave him a hug, and he asked me to accompany him smoke. I did, from that little ciggarette it led to a 20-minute chat, and he found out I was divorced and he told me he has problems with his wife. Typical guy's talk. It was really nice to meet him. We took a few selfie together, and left to our own tables.

As I was drinking, I was looking out for him. I thought of him, I wanted him to come over. He did come, he knows the people I was drinking with. So he sat and we drank together. 

It just felt nice to see an old friend. A friend whom has loved me so much before.
