On repeat : Slow Hands / Niall Horan
Jade
Wanderlust. I feel so alive in her lips. I've never been this liberated. Althea is such a wonderful kisser, I wonder if I live up to her level. She's my first kiss and the feeling is much surreal than the way it's describe in those Nicholas Sparks movie.
After our stint at the orphanage a month a go, its back to reality. Final exams for the 2nd sem is within a month. My friend's are cramming with the mix of exams and projects. As for me, I'm walking on sunshine. Its all because of Althea Guevarra. She has been dropping love letters on my locker on random days, she also send flowers at home, my siblings has been teasing me since, not because its the first time somebody send me flowers but because its the first time I actually accepted it. I even bring it up to my room and hug it to sleep that night. She's super sweet even in sending text messages, she would text me sweet nothings early in the morning when she woke up and late at night before she sleeps.I had tons of suitors before Althea, male suitors. They shower me with expensive gifts and nonstop flattery. Some even seek for my father's approval first before going with the actual courtship. Most of them are son's of my Dad's business partner. I always feel exploited with them, it leaves a notion that my love life is a business partnership rather than a romantic one.
But my father's bet is on David. For years now, my dad keeps on talking about how secure my future is with him, that he knows the family too well and that he's a good person. To silence my Dad I decided to give it a shot, we go out on dates a couple of times before. He really is a good person, very firm and proper, a true gentleman. But his perfection lacks one important thing... attraction. I don't feel even an ounces of attraction to him, no sparks, no butterfly in my stomach. I see him more of a brother.Opposite to David, I always have this curiosity towards Althea. Since the first time I saw her, I got attached to her. I would silently pass by the room where she practice with her band, if I'm lucky I would pass by and laugh because she always goes out of key when she saw me pass by the door. There came a time that I pass by the music room and saw her acoustic guitar near the door, I look around and no one's on sight, I hurriedly took a photo of it and made it my wallpaper ever since.
I always envy her free spirit, she's free to do what makes her happy. Something I could only wish for.
But so far, with Althea, I feel free. I don't know how she do it but she makes me feel like there's nothing I can say to make her change her mind. Her kiss, her lips, I could drown myself in those lips. I never felt anything like this before, I need to get more of Althea.
Oh my.., me and my perverted thoughts.

Best month of my life so far. I played Casanova since the orphanage thing. All those things I use to imagine, now I'm actually doing it, courting Jade, sending flowers, long hand written love letters, sweet nothings.
"Hey Loverboy"
