It’s been a long time since I had a relationship that I already forgot how it felt like to be introduced as “my girlfriend” by someone. My boyfriend Bee and I were exchanging text messages all through morning when all of a sudden, I received a message that went like this:

“Not that I’m flirting with you but I really want to see you already”

My heart stopped and my world ceased to spin upon reading his message. Bee is just so sweet. I don’t know how he does it but he has ways to make my heart go pounding wildly on my chest and send butterflies to fill my tummy. It has only been days since we got together and it’s just normal for me to feel like I’m still in cloud nine but his message just sent me skyrocketing upwards. You see, I have always liked Bee all these years ever since I first laid my eyes on his friendster profile but because I had a boyfriend then, thoughts of the two of us getting together never crossed my mind. And besides, he was a year younger than I am and I have always had age issues ever since. So, everything that happened last Monday is still overwhelming me now. I still can’t believe that I am already taken and by someone who has always been in one of my fantasies (okay, not really). It’s really like a dream coming true. His message made me want to see him badly too so I thought of surprising him by dropping by his workplace to fetch him for dinner. When I got there, I used my charms to get a parking space for my car and convince the guards to connive with me in surprising him. I waited outside, bonded with the Manongs while I tried to study for my exams. I was already picturing in my mind his reaction when he sees me there. But instead of him being the only one surprised, I ended up shocked too ‘coz he suddenly appeared out of nowhere, catching me off guard! The Manongs didn’t tell me he was already coming! Waaaah! But all’s well. He still got surprised to see me after all. Since it was only half past seven, I ended up waiting for him to finish his shift at 8 pm in their office. It was a whole new world to me. There were computers everywhere. A far cry from what I’m so used to in my medical world. When he introduced me to his co-workers as his girlfriend, I couldn’t help but smile. It’s something so familiar yet so new at the same time. I can’t remember when I last had been this happy. If this happiness is my prize for all those heartaches I’ve had in the last few months, then I must say that all those tears that I shed were worth it.
