Our First Encounter

How many times did I fail in love? Was it once with Cah? Was it twice with the mother of my child? And then thrice with Beatrice? I do not know. I stopped counting after Beatrice.

It was Friday evening. The usual thing my friends and I would do was just to hang out at gasoline stations and buy some beer. We would freely talk around the corner while playing Clash of Clans. I thought we were all guys, but the moment we reached the place, I saw a small little girl with Jet.

Who is she?I asked my good friend Stephen. *Oh! That's my niece, Beatrice. My dad and I are cousins. She came her so that she would know who are the people behind our clan." Stephen answered me.

We were all drinking then, except her. She said she does not drink because it would harmed her. I smirked at her response. She preferred eating our pulutan instead. I wonder what was her motive of coming here. She was very nice and it seemed that she was not trying to flirt at me or anyone in the group. Except when she licked her upper lip while looking at me. I was shocked of course. She then laughed at my reaction. You have something on your upper lip she said. I was more embarassed.

We talked about Clash of Clan the whole time and how to win wars against other clans. Beatrice then said all of the sudden, I never thought that there were all serious when they called you Barb King. You are literally tall! How tall are you by the way? 6'3?. She asked me with such at ease. 6'4. She smiled when I answered.

Bea and I were not talking all the time because she was busy answering their questions. I also wanted to know more things about her. She is really cute by the way especially when she smiles, her dimple shows up. I started knowing a lot about her and still wanting to know more.

I could remember everything. I remember how sweet she smelled that nice. I remember her being mad at us for being bullied. I remember how she bid goodbye. I thought by drinking, you would start forget everything but my thoughts and my senses were filled with her since then.

I wanted to ask her number. I wanted to take her home. I wanted to be with her alone. She seems so nice and pleasant. Do not get me wrong. I just want to be close to her. It is impossible for us to end up together because she is really intelligent and is working in a huge company, meanwhile I am just a useless thug waiting for my opportunity to come as a sea farer.

You know the feeling that you are craving more for something? I think she felt that towards me.

We got along pretty online. One day, I did not expect her to be blunt and ask my number. I gave it to her naman. Few minutes after my phone was ringing. Damn! I was looting a very good base. I wanted to throw my phone.

Hello giant, oh shoot! That was Beatrice. I tried to gain my composure and answered her politely. Oh yes? Why did you call?, I answered. I just wanted to know how you are doing, she said on the other line. I am fine. Still doing nothing in my life, I answered her. That's cool. Can we meet later? Are you free? Let's watch a movie. I will buy you ticket!, she said nonstop. I wonder where she got all her confidence and was already asking me out after few days of meeting her. I said yes and agreed to meet her the mall near her house. I guess I will be sleeping on my sister's house.

I was waiting for her at the second floor. She said she would be around in few minutes, then suddenly a small girl popped on my side. Bulaga! she said trying to scare me. Haha! Nice try Bei. I said to her. Come on! Let's watch a film na, she said while grabbing my hand. If she was not 5 feet tall and not young looking, we would not look like a father and daughter tandem at the mall.

The movie has not yet ended and she was already sleeping on my left arm. Actually, it has just been thirty minutes since the movie started. She might have spend her night playing CoC againt because she wanted to beat my level. I wanted to wake her up because she would really miss a lot of wonderful scenes, but I ended up staring at her beauty.

I heard her story about her ex-boyfriend who left her for some shitty woman. What an asshole! How could one do such thing to her? She really look like an angel while she was sleeping that I just want to stay at her the whole time. Forget about that movie! I could download one at torrent anyway!

I have fun looking at her pretty face. I almost wanted to kiss her but she started snoring. The people around us gave me a sign to wake her up because her snore disturbed their moment.

Bei, you are missing a lot of scenes already. Wake up. I told her while shaking her right arm. She then woke up and leaned on my left arm again. I am sorry she just said.

After the movie, we had dinner. She grabbed my arm after and wanted to buy some things at the Department Store. She took some chocolates and paid it at the cashier. I allowed her to go wherever she wants so we ended at the parking lot at the back of the mall. She handed me some of her chocolates and said I should try it. Well, it was sweet and I think her lips would taste sweeter with the chocolate on her mouth.

Hey! What was I thinking? I should definitely stop having these type of thoughts about her, but the other side of my brain tells me that I should just enjoy the moment. Oh well, let us where this would all end.

She filled me with wonderful memories

A man always wanted to be a hero in the eyes of her woman, but the opposite thing happened to me. She began to be the candle of my light.

