This story is a twist of the 2 moons the series.
Excerpt:
Ming being Ming told me surely I had misunderstood and I so wanted it to be true, so I gladly accepted this point of view although I knew without a shadow of a doubt that I had not mishear...
It all started in my second year of high school, the first time I noticed him; I was immediately attracted to him, but he was always with another. My assumption had always been that it was his boyfriend. My eyes could always find him in the crowd whether he was in the schoolyard in the canteen or even in the bleachers, surrounded by others.
Compared to the fair skin pouty lip boy who was always with him I had nothing going for me. I was short and slightly overweight, others often made fun of me. Had Pha not been my friend I would have been bullied mercilessly. My only good point were my dimples and all anyone who saw them wanted to do was poke at them.
After 'meeting' him I decided to go on a diet to lose the extra weight I carried around it took a long time for me to see results but I kept at it. although my efforts were not noticed by him I chose to continue for myself. I was so intent on being noticed by him that by my third year of high school, I was on the basketball team.
The year I graduated high school I decided that I had to put him behind me if I wanted to succeed in my studies since I intended to become a doctor. Life was beautiful and uneventful for my first year of uni as I had managed to put him behind me, at times though I found myself thinking of him and what could have been, in those moments I pulled up my secret picture gallery of him to soothe my aching heart.
I came to realize that my crush had joined the same uni during the 'Moon and Star' practice sessions to which I had followed Pha. But alas I still did not stand a chance, he was still with the same cute guy as before, and now that person looked even cuter, they seemed to be tied to each other even now. I thought I did not stand a chance, that is until he approached me. At the time I thought he was cheating on his boyfriend and I said as much, his response was laughter.
"Boyfriend Phi, what boyfriend?"
"N' Wayo of course," I responded, his laugh just got more boisterous. "Yo, my boyfriend? Never Phi." his eyes were shining with tears so much was he laughing. "Yo, and I have been best friends and inseparable since pre-kindergarten."
To cover my embarrassment I rejected his invitation for drinks as much as I wanted to be in the same place as he. ' Stupid Kit, you let your emotions and your mouth ran away with you,' I thought to myself.
He became my stalker and I relished the thought. I was going to make him work hard for my affection even though he already had it, he didn't need to know that. Did he?
He overcame every challenge I gave him, even winning the title of 'Moon' although this one was a gamble. What would I have done had he lost? Thank goodness I don't have to think about that any more. After he won we went to dinner, as I had promised, although things did not go smoothly, I was upset when he got a call from his ex, I almost flipped but when he explained it to me I somewhat regained my calm. I had not realized that he had been such a lady's man since the whole time I thought he and Yo belonged to each other.
After we'd been dating for a couple of months he asked me the question I'd been waiting for since he confessed to me. "P' Kit, will you officially be my boyfriend?" I pretended to mull it over, he was anxious and I did not want to chance it anymore, "Yes Ming I'll be your boyfriend officially."
After my answer, he picked me up swung me around then gave me a kiss that caused my toes to curl. That was one of the happiest days of my life, finally getting to be with the person I'd loved for so long. As a sign to others that we were now a couple, we each wore a bracelet made of silver and leather the word always and forever were inscribed.

I'll never tell him of this less his head gets any bigger, he does not need to know, maybe when we are old and grey - because I do plan on being with him for a very long time- I'll confess this to him, but in the meantime, this secret remains mine.
I love this man holding me and to think we almost missed each other because I thought he belonged to someone else. I am forever grateful that he did not run away when he met up with my grumpy exterior. I am also grateful that he loves me and only me. He's proven himself to me by cutting ties with someone he wanted to remain friends with because he knew I would be hurt by it. If that's not love then, I don't know what is.
