I made efforts to contact her. Which came easy with the help of facebook. We had a little conversation through text messaging but we never met. She was busy with school and i was busy at home. Days became months our conversations through text was really so cold. Jenny seemed to be busy and then i found out she had someone but they broke up too. That was her 11th relationship all of them were MEN (real men). January of 2010 January is always the most exciting month, the start of the year and that is the feast of the whole island of Cebu. I saved so much so i could take her out. The second week of January i already have told her about my plan to go out with her during the feast and was able to tell her that saying NO is never an option. She told me she has already told her friends that she’ll tag along with them. I got hurt and didnt bother to reply. I stop texting for almost 2 days then got a text that she’ll go with them but only until 10pm later part of that day she’ll look for me in the city. She knew where to find me since each year its where we always hang out. ( It was difficult to text since text messages comes late during that festival like if u text someone they will get that after an hour or worst the next day.) So yeah, we agreed and days went on. (Festival takes place every 3rd Sunday of January) I woke up that day around 8 or 9 am and watched tv to see if the roads are busy already so i get ideas where to walk. Texted some friends if they were on the streets or not. So time passed an i met my friends was with my brother that day too. We watched the parade ate at the streets then sat on the road to relax then the night came which ever road you take you’ll see party everywhere. But i headed to the usual place where we always sit and drink. So we already started and about 8pm the fireworks has started me along with my friends watched the fireworks and i waited for her to text and arrived. 10pm came and she didnt arrive 1030pm she was still not there. 1045 pm someone tap my shoulders. And there she was smiling. Though she looked tired. I gave a chair and asked f she wanted to drink. So we did and around 3am we started to feel tired and all decided to head home.. She said she wanted to stay with me so i took her to my dad’s house. We slept there. I was already in bed with her then she hugged me. I couldnt move, i wanted to touch her but was too afraid what might come next. But she kissed me and hugged me at the same time i kissed back and held her tight. I cried again because i knew i really have to choose. I need to stop going in circles. I love her, i think i do. Because if i loved Sakura enough i would never even dare to think about Jenny while i sleep with Sakura. So i wanted to try. The next day since it was her day off and class was suspended(Monday after the festival is a rest day for all). So she went home to take a bath and head back to me again. I went home too, took a bath and head back to my dad’s house i waited for her. I was always in a rush when it comes to seeing her. I watched tv to pass time then a knock on the door came. I opened the door and let her in. The house was empty since my dad was at work and my stepmom wasnt home too. We ate brunch and watched tv and since we both cant keep our hands to ourselves, things happened again. Jenny makes everything interesting. And this scenarios went on for another month. Until twas around March 2, 2010 around 10pm we were outside my dad’s house, along with my sis and her bf.  Had snacks and then i whispered that i wanted to talk to her in private. And we did. I asked her to be my girlfriend. She was quiet. She hasnt said a word. I knew qhy she cant. Twas again because of Sakura.