I never planned all of these to happen. I just really wanted to be close to her. I do not think I deserve this from her after what I did to Leah.

I was not unlucky. I was just so stupid.
Leah was the mother of my child. I got her pregnant when we were in high school. She was top in our batch. We became close and something happened unexpectedly, or so we expected it to happen but not the outcome. I was already in Manila studying when she called me and said she is pregnant. I never told anyone about it. I was so young and was so scared. I never wanted to be responsible for such thing.

And then the ball of problem started rolling. I stopped going to school. I worked in a Casino. I met Cah. She looks cute and we share the sane things. We lived in together for six years. I thought everything was going well with us not until the news of me being a father and leaving my son came to her.

She was mad at me for not telling it to her when the relationship was just new. I never really wanted to disclose it to her. I thought she would not accept me then. And so I was wrong again. We broke up and I went back to my hometown.

And here is the girl in front of me
You have a son? she asked me when we were lying in the bed after making love multiple times. She was way hotter in bed compared to all the women I had been witj. Yes and he is taller than you. Haha! I answered her.

She had been loving me despit of my past mistakes. She had been loving despite the fact that I never did something right in my life.

I thought she is going to get mad at me or be disgusted at me, but she did not. She asked me how I felt instead. I told her of course I felt bad that my son do not recognize me as his father. She hugged me tight and kissed me on my cheek. She was feeling cold so I put my t-shirt on her. I hugged her tighter and fell asleep as well.

Lord, my life had been a mess and I promise you this time I will do my best to keep her. No more secrets. I am more better than her exboyfriend she deserves the best of me. I kept saying those words to God before I go to bed.

We visited her elementary school one time. She recalled to me her wonderful memories. I am just so amazed how sharp her memory is.

One Year Apart from Each Other

We had been dating for a while already, but as I promised I needed to work hard for our future. I wanted to see her on my arms when I wake up each and everyday. What is the point of earning anyway when you do not have a family and a beautiful wife to go home to? I wanted myself to be her source of happiness.

Bei, by September I needed to travel to Manila for a training, soon I will become the chef you want me to be. Then I can buy you your favorite steak! I said with glee to her. She was happy for me so she embraced me.

Two days before I need to travel to Manila, we met at the bar with some friends. We were so discreet with our relationship so we were both single in their eyes. Someone from our group was so drunk already that he wanted to hug and kiss Beatrice. I was so mad so I hugged him first and kiss him on the cheek. Dude, let us do it instead I joked at him.

It was already three in the morning and I decided to take her home. I do not have a car though and there were no jeepneys around. We rode a motorcycle instead. We were already at her home.

Are your parents around? I asked her. Yes.

Okay, get inside now Beatrice. It is almost four in the morning.

But I want you to come with me. She said those words begging to me. We ran fast to her room and started making love again. She was on top of me and I cannot help but smile. The woman I wanted to marry me is making love with me.

It was six in the morning when she woke me up. Wake up before everyone wakes up!She said while shaking me. Oh please. I'm still sleepy Bea I said moaning was still sleepy. But we will both be dead if they find you here she said nervously.

Few minutes after would be the last time I am going to see her lovely face again.

I never thought we would end like this

We were talking over facebook messenger for months already and I wonder what has gotten into her. She had not been responding on my messages. She might have been very busy at school. I hope she was just doing well.

Out of boredom, I responded to one flirty text message of a friend. We somehow became an item too in our group. She even went to my place and you know what happened next. Anyway, Bea would not even know about it.

I was so excited to come back home because our training will end up soon. I surprised her by waiting outside her house. The first thing I wanted to do was to hugged her, but her expression was very puzzled.

Why are you here? she acted surprised. I just came home and I wanted to see you. I handed her a birthday invitation. She asked whose birthday it is and I told her it was my niece's first birthday.

I really wanted her to meet my entire family and it happened. They find her so adorable and welcomed her as a family already.I just do not understand why she acted cold after receiving a text message from someone.

She told me that she has already been dating someone else and she cannot afford to lose him. I asked her what weny wrong and these were the words she said. I saw those tagged photos of yours. I even liked those. You were talking so sweet with your neighbor on the comment section. What do you expect me to do? Still wait for you and fight for you? And it was not just one photo. She said with her eyes swelled up with tears.

I wanted to console her. I wanted to explain it to her but I cannot. I am beyond guilty. I broke her trust. I know this was again my fault. I could not just throw the blame on her since she reacted on how I acted.

And I then I saw her red string was not attached to mine. Her's just tangled with mine all along.
