Here’s my entry to this week’s Couple’s Corner.

I remember it clearly. It was about three weeks after we first started dating. During those three weeks, we’ve been out several times for coffee, and dinner, and have gone to bars, malls and even had a videoke session. We weren’t alone all those times. Some of those instances were with friends. Whenever we weren’t physically together, though, Kai would send me numerous text messages a day, call me, chat with me online and leave messages for me on Multiply. It honestly seemed like we’ve been going out for a long time already. But I guess, things just happened really fast for us.
After those three weeks Kai asked to see me again. He said he wanted to take me to Alabang. At that time, I was still living in Makati and don’t usually go to Alabang but of course, I said yes, thinking that we’d probably go to a mall. On that day, when we were in his car already, he said he was taking me to Alabang so that I’d have an idea what his daily life is like. Guess where he took me? To his office. He didn’t have work that day. He just wanted to show me where he spends his time 5 days a week, knowing that I really didn’t have much of an idea about the industry where he works. That time he was still working for an international bank in Alabang. I remember thinking to myself ….. okay, sounds cool ….. this guy probably really likes me enough to  show me what his life is really like. 
So, when we got to Alabang, he toured me around the area, pointing out the different places where he and his work buddies hang out. Then he took me to his office. He couldn’t really take me to the private areas so we just stayed at the cafeteria. He talked about his work, his officemates and other stuff. But all that time, I felt there was already something different about him, like he was really nervous about something. I was dying to know what it was but kept my cool (of course). So, I waited patiently for him to gather the courage. Then at one point, when we were sitting there, he just took my hands in his, looked me in the eye and told me that he wanted to show me all those things because he thinks it’s important that I get to know his life ….. because for the short amount of time we’ve known each other, I have already become an important part of his life …. and that he wants to keep me in his life…. because he has fallen in love with me…… awwww! And I just thought, FINALLY! 
I didn’t reply with my own “I love you” during that time. After all, it was really kind of a whirlwind. I had just gotten out of my marriage before I met him and wasn’t really expecting to meet anyone so soon, much less be in a new relationship so soon. He understood that and was even really determined to wait until I was ready. But I guess if it’s meant to be…. it’s meant to be. It just felt right. And so, it turns out, I couldn’t really wait after all. I told him I love him too a couple of days after that…..right after our first kiss, but that’s another story. 😀

  1. Meretrisha, I don’t think he brought me there to show me off coz his office friends weren’t there either. They work in shifts and we went when none of his friends were working that time as well. Hehe.
