Twisted Story of My Life

Chapter Nine

As if siding to my desire to fast forward Monday to weekend, indeed the days went by so fast. Maybe because I was busy beating the deadlines of several reports so I did not get the luxury of an idle moment. What else can I say...?

Oh, it's Friday and I am excited! Alyssa and I decided to go on a fun (or corny?) double date this weekend. We are going to Enchanted Kingdom. I am not a fan of rides but I do not mind so long as I got Zeke's hands to hold on to I guess I will get by. Call me childish but I would do just that. My phone sounded indicating a new message received.

Zeke: Here already. Miss you, sweetie. Can't wait to see and kiss you.

I felt my lips pouted as if wanting to get that kiss. I managed to reply.

Alex: Miss you more. Just a couple of hours left, love.

As soon as I entered the condo I came running to Zeke who received me with open arms. He then clutched me tightly and we kissed continuously. We did not mind the presence of Lucille who was then busy fetching some dishes from the table, perhaps used for my baby's snacks.

I freed my body from our sweet embrace then touched his face and looked at him in the eye and said, "Just so you know... I have never breathed a single breath not imagining how you would smell if you were with me. I have never thought of a single thought without you in it. I have not eaten a single meal without thinking of how happier I could have been if we shared it. To sum it up, I have never done anything without the thought of you. I terribly terribly missed you. I am so madly in love with you! I love you Zeke!"

I think I saw a tear fall from his eye. He hugged me tightly.

"Just to remind you... I love you more and I love you most!" He said kissing me on the forehead. We hugged more. Not the first time I heard him say that he loves me most. Makes me think if there is another one; I really have to eliminate that thought though for we could have not been back together if there is. Or is there?

We decided not to go out for dinner tonight. We just settled for pizza and chicken wings delivery. We ate while watching TV. Too hard to concentrate on the show though since chewing and swallowing then kissing and laughing at our silliness has come sequentially. Talk about major making out. I so love this guy!

We then slept hugging each other again. I quietly inhale the smell of his hair, the smell of the skin on his cheek, and the smell of the air that comes out when he breathes. This closeness just makes my heart gallop. Now I am afraid that I might wake him with the loud beating of my heart. I feel that I love him now a hundred times over than our first relationship.

Good thing Tom is driving. Zeke and I are comfortably cuddling at the back of Tom's car. We just grabbed McDonald's Sausage Muffin with Egg and coffee for breakfast.

"Hey love birds, get a room!" Alyssa joked.

Zeke and I are busy feeding each other and rewarding each one with a kiss for each bite.

"Tom, why don't you give Alyssa a kiss? She seems jealous," Zeke joked back. We all laughed but I can almost see Alyssa blushing. The road trip was long but we enjoyed it.

We tried most of the rides. The whole time Zeke and I are holding hands. I screamed in the adventurous rides. Oh those sudden turns and jumps.

I discovered something. The beating of my heart when Zeke and I are too close has the same rhythm as when we were at the space shuttle. Makes me breathless at times but makes me want to come back. Scary but fun, and worth the adventure.

I felt like a teenager dating with my heartthrob boyfriend. We ate ice cream cones and cotton candy. But Zeke is still the sweetest if you ask me.

This is the third night that we are sleeping beside each other. Yet I always feel that I cannot get enough of him. This is already an addiction I know.

I never thought it was possible for me to be this fascinated to this guy. As if he could hear my thoughts he leaned nearer and whispered, "I love you most..." Then he continued sleeping even before I could respond. With no other thought, I also went to sleep.

We all went to Sunday Mass at Greenbelt Chapel and then had brunch. Sadly Zeke has to leave today. He is putting up another auto shop and he needs to close deals. Well, I am so proud of him. Handsome, loving, and responsible; I really could not ask for more.
